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..

I restart mine at least once a day, sometimes more, when it gets slow. And it also depends on my usage. But I think most importantly, you have to consider what apps you have downloaded. There's some questionable stuff out there.

Verizon tech support guy insisted that powering the phone off effectively does nothing and that a battery pull is the only way to do a proper "reset". Said when you power it off, it's actually just in a sleep mode. I bit my tongue and just told him, "uhhh, okay...".

Once a week, twice a week max. Usually because the GPS can't find my location, although turning off/on helps this only occasionally. Have never done a battery pull since I got the phone on 11/30/09.

Never. If it lags I just kill all running tasks and that solves it.

i dont turn mine off cause there is no need, its a linux machine in a way, the memory is allocated correctly to where a reboot just isnt needed, unless the battery dies. i dont reboot my computer unless the power goes off and makes it, other than that it runs for days, turning it off for me does nothing, im having no problems.

What lies, there is no off setting.

Every couple of days when I have to change my battery because my battery died and I want to use my phone. But I think it's over use and not battery.

I try to do a power cylce each day. Sometimes I forget to do so though.

I turn it off at night when I go to sleep. I'm just one of those people that doesn't like wasting an ounce of battery if I can help it.

whenever that damn Home++ crashes or something freezes up my phone which is luckily not too often.

MAYBE. (Maybe!!!) I have rebooted maybe once a week or two and for NO specific purpose, just do. Droid since before Thanksgiving.
