Stopping the Verizon VCAST Video Auto-play (Windows PC)
If you plug your DROID into a Windows PC, you might see your web browser pop up
and start automatically playing a Verizon VCAST promotional video. If your computer
speaker volume is turned up relatively high, you might be really surprised by this video.
It can get quite loud!
Fortunately, there is a way to turn off the auto-play feature of this video:
1.
Right-click the Motorola icon in your Windows tray, as shown in Figure 1–4.
2.
Select
When phone connects, launch.
3.
Select Nothing .
First, right-click

What Drains the Battery the Fastest?
The main drains on your DROID battery are the large touch-screen display and the
wireless radios (cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth). As long as you know this, you can
increase your battery life – we will show you some cool battery extending tips in the next
section. But the short version is this: you want to keep the screen dimmer and turn it off
(
Sleep mode) as soon as you don’t need it. You also want to keep your radio usage
down or limit it to those times when you need it. For example, if you don’t need your
GPS location enabled, then turn it off. If you don’t need to use your device for 15
minutes, then you can have the data updates turned off automatically. We will show you
how to do this with the
Battery Manager feature in the “Using the Battery Manager”
section.
