Motorola Droid :: Droid Destined To Fail?
Feb 4, 2010
Can Android survive its forks and fragments? | Molly Rants - CNET News
and wondered what everyone with a Droid thinks about this. I am loving my Droid right now. It truly is like having a computer, gps, phone, and mp3 player all in one portable device. The new OTA update for the N1 doesn't bother me much, I have never missed not having MT on my device. However, I'd hate it if in a year Motorola has released the N2, or similar device, and my Droid still hasn't been updated. I'm just wondering how Apps and updates will be handled when, in the same household, there could be an N1, Droid, and Eris...all with different hardware and software requirements. I'd honestly like the Night Mode in GPS more than MT, btw.

I just changed my google voice number to a google number today from the random number I had before. But now I can't call it from any 216 area code. This creates a problem because my phone is a 216 area code. So I can't call my own voicemail - It just says the number cannot be completed as dialed. When I call from a different area code it's fine. No contact groups or anything are blocked and I can call out. I'm stock and haven't rooted or anything.

Well, that is about the only negative I can think of...... Oh yeah, it does not have a keyboard, either
May be a tad big, but very nice device
One thing that our EVO friends touted, but could not back up (hidef video) IS possible with the X. The 45nm chipset makes a huge difference in regards to heat output. How practical it is would be another story, but still- nice device.
Is the microsd blocked by the battery on the X? I hate that.
added:
Perhaps a better way to word it for the hidef is QUALITY hidef. EVO, like all other devices that use the snapdragon, sux for hidef output, due to the 65nm chipset not handling the heat well.

I'm trying to get a sense of how many people have encountered an issue with their Droid's screen not working, though everything else on the phone is apparently fine. It's happened to me a few times, and the screen won't show any picture, but the touch sensor & haptic feedback are all still working, and the phone has connectivity because it receives messages & calls. The weirdest thing is, it will come back after a period of time & work perfectly as if nothing ever happened.I've see a number of other threads on the forum that indicate a similar problem, so I'm trying to get some sort of sense as to how many people have experienced this. It seems like there's a design flaw in the Droid, because it doesn't seem to be caused by actual hardware damage since the screen will come back on & look perfectly normal.So, if you've experienced this issue please post here, or if you've found a thread on this please post the link.

I had to unbrick my phone after trying to upgrade to 2.2. I used RSD lite as per the instructions on this site to go back to 2.01. I finally was able to force a 2.2 upgrade, but my apps were gone. Is there a way to retore apps, especially paid ones?

Has anybody been able to successfully send a video via text to an iPhone? I have tried six different users (two being mine and my wifes 3gs') and not one successful attempt. I also cannot send text using most of the secondary characters on the number/symbol keyboard, such as the degree symbol. If there are any of the secondary characters, the recipient gets nothing on their end. It's like I never sent it.

I'm upgrading from my Droid 1 to the Droid X tomorrow and would like to start my use of the DX with it's new 32gb card in place of my old 16gb card from my Droid 1 but need to know if there's anything required to copy from my droid 1 16gb card to my new DX 32 gb card that would be required or helpful in the DX use.I will obviously transfer music/vids/pics but are there any essential files, apps, etc. that are needed.Or is it a good idea to use my paid MyBackupPro to copy the old Droid 1 apps/data for use in the DX larger memory card or is this not copatible to perform between the 2 devices?

They are at the final battle. It looks like we might have a fight on our hands since the Palm Pre just got the free hot-spot options from Verizon. March Smart Phone Madness Finals: Motorola Droid vs. Palm Pre Plus
The main points that I like to enjoy is: Droid beat out the phone that beat the iPhone, and the Droid got further in the brackets than any other Android OS phone Some of the progress is due to hardware, some due to following (over the Nexus'), but a lot due to the v2.01 (and now 2.1) version of the Android OS. Also, this poll is open ALL weekend - it does not close until April 5th, so we have tons of time...but then again, so does the Palm Pre. Let's have at 'em!

I have the original droid with 2.1 (still haven't got update) the phone has some problems like, restarting, cant update certain apps, unresponsive. i just got the phone in may 2010 an im starting to think its getting out dated. I once had it rooted to 2.2 but went back to stock for OTA 2.2 . But my question is, that do u think i can call verizon and tell them my problems, say its my 3rd droid and im getting tired of it. Since there not making the oringinal droid anymore do u think they'll let me upgrade to Droid X with little or no fee? i got the idea from another post, reading that someone had success with this trick?

