First, battery life is a joke on these. Phones.
I have a dumb question. I have downloaded task killer. I dont understand what all the Motorola blur stuff is. All I want is to be able to txt, phone, and use my browser usually on wifi.
How much of all that blur crap can I kill?
My phone is a milestone x, if that matters. I have a gg 3500 extended battery thats 4 or so months old and it isnt holding a charge like it did (I have less apps than a I used to and that isn't it. It is just bitingthe dust. Same use if not less) All I want is to be able to have a long days charge. You would think that wouldnt be too much to ask. I dont use the browser much but would like to for a short time every now and then... if not ok.

Im inbad health and need to be able to depend on my phone for a days time. They cant tell me they cant make a battery that will last a day for this amt of time. I may go back to an LG Force or something I can depend on. My wife lugged this POS in. I could do almost everything with the force this one does, had better reception and not bad internet.the battery would last for a couple to a few days.


Anyway how much blur can I kill and do what I said?


ThankYou!

 

Actually what I was talking about is the blur stuff that is on the list of things running in the background. I wasnt very clear. There are numerous things running in the background that I don’t know if I can kill or not.

 

Then there are things like cloud to device messenger.

To be clear about the blur things... I had downloaded ATK (which I uninstalled) and there were a bunch of things running that were on the list that jad to do with blur.

I can see the smartphone is smarterthan I am.

 

Thanks for the reply..

One thing I would guess is hurting my battery life is the fact my phone always has a low signal. I live in a rural area and that probably has something to do with it

I would be very very happy with 14 hrs. I certainly dont get that.

I would go to airplane mode but need the phone andtxt. Like now I have one bar. Seldom ever get 3g. Dropcall continuously. I never am in a strong service area so don

 

I don't know a thing about the Nexus line..

I have a Milestone X so rooting is iffy at best at this point. I'd try it if I thought I could do it with no and I mean NO problems. I am very adept at PCs but am green as can be with the smartphone.

 

Not sure what you mean the same. I downloaded it then uninstalled it...

I had 5-6 things I could stop running. Didnt say a thing about what Im talking about...ie. amazon mp3, youtube, few other things. I only half a dozen apps downloaded

 

Guess I gots whut I gots.

Not with verizon by the way. I am with Bluegrass Cellular, the ones who debuted the Milestone X

 

ATT is finishing up a tower install not 1/2 mile from me. Would be better at home. Would still be useless in the county. If you don't have Bluegrass here.....forget it.

 

Shoulda stayed with a regular phone with extended battery. Could do a lot better.

 

Its basically a monopoly. None of the major carriers work in the area. They know it. They don't care. Its either yhem or nothing.....

 

I could find someone to complain to.

 

Ive always been told that.. never been in town long enuff to compare...yes, I am a hillbilly.
