Quick Boot Usefullness for Edge

ATFmac · 10-08-2011, 01:51 AM

Hi, I was curious of other users experience with Quick Boot. I came across a top 8 android app list, and read about it. Besides the easy reboot feature, does it have any more use to non-expert Edge users?

8 Top App Page

4share Quick Boot Link I found.

Thanks for the input.

I don't use and even don't have any of them.
Besides, ROM Manager is going to brick these devices.
For all backups and system work I use Android SDK, I prefer a big (huge) screen, GUI,...
I don't reboot my device for weeks.

no, the recovery and bootloader options will do nothing at best, and could damage or brick the Edge at worst.

not sure what the lifetime of the hardware power switch is (I think someone may have already had problems with it glitching? or maybe that was the reset switch) - but if you know you are going to reboot, obviously this saves 2 duty cycles on the power switch (or 1 if you're going to shut down), which is not unattractive.

They'll make vicnic's clone.

In case you really want to reboot just open Terminal Emulator and type reboot.
