For whatever reason Phone.apk and TelephonyProvider.apk were running on my rooted PRS-T1 and ate up almost all of the battery (as "cell standby" or something like that). I renamed both and successfully got rid of the processes. Now most Android guides strongly advice against removing these two apps because they are deeply connected to Android's inner working. Has anyone had any side effects when getting rid of them?

Has everyone else these apps taking 95% of the battery power? I did not pay close attention to when exactly they started running...maybe they run all the time even on an unrooted T!, maybe they got onto my system with Android Market, I do not know.

I should add that immediatly after renaming phone.apk, the reader starts a loop with annoying crash messages, but after holding the power button to restart (and quickly clicking the error messages away to get to the restart field) it was ok.
