Samsung recently pushed out a software update for the fascinate. Now, all these unused / unwanted / uninstallable apps (vz nav, skype mobile, city ID, etc.) constantly run. The extended battery now last 4 hours or less, when it used to last 2 days. VZW & Samsung were absolutely no help. Also have a HTC incredible 2, that constantly runs apps that I don't use.
Anyone know of a good app killer that will keeps these closed so my battery will last the day?

All those apps DO NOT kill a battery. Everyone of those apps are on mine and I get a days use out of my device. Ya need to look at your device and see what is syncing, how long, and such. Or maybe you are streaming music constantly. THAT will kill a battery in about 3-1/2 hours. Those apps running in the background are not using the CPU thus they are not using the battery.

This is 100% correct. The stock apps that come with the phone, or are added with updates do NOT use the battery or memory hardly at all.

That's a good one. Sometimes an app installed may go rogue and use up more than it should use due to corruption or incompatibility. Anything that isn't "running" should use 0-1 processes(1 process apps using core background running API's as those will always run regardless if app is open or not).
Also keep in mind as far as core API's goes. Some task killers will see something and think it's running because of the core API. Unlike windows, Android(Linux for that matter) SHARE API processes. Windows will load them as many times as you open apps that need them. This is why people consider Android(Linux) more effecient at memory management.

This the app I have used for ages to see how much resources are being used. Great app to see those preinstalled apps are not using any resources or consuming the CPU.

Do you use the paid app or the free version?
I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.
