A couple of times I've received a message about "Nationwide access coverage not available" (or something close) when trying to send or receive an MMS msg. Verizon Tech Support was about as much help as well... let's not go there.Does anyone know what the message really means ? It happened multiple times last nite & I had good signal and 3G.

So I am wanting to buy the Motorola Droid but looking to get ride of the messaging option such as text messaging. I mean I will have access to e-mail so do I really need text messaging? Trying to save some money and I really only get maybe 50 texts a month.
Anyone else have a Droid without the text option. Just Nationwide Talk?
Also another question: Anyone buy a Droid through Bestbuy? Looking to buy Droid through Bestbuy cause hubby wants the Blackberry 8530 Curve? and you can get it free when you buy the Droid. Otherwise through Verizon you can get the Eris with a purchase of the Droid but hubby insists on the Blackberry, he's lets say not really into computers anyways.
Not sure if this had been posted or not but I read there was a nationwide 3G outage, but does anyone know what caused it? Did they try to push 2.1 and crash the system?
View 1 Replies View RelatedAfter spending several hours at a Best Buy trying to get my preorder they sent me away. Called three Sprint stores in the area and all three said their system was down nationwide and they didn't know when it was going to be up again. Stopped in another Sprint store and the manager there told me the same thing. This is inexcusable in my opinion. They knew how many people were going to be clamoring for this thing and to not be prepared like this is just unacceptable.

And I uninstalled my stock version of LP so I could install the new version...only problem is I already un installed the ADW that came with RubiX...now I have no home launcher and can't access my app drawer to get into Astro to install the new LP. How do you power off and power back into reboot recovery so I can restore my last backup?
I've been emailing the dev of Toggle Data Widget because I could not get it to work on my droid reading through the comments I was not the only one. He is telling me to look in my settings under wireless & networks and tell him what I have for APN's. Well the thing is I don't even have anything in there! Does some body know where to find what he's talking about? I emailed him telling him I couldn't find it anywhere and he seems baffled as well.

View 4 Replies View RelatedWill a Smoked Glass update delete or overwrite my flashed Motorola Droid thats currently on the Cricket service or in other words will it mess up my flashed service causing me to have to get it re-flashed back to cricket? Or is it like a somewhat update for ROOTED phone users that want to increase there phone's capabilities as compared to the stocked Android versions that were already released? I would hate to have to re-flash it even though its simple.Ok I did the update and so far the only problems are:
-That my 3G, or internet access through Cricket doesnt work anymore
-I cannot gain access to the Android Market, neither through Wifi or 3G (But as I mentioned my 3G doesnt work any more)
-I cannot gain access to GMAIL through App, even on Wifi
-GPS switch doesnt turn on GPS feature nor does the switch within the [Location & Security] enables the GPS feature
-In the [Add an account] the Gmail account has been deleted
-In the [Privacy settings] the only option available is "Factory data reset," Im not sure if thats a major problem but I thought I'd mention it But the plus's that I noticed so far are:
-The speed of my phone has increased greatly
-Youtube videos are now playable through the pre-installed app Does anybody know any possible fixes to the above problems, if so i'd appreciate it?
-Or to answer my question would my problem be fixed if I return back to my previous ROM that I backed up and then update it in order from v7 to v8 to v9 then to v10?
-Cause my previous ROM was Smoked Glass v6.0
-And if I do a factory reset will it delete my FLASHED service causing me to have to re-flash my phone?
I have root i guess but this is whats weird. i can load rom manager and load spr and new roms etc. but then in apps like setcpu and titanium backup it says i dont have root access? but before this i had the first 2.2 rom that was released and that allowed setcpu but not titanium backup. its so confusing and now i cant open setcpu if i load my new kernal it runs at the highest speed but its only read-only and i cant change it. what can or should i do?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've have downloaded, unistalled, and re-downloaded DM Updater and when I open the app I get a message that reads: "Looks like your phone is rooted, but you have not given DM Updater access yet. You *must* check the remember box!"
I am indeed rooted, using sholes 2.0.5 (maybe thats why?) Never had any problems getting 'permission' for an app before. The dialogue box doesn't even pop up when I open DMU like it does with other apps the first time you run them and get the option to allow root access.
I read that official 2.1 (from another Droid forum) will be blocking root access. I too thought that this is kind of odd, so I thought to ask.
View 15 Replies View RelatedI downloaded a PDF file to my Droid.I can see that it is in the "Downloads" folder when I mount the Droid to my laptop via the USB.My question is, how do I access this file from the phone?I can't get to the directory to try to open it.I can access the PDF through my Gmail account using the Preview option. However, I wanted to save the file to the SD card. So, I searched this and another forum on how to do that and the only way I could find was to access my gmail account through the browser and download. I did this and the file was put in the Downloads folder on the SD.How do you access the Downloads directory and for that matter, any directory that you may want to create on the SD?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI've been closely watching what i install and what permissions they ask for. I installed "Diet & Food Tracker" by Spark People. On the app market it said that it only needed internet access.
When I looked under manage applications it said the permissions were internet access
read phone state and identity
read and modify sd card data
is it normal to have hidden permission access?
Is it possible? Like when the phone is on the cradle to mimic that desktop mode?

