maps and other apps keep launching in the background?!

Im puzzled why maps and other apps keep autostarting in the background?

and eat battery... maps alone can eat up to 10% of my battery in the duration of a day, even if I dont use it...

Get a task killer app and set it to always kill maps, and set a schedule for pruning (like every 30 mins). It's not supposed to start by itself. If you haven't rooted/flashed a custom ROM on it, call HTC. If you have, unroot and go back to stock for a day and see if the problem persists. If it doesn't, it's the ROM's fault.

Either a software bug or an application issue. Have you reset to factory settings (full wipe)?

I'm sorry, but that is hilarious.

About as much as 2 packs of Kleenex.

Okay, serious answer. All data on the phone, but not SD card too (on the off chance that something goes wrong, just copy/paste everything on your SD card to your PC, so you can restore)
