I hate to say it, but its not true. Turning off all things that your not using does improve battery life. Also, depending on how your phone is set up, what apps you have running in the background/updating, how many widgets, etc. plays a part in battery drain.
Sorry, I wasn't clear in my statement. Sure if you disable certain features and background syncing, etc. you will see longer battery life, I was just trying to point out that it is possible to achieve 16 hours of decent usage and still keep all of this stuff on. A 5 hour battery life points to a bad battery, not background apps and whatnot..... or extreme heavy usage I suppose. These devices are designed to be more efficient then the androids of old (like my awful thunderbolt).
