The difference, of course, is that any app I get out of the market I can uninstall. This thing you can't just uninstall. You can just look at it while it chews your battery up and do nothing about it.

I'm not sure that clarifies anything, or that there's really a debate. I don't have too much of a problem with Verizon putting apps on the phone, but I do have a problem with unprofessionally putting apps on the phone that haven't undergone testing. It is an interesting data point though (that...

I agree. It's incredible that this wasn't found in QA testing.

I did the temp root thing and my battery problems seem solved. I went to sleep last night with 100% and woke up with like 93...and I used the screen some in between. 7% over 7.5 hours is way better than 5% every 20 minutes. What I did: 1. purchased Bloat Freeze for $.99 2. Followed the...

I don't think it's defective (from a mechanical perspective anyway). It's running that task in the background. That task is making it so the phone doesn't sleep and it slurps a ton of the battery. I do agree that it makes the phone damn near useless and I'm very frustrated by it. I wish I...

Yeah I'm sitting at home pondering that now. Not sure if I should wait til tomorrow and take it to a Verizon store to talk to them about it...maybe try to exchange it for an Iphone 4.

I saw that and would like to avoid such drastic measures. But I'm sure I'll eventually go there. :( ETA: Spare Parts reports that the phone isn't sleeping at all. I'm so annoyed by this. I guess I can try rooting it, but will that void warranties and such? I can't afford to buy yet another...

So I've done some stuff since I posted this this morning: Installed Spare Parts Turned off Wifi Updated that Blockbuster app that seems to be causing problems for people Charged it to 100% twice So after charging it to 100% the second time, I disconnected it at 2:18 PM and then only checked...

Just got my Incredible 2 last night, replacing an original droid. Charged it up to 98% before I went to sleep, when I woke up it was at 16%. I'm freaking out a bit, because I need this phone to be reliable when I'm on call. I've read that maybe the battery needs to be charged to full a few...
