Looking for easy way to find WiFi ON/OFF switch

You don't have to turn on Wifi to surf the web......though it will typically be faster than the 3G data service.

There should be an icon in your app drawer that looks like a yellow gear that is labeled quick settings. I keep it on my home page. Click on the icon and you will get a list of things you can turn on and off. It also tells you the battery % and has a flashlight button in there

Also make sure you have enough room. It takes up 1 whole row of space.

It amazes me how many people don't know about the power control widget and look to download an apps for it instead.

My business partner just saw it on my phone yesterday and asked where I got it from. We got our Droids on opening day back in November!

Its a free app in the marketplace on your Droid. I just installed it and love it!

For some reason, I tried to load that widget and it says desktop full (which isn't) so I went this way.

You have to have a complete 1 X 4 spot free... How many icons do you have on the screen right now?? I personally have the widget set up on the screen scrolling to the left at the top... and still have room for 3 rows of icons...

Thanks!

Thanks! After I posted, I did a bit more reading to find out that I did need a full empty row. Once I opened up a row, it installed fine. I hope the new release adds more home pages, as I now am out of room. BTW, what is the icon that looks like a refresh icon on the widget (next to last on right of widget)?

Thanks!

Have you used the Market? It's in the Market. Not sure what you found on the web but that's not how apps are accessed for your phone.

It is the sync button... with this enabled it means that everything you have set up to auto-sync will continue to sync... ie facebook, gmail, google calandar...
