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

Like I said, I just went into Programs > Task Manager and closed opera9.exe. Since that was off, my battery life was tons better. Its been 9 hours and I'm at 60%, thats with email/15-20 texts/and 20-30 minutes of calls.

I've opened opera several times during the 9 hours and it closes when I 'x' out (meaning it doesn't stay on in task manager). Opera9.exe seems to run in the background when you boot up, so just close it/kill it and see if your results are similar...
