I got my X on launch day. Didnt really know if there were problems off the bat, as I was learning the phone. This is my first smart phone. 1 1/2 weeks later Verizon offered a Droid X Class. I though wow this would be great especially being new to smart phones and since it didnt come with an instruction booklet. The verizon rep sat down and went over the phone and its operations. The first thing he said is YOU NEED A TASK KILLER on your phone, he immedialtey installed the ADVANCED TASK MANAGER, he also put a widget on my phone and said to hit this two to three times a day, He said this would save on my battery.
Being green to all this I believed him.(Prior to going in, the first week I had the phone my battery was lasting about 10 hours and I thought thats because I havnt put it down trying to learn it.) I left feeling good. My battery was lasting two days without charging it. I was impressed. I started to notice I couldnt get my caller ID read to work, My alarm clock/timer stopped working, It was rebooting on its own every once in a while. I went back to verizon and they said this will all be fixed once the next update comes out not to worry, he said to download another alarm clock app from the market which I did and that seemed to work. after having this on my phone for about 2 1/2 weeks I noticed by battery draining fast,had to charge every night. the verizon people said that it was still good to get through a full day some others are not.
I wasnt satisified with this answer so I went to Motorola forum and was reading some of there posts about caller Id issues. Someone from motorola said they dont know why verizon is putting these task killers on the phone, he recommeneded I uninstall, which I did to see if this fixes the problems. Well guess what it did, everything started working again on the phone the way it was suppose to. I pulled off charger by 7am and coming home from work at 6 my phone is at 60-70% depending on usgae, I do alot of texting,making calls facebooking, On days I add taking lots of photos by 6 its about 40-50%, Plus i have weather and toggle widget with animations on my screen all the time.
If I didnt charge the phone one night I might squak by the next day if I was lucky. SO I feel this is worth trying, If you have a task killer on your phone and your phone is having issues try unistalling the app, do a shut down of the phone and see what happens over a weeks time, You might find all your little bug problems going away. Good luck
