This has become a huge problem on evo since the last update, it's absolutely destroyed my battery life. I can't seem to stop it no matter what settings I change.
Any apps that can fix this?

App to keep apps from turning on automatically

What apps are you talking about? Apps shouldn't be starting up on their own. How do you know they are running? Are you talking about a task killer? If so, you dont need one, they actually make it worse. Apps that are in the background are NOT running, they are just cached. Killing them will just make the OS have to load them back up again, using more battery than if you would just leave them alone.

They, in most cases, are supposed to turn on and do not affect battery life. See here:-

Wow really? Wish someone told me that. Task killer is what I have been looking at to see what's running.

Task Killers show you what's "in memory", not necessarily only what's "running" (e.g., using your CPU cycles).
If you want to know what apps are actually running, install Watchdog Lite. Watchdog Lite shows what's using CPU cycles and will alert you to apps that are "misbehaving" (e.g., "using too many CPU cycles"). Any app with 0.0% showing are "cached in memory" and not running.
