Hello all, now I have a weird problem. Apps like map, internet, spring navigation, voice dial turn on randomly. I no its bad to use app killer but when these things are on they kill my battery and I have no choice but to use it.

Also a random question, how much does ur battery drain when ur using the internet?
 
I find that a number of apps - especially Qik and Sprint Navigation - turn themselves on when I leave my phone unattended for a while. This happens most often when I leave my phone plugged in to charge over night. I kill all but Clock, and Weather before going to bed, and most mornings Qik and Sprint Navigation have opened themselves up. Sometimes MP3 Store does too. Note: I have never used any of these apps.

mp3 store always randomly loads and i could never figure out how to stop it.... i just have my app manager/killer set to leave it alone and it seems to not really do anything doesn't even use CPU

qik and sprint navigation stay off now unless i restart the phone

Same here, theres a ton of apps that continue to open up on their own after my phone is idled for a period of time. I use the app killer to kill them off and i get 15 hrs of batt life, now im about to do a comparison and leave them on and see how it impacts the battery life
