Some of the reviews I have read talk about a Power Control widget which will allow you to set things like backlight, gps on/off, wifi on/off, etc to save battery power, but I can't seem to find it. I do see one that says Settings. Is that it or I am just a dunce?

I found it. From the Home screen, hit the Menu "button", then hit Add, then Widgets. Not as cool as I thought it would be though.

Correct its Menu > Add > Widgets > Power Control

I use it all the time.

It saves 3-4 button clicks for most settings.

Trust me -- the more you use it the more you learn to like it.

Ahh, figured it out. You click and drag it to the slider bar at the bottom which becomes a trash can while u are dragging stuff around.

Even the little fold up "Getting Started" that comes with the phone recommends using one.

This looks like it or an equivalent is going to be a MUST have on this bad boy if you like to have all the bells and whistles ( gps etc ) running which is the point of having a bad ass phone like the droid. :hail:

I had mine fully charged and put it on my night stand for bed, got up this morning and it was down to 15%...:icon_eek: So gonna need to shut down the goodies overnight at least.

I like the fact that the members of this forum aren't harsh and tell the newbs to "go read the faqs" like so many other forums I am on....

although sometimes..... nah...it's alot nicer :)

depending on which widget you are trying to put on, it takes a whole row of free space or more.

eg. if you have the power widget, pandora and facebook widget that is the most you can have on that page.
