Hey guys! I'm having an issue with my EVO. I normally keep 4g, GPS and wifi disabled, I don't use the bluetooth and until today I haven't used task killer at all. My battery life without 4g turned on at all is roughly 8 - 10 hours. I don't talk much or send texts much...
I started using Advanced Task Killer (ATK) today, it's been showing that things like sprint football, amazon mp3 store, and other such items which I never touch are running. So, I would kill the applications, and maybe all of 20 minutes later they're running again.
So, I stopped all unnecessary applications including ATK and what I've been noticing for the past few days is still going on... What I'm noticing is that 3g is always transmitting something... I attempted to see if killing all running applications would stop it, but no, 3g still keeps transmitting... I think that this is what is causing the severe battery drain.
My questions are....
1) How do I get rid of those stupid stock apps that run automatically as there is no uninstall button for them under the applications manager?
2) Does anyone have any idea why 3g is always transmitting up and down almost non-stop...?
3) Does anyone have any ideas of increasing the battery life... I've already reduced my screen brightness to 10%, turned the screen timeout down to 15 seconds, and disabled all window animations. I've removed bookmarks and friendstream widgets, I've deleted all unnecessary accounts such as stocks and news since I don't use those.
