Anyone else have this happen? This morning my phone battery started draining really fast and the phone was hot. After a couple hours, battery was drained, I checked the system to see what was the drain and it showed facebook took out 89% of the battery. I'm not even using facebook. How do i get it to stop?

I noticed that, too. Went to bed around midnight with 46% battery and woke up to 14%. Usage showed FB had used the bulk of the juice and my N1 was warm. Today I have had the FB app open a few times, mad a few calls and a text or three and since fully charged have dropped to only 95% after about 4 hours.

Do you have the autosynch feature on constant or something? Try turning off notifications in FB setting and see if that stops the issue.

If it's still running then try killing the app. And if it still perssits...than your FB app might be corrupted and you'd need to uninstall it...but since it's a stock app you won't be able to unless your phone is rooted. :/

Thank You for the help. The issue just randomly stopped. Weird. When it was happening it didn't even show FB as an active app.
