You don't need the Task Killer app. Most apps close when you press back out of them, and the only think the task killer will do is screw around with your phone settings.
Either you somehow got a virus from downloading an app or there's something wrong with you phone's antenna, causing the slow load times for the internet and text messages. I've never heard of it taking two minutes to open a text...it's most likely a hardware problem with the antenna. |

Flash to me is a bust on Android. I don't have any use for it.
- Verizon's 3G is too slow to stream any kind of live video (sports, news, etc.)
- Flash games don't work with a touchscreen
- Any streaming music I can find with an app and those usually run better
I don't think it adds anything to the Android internet experience, except making browsers lag more because they load more ads now. |

The Droid Inc's external speaker sucks bad but I've had no problems with the audio quality through the headphone jack. It's pretty decent. |

I really wouldn't bank on a Verizon iPhone in January. I'm certain that it's not going to happen. |

This thread is great. I have problems getting XiaaLive to work correctly- it'll blast music into my office instead my headphones. I'll download the new app.
I love my droid, but it's a battery hog. And I'm a heavy internet user. What's the point of having unlimited internet when I only get 2-3 hours of internet on a full charge. I need to find ways to maximize battery life. I carry my charger everywhere- I know iPhones have charger that doesn't require an outlet. Does the Android have one too? |

You can try buying an extended battery from a company like Seidio. Those will give you more juice out of one charge and then you can carry around your current battery in your wallet like a credit card and swap it in when the other one runs out.
They also sell car chargers as well as portable " power cells" where you can plug your phone in and it'll charge. Some guys I saw over the summer had these power cells hooked onto their belts and they were charging their phones while they walked around the city.
For extra battery life try lowering your phone's brightness and go into the internet settings and turn plugins off (it disables flash). If you don't use your GPS or WiFi, turn those off too. If you're a frequent subway traveler, put a widget on your phone to toggle airplane mode on and off (airplane mode kills all the phone's voice/data service so you don't waste battery life while the phone searches for mobile networks that aren't there in subway tunnels). |
