Motorola Droid :: Another 'Thinking Of Buying Droid' Thread

Jan 22, 2010

i'm sure this has been asked before but, with 2.01 and 2.1 things may have changed and as these are/have *just* come out I felt it was worth asking:I'm looking at either a driod or HD2. Now I really like the HD2 BUT it has the usual HTC BS issues with a buggy frontend and generaly, like all HTC stuff, being excellent in principle but rushed out and becomes major fail. So, this brings me to a Milestone (i'm in the UK).I'm very tempted by this as its similar in form factor to my current Acer M900 - large screen and slide keyboard. But before I do, i'm a little confused by some stuff and was hoping you guys can help me please?

- I'm looking at a Milestone being a UK person, can I use ROM's for a Droid and still retain the multi-touch feature?

- I have read over the past few days that some Droids can auto-reboot. Does this also affect Milestones and have the new 2.01 updates fixed it? Do we know if the 2.1 will defo fix?

- I am a hardcore Office user on my WinMobs, can I get full office functionality on the Droid? I need full outlook sync including tasks. I need to be able to edit Excel and Word and at least look at PowerPoint presentations.

- I also need OneNote or something VERY similar on Android that will sync to my PC as well, can this be done

- I have read that the keyboard can be akward, sadly I have no idea where to try one in the UK so, honestly, is it useable or too cramped

- Battery life - i'd need full push email for 7am to 10pm, can the phone battery handle this

- The HTC HD2 has the usual issue where when locked it will require a reboot to "wake it up" again, does anything like this happen with the Milestone? Its highly embarrasing and VERY frustrating to go to take notes in a meeting only to find I need to reboot before I can....

I know you can only speak from YOUR experience and EVERYONE has a DIFERENT experience, so please, answer from your point of view.Mods, why can't you send a confirmation email to my private address? I have no blocking or junk filters in place (Stuza@stuza.com/Mail2web email service - not too bothered about people knowing it)it appears the forum numbering doesn't work so changed them to "-"

Motorola Droid :: Buying Extra Battery

Nov 3, 2009

Anyone plan on buying another battery? or know if VZM will offer a external battery charger similar to what I have for my palm? I use my cell phone a lot, and I would like to have one battery fully charged at all times in case I run out or am going out for the night. This is a fail proof method I have used on my palm for years.

Motorola Droid X :: Official Droid X Shipping Thread

Jul 27, 2010

I placed my order for a Droid X for me and my wife on Friday at 6pm and I got notification that I will receive them both TODAY.I am pretty excited to get rid of my iPhone 3G and her to get rid of the dreaded Sidekick. I think she might be the last person on Earth with a Sidekick. But this will be our first Android phones and I am sure there will be a learning curve but I am a pretty big computer geek so it should be fun. I am sure I will be asking plenty of questions as well.

Android : Way To Check A Used Droid Phone When Buying?

Aug 22, 2010

I'm almost a noob in this huge world of Androids and cupcakes and Froyos and Eclairs and Gingerbreadman. So what I want to ask is what stuff should I check in the phone when buying it used from another person. I know to check the standard functions like calling, msging, camera, wifi, gprs/edge, gps etc. But I don't know any other thing.

Motorola Droid :: Is There A Thread Dedicated To New ROMS?

Jul 28, 2010

There are so many different roms out there right now. Not only is that confusing for new users. But the fact that there are so many different versions of each ROM that i cant tell which one is the latest version of each. For example. Bugless beasts latest version is 0.4. But their is 1.1, 0.3. Can someone make a thread for all the latest ROMS and when they were released? If there is already one. LINK please.

