Motorola Droid :: Making Friends / Family Use GV
Aug 26, 2010
I can call people directly from my computer with GV (new Gmail integration), I'm really considering telling all my friends to use my new GV number. Right now some of them have my GV number but never call it, just my regular cell number. How did some of you make your friends use the GV number instead of your old one? Maybe I should just steal all their phones when they go to the bathroom or something and program it in myself? I'm wondering if it will add any extra charges through their cell plan. I picked a number that doesn't have an area code of where I actually live, it's actually a city about 4 hours away. That's the main thing I'm worried about, I don't want them to have to have any additional fees when they call/text my GV number.

I am new and recently bought the moto droid. I just got a google voice account and set it up. I do not have a friends and family plan. I have a $39.99 package with unlimited data($29.99). So is there a way using google voice and sipdroid or something else to make and recieve free calls or do you have to have the friends and family? I have read a couple links that people have provided about setting up sipdroid and I am completely lost.

Just as the title says. I see within contacts where it says family, friends etc. But how do I set up a group contact list such as "friends", "family" etc?

When I create a contact on the phone and assign a group, there are TWO 'friends' and TWO 'family' groups. All the contacts I setup from my GMail account show up in one 'friends' or one 'family' group. The duplicate groups are both empty. I went to an area where I can delete groups but the empty 'friends' and 'family' groups cannot be deleted. However, it looks like the groups I setup at GMail (where all my contacts are in) CAN be deleted. I'd rather not delete those groups because then those contacts will probably no longer be in a group, and the GMail/GContacts distinction will probably be lost. The reason this is annoying is because when I create a new friend contact from the phone I don't know which 'friends' group to add it to. Has anyone else noticed this? Checking my GContacts only shows one 'friends' group and one 'family 'group', but the way.

My Outlook had 1 set of contacts, I manually put contacts into the Hero. Everything they synced, odd things could sometimes happen. The latest was about 45 minutes ago when Sync ate the picture of my wife. I decided that the problem HAD to be between Outlook and Hero's contacts. I had noticed during all of my other syncs that the Hero would overwrite the bad data in Outlook for me most times, so I made a very bold decision.I deleted all of my contact info from Outlook (I have now realized that "undo" does not work for this) I then plugged in my phone, and told it to sync, knowing that the Hero would put all of my contact info back in. Do you know what happens next? The HTC Sync manager ate all of my friends and family. Because I gave my wife my BB, I deleted all the contacts from it as well, so now, well, looks like i get to start a) attempting to remember everything, and b) entering it all again by hand.

New to Android and trying figure hangouts little. I am already setup in it, am I required to "add" my friends/family to it before I can do texting and such?
On my phone, I know with the Kitkat update it wants to use Google hangouts. I have not set it to use it as it keeps saying I need to add everyone in people to hangouts.
I want to make sure I am going to spam my friends and family to join hangouts as they are not on it and do not want too.

Since I got my Droid X a few days ago I have been plagued by contact syncing issues and most notably how they relate to the facebook apps, both the Motorola Facebook and the Android market facebook. My suspicion is that these bugs are behind the comic sluggishness of my brand new phone. Here are the bugs I've discovered in the hopes that someone has a solution for me, or that the developers will catch on.
Motorola Facebook Issues:
This app imports ALL of your facebook friends to your contacts. There is no way to turn this off. I have over 1,000 facebook friends, most of whom I will never contact on the phone. This is exceedingly annoying. In reality I have about 300 contacts that I actually want in my phone which I imported easily from google. The Motorola facebook app did seem to sync up with these contacts just fine adding pictures, emails etc. Only problem was it brought everyone else along with it.
Market Facebook Issues:
- Despite setting my sync preferences to only syncing data to existing contacts, Facebook will still add anybody with a phone number attached to their facebook account to "Phone Contacts." "Phone Contacts" are different from "All Contacts" (bizarre), so it's not quite as bad as the Motorola FB importing everyone of my fb friends (phone # or not) to "All contacts", but it's still very, very annoying.
- The app will not sync pictures to contacts.
- The app creates dozens and dozens (in my case 43) "linked profiles" to each of my contacts. I am guessing this is what is causing the ridiculous sluggishness of my phone.
Conclusions:
- I am going to fully delete the Market FB app from my phone along with the data it added to my contacts.
- Since I really love having pics/fb info attached to my contacts, I am going to try using the Moto FB app by itself and just live with the 1000 or so contacts. This will be the first time I am trying the moto app w/o the market app. I am hoping this solves the sluggishness which I suspect has to do with the "linked profiles" created by the Market FB app.
Currently my phone is in the process of deleting the market FB app which is taking FOREVER. I will keep you all posted. And I'd love to hear if anyone else is having similar problems.

