These are actually Lithium Ion batteries

How to hard reset:

• 1. Turn the phone's power off. Take the battery out from the device, wait a couple of seconds and reinsert it back again.
• 2. Gently, Press and Hold the Volume Down button
• 3. Then also press and hold the Power button until the device turns on
• 4. A menu will then appear like: Fastbook, Recovery, Clear Storage, and Simlock
• 5. Just select Clear Storage by pressing the Volume Down button
• 6. Then press and release the Power button
• 7. Select Volume Up if YES and Volume Down for NO

fyi for #4 (for those that dont know)....this is the bootloader screen, those that will root should get familiar.

Yeah I realized that. I meant to say LiOn. Oops. Still sticking to my frequent top offs though.

This phone actually has a sort of built in task killer. If you drop your notification window down, click quick settings and then total memory, you can refresh then kill all.

I wonder this too. If the phone OS is doing it's job correctly, it shuts down these things automatically.

Well, I am no expert so of course I can be wrong... but "topping off" has NOT worked at all for the 2 evo 4g's we have. Now, letting it drain out under usage has resulted in extended usage (more than a day). So far, the 3D is doing just as well (even if it's only been used for less than a week at this point). In the end, only one way to find out! Cheers

Just figured out you can send a text by pressing the camera button
