New DROID user

[BillW]

The organization just provided me a new DROID Pro and I'm interested to hear what other users of the device have to say about it, and what issues they're having as well. Me, I like the device. However, the battery life is something that leaves me perplexed because it's not lasting long at all. Even after installing app killer and battery life extender.
Any suggestions, ideas or recommendations would be beneficial.
Thanks,
Bill

Welcome to D/F - a good suggestion would be to uninstall those app killers and let the O/S handle it -

TP, I installed it after experiencing the battery issues the day before, and it seems that it is a problem, with or without the app killer.
I'm game to try to run without them again.

There is a great article/video around here about task killers by Google Developers - hopefully someone can link you to it as it explains a lot

In the mean time. Conserve your usage. If you're not using gps turn it off. Use autobrightness. If there is an extended amount of time that you're not using the phone. Turn off sync.
