I have the Optimus v. apps like Skype, Amazon market and game apps that I download keep restarting themselves, even after I force close them. I know that Droid needs some programs to stay open, but why would a pool game or Skype need to remain open? they are killing my battery. how do I resolve this?

The brief explanation is that Android caches apps in memory; this is not the same as "running" and does not consume battery (except to load them, which will happen more often if you try to micromanage by force closing or using a task killer). Signal strength, screen brightness, and the number and frequency of apps syncing data will have a far greater effect on battery life.

Because they arent really using CPU and arent really running. Doesnt matter if you see them as "running", but they arent really killing your battery.
