    I suggest reading one of the several huge threads on this forum regarding TB battery issues....

    I'm not using any apps to kill tasks or make the battery better, idk I don't trust apps that tell you they will make the battery better.

    Just changed all my sync settings, brightness, blockbuster, and the rest of the advice in the forums and my phone if used lightly can last 30+ hours

    Uninstall super box and see how it changes battery life. It's a task killer which does more harm than good. It's got WAY TOO MUCH going on!

    Unrooted..how do you kill all that stuff you have been opening and backing out of that does not have a options to Exit, or close w/o the kill app, you just use the back button to back out ..right? But it is still running somewhere? Also does having one of the Battery check Apss too eat up battery?

    When you back out of an app, that app does not actually keep running in the background. Think of it as a bookmark. When the Android system needs more memory to run another task it will automatically kill off tasks that are of the lowest priority. Essentially Android has a built in task killer that manages itself far better than any of those task killer apps. This is not just my opinion, it is absolute fact. STOP using task killers!!! They do far more harm than good.