Sending text is fine but when inserting pictures and sending it that message always pops up.This is the 3rd time its happen and the only way to fix it is to reset it!(only to break a week or so later) Even when I call customer service there only advice to reset it.

View 2 Replies View RelatedCan someone please help me understand the advantage of using Touchdown to manage my corporate emails, calendar and contacts? We are running on Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 (on Small Business Server 2008). The phones that are using activesync in our office have to enter a password every time they are brought out of screen saver or sleep mode.This is very annoying and I don't want this. I am currently connecting via my company's Outlook remote web access, not directly to the server. No password entry required. So far, this is working for me. Updates to emails, contacts and calendar are immediate. Emails arrive on the phone typically before they appear in my Outlook.Now, what I am looking for in the way of improvements:
1.Adding a signature to my emails (required for FINRA and SEC compliance).
2. Fixing contacts so they are listed by last name. They are currently in first name order when viewed on the DROID (not in Outlook).
3.Ability to accept meeting invites this is a minor issue.
I have a rooted moto droid running kangerade 5.9 and for some reason I can not access the market place. not sure it just hangs at the loading screen and when I do a search i get no results found. im hoping I dont have to but it seems like a new rom may be the best fix
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been thinking about rooting my Droid for a little while, but I would like some clarification on the risks before I begin. I know almost nothing about Linux (but I am a tinkerer), but there seem to be very straightforward instructions on how to do everything I'm interested in. When people say that you could "brick" your phone by deleting/moving/renaming the wrong file, I want to make sure I understand the usage of "brick". My definition of bricking a device was that it was literally only good as a brick. It is BROKEN. For good. Kaput. Like a brick. However, Blackberry users (when I was tinkering with my Blackberry Storm) use the word "brick" to describe a phone that just needs its operating system reloaded. I have no problem reloading the Android ROM if I had to (provided a dump of the Droid ROM exists) but will I have the option?Does "brick" around here mean the phone is 100% broken, or that it needs the Android ROM reloaded?

All of my family and friends were jealous when I showed them the google voice navigation app. I also created a gmail account today when I started up the phone.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am a current BB user and am very interested in moving over to the Droid, but have concerns about getting my corporate Outlook email. We do not support Activesync; we have 3 methods for mobile access:
BEZ server for BB (not applicable with Droid)
GoodLink - I have not found that GoodLink is supported on the Droid?
VPN - this is how our iPhone users currently access email.
So I have a few questions:
Is GoodLink supported on the Droid?
Is VPN supported natively on the Droid - or is there a VPN client for the Drod? I am not a developer and don't want to mess with the root for any development, etc.
I'm debating whether to go with the Inc (shipped to my house on Friday) or the D-X. I so much want to choose the DX b/c of the larger screen but to be honest, it seems like the usability of the Inc is a a bit better (much closer to iPhone experience than D-X) as the scrolling b/w menus is much smoother than the D-X
Separately, I tried accessing the chicago tribune website on both phones - the DX only allows me to access the mobile version but the Inc allows me to access the full desktop version. When I tried clicking on desktop icon at the bottom of the Tribune website on the DX, it still points me to the mobile website. Any idea why this is the case?
I go through Set up Email, type in my email address, password and then click next. It doesn't work. I then go back and hit manual setup, but I don' the answers. I'm assuming it's an IMAP account?
then what's the:
IMAP Server
Port
Security Type
IMAP Path prefix
I am unable to connect to my Droid. When I start the tether, I don't receive any errors (although I haven't checked the log), but when I look for the Droids access point, it's not shown on the list. I have access control enabled and it hasn't notified me that a device is trying to connect. I followed and have only done the following to root and to install wireless tether to the phone:

I am trying to use my new Droid to connect to our Exchange 2003 email. I can access it just fine when I am on the companies Wi-Fi (both OWA and Active sync), but when I try to connect from the internet, I cannot see either. Odd thing is that if I use Opera Mini 5 Beta on my Droid, I can connect to OWA, but the default browser wont allow it. My Iphone is working fine on both networks, so I know the system is working properly.

Then Back to click the downloaded file to install.This will allow you to use Exchange with having to purchase Touchdown.I used this on my former windows mobile phone to access my personal exchange server (used their server side software (free )) and my works exchange server.
