Hey Everyone,
Ive had this device since its launch date and with the exception of a few problems with the GB load and initially not understanding the Sync when first setting up the phone, its an exceptional device. I am still trying to improve battery life and internal storage, and many of the post here have helped a great deal!
I have a couple of other questions I couldn't find on the board...
1) Moving apps to the SD Card: I am unable to move Flash, Maps and YouTube to my SD Card. I see preinstalled apps cannot be moved and the transfer function is reserved for 3rd party apps essentially. Anyway around it?
2) ATK: I have read over and over how this is no longer necessary to use since 2.2, is there any good use for it? I bought the full app sometime ago and since I purchased it, figure I would utilize it since its there and IF it serves any benefit, otherwise, I will just uninstall it.
3) Running Services: Is there a way to kill an app after its running for an x amount of time? Per the Running Services feature, the only thing that is running now outside of the the system and its utilities is my Facebook app, wondering if that can automatically be killed after maybe 10 or 15 minutes of no activity? I think it runs because I have the notifications on, maybe I can shut those off? I know ATK has a periodic kill function, but as mentioned in the previous question, ATK may not be an option.
4) Battery Bar: Using an app thru the Market that shows me the remaining battery percentage in the toolbar...since its always running its obviously using resources but would something like that app draw a significant amount of battery use?
5) Keyboard: Is there anyway to remove, or deactivate the mic button on the keyboard? Tried other keyboards and found myself always going back to the delivered keybaord since I have become used to it.
6) Renaming Icons on Home Screens: Can this be done? Have some apps where the description is pretty long. Not that its a big deal, was just curious since I do it on my PC often. Example: Changing "Bank of America" to "BofA"?
Sorry if any of these questions have already been posted and addressed. Thanks!

The OS handles this, dont worry about it if you try to do it with an app you lose battery life
4) Battery Bar: Using an app thru the Market that shows me the remaining battery percentage in the toolbar...since its always running its obviously using resources but would something like that app draw a significant amount of battery use?
i use one and see no impact on my battery
5) Keyboard: Is there anyway to remove, or deactivate the mic button on the keyboard? Tried other keyboards and found myself always going back to the delivered keybaord since I have become used to it.
