As gtalk is an app that will do more than when it is not running and signed in, I expect battery time to drop.

That disable internet is a new thing to me. Did you mean you disabled WiFi? If so, that's a power consumer in cell phones. It's like turning on the air conditioning in a car. You'll get less miles per gallon.

As you are repeating what others have learned, that is, turn off things to extend battery time, what more is there to say here?