Motorola Droid :: Is Hardware Keyboard Good Thread

Nov 20, 2009

First of all chaps a big hello to the forum. I have been following the Droid/Milestone since it was but a twinkle in it's Motomothers eye, and for the most part was absolutely more than impressed with it's specs. Lots and lots of pros. very few cons other than the camera and the keyboard.The keyboard, ahh yes, often such a subjective topic. I see it mentioned in threads here and there, a couple of opinions but nothing hugely specific. So I thought I would make a thread DEDICATED to opinions and discussion about the thing and try and figure out once and for all, short of playing with it (hasn't come to my country yet), if it is any use for one such as me.*So, if you can, please answer the following:
*Do you like the hardware keyboard?
*Do you find tactile response and accuracy sufficient?
*Do you find it comfortable with your size hands?
*Do you use it more than the software QWERTY?
*Likes and dislikes about it?
*What other device would you compare it to positively and negatively?
Hopefully we can get enough people answering to build up an idea of common opinion on the thing. I'm looking forward to the Milestone hitting here with it's multi-touch. Hopefully it won't take too long before Sense UI is ported over and then it really will be the ultimate device.

Motorola Droid :: Can Someone Point Me To Factory Reset How To Thread?

Sep 27, 2010

OK, this isnt as stupid of a question as it sounds at first.I know how to actually do a factory reset.My question is, does anyone know where the thread is that explained all the steps in backing up your information (with certain applications) before doing a factory reset? There was a thread here that told you certain applications that will make sure your data was backed up so you can restore it all after the reset.I remember seeing on on this forum a while ago, but after searching a few times, I cant find it.I'm hoping a factory reset will help with my icon lag issue and the general sluggishness of my phone.

Android :: Thread Execution Hiccups On Motorola Droid

Apr 9, 2010

Occasionally I see thread execution hiccups on my Motorola Droid (currently running 2.1 but I saw it with 2.0.1, too). Normally my dummy thread (full tilt, foreground, not doing *anything* else) runs in about 5-6mS. However, I see a second hump around 13-14mS and stragglers anywhere out to 80mS (typically around 35mS, though). What is going on? Why is this scheduling so non-deterministically? What is the solution? I could deal with a couple mS slower if it would get rid of those stragglers that exist the whole way out to 50-80mS..................

Motorola Droid :: Official 2.2 Update Impressions Thread

So I thought to help the madness on the others threads that we could make one with all of the pros and cons we have seen in the new official update to help people see what they should do as far as force it or root and etc.Flash is not included so you have to find it in dumb ways and it is not in the market.No more vibrate and silent modes being separate.

Motorola :: Droid X Encrypted Bootloader And Efuse Thread

Jul 1, 2010

I've updated this OP to make it easier for new comers to find some of the most important posts as well as a few important outside links that inform this thread. It is my personal feeling that if you are reading these forums, and considering buying ANY Android phone, this thread is a very important one to read. It is far better to be informed than to realize after you buy a product that it wasn't what you expected (I almost made this mistake). The main purpose of this thread is to discuss what a signed (encrypted) boot loader is, what the implications of having a signed boot loader are, whether or not the Droid X may have one, why you may care, what you may be able to do about it if you do care, etc, etc. This thread is filled with a lot of long posts (including this one), so prepare yourself for that. Not all of them have tons of merit (mine included) so keep that in mind. Below are some of the most informative posts you'll find in this thread. That said, I highly suggest further reading: there are many great ones that I haven't linked to here.

Motorola Droid :: Stock Messaging - Takes To Main Text Message Window Rather Than Actual Thread To Reply To Person

Sep 8, 2010

Since I got the original 2.2 update for my Droid, whenever I get a new text message and slide down the notification bar and select the new message, it takes me to the main text message window rather than the actual thread to reply to the person. It is really annoying because it requires an extra step. I figured it would be fixed with the second 2.2 update but it didn't. I called Verizon and they called Motorola and nobody knew of the problem so they shipped me out a new phone and it still does it! I am not sure if I am the only one experiencing this or if its normal. It doesn't do it 100% of the time but closer to 90% probably.

Nexus :: Trick N1 Into Thinking Its On WiF Evev Its On 3g?

Apr 10, 2010

On my old iPhone 3gs, once jailbroken you could install an app called VOIPover3g and trick your phone into thinking it was on wifi even if you were only on 3g so you could overcome the restrictions on certain apps like skype (only lets you make calls over wifi) and youtube (better video quality on wifi)

Well, Vonage just came out with a great app for free domestic calls with GREAT call quality, but it only works over WiFi.

How can we trick the N1 into thinking its on WiFi even if its on 3g?
