and on the other hand some widgets/apps that r sucking the battery empty...

i dont realy have that many apps i got rid of alot of them and the battery is getting sucked with me doing nothin should i reset the phone or what?

 

[RinTinTigger]

Hey,

please goto Settings > SDcard and Memory
and tell me the lowest number of free space (internal memory)

What exact widgets do you use?

Have you GPS turned on all time? Wifi? BlueTooth? Screenbrightness? Timeout?

Tigger

 

[mudkipz12]

the available space is 120MB nothing is allways on and i dont use widgets

Do a factory reset of your phone. If it still is doing it even before you install any extra apps, then clearly something is wrong. I'm 99% sure you just have an app installed with a memory leak or something. Post back after you've done that.

ok did that made it like new but lost all my contacs any way to get those back?

 

[RinTinTigger]

They should be in your google account

 

[mudkipz12]

[RinTinTigger]

Just set up the google mail account on the droid

Once you activate your phone and signed into your google account they should automatically sync back up. This will only happen if you enabled syncing with your google account and if you actually have contacts in your google account. Is that what you did before, because I know some people prefer not to sync up with google for privacy issues. If that is that case I hope you backed up your contacts!

for the future always go to contacts , hit menu , then export, then export to sd card, this will save them as a CSV file which can be moved to your home computer or whatever, then after re-doing the phone same process just import them back and done in a few moments.
bad news they may all be gone now if not saved as a google contact
