Thanks!
When I want to shut off apps, I turn the phone completely off, then turn it on again with only the app or apps that I want to have running.

Turn off wifi when not using it. When not using GPS, turn that off. Etc.

The screen uses a lot of power.

I do not have a SIM card in mine, so I do not know how much that saves battery or not. But I have heard that if you are out of cell range, that the phone will keep trying to connect to a cell tower, using more power. I do not know if you can disable the phone system from working while leaving it on for other purposes like GPS or not.