I'm using the Android APIDemo sample code.
When I run the CameraPreview example, at first it was giving me an error.(http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2556389/android-camera-functionality-howto)
I traced that one down and the sample was working for a while.
Now, it no longer works. It says ERROR/AndroidRuntime(2949): java.lang.RuntimeException: Fail to connect to camera service
What can be causing that? It happens when camera.open() is called.

When it comes to smart phones and flashing. I recently got a HTC Evo and had it flashed to be on metro pcs to try and save a little cash on the bill. Well I think I am learning you get what you pay for. I am hoping I can get some tips or tricks from this forum. My phone will not run any apps really. It wont connect to facebook or the app store or google maps and youtube. Basicly all the social apps dont work. However if I connect it to WIFI it will run it them. Is it cause metros data service sucks.

Every time i increase my database version and push the upgraded app to the users, something weird happens.. For some it works perfectly fine, and some report crashes (including through the Market's reporting system) caused by the lack of table columns i just added in onUpgrade.
If you want to see the method:
http://code.google.com/p/tag-todo-list/source/browse/trunk/Donut/src/com/android/todo/data/ToDoDB.java#136
I can't spot any exceptions that appear in onUpgrade. What i'm currently doing to bypass these problems is intercepting the exceptions where the new fields are invoked for the first time and then calling onUpgrade 'manually', which is kind of dirty.
Also, the app sometimes generates a 'no such table' SQLiteException when accessing the main table (again, only for some users) which is incredibly strange... Does someone know why these things happen? Or can you spot something wrong in my code?

Was it meant to fail? Each time I try to upload a pic it tells me to enter an account or make a new one, it jumps from the caption enter page to the new account setup screen...
The regular gallery app is limited to flickr which I don't use, I don't use Picasa either but keeping all else google at least makes it easier to integrate later on... I don't use facebook either... Heaven would be imageshack for me, so what does one do in this dilly of a pickle?

Titanium Backup is acting weird.
Here's the story:
Was on E.E. 3.0. Wanted to try XTR.
Backed up all apps to Titanium backup. Successful.
Made a NAND backup. Successful.
Wiped, flashed XTR. Successful.
Downloaded Titanium Backup again from Market and opened it. Initially, did not show my apps in the backup folder, although the Overview screen did show that the sd card was identified, and the folder was named correctly.
Restarted Titanium Backup, all the apps then showed up, and I was able to (slowly - free version) reinstall all the apps. SUCCESS.
Ran XTR for a few days, added some more apps, made new backup of all the apps with Titanium Backup.
BUT! TOday, I had a problem with XTR. Some account hung on syncing, started to drain the battery, and wouldn't allow me to open the accounts & sync pref panel - kept FC that panel.
So, I decided to revert to my NAND backup of EE3. That went fine, all good.
But when I opened Titanium backup to load the new apps from the past few days, TItanium said no apps were backed up! Everything looks correct, except the backup/restore tab shows only the apps on the phone (from the nand backup) but not the apps that are on the card in the backup folder.
SO how do I restore them. Is titanium acting wrongly, or am I not understanding how it works?

I downloaded the SDK 2.0 toolkit and tried to launch the android tool to download the latest SDK. The application seems to launch with the following output:
$ ./android-sdk-mac/tools/android Starting Android SDK and AVD Manager No command line parameters provided, launching UI. See 'android --help' for operations from the command line. $
That's it. Nothing happens, no UI appears or any processes are started (check with ps, but there is no new java process). I'm running this on Mac OS X 10.5.8. The previous SDK s runs fine.

I tried modding some APK to make the app able to be multi view (tutorial : URL... ), I succeed modding 8tracks.apk, musicxmatch.apk but then when I tried to do it to LINE (NAVER) and installed it, it said "app was not installed".
It is a system tool while building the apk, and it still doesn't work.why some people said to not sign a system tool apk? while from what i've read, android cannot install an unsigned apk. mod the NAVER/LINE Games to stop checking if i am a rooted device?

I wanted to root my new galaxy victory 4G LTE from Sprint and put a custom rom on it. Followed rooting guides and that worked fine. Then I went to find a rom that would work and all I found was victorious, which I was so eager to try I didn't even think to read that part that said VM only. Got stuck in a boot loop. That's where I made the real mistake and decided to try a rom for another galaxy model, a custom s3 rom. Ever since that my touchscreen has been unresponsive, soft buttons and hard buttons work though. Using ODIN I've tried to restore to stock, I've used KIES to try to update, and everything has worked as far as I could want it to, but nothing restored touchscreen functionality. I am able to get into the hard button guided recovery menu and download mode, but have been unable to get anything touch based to work, and cannot find a CM non touch recovery that will work with this phone.
