primarily dealing with battery life:
#1
what exactly does the "Background Data" option enabled do?
from my limited experience, it only affects Marketplace
and is it a no brainer that leaving it off = better battery life?
will it affect any apps i have running? (twitter widget, beautiful widgets, pure calendar)
I currently have twitter to synch every 2 hours, beautiful widgets home to sync every 12 hours, and pure calendar every 12 hours
Does the background data option enabled affect PUSH gmail and my fetched yahoo email?
#2:
What is this "Auto-Sync" setting people are saying to turn off, in order to save battery. I see no such option when i look at my settings, unless they are referring to background data? And what does auto sync affect?
and i seriously do not understand how people are making their droid x last more than 24 hours with moderate use, i have every single setting turned OFF (gps, wifi, bluetooth, background data) and my screen brightness on 20%
