Verizon Tech here - ask away!

[Deleted User]

Usually with previously owned equipment you are not able to add insurance. Although warranty should still apply if it's less than a year old(which it is)


*FWIW I am a former verizon wireless employee and technician.*

Thanks, I actually called Verizon yesterday and asked, and the rep said since it is brand new and never activated I can keep my insurance that I have currently on my TP2. Thanks for your help, I'm sure I will more questions when I receive my phone.

Viperboy or anyone who can help - I have a case on my Eris, so it's almost impossible to feel it vibrate. I switched to the Old Phone ringtone turned all the way up. Is there a ringtone that is louder than that one? Is it possible to increase the number of times the phone rings, so that I have a better chance of hearing it before it goes to voicemail? Also - and the bigger problem - is that I can't hear the Notification sound. Any hints on how to fix/improve that? Thanks so much for the help!

Is there any reason that the push notification on the Facebook app will not work on myh DROID?

Hi There,

I am a mac user who is very happy with my HTC droid eris. The one complaint is that when I sync my photos to my phone they do not transfer according to folder or categories they had previously been sectioned into in iphoto. instead when I open my photos on the eris they are all jumbled in one large folder.

there must be a way to create new/smaller photo folders. Instead of just 'all photos' i would like to have 'winter vacation 2010', 'wedding', etc...

what am i doing wrong?

Please help! Have a droid... When im on the phone and i receive a text or email the phone vibrates. Anyone know how to turn this off?? The only options available are to turn off vibrate completely.. Id like to keep vibrate for all the notifications but have it silent when im actually on a call.

This is the first phone ive had this problem with.

Thanks!

I use Handcent SMS and if you go to settings ->Notification Setting -> at the very bottom there is an option for vibrate on call. Hope this helps. I am sure other sms apps have a similar option

I bought a Droid in early November and haven't had any problems until now. When trying to sync my Gmail contacts I get an !error which says "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly". It has been a week since I was last able to sync without getting this message. Any ideas? fixes?

Try this (read the warnings and use at your own risk)

Are you using the stock messaging app? If so, there is a setting for Delete old messages as limits are reached... maybe this is your issue???

Hope that helps...

I've turned off the vibrate setting under android keyboard settings but still get vibrations with every screen touch.

Go to settings, Sound and Display, scroll down and uncheck Haptic Feedback. That should take care of it...

Is the Droid email client going to be fixed to work reliably with imap. Also, it lost some outgoing email. K9 is better but will not work with TLS and imap.
