my dad has droid 2
he said he has something running called "droid fuel", which has a yellow triangle with a lightning bolt in the status bar. whenever he selects it a screen opens that allows him to manage all apps, turn on or off. but when he does use it to manage an app like various things start running, his internet will repeat all his browsing history, basically his phone gets overloaded and locks up and he has to take battery out.

ive searched for "droid fuel" and ofc only get fuel price apps.

wtf did he do? i told him just to go to a store and have them look at shit, though they will probably blow him off cuz he didnt get it at that store :donno:

sigh

a better solution

boot the phone in safe mode by holding the menu key while it turns on

then uninstall the app

i suggest you try safe mode first

factory reset will wipe the phone completely and that is always a hassle

its also likely that the store will do nothing but tell him to call tech support
