Just curious how often people turn it off and turn it back on.. reset it.. I found out that doing it once maybe twice a day gets rid of alot of FC's and keeps it running nice and fast ... even after I make it multi task like champ..

As soon as I feel the phone getting slow. I rarely ever get a FC, so as soon as I get one I will also do a power cycle.

i turn mine off once every few weeks. It usually ends up completely freezing, and i have no choice but to take the battery out to reset it. Annoying.

lately I have been haveing to do it atleast 1 or twice every 2 days, the latest round of updates from handcent, dolphine, and a couple other essential programs have caused this but after a battery pull all is well again till the next update that is.

I turn it off and remove the battery whenever it starts acting glitchy... it varies, sometimes I might do it a few days in a row, sometimes I might go a week or two without any problems.

You guys must not being doing anything cool to your phone then. *yawn*
If you ain't pulling the battery once-in-awhile, you ain't trying to break it!

some of us end users rely on the droid to keep us up to date on our work. Droid does tell me about my servers, and if I let a server stay down I stop gettin the pay check.
So, it would be stupid of me to screw with my phone too much.
So call me an end user if you like, I have to err on the side of relibility here.

I perform a soft boot about once every 2 weeks or when it begins to slow down a lot, whichever comes first.

I run home++ and I believe that effects my phone's "glitchiness" if you will. I have to reset/battery pull every few days. I may go a week without a reset, then have to battery pull a couple days in a row. The replacement home screen is WELL worth it though.

Same here. I was listening to the music player yesterday and the music just stopped. The phone had rebooted. Today I wake up to a dead battery. Home++ like to FC every once and a while too.

How long are you planning to keep this phone??? It'll take YEARS before you wear it out.
