Battery pull

[dangell26]

Hello, I was wondering if it is necessary to regularilly do battery pulls on my Droid like I had to do on my Blackberry.

Not at all. If you need to do daily battery pulls with the droid it's time to take it back and exchange it for one that works correctly.

I havent had a need to do one yet and I've had it for a week. So far I am very happy with this phone. I have become an android addict. That's not too suprising seeing is i'm coming from a Storm 1

If you find the phone starting to lag a little bit you can power it off and back on again and that will usually solve the issue. I tend to do this once a week just out of habit now. I won't say that a battery pull is never necessary but it shouldn't be something that is the norm for your phone like the blackberry.

I pull my battery once a week but that's because I rotate batteries and always have a "hot" spare in case I need it. Prior to getting a (cheap) backup battery, there were probably a half dozen times over the course of four months when I found I had to pull the battery. As another poster noted, if you find it necessary to pull your battery frequently there is either something wrong with your hardware or your software. A factory reset would be my first step; a trip to the Verizon store would be my second if I still had problems.

You only really need a battery pull when you purposely overload your phone, and even then most of the times the droid can take it

I know people have had issues on here that a battery pull solved but those issues are few and far between.

A battery pull hasn't really solved my problems but it helps when there's something wrong with root
