Droid Users - question

[Matt J]

Charge is great now. My email are getting hung up, too. I have to power off, then on to get email to refresh and send new.....not that I need to be that connected, but just sayin'......you know?

wrobert, I need help - how do I find which app is the drain or issue?

If you want any smart phone to work properly it should be power cycled* at least once a day.

*turned off and then turned on, most of the newer ones have a timer that does this automatically.

I am using a Motorola Droid. I go into settings, about phone, battery use, from there it list the applications I use and what percentage of battery discharge they are responsible for.

I turn off my GPS and Wireless unless I am using them. I went into the settings and reduced the brightness and amount of time my screen stayed on to the minimum I could live with. I can pretty much get a whole day out of the phone if I have too. But if I want to read something (Kindle App) while stuck in a boring meeting, it is sometimes close so I put it on the charger if I am going to be in the office for a bit.

My phone guy told me to hold my finger down on a blank part of the screen and select android widgets then select power control

then hold your finger down on a blank part of the screen again and then go to Samsung Widgets and select Program Monitor.

These 2 things will show up on your screen and when you have tasks/aps open that drain your battery you can choose to end them all.

Doing this has worked wonders for the battery life of my phone.
