> [@boxxa](#): > > A girl I used to date has a Droid and when she went in to Verizon to have them check her phone for why her battery is dead in 4 hours, their response was install advanced task killer and kill everything after they launch something. :facepalm: I had them tell my that when I first got the phone but I think that was 2.0 or 2.1. I didn’t know they still pushed that. ---

fwiw I deleted ATK but after the 2.3 update for the EVO it is using much more memory and I am actually getting low mem warnings. I reinstalled ATK and that has solved my issues. Really wish I would have rooted instead of taking the OTA. Now I am stuck until somebody finds an exploit. OR until I can get my hands on a nexus S and I will sell the evo. ---

Anyone know how to turn off the roaming? I was down by the water a lot and kept kicking over to the Canada networks. I rather see no service. ---

> [@boardjnky4](#): > > Settings \> Wireless & networks \> Mobile networks > > check box for killing data while roaming at least. Ya that is checked by default. I remeber some old phones you could select HOME only which will only connect to the SIM card’s network and not let it roam. Just being by the water a lot I notice my shit kicks over to RODGERS and would rather have no service then roaming. ---

Want to update my experience with motorola. My atrix ear piece stopped working during phone calls. Motorola gave me a RMA# to send it in since it has a 1 year warranty. Had to sent it to TX, shipped on Monday they got it Friday. Wednesday rolls around I get email that the phone is fixed and will be shipped out. Thursday I get home and phone is at my house. Probably one of the best experiences I have had with a company, extremely professional and very quick turn around with over night shipping. Only cost me shipping to the repair facility. Phone works great. ---

I don’t have phone insurance, ATT just wanted to sell me a new phone. I didn’t push the 1 year warranty even though it seemed like a hardware issue. Besides they kept telling me I rooted the phone and screwed it up even though I never rooted. I just called Motorola and was taken care of right away. ---

Friggin awesome. Well built 7" android tab for $225 (refurbs from B&N on ebay right now)? Yes please. The lack of mic is a little disappointing because that’ll keep you from doing video calling, but otherwise perfect! ---------- Post added at 02:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:57 PM ---------- Granted there’s no camera either… ---
