Droid 2 Global question

Ive had my Droid Global for about 2 months now and my phone will stop receiving text and calls every once in awhile till i restart it then everything flows in except for missed calls. Could this have anything to do with the mode I have my battery on? I always have my battery on maximum battery saver. So I thought that maybe I quit receiving text/calls because of that mode. Could that be the case? Thanks!

Could be...

 try using the other modes... and see your results.

MAX batterysaver has the least amount of updates.

Night time saver is adequate for most , it checks the mail every hour or so.

While performance will be querying your mail every 15minuets.

You can always try...

Personally I use the performance mode because I need to me notified 24/7 from my contacts.

When I'm not working, then i use the custom battery saver mode to save my battery.

Stand by time on Performance mode last me about 20hours while Night-time saver last me almost 26-32 hours.

Havent tried the MAX Mode yet.

knock on wood...

Nothing yet.

the problems ive been having is mostly migration problems.

My Droid2 is replacing a BB and A Sidekick.

I'm currently on a learing curve, So I'm no expert so to say.

I miss my SideKick it was so easy. This touch screen is is driving me bonkers.

and one more thing.. Under applications and running applications you see things like skype mobile running and a bunch of programs that im pretty sure im not using running, personally do you stop them from running or do you let everything run?

 So far I let everything run. I wasn't aware of those apps running.

 I would assume letting those apps run may be consuming battery life. 

 Maybe some one would chime in and let us know what would be the advantage and disadvantage of stopping those apps that we dont use.

 

 Hows about it out there! Any choices on stopping apps that we don't use  like SKYPE or Global unplug service, and other stuff?

Listed below are steps to stop running services you are not using. You are unable to uninstall applications that are preinstalled on the phone but can stop the ones that are not being used.You can also install Advanced Task Killer via the app market, which kills apps running in the background.

 

 

 

  • From the home screen, touch the applications tab (located at the bottom of the display).

  • Touch Settings.

  • Touch Applications.

  • Touch Running services.

  • Touch a service.

  • Touch Stop.

Okay, that helps, but it still dosent say which apps that we can safely stop without craching the phone.
