"Hidden in Plain Sight Forehead Slapping Update":
Before Amber, I had deleted many of the built in apps. It never occurred to me that they were back and running.
Based on someone's comments in a related thread, I went to Settings, then sideways to Applications, where there is Background Tasks.
I was astounded at how many apps were running back there. Games, which I never, ever care about. Gas Buddy, I installed it once, tested, and there it was still running two weeks later. For each app that I didn't want running, I opted for "Block". You can still start up and use your app, it just won't run it in the background after you close it. I also stopped the Live Tile for CNN, it's so slow world peace could break out before it flips again.
I reset my battery monitor, and after a few hours, my consumption is....................1.06% per hour!!!!
So, run your Glance (mine is set for 24 hrs a day) and your Triple Tap, but turn off those background apps!
how did u reset ur battery monitor? I'm getting a 20% discharge rate I only have 3 apps running in the background and signed into Skype I get roughly 3-5 hours with moderate to heavy usahge and that's with or without being logged into Skype
