It's more time consuming, but most of them will stay stopped after that. A few refuse to die, like the stocks app, but they don't seem to use much battery.

Some apps start up when you make a call (like amazon mp3, as if that was relevant to talking on the phone). But in general most of the apps I stop this way stay off.
Ahh...great advice, I will try this!

Yeah, the Amazon mp3 thing is definitely stupid. I have never even visited Amazon.com from my phone.
