my galaxy s comes with a task killer on it. but from what ive been told it does use more battery to kill the tasks all the time. i just make sure i always close an app properly when im done with it.

now i think about it i put a task killer on my girls phone and when i used it i notice 90% of the apps were background apps and would restart seconds after i killed it. she just leaves it alone now

Good read. I don't recommend task killers.

Thats one of the things I hate about droid phones, you cant uninstall or permanently stop useless and worthless apps. Imma try juice defender tho...

Need to root your phone if possible.

Caught Black Handed! Google Chairman Eric Schmidt photographed while taking a photo with his BlackBerry (again!)

While Google's mobile operating system may have consumer market momentum with Android handset activations hitting 500,000 per day, one person who appears to not be in a rush to abandon his BlackBerry habit is Google Chairman Eric Schmidt. Schmidt was in Indonesia last week for an entrepreneurship summit, and one of our CrackBerry spies on the ground in Bali managed to catch Schmidt black-handed snapping a photo on his BlackBerry Bold 9780.

What's really funny about this photo is that it isn't the first time Schmidt has been photographed while taking a photo on his BlackBerry. Back in July 2009 he got caught using his Curve 8900 (see photo below). Past precedent is always the best indicator of future performance, so I'm placing my bet we'll see Schmidt upgrading to the BlackBerry Bold 9900 next month. I'm not sure what this says about Android, but it definitely says a lot of good for BlackBerry. Maybe it's the keyboard, maybe it's the world class security, the BBM, the battery life or impossible to ignore blinking red light... or maybe it's all that and more.

There's nothing really "new" in that Bold that can be justified as testing out the competition, so at the end of the day I'm thinking that Eric Schmidt just loves his BlackBerry. Smart man. Kind of makes you wonder if he also has a BlackBerry PlayBook running Android apps?

I've never had an issue with chrome.

 

[Likwid]

and what does it have to do with anything, the firefox browser on android sucks asshole

 

[fillyacup]

whats the best browser then?

 

[Likwid]

I used to fuck with firefox, but I like chrome better. It's lighter, and just works well.

 

[Speedy]

Flash on chrome is always crashing I actually think Opera is the best browser.

True but if they have hands on the hardware I think things could be better. All I know is that phone looks sick.
