  Q: What is a full charge and why does it matter?
  A: Plug in your phone when the battery has about 20% remaining and continue to charge until Battery Doctor tells you the 3rd stage of trickle charging is complete. Do not overcharge by keeping your device plugged in nor undercharge by charging in short bursts whenever convenient.
  Q: How does "Saving Mode" work?
  A: "Saving Mode" is an extreme setting that shuts down all non-essential functions of your phone with exception of making phone calls and sending/receiving text messages. WiFi, Data, GPS, etc will all be shut down to ensure battery life and defend your juice.
  Q: How do I set up the widgets?
  A: The "Task Killer" widget will automatically appear on your home screen with installation. The other widget that monitors WiFi/GPS/etc can be installed just as any other widget on your device would be set up.

  Delete existing widgets and re-add them to show new icons
  The app does _not_:
  - Turn on your wi-fi automatically. It just keeps it enabled if you have turned it on yourself through any other automatic or manual means.
  - do special things to manage turning off wi-fi. There haven't been any reports of wi-fi not turning off when specified so that is left to Android built-in policies
  Explanation for permissions requested:
  Modify Global Settings: To modify wi-fi policy settings
  View WiFi State: To check current wifi state
  Change WiFi State: For a work around that needs to reset your wifi connection on some devices
  Prevent phone from sleeping: Some devices need a partial or full wake lock in order to keep the wifi running
  Full Internet Access: This is again for a workaround that requires pinging your gateway or another address. Without requesting this permission, the pinging

 Trick with Power Button

• Take a Screenshot on Your Android Phone or ... you can take a screenshot of your device by pressing the power button and the volume down button at the same time.

• Turn off phone.. Hold Volume down + Power.. Release Power then a menu will show up , Volume down to choose ... Volume Up to select.. Goto Recovery ... Once you see the Droid laying on its back with door open or whatever.. Hold Volume up ... Press power button then another Menu comes up.. Volume up or down to choose and Power to select.. Choose Wipe Cache.. Hit power to select.. phone will reboot itself automaticly after choosing.. .. Maybe do that when you think the phone is getting "Slower" but I usually just do it once a month maybe alittle longer.. 

•  Volume-Up + Power gives you a hot boot menu

• Volume-down + Power will also reboot phone
