New to Smart phones

Hi, I just purchased my first smart phone on Sunday. I had been considering getting one for a while and was back and forth between the iPhone, Casio G'zone commando and the Motorola Droid Bionic. I went with the Droid Bionic because I just didn't like the way Apple tries to maintain control over the products they sell and while I liked the Commando, the touchscreen and I just didn't get along very well. So far I'm happy with my purchase, but I've been playing with my phone too much. I keep running the battery down by the end of the day, but that might change when the new wears off and I leave it on my desk instead of playing Angry Birds when I should be working.

I'm here to learn some tricks so that I can get more use out of my Droid and hopefully find some good apps taht will be of use.

 

Thanks for the welcome! I've been playing with the settings to see what I can do. I've got Juice Defender (free version) and thinking about upgrading to ultimate, but I kind of want to drain the battery a few times and get into a more "normal" usage situation before I start making a lot of changes. That way I can tell what the actual results are.

I'm not ashamed to admit it, I love destruction and shooting birds at things and knocking them over is a great distraction from the real world:laugh:.

 

I have a question if anyone can answer. I posted in the Bionic forum the other day and haven't gotten an answer yet... Is it possible to shut off the 3G/4G data on the phone when you don't want it to come on? I want to be able to wake my phone up and start up the wifi when I have access to it without it automatically using up 3G/4G data during the time it takes for my phone to connect to the wifi. I'm sure there's a way to do this, but I haven't been able to figure it out yet. Thanks!
