Have to disagree. When sprint zone, sprint navi, and other bloatware are constantly running themselves in the background for no reason its a problem. Yeah you can go ahead and claim they are idle or whatever but anyone who has tested battery with/without a task killer will tell you different.

and if you use ATK on safe settings it does not kill processes, only real life apps. processes dont even show up in it, only things in the list are apps either I opened, or magically running sprint apps
