Motorola Droid :: Droid Doesn't Like Fog / Moisture

Feb 4, 2010

So I was walking the track outside for about an hour and it was pretty foggy and I had the droid in my hand the whole time so it was exposed to the fog. When I think about it now that was probably stupid but I never dreamed fog would have such an effect. After I got inside about thirty minutes later (Nothing happened in the fog mind you), the you tube app opened and when I went to press the home button it would press the play/ pause button and would not exit and then I turned the phone to silent and it started blasting the video at full volume while on silent? It would not return home or let me press any button and then it decided to open the camera and auto focus like 8 times and then back to you tube and played some very random video I have never seen or searched for and then back to the camera back and forth. I had a body glove case and I do not like ripping it off a lot so it took me a while to get to the battery. I tried to hold down the button to shut down but that would reopen the you tube app and hit play/pause like a person on cocaine!! Also after I finally got the battery pulled and restarted my email accounts have been erased and I can not set it back up! It keeps saying free yahoo users do not have access!@!@@@ I had yahoo this whole time since launch day!! Well any help on this freak out is appreciated and also it is fine now two days later so maybe it dried out? Also nothing else erased except for the email accounts with both g-mail and yahoo! So I am asking for help and offering this as a warning to fellow users.

Motorola Droid X :: Where The Red Spots Show Up If There Moisture Damage

Oct 9, 2010

I got my first smart phone on 15 July, a Droid X. Everything was OK till last week when it died. I took the dead phone to VZ and they examined it and said there was moisture damage. Seems like there are some places on the phone that turn red when exposed to moisture. Bottom line was they are replacing the phone, but I had to buy a new battery and sign up for the $US4.95 a month insurance.

I do live in Florida and it can get hot and humid in the summer here. So my question is just how much do you have to baby a phone like the DX?

I thought I was careful with mine. Did not every carry it with me in the swimming pool. Kept in a nice silicon case to protect from bumps, and had another old HP calculator case that I often kept it in for more protection. Never had anything happen like dropping a Coke on the DX.

The lady at VZ was kind of a bozo, she even wanted to over charge me for the battery; but some guy in a suit came out of the back room and said I was a preferred customer and gave me a discount. When I asked about buying a different case that would protect my phone from water (I have seen OEM water proof cases advertised on the internet) she said that was not necessary.

Do other peeps have "moisture" issues with their phones, and if so how do you deal with them? Now that I know where the red spots show up if there is moisture damage I will probably start checking them. But if smart phones are so fragile that I have to baby them so they last more than three months I may have to review my decision to buy one.

Motorola Droid X :: Tasker Doesn't Work Unless Use Motorola Control Panel

Aug 4, 2010

Tasker does not seem to function unless I use the motorola control panel and turn on bluetooth, wifi, and gps. If I shut these off via the control panel then tasker does not turn them on at the appointed times and events.Which begs the question, is tasker REALLY turning them off? or are the icons just going away in the notification bar (because they still show as on in the control panel widget)Has anyone else noticed this issue?

Nov 10, 2009

I was reading some info awhile ago on the droid on some site and it stated that IM apps etc use your text messages on your plan please tell me this is incorrect.My droid is supposed to be here tomorrow and definitely am not interested in this phone if Verizon is pulling that crap on this phone.I'm aware that is how IM apps work on non smart phone Verizon phones and assumed that wasn't the case for the Droid.

Motorola Droid :: Doesn't Vibrate For Anything?

Jan 31, 2010

So, when i put my phone on a Vibrate (using the volume buttons on the side) it just puts it in Silent Mode, but with a vibration icon. it doesn't vibrate for anything. granted it doesn't make a noise so that's not all bad, but it just sits there and flashes its little light...

Cause i mean it is the easiest way for me to just pop it into vibrate mode, but the vibrate doesn't work, and i don't want it completely silent, as i do still want to know when i get something.

Motorola Droid :: GPS Doesn't Work In Morning

Feb 1, 2010

This is strange. The GPS on my Droid will only work in the afternoons. Whenever I try to use Maps or GPS Status in the morning, no signal is obtained. But use it in the afternoon...anywhere from 7 to 9 satellites are found.After the time stamp issue with the camera, I'm wondering if there's a similar issue with the GPS.

Motorola Droid :: 2.2 GMail Doesn't Sync

Jun 6, 2010

I've started using 2.2, and it's going great, but I've noticed that when I read and archive an email on my phone, it's not reflecting it on the computer.Previously whenever I'd run into issues like this I'd clear the cache on the Gmail Storage in the Manage Applications menu, and it'd resync, but in 2.2 there's only the Gmail app, and the Clear Cache button is grayed out.

Motorola Droid :: Handsfree Loudspeaker Doesn't Work

Nov 17, 2009

Have many of you had the issue that only the earpiece speaker or earphones work, and the handsfree loudspeaker doesn't kick in, unless you're making a call and choose handsfree? This is particularly annoying when listening to music and you want it through the louder speaker, or if you set an alarm, or receiving calls...... Anyhow here is an article: Motorola DROID Experiencing Main Speaker Issues | PhoneNews.com. Surprised I haven't seen more about this on the forum.

Motorola Droid :: Voice Dial Really Doesn't Seem To Work

Nov 9, 2009

I look forward to my Droid from Verizon.. unfortunately the Voice Dial appears disfunctional.If i go "Call Joe Blow".I get "Calll Joe Blow at home' Call Joe Blow on mobile choices on the screen. ok I could live with that as my Razr sometimes had difficulty, but I MUST PHYSICALLY SELECT THE CORRECT CHOICE.. so much for hands free.what is even worse is that if I say Dial 800-555-1212 it also prompts me for phsyical confirmation.For a phone in a hands free state this is worthless.Is this something that software will correct in the future??? I am trying to decide whether to send this sucker back in my 3 day window

Motorola Droid :: Amazon MP3 App Doesn't Work With Wifi?

Jun 13, 2010

Has anyone else noticed the Amazon MP3 App (the one that comes preinstalled with the phone) doesn't work if Wifi is turned on? I've tried it on two wifi networks (home and work) and I can't purchase or download if it's on.

I don't know if it matters, but both networks use WPA2. One is PSK and the other uses RADIUS authentication.

Has anyone else experienced this and if so does anyone know a fix?

Motorola Droid X :: Screen Timeout Just Doesn't Work?

Oct 3, 2010

I have suspected this on every ROM I have run (stock 2.1, all tranquility roms, and now rubix 0.3 (which I love except the single unexpected shutdown of the phone once).

My screen just doesn't turn off no matter what the settings/display/screen timeout is set to (30 sec, 1 min...)

I test it by turning on the phone, sliding to unlock and then staring at my homescreen with a stopwatch. It can be 5-10 minutes before it turns off.

I have interrogated with spareparts and the phone does have a high percentage of "running" from bluetooth and wifi, but isn't the screen supposed to shut off even with those background processes running??

I don't have anything special installed for power management, just stock stuff.

I went to the market and found some power managers but I don't have any confidence a third party app will solve this problem.
