Rebooting on Droid X

I generally find that I have to reboot my DX less than my old D2 and original Droid. But I'm noticing that after being up for 12 -24 hours, bluetooth won't turn on and search on youtube doesn't work and less frequently, the browser will not search for webpages after 12 -24 hours. Is this typical? I was rebooting it every week to two weeks, now I'm doing it every couple of days. Some days the phone functions fine, others I have to reboot in the morning. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

I've found that clearing the browser cache keeps it running smoothly. There are a couple of apps like Tube Mate (a downloading app for YouTube) and Pandora that sometimes act up and can only be fixed with a reboot.

Have found wifi sometimes having issues, but that is solved by rebooting my router.

All in all, I have gotten into the habit of manually rebooting my phone every four or five days just to keep it running optimally. The battery monitor app I use showed my phone at 123 hours since my last reboot today before I manually rebooted it.

I am sure there are other tips to keep your phone running smooth and others will offer ideas.

I've owned my Droid X since day after release on 7/16/2010. Since then I'd say I've had to reboot my phone less than 30 times, and they were all due to faulty apps which I removed then battery pull reset.

I have to pull my battery every couple of days or else my POP emails will not come in. I have no extra apps installed and clear my cache constantly. I have recreated my email accounts several times, does not help. With my BB Curve I never had this problem and never pulled my battery in 2 years. I like the Droid X, except it is worthless for email other than Gmail.
