Should I keep it or not?

[md17]

Ok so this is my first droid phone and it is amazing...but I am wondering if I shoulld give it up for the incredible or not. I have already in one day had the battery manager issue, and no sound when making phone calls? Will this get fixed win an update or should I bring it back. I hate redownloading everything.

I believe it will all be fixed in the near future, but the Inc is a great phone as well. The biggest downside I see to it is battery life. I think people have a real hard time getting through a day without charging, where my X has 40 to 50% left when I go to bed. I could never trade my X for an Inc...love the screen size. Besides, if I wanted a phone with no technical issues, I would have bought 2 tin cans and big ball if string.

I enjoyed my inc, but the battery life is down right horrible. The X is a great phone but no phone is perfect. Thats something a lot of people don't remember. I couldn't get from 8am-3 or 4pm on the inc with out it dying. The X i can get at least from 8am-1am while still having 40% battery life.

Yea I definitely would not be able to handle that battery life on he inc. The screen size is awesome, but I just really want motorola to know that there is a problem when making some calls and there's no sound. From what I have read they have not acknowledged that one yet.

I don't know that this IS a widespread problem. It has never happened to me. Maybe you can exchange it for a different X first to see if your replacement does the same thing. Even then it could be a bug in an app causing the problem. You shouldn't have to redownload everything. All contacts are synced to your gmail account and apps too, not to mention syncing apps with Appbrain.

Most importantly, go with the phone YOU want...not what anyone else thinks you should do. Both are great phones & you can't go wrong with either one.

Could it have been from advanced task killer beta? I took it off and it hasn't done it since. I am still new to android...I can work a bberry inside and out but these are different.!

Yes, it probably was from ATK. Good call on uninstalling it...make sure to keep it off because those task killers are not necessary & end up causing problems if not propery configurated.

What was probably happening was it was automatically killing an android process that NEEDED to run in the background and your problems were popping up because of it shutting them down.

There are threads all over these forums under every phone & carrier of people having problems that were all cleared up simply when they uninstalled ATK and rebooted.

Nice...is there any threads that you know of that describe which processes are ok to stop manually and which ones need to be running to keep the phone running correctly. And does turning it off then back on restart the necessary ones?

That is the best overall article I found quickly, you may find more by searching 'task killer' in the search option above.

I would actually advise against EVER reinstalling it. The Android system does a better job regulating itself than any task killer does regulating for it. Task killers also need to run in the background so it kind of defeats the purpose of using it to kill something that may be running in the background.

I'd just let your phone run and not worry about what processes it has launched. It does an amazing job of managing everything in the background. If you notice some problems later, you can always dig into what's going on. The OS is nothing like you bb where you always had to worry about what you left running.
