I closed opera9.exe and voicecmd.exe. I'll keep on monitoring the battery levels for another day or so to see if that was the problem. Is there any way to edit which programs start up (like msconfig.exe on a pc)?

Thanks for all the suggestions!
So...I am in the same boat....my battery is about dead after 6 hours. Surely there is an easy explanation. I too have opera9.exe running automatically. Do you with good battery life also have this running?

I flashed back to Sprint stock ROM and all that jazz.

Can someone give a breakdown of what NEEDS to be running automatically, what might be but doesn't need to be.....and how to disable them permanently if they aren't in the \windows\startup folder?

Is there some other reason for those of us who have short battery life?

I did a hard reset yesterday and have installed nothing "custom" other than Lil Rico's blue pack....so I don't quite understand how my battery life could be so staggeringly different than others with 4.8
