Android :: VZW Droid Should Replace Moto Droid

Nov 26, 2010

Jus a little background: I have a launch day Moto Droid. Still love it, but it does have some lag issues that are becoming increasingly annoying. I think the issues are caused by either the fact that I'm rooted running one of the first Froyo releases, the fact that the Swype keyboard isn't really meant for this phone, the dropping of the phone (which also cracked the screen, though that doesn't bother me) or some combination of the above. Regardless of the cause, I'm ready for a new phone.

I've been out of the loop, but since I started back in, I've noticed that Gingerbread is on the verge of being released and one of my biggest concerns is buying a new phone that's already outdated. Whatever phone I get, I want it to be able to handle Gingerbread with no problems.

I'm leaning towards the Droid 2, because I like having a qwerty keyboard plus Swype. Will the Droid 2 be OK with gingerbread? Or, should I wait until phones are released that were designed with gingerbread in mind? How lon 'til such phones will be released?

Android :: Droid X And Droid 2 Phones Locked Down - Replace Moto Droid With

Jul 14, 2010

Seeing as Motorola is locking down the Motorola Droid X and likely the Droid 2, what should I replace my Moto Droid with? I've been totally happy with the phone to the extent that I tell people it's the coolest thing I've ever owned in my entire life... that's 51 years for you youngsters. I'm of course on Verizon and will stay with Verizon. I've paid zero attention to any phones other than the Moto Droids. Alas, lockdown is not acceptable. So now I have to go through the whole learning process all over again.

HTC Aria :: Comparable Phone At&T Replace Moto Droid?

Oct 21, 2010

Some of you may remember when I posted about my cell phone contract being sold to AT&T from Verizon. Well, I am very close now to getting a new "comparable" phone from AT&T to replace my Moto Droid. The new phone that they will most likely be sending me is the HTC Aria. Anybody have any thoughts about this phone? Is it a good phone? Is it comparable to the Moto Droid? To be honest, I plan on switching back to Verizon after all this mess anyway. I am just curious (in the rare event that I might be stuck with the phone) as to whether or not this is a good replacement (even though nothing can replace my droid .... I love it so much).

Motorola Droid :: Moto Droid - Gmail - Contacts

May 15, 2010

Hey Android experts -

First off, First Time poster, and long time lurker.

I am thinking about getting the moto droid, and I heard that you can sign into your gmail account and sync all your contacts, but I have a question.

What if I don't want my Gmail contacts to be syncd with the device, but I want to be able to check my gmail accounts, is that possible?

The reason that I am asking is because I have numerous, like 10s of thousand contacts, and I don't want them all on the phone.

Android :: Moto Droid 1

Aug 17, 2010

My Motorola Droid will turn on, but it will not go to my home. It will just stay on the start up screen (black background with white logo in the center).

Now this didn't happen until i decided i wanted the CyanogenMod on my phone. I used this tutorial: Full Update Guide - Motorola Droid - CyanogenMod Wiki.

So I started with the first step and I installed SPRecovery succesfully using RSDLite, but when it rebooted it wouldn't get to the home screen. Then on RSDLite it said "REBOOT MANUALLY". I waited longer to make sure it wouldn't turn on eventually but it didn't. I finally disconnected it and tried various things... to try and get it back to normal. Did i brick it? also my phone was already rooted.

Motorola Droid :: Partial Touch Screen Failure - Replace The Droid

Aug 12, 2010

So my beloved Droid is finally starting to show her age. Part of the touch screen has failed on the very right side of the screen as can be seen here:

The phone is still fully functional other than this and appears to be one of the better units out there (runs perfectly stably with 1.2ghz ulv kernels, gets great battery life and has a bubbly keyboard).

Having this portion of the touch screen go out does cause a few major problems though:

-Search hardware button no longer works
-Can't use notification blind in landscape view
-Can't hit backspace on portrait on-screen keyboard
-Many software buttons (like the ones in maps) can't be used in portrait

I have already visited my local VZW store and was assured they have replacement Droid 1s in stock.

Motorola Droid :: Droid Lost On Motorcycle - Smashed By Car- Replace

Aug 21, 2010

Took a ride on my motorcycle last night with Droid in clip on case on my pocket. Drove about 1 1/2 miles when I realized it had fallen out of its holder. I back tracked and found nothing. Then my wife and I took my truck and went along the same route-nothing. Then (at this point mainly worrying about all the data in it if someone had picked it up) I walked with a flashlight the whole route while looking off the side of the road-still nothing. This morning I decided to take my bicycle and give it another try. About 1 mile from my house I spotted the rubber protector that surrounds the screen still near the edge of the road. I got off the bike and found the main section in a hedge so I have the battery and sim card. About 30 ft further I found the screen folded over and crushed. So I guess the battery and card might be ok but the rest is trashed. This one is insured by Asurion with an $89. deductible. (I ran over my previous Droid with my riding mower just this last May and I had to pay full price for a new one as it was not insured). I started a claim online with Asurion and the Droids are on backorder according to the site. I did this last night and reported it lost and possibly then stolen. Now at least I have the pieces.Does anyone think I might have a chance to get it replaced at the Verizon store?

