From the list, the only thing that jumps out is that Chainfire GFXBoost prog, not exactly what it changes or if it is truly uninstallable, but try it...that would be my first guess. What is your gwes.exe when your % is that big? (go to Start, System, Task Manager...not the one in settings.)
The start menu on the 3.23 version of MR is different from the last version. Its basically just the WM6.5 start menu. I noticed it was different when I flashed from the last version. I do have the task manger program you are refering to though.

Ill have to get back to you on what gwes is at cause I just restarted. Its at 17072 kb now. Ill have something to compare to tomorrow afternoon when the usage is higher.

I'll uninstall the GFXBoost cab and see if it improves. The GFXBoost program makes Coreplayer play videos much smoother, but if its killing my battery its not worth it.

Grab batterymonitor cab and see what numbers you come up with....numbers never lie....there is a possibility that you have a bad battery also....
Hmmm... wasnt sure if GFX would be a problem or not. Im willing to try anything though. Ill get that batterymonitor cab and see what it tells me.

when I'm in dallas, I can usually get thought the day with 40-50% remaining. however when I travel to west texas, my phone is dying by 5-6 pm. and that is with all same apps installed/running, and basically same usage pattern.
Its funny that you mentioned this cause I started noticing the problem while I was in San Antonio, TX working on a solar power plant project. Im back home in Denver, CO now and still seem to have the same battery issues.
