My battery is running down very quickly - the phone is not really used for voice calls just BBM and facebook ??

How do you reboot without taking out battery. (Control ALt Delete on laptop)

thanks

QuickPull from App World is what I use, no issues.

IMHO, it is still better to remove the battery for 30 seconds or so, reinsert and then let the device reboot.

How much battery life do you get? Facebook is probably the biggest culprit, along with any other apps which might be running in the background. And if you are in a 3G fringe area, that is also a big drain as the device searches in and out of 3G.

thanks Dubdub.

Can we turn the 3g search off or do we need it for facebook ??

Ineed to reset it because I keep getting rogue message notifiers when there are none in any folder !!!

Cheers

The 8900 doesn't have 3G.

left alt + right caps + del

all at the same time

It simulates a battery pull. I've tried quick pull but this works just as well and isnt a third party app that needs to be installed.

sorry to be old and thick but I dont have a Right Caps lock on my 8900 keyboard ???

Right Shift, lower right.

You are correct. I blew right by that one. Thanks for the correction.

Is it possible to see which apps are running? I remember my old Neonode had a own app that showed me what apps that were running and gave me the option of terminating these apps.
