Yep, screwball is officially junk.To be fair, I too made the mistake of purchasing Screebl. I thought it would save me battery and keep the screen on, but it was reporting back as using way more battery than it was saving. Instead I set the screen timeout to 10 minutes and I just hit the end button whenever I'm done with a task.
Kudos to the guy that wrote it for making a fine video to promote it, but the thing is a battery KILLER! I just checked and it was using 51% (!). I got suspicious when my battery life suddenly plummeted from about 33 hours to around 25 (with 1750 battery). I quickly uninstalled and am using your solution. And in truth, I was having trouble remembering to not turn the phone off with the end button as that had become ingrained in my habits already. I'm just glad I didn't pay for the upgrade.
Someone should start a thread about useless/overpromising/hog apps. I nominate MyBackup & Screebl.
