I can't say for sure yet, but I don't know if Gyrator2 plays very nicely with the battery. I still have to test it out again, so this is just a suspicion. Let me know how your test is going.
That wouldn't account for your terrible battery life, however. My guess is that you have something that is constantly connecting to the internet. You say you don't have the weather updates on. Perhaps it is a different program. There are 2 programs that I found were unexpectedly connecting to the internet:
Pocket Express (the little red circle with a white hand in it in the programs list) - If you open it once, it sets it up to update automatically every 4 hours. You have to open it up again and set it so that it never updates.
Instant Messenger - I had set up my AIM account for some instant messaging, and thought that when I exited, it would close this down. It didn't, though, and was always connected to the internet, severly draining my battery (only getting less than 10 hours maximum life). This would even happen after soft-resets, and what was most confusing is that the program wouldn't even be open (according to the task manager), but next thing I know I'm getting an incoming IM from someone (it must keep some service open that connects to the internet and keeps an active connection for the IM clients). To fix this I opened the program, and now make sure to "Sign out and Exit" instead of just "Exit" now whenever I use the program, and this significantly increased my battery life.
I don't know what "TP Cleanup" you are talking about, or what changes it might make, but you might want to check through that a bit to make sure something there isn't causing your problems.
