Like I said many times if your battery life is noticeably worse after you install an app then that new app is searching for something and using the radio (network or WiFi, doesn't matter-it all comes off the battery). Figure out how to use that app and shut it totally off. Don't start messing with the OS in a case like this. I think what happens is we get a new phone and install a bunch of new apps and go nuts with it and the battery drains from the app useage and because it's brand new (batteries get a little better after a few charges). Then things calm down and we figure out how to shut stuff off or we shut it off by installing another OS and all's well .
