    Android market updates EVERY NIGHT - how to make less frequent?

    Here's what I don't want: turning off automatic notifications, then never manually doing them and running old software. But at the same time, the daily downloads in the AM are terribly annoying. Is there a middle ground? Can you set the Android Market to update, say, once a week?

    Help Should I root my DX? I need some advice.

    Here's the deal: I like my DX. But I find it to be kind of laggy. I love the customizations (e.g. better keyboards) but want a more polished finish like iOS. I hate how my DX requires so much up keep. Memory starts to get low and it requires my phone be reboot every few days and I often have to...

    Accessories Headphone for Droid X WITH volume and mic control?

    Why are there no products like this for Android, specifically the DX, but a million for the iPhone? I want to play music. I want to control volume. And I want a mic. Is this too much to ask for? Has anyone found one that works? How can such a big OS have such a whole in the market?

    Help Some applications take 5-10 seconds to load. WHY?

    Why does it take a substantially long time for some of my applications to open? Once I open them, they are quick and responsive. Usually after some time, they go back to being slow. I have plenty of memory and space. I also have aggressive battery killing on here, so I imagine that some of...

    Help DX Wifi and 3G question - help!

    I have read that wifi actually uses less battery than 3G. So when I am on wifi, do I need to manually shut off the cell service option? Or when it's on wifi, does it automatically stop receiving 3G signals. Essentially: do I need to manually shut down 3G if I am on wifi with the purpose of...

    Anyone having problems with clock widgets not telling right time post 2.3 upgrade?

    Anyone know what I can do? I re-installed the widget but it does not work. When I lock the phone then unlock, the time comes up right. But if I were to sit my phone out for an hour, the clock widget's time and the actual time would not be in sync.

    Love my Droid X. Love how I can customize the phone. So many positives with its integration with Google. Hate, hate, hate, how much up keep my phone requires.

    Help Can someone in clear language explain what OFF PEAK hours are?

    I see this setting on my phone and plenty of posts in the forum. But no one clearly explains what the hell this is. So if I set my off peak hours from 2am to 7am, does that mean it won't load my email? Or just every x minutes?

    Help Does Launcher Pro help battery/memory or remove BLUR?

    I don't use a SINGLE Motorola widget. Should I start using Launcher Pro? Would this prevent BLUR apps like social networking and such from launching? What is the advantage of Launcher Pro outside of the aesthetics and perhaps ease of use compared to the out of the box DX?

    How does music play affect DX battery?

    Using the extended BH6 battery, too. My friend's iPhone barely loses any battery when playing music. It's almost a non-issue. Curious if this is the same for my Droid X?

    Help Free RAM on my Droid X with 2.3 and Task Killers with 2.3

    Hi all, Upgraded to 2.3 but noticed I only have ~50 MB of RAM free, normally. I can up this, but no matter what I do, programs pop on and this seems to slow the phone. Is 50 MB considered enough? What can I do to free up more RAM? It's infuriating that the phone has so little RAM. Also...
