why is there so much crap opening itself up?

how come whenever i check my advance task killer thats so much bs open that ive never opened before? like sprint zone and sprint nav is almost always open and media hub and voicemail and voice dial and crap like that. battery life would probly be prefect if those would just stay closed...

Re: why is there so much crap opening itself up?

check to see what's "using" your battery... you'll find that those apps aren't "doing anything" that consumes battery... (most likely)

Re: why is there so much crap opening itself up?

from the home screen, bring up the menu. go to settings> about phone> battery usage.
i have a shortcut on my homescreen that goes straight there, but for the life of me cant figure out how i put it there.

Evo gets decent battery life when in standby and not syncing a ton of different things. If you're running. Froyo uninstall your task killer, its not needed, I get the same battery life either way.
