Love how this was tossed out there as an afterthought. Huge, obnoxious deal-breaker. I love losing state every 2 days! /sarcasm
- evilmushroom 16y agoI blame motoblur lol. The only time I've rebooted my nexus one has been for updates.
- jokermatt999 16y agoIt's odd, because that hasn't been my experience with Android at all. I've got a Droid (not X, not 2, just the original), and the only times I've never needed to shut it down. In fact, the only times it's been off have been from me forgetting to charge it. Last I checked, my uptime was 550+ hours with no sluggishness at all.
- jsz0 16y agoI get pretty bad lag (contacts, dial pad especially) on my Eris after a few days. Advanced Task Killer clears it up though. I feel like HTC Sense users get a lower quality experience in general. Poorer performance, cruddy built-in apps replacing the better stock apps, widget overload by default, too many bundled applications, etc.
- kyleslattery 16y agoWith my Droid, I regularly have to reboot to get GPS to work, and I've had the issue on all 3 of the Droids I've had (replaced due to other issues).
- jokermatt999 16y agoHave you tried just toggling the GPS settings? I occasionally have issues with it, but toggling the setting has always worked for me.
- kyleslattery 16y agoYes, that sometimes works, but there are a lot of times where I need to do a restart of the phone too.
- elblanco 16y agoI don't think I've ever rebooted my Incredible.
- generalk 16y agoDon't know if this is specific to the Droid X. My Nexus One doesn't need rebooting ever. The last time I can remember rebooting it was when I forgot to charge it overnight and it died.
- theBobMcCormick 16y agoMaybe it's a MotoBlur specific or Droid X specific problem? If I recall correctly, my Nexus One rebooted when it got the 2.1 update1 and when it got the 2.2 update. Other than that, I think the only times it's ever rebooted is, like you, when I've forgotten to charge it and let the battery die. :-)
- dannyr 16y agoI have Nexus One and I never had the need to reboot unless I'm upgrading the OS.
- astine 16y agoI think that it depends on the state that you are losing. All the state worth keeping on my phone is saved to disk (sd card actually,) so it wouldn't matter if it were rebooted. The only problem would be that I wouldn't be able to use it while it was booting.
- yoden 16y agoYep, android has always been similar to how iOS 4 works. To do multitasking on a mobile right, you need to save state when you get backgrounded anyway... so rebooting the phone basically loses you nothing. That being said, the only time I reboot my phone is when Pandora hangs itself into an unrecoverable state (100% pandora's fault). Still better than the iOS pandora player though.
- andybak 16y agoWhat state would you lose exactly?
- zmmmmm 16y agoThis isn't a normal Android user's experience. I have had to reboot my Nexus One a few times when it seemed to be behaving strangely (laggy, screwed up multitouch) - but I'm talking about 3 times in three months.
