So 2 things related to the incredible as i've recently found on my eris. I uninstalled the YouMail app and swapped batteries in my phone with a fresh one. 1 work day later not using the phone i am at 95% left in my battery where with the youmail app i'd be at 10% or battery would be shot. leads me to my next complaint, why did it show that youmail wasn't running since in the "manage applications" part i couldn't force close it(box was grayed out).
here is my gripe, if the incredible suffers from the same android problems of multitasking that my eris does then i certainly don't want one.
one thing that apple at least did right in not allowing multitasking ensures that you don't have background applications eating up your memory and battery. also if i force stop(apple's version of force close) an app, it doesn't restart until i open it again.
google has a lot of work on android and all these things are ones that should have been worked out in development process. now i don't mind FC'ing an app to make sure it won't stay running in the background if i don't need it but if i FC it then i want it to stay stopped until i start it up again.
the droid doesn't seem to have this problem but the eris does which makes me nervous about it since it may be related to something HTC put in the firmware? do they have any influence or say what goes in the firmware or is it all Google or does HTC actually receive the firmware and make tweaks so it runs ok or what?