Sync my pix apk sucks. removed some bloat ware using titbck up. I backed all apps b4 removing. But titbck up won't let me restore them. They have a strike through line on them. I need the social networking.apk and motoblur contacts sync apk. Can somebody up loaf or let me know how to restore them. I'm thinking about sbf'or will a factory data reset be ok?

I'd really like to make a my own ringtones for my Droid from music that I already have, but I'd like to crop theme so that only certain parts of the song/music are used.
Any suggestions as to which apps I might like for this?
I've never made my own ringtones before.

I just flashed kangerade 4.0.7 and was wondering if there is a way to make Dialer One the default dialer at the bottom of the screen. Not too keen on the default Droid dialer compared to Dialer One.

I wrote about this earlier, I had an issue when making a call the screen stays off and I cannot access the keypad or anything while on a call when I remove the phone from my ear. I had this happen again today, but noticed it went away when I took the call indoors. This seems to be an issue when I make a call outdoors, maybe it is the bright sunlight, but the screen refuses to come back on when i am on a call outside. I had to use the keypad to make selections on a call today but was unable to since the screen stayed off. Have others noticed this happening in bright light calls outside? Also, what can be done to correct this?

So when I'm on a call, during the call I keep hearing an ongoing Beeep in the background. It's loud, distracting, and annoying. This began happening after the 2.2 update. Otherwise, everything is working ok. It's possibly a timer, or something, how can I shut if off...

Not sure how to fix this, but several times when I make a call and try to end it, the screen stays off and I cannot hit the END CALL button. This has happened a few times when I dialed the wrong number and wanted to just end the call before it connected, but when I flipped the phone back over from my ear it stayed off and the call kept going. Also, sometimes it will flash on for an instant then go back off again, still cannot end the calls.

Any way to use the Droid to make calls over WiFi as opposed to the VZW network? I have terrible coverage at my house, and would like to just use my WiFi connection. I would need to be able to go over WiFi but still be considered a Verizon Wireless call, as I call a lot of people with Verizon and take advantage of the free calling to Verizon customers. I don't see why Verizon wouldn't take advantage of something like this, it would only take strain off of their network if some users are connecting on their WiFi networks.

When I make a phone call my droids screen turns off. Then when I angle it a certain way it turns back on. Is this a feature to save battery life or do I have a problem ? Either way its very annoying when I need to use the keypad during a call.

When I make a call, or sometime when someone calls me, I have to put the phone on speaker in order to hear the other end. Apparently, whoever is on the other end can still hear me before I do this, but it is pretty much happening all the time now. Has anyone else experienced this? I googled and looked for some kind of setting, but I have not found a solution yet.

I just got my droid last week and decided to root it and try to get a little crazy with it. However I'm very new, obviously, to the droid and to linux. I just got ubuntu for my computer yesterday and already have it on there and have been working with it a little trying to get things settled. So far I'm very happy with both, but I'm also having some trouble, hence the following...
Well I'm trying to put busybox on my droid. I've got it on there but I'm having problems with making a directory on my phone, which I need to do to continue.
Anyway, what's happening is, ill put in mkdir /system/xbin and it returns "mkdir failed. Read only filesystem." This is after Ive already launched busybox. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong.

their Droid X going mute when making or receiving phone calls where the person on the other line can not hear you but you can hear them? The mute button is not lit up and I can't unmute it. I have tried doing a factory reset but that did not seem to solve the problem.

I know, I know, don't use your phone and drive, but you know, sometimes you have to. I find the droid kinda tricky to power on, unlock, then call a certain contact. There are way too many screens to go through, even with contact shortcuts right on my home desktop. What are your tips and tricks for making this process easier? I like the "voice dial" app and I wish I could tie that to one of the hard buttons on the side of the device. is this possible?

So when i turn the camera on, on the Droid it makes this sort of loud noise coming right from the lens it seems to only make it when it has to focus or when it turns on or even when coming back from previewing a picture. Does any one else seem to have that problem?
