Yes!!!!.   I am having the same problem. It worked fine yesterday but has crashed at least 5 times this morning. I've removed the battery twice and that still won't fix it.  I'm not even multi-tasking, it's crashing when running as low as 1 App. Definitely have to hit the Verizon Store later today.

Is anyone using taskkillers? If you use advanced task killer or something similar and auto kill all open applications, then that's your issue. Android hooks into other applications and those hook into yet others.

 

Task killers are a blessing and a curse. Dont use them blindly!

I've noticed my DROID running much slower today and I'm getting messages that the "inprocess android.process.acore" and is not responding. My guess is that Motorola and Google are broadcasting bug fixes to our phones as we speak and it's slowing down the operating systems.

That process is a core process that runs basically the whole OS. It sometimes gets an error, and it happens rarely.

I think I'm going to make a thread for general problems with Android phones, to help everyone out.

Same thread was posted on the the Motorla Site...Heres a response from a "Moto Expert"

 

"Be sure to update the PRL, frequently or when you travel.   You accomplish this by dialing *228 and entering option 2.    It is not done for you automatically when you get the phone (I don't think).

 

This helps the phone to have an up-to-date map of the cell towers, connecting to nearer ones with less power than **bleep**her ones with more power.  The excessive power drains the battery, overheats the circuits and then the phone shuts down (crashes?).   So this is a possibility.    Anyway ... do the procedure and then if you take it back to Verizon and the guy tells you to do this and come back later, you can say you did.

 

I've had no problem with mine but I did this right out of the box.   It's not a Motorola thing either, it has to do with the CDMA technology on the Verizon network.

 

If it comes to that ... Verizon is really good about replacing defective phones.   I have had cases where I thought that they really (secretly) shouldn't have put up with what I did and they replaced it anyway.  So if the PRL update doesn't work, I'm confident they will replace it.   Also ... a benefit of the google technology is that your new phone will be instantly "back"
