This post may go a little long since I will be detailed. I will probably ask a question at the end that's very simply answered and everything I put is pointless. Since I am still pretty much and Android neophyte I think I should be detailed.
Okay, I will not be bitching and moaning about my TB, but I do have an issue that is annoying and rapidly approaching making me mad at my much loved phone.
Over the past month my TB has been acting more and more odd. I frequently get the 'application has force closed' when I open up my emails, it still opens fine. Two of my emails sync basically whenever the hell they want. Sometimes it's every hour (like set) or it's 5 minutes to 12 hours. The top bar notifications sometimes leave after accessing or maybe a couple hours later. The number on the app goes away right away.
I've been having the occasional screen not changing when I get a call. It will ring and the screen stays the same, or goes black, but has the answer button visible.
Frequently (3 out or 5 times) when I unlock the phone it goes straight into the news app, even though I haven't used it an a day.
Those are really not that bothersome coupled with the two annoying things, it adds up.
The big ones.
The really annoying one. I am getting a few times a week a power off. Not a reboot, that only has happened 3 times, twice pre-OTA and once after. The phone just shuts down, it starts right back up when I power on again. I bought a cheapie alarm clock because I did miss my alarm one day because it turn off.
Now this one may have been my fault. Sometimes I have terrible battery life. Normally I could go pretty much all day with medium use then charge. Last night I took the phone off the charger at 8pm and at 12:30 am it was down from 93% to 47% with no use, just sitting on my desk. I always turn off that p______start_____ whatever that's tied into the Blockbuster app. It just seems odd that I went ages with great battery life and now it can be so much of a crap shoot. Could I have maybe made something that's power hungry not show up when I check to see what's running? One day stellar and the next terrible without doing anything too different.
So if you read all that here's my question. I think maybe I need to reset the phone, unless there are any other solutions out there. What do I need to do to back up all my stuff (like precious stars) that aren't on the SD card?
Also I swear this all started when I added 5 or six apps and updated around 10 on about half an hour. Could that have confused things?
Thanks.
