How often do you turn off your Droid

Just curious how often people turn it off and turn it back on.. reset it.. I found out that doing it once maybe twice a day gets rid of alot of FC's and keeps it running nice and fast ... even after I make it multi task like champ..

I restart mine at least once a day, sometimes more, when it gets slow. And it also depends on my usage. But I think most importantly, you have to consider what apps you have downloaded. There's some questionable stuff out there.
 
Verizon tech support guy insisted that powering the phone off effectively does nothing and that a battery pull is the only way to do a proper "reset". Said when you power it off, it's actually just in a sleep mode. I bit my tongue and just told him, "uhhh, okay...".
 
Once a week, twice a week max. Usually because the GPS can't find my location, although turning off/on helps this only occasionally. Have never done a battery pull since I got the phone on 11/30/09.
 
i dont turn mine off cause there is no need, its a linux machine in a way, the memory is allocated correctly to where a reboot just isnt needed, unless the battery dies. i dont reboot my computer unless the power goes off and makes it, other than that it runs for days, turning it off for me does nothing, im having no problems.
 
Every couple of days when I have to change my battery because my battery died and I want to use my phone. But I think it's over use and not battery.
 
I turn it off at night when I go to sleep. I'm just one of those people that doesn't like wasting an ounce of battery if I can help it. :)
 
MAYBE. (Maybe!!!) I have rebooted maybe once a week or two and for NO specific purpose, just do. Droid since before Thanksgiving.