Android :: How To Send Tex Message From Moto Droid?

Jun 8, 2010

I id a search, and the results were wide, varied and not to my point, so no I am asking the veterans.I would like to know how to initiate a text message on my Motorola droid. If I click the messaging icon on my home screen it takes me to gmail. if i open my phone and contacts, i get the email address and phone number displayed only, no option to text the desired contact.the only thing i seem to grasp is the call log. from there i can text or call again. seems like i can only text from call log, but if i have no call to tor from them in my log, and i want to text them, i do not know how. is there a good tutorial for texting and contacts? sorry if it seems like a dumb question, i just got my droid a couple hours ago. i am stokes because it was a sweet deal and i am not due to upgrade from my lame omnia for awhile. but i need to know how to text and initiate calls instead of just emailing everyone. the phone is sick sweet though.

Does anyone know of a better VPN app than the stock app for the Moto Droid?

A couple key features that woud make this a great application:
1) Ability to store the password (though not visible)
2) Ability to automatically redial when disconnected.

I hate having to retype my password everytime the network (verizion not work) bumps me off and it is anoying to have the vpn disconnect and not realize it until I haven't gotten any new messages for a while.

Android : Error With Barnacle & Moto Droid

Sep 30, 2010

I had been using Barnacle with my Motorola Droid (upgraded to Froyo), and it connected to my iPad and laptop without any issues.Just tried it the other day, and I get a message stating "Baranacle requires 'su' to access the hardware! Please, make sure you have root access".The phone is obviously rooted (easy root), since I had been using Barnacle before.Any reason why it's not working now? what exactly IS 'su'?

I am on my second defective Droid. My newest one has rebooted more than 10 times in less then 24 hours. I am going to take it back for a replacement again, however I am wondering if Bestbuy got a bad batch and maybe I should get a replacement from the Verizon store. Does anyone know if Verizon will replace it even though I got it at Bestbuy?

Motorola Droid :: Droid Replace TomTom Rider

Nov 10, 2009

I am an avid motorcyclist and lifelong geek.

I am looking for a GPS for my motorcycle but find the TomTom Rider 2($400) and the Garmin Zumo ($600) to be too dumbed down for my taste.

I know I may want a lot in my wish list below, but believe the droid just might have what I need to do it all with one device as opposed to the phone, gps, ipod I am using now.

My thoughts on mounting would be to find a waterproof enclosure similar to below so I can do basic operations with a stylus and the majority of operations from voice commands.

*Negative comments about operating a motorcycle and a GPS will go unanswered. Please trust me that no one wants to ride safer than I do, and I never operate my current GPS while moving.

OK, here we go: Updated answers in RED

Can I use the voice search feature with a bluetooth headset? (even when stopped, searching for an address stinks with gloves on) YES

Does Google Navigation have an option to avoid unpaved roads? (My digiwalker sent me down a logging road once....never again.) NO

Does the Droid do A2DP? Its a delayed connection, needs work, but works.

Can I listen to music and navigation at the same time over bluetooth? Yes, Music is lowered or muted?

If I can, can I receive a call without interrupting navigation and have it mute/pause music? Music is paused, see below

How does Navigation behave when there is an incoming e-mail or Text message? See Vid below, call come to front and hides Nav, but you can hear Nav commands. Txt is icon at top of screen.

Can you create a loop/route with Google Navigation? (Motorcyclists tend to plan out scenic loops, because often riding is for pleasure and not for A to B driving.)Not currently

If so can these routes be shared with other Droids wirelessly? Not currently

Can you share locations wirelessly? (ie. I can share my destination to another person in my address book) Yes, With Latitude

Is there a weather layer for navigation, so I can zoom out to see an incoming storm and route myself around it? No/Not yet...

New Questions:

Can you use voice commands to search for and dial a contact, or voice dialing?

Notes pertaining to Motorcyclists:

-Will need a stylus that works on a capacitive screen through the enclosure.

-Cornering and bumps tends to activate vertical orientation, might need to stabilize/pivot mount.

-So long as you give the Nav time to download the entire route to the finish, GPS will work with now signal. Rerouting does not work outside coverage area.

Android :: Verizon Moto Droid Auto Update To 2.2

Sep 16, 2010

Yesterday my Verizon Motorola droid was automatically updated from Android 2.1 to 2.2. I was informed that it had been done via text message. I was not consulted or warned, only informed after the fact. It does not cause any problem in my app. I used the getSDcardPath (syntax approx) rather than hard-coding /sdcard/data..... and I have not found any other conflicts.

How are Android updates handled on devices? Always done automatically, this instance of auto update was unusual, or what?

If it is always done automatically then we MUST incorporate all accommodations for future changes that are not backwards compatible just to keep our apps running on machines that they were designed to run on. (it is difficult to anticipate all future changes!)

Previous to this automatic update, I was thinking that we should incorporate all accommodations for future changes that are not backwards compatible so the app would run on future Android versions. (this option does not require knowledge of the future.)
