UPDATE: After solving the problems as detailed in the following posts, I reinstalled the offending app and have NO problem. It doesn't even register on the battery use monitor when not being used. I write this because I don't want users researching this app to think that it will cause a problem. Maybe this could have happened with any app, maybe it was a glitch in the operating system or file recording, who knows. I'd hate to a have anything to do with denigrating the hard work of app developers for something that may not have been their fault.
My battery life became dismal after installing Sudoku Free from Genia. This happens while the phone is just standing by. When I checked battery use in settings,
I noticed application com.icenta.sudoku.ui is the second highest drain on power after Screen. It is using more battery than the Android OS.
So I tried various things. I uninstalled it, rebooted the phone, wiped the cache and there was no change after each of these steps.
Also tried to "force stop" the application, but the button in greyed out and not usable.
I'm at a loss for what to try next. Any help is appreciated.
