Motorola Droid :: How To Keep Phone In Pristine Condition
Oct 30, 2009
I am very interested in finding out how is the finish on the phone. Does it look like a screen protector will be necessary? Will the sides or back scratch easily? (For example I hate how the chrome bezel on the iPhone scratches no matter what you do to protect it.) Does it appear that the car dock or multimedia dock will eventually scratch or cause some wear on the phone's finish? (So many times accessories and even cases made by the phone manufacturer actually causes damage to the phone's finish after repeated use.) I admit I am anal and always try to keep my phone in pristine condition. Once it has a blemish or a scratch, I seem to constantly dwell on that and it distracts from my enjoyment of the device. I probably need a shrink instead of a new phone.

I'm trying to use a Condition Variable to control the execution sequence of two threads. I can create a Condition Variable in one thread and block on it. But I would like to be able to access it from another Thread and unblock it from that thread.. ? Blocked Thread i am planning to keep as GUI thread and it should update the messages which are sent by b/g thread on the screen during its block state and will be unblocked by b/g thread in the end by calling open(); method.

I'm just starting with android development and have written an application to show details about the battery status.
Now I wanted to put the whole thing into an widget - and here's the question:
Do I really need a update service in the background to listen for ACTION_BATTERY_CHANGED intents? My first thought was to put just a <action android:name="android.intent.action.ACTION_BATTERY_CHANGED" /> line into the <intet-filter> tag of the widget in the AndroidManifest.xml - but obviously it's not that simple.
If the UpdateService is the right way I'll do so - but I just wanted to make sure what the proper solution is.

Tethering still works great on an un-rooted Hero using the "Race Condition" technique. Happy this still works! I don't have a need for it, but it's nice to know it's there if I am in a fix.

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!

Is there any other way on the X to sync FB's pictures without it syncing the other junk like their phone numbers? I've tried Syncmypix but the quality of the pictures are kinda crappy.

I've had a Moto Droid since around the first or second week of its release. I have my phone rooted and I'm running BuglessBeast V0.5. At the end of November I can renew my contract early and I'll get a new Android based phone. Are there any phones worthy of replacing the Motorola Droid? There's no denying that the Droid had/has the biggest community and developer base but what is the next Droid phone that will be the biggest hit with the community and developers? That's the phone I want to get.

Can I get my Droid video clips off of my phone and onto my PC? I bought a SanDisk card reader usb port, put my SD card in it and plugged it into my PC. It doesn't show the video clips or "camera" pictures. I'd like to get some of this stuff off my phone and onto my PC.

I have a Motorola Droid and the latest release of Android (Froyo 2.2).My question is I want to send a music video that is going to a Non-Android phone. This phone can play videos and is a standard Verizon branded phone. The video has already been converted to the standard .3gp format from my PC which uses Roxio 2010 Video converter. I have the following Apps installed to assist me:Astro File Manager (With both extensions installed and latest release)Handcent SMS (No Font Packs Installed).The video itself is almost 4 minutes long and the size of the video is only 9.40MB.

Does anyone know of an app to improve contact searching in the Phone app? I would love a BlackBerry-like interface where the phone opens and you can just start typing a contact name (on dialpad) (or any contact data to select and narrow a contact search? Instead you have to perform an actual search or scroll - what a pain! If nothing exists - who's willing to build it?

I love Android, but I can only hope HTC makes a similar phone for Verizon.
This screen and interface look incredible. Snapdragon CPU. Too bad you are stuck with WinMo apps.

I love using my DROID in the OEM Car Dock. I have it setup in landscape mode, but I'm seriously thinking of reconsidering this. More-or-less, because I have to. Every app seems to work great in landscape mode all, except for one, that is. The phone app. What's up with that?Go ahead, try it! Open up the phone app (displaying the dial pad), and turn the DROID on it's side nu thin'! Now open the hardware keyboard. Isn't that a hoot? I would love to know how you're supposed to dial a phone when there isn't any dial pad. In my honest opinion, this is one of the biggest over-sights with the DROID and I have yet to hear anyone mention this issue on this forum, or any other forums. NOTE: Scroll down to post # 16 for an update.

It will be awhile before I get my next Android phone, but am curious, when that day comes, is there an easy way(or any way) to migrate all apps from my current Droid to whatever I get next??
Best bet at the moment is it will be a HTC Android phone. But, who knows what will be out then, it's at least 7 months away.

I know that different phones react differently to the same ROM, but now I've seen it for myself. My husband couldn't stand it anymore so he went and got himself a Droid which I promptly rooted and installed the same 2.0.3 SS ROM that mine is running. I have both OC's at 800mhz, but for some reason his newer phone is HOT. It's pretty consistently about 5 degrees Celsius higher than mine, and it gets up into the 40's with use (which mine never does). Is there anything I should try on his phone, maybe a different kernel, to get it to run a little cooler?

I'm not sure how to set up my phone for use, I'm going from an ENV2. I want to transfer the service to this phone, but I don't know how to do it. Never got any instructions for that.
Also first time I turned on my phone manual says I was supposed to get a gmail setup screen, and I never did.

What is the best IM app for the Droid? And please dont say ebbudy because that app sucks. I just want an app that can do these basic functions which is have a good UI, be able to send photo's or files, be able to see the profile pic of who you're messeging and be able to change status or profile pic. iPhone/iTouch have billions of apps like this why cant Android have one. Nimbuzz is the closest thing to what I want but it crashes so much and drains the battery.
