    Help Shake to turn on camera lost with Kit Kat?

    Simple as the subject. Yesterday, shaking the phone launched the camera; after Kit Kat install this morning, it simply wakes up the phone, doesn't launch any apps (specifically the Camera). Did I miss something? Can't find anything in settings. Guessing it's working as designed, I just get...

    Moto Assist & Google Voice

    I have used Google Voice for Text Messaging since... well since it was called Grand Central... Moto Assist is great. Tested it last night, as expected, it does NOT read Google Voice messages (but did during a test to the phones "actual" number). Is there any method to configure Assist or some...

    Change Default Action App

    In the camera app, swiping right to go into the gallery, I errantly set it to use Google Photos as the default app for looking at images. I would like to switch it back to "Gallery." I can't seem to find where to make this change. Photos or Google Photos does not appear in the App list for...

    Google Wallet not showing vendor names nor prices

    I side-loaded Google Wallet when I bought my Nexus a few weeks ago. Initially, I put some money on the pre-paid card. For all those charges, I got a merchant name and cost of the transaction. When my new Citi Mastercard came in the mail, I started using it for my purchases. Not for a single...

    Help Recovering Locked Phone in Airplane Mode

    My wife lost (stolen?) her phone yesterday while traveling. Installed on the phone are two applications - First, Lookout, which allows you to locate the phone using GPS. Second, some serious corporate security software that requires a very non-trivial password to enter. Fail something like 5...

    Help GMail syncing/Corruption problem

    For some reason the GMail app is "hung" for lack of a better descriptor. First thing this AM, noticed it wasn't responding and had an old version of my IMAP GMail on screen while the 'thinking wheel' was spinning in the top right corner. It just wouldn't stop or finish refreshing after...

    NetFlix Bandwidth?

    I side loaded NetFlix onto the Tab 10.1 and it works incredibly. Awesome! So here's the question - anyone have any idea on average how much data is used in a single movie, say 90 minutes? Any way for me to easily determine this? Reason I ask is that I use a MiFi in the car and this would be...

    My wife recently got an Incredible through work, I am a 1st day original Droid user. Her browser appears quite different from mine, however in my limited use of it, I can not state that it's either better or worse or how to replace with the one on my Droid. So reviews - should she stick with...

    Motorola TOS/EULA & Corporate E-Mail

    My wife works for a Fortune 100 company. They allow iPhones and non-Motorola Android based phones to access the Exchange servers for e-mail & calendar. The reason they state for not permitting Motorola is that Motorola states they retain *all* data on the phone and the right to use any/all of...

    Droid Maps UTM Format

    Looking for an answer to prove to a friend that the Droid is ever useful... He's going to a state fair and unfortunately, the idiots at this state fair have only published the location on their web site in UTM format. I've used this GeoCaching before, so I'm familiar with it and all handheld...

    Car Home: Using the extra squares

    I posted this a while ago in the generic Froyo thread without response, so I ask here as a new topic. In the Froyo 2.2 Car Home, we aparantly get 2 screens with 6 squares on each. Has anyone determined how to add personalized apps to the 3 empty squares? Is there any way to remove or...

    Calendar Notifications or lack thereof

    I posted this in a different forum sub-section by accident, hoping my Droid friends can help me out: One of my pet peeves would be the notifications of calendar events. The droid sounds the notification ringtone once this is quiet. I would like it to sound as a true alarm, ringing...

    Calendar Alarms or lack thereof

    One of my pet peeves would be the notifications of calendar events. The droid sounds the notification ringtone once this is quiet. I would like it to sound as a true alarm, ringing until disabled. Does anyone know a way to gain this functionality. I use tthe calendar for important events and...

    Save Route after driving different than suggested

    There's a route I take to my sisters place that is different than the Droid would have me drive. I swear I read or a friend told me there is a "save route" feature that once you finish driving your way, you can select which will help force it to take you that way in the future. I can't find...

    Pandora Quitting after 30 minutes?

    My brother in law turned me on to Pandora this past weekend. I knew about it and even poked around with it a few years ago, but never "got into" it. Having bailed on renewing my satellite radio subscription recently, I thought it time to check out Pandora. He taught me the ropes and we set up...

    Quick Battery Drain in bad reception buildings

    So my church is a cell-phone black hole. No 3G and barely 1x. They changed the password on the WiFi recently so until someone leaks it to me, my phone is near useless in the building. This stinks as I spent a considerable amount of time there over probably 4 days a week, so stinks to be me...

    Help WiFi Connectivity Problems

    I've had my droid since Day 1 and have loved nearly everything about it. Due to business, travel and the holidays, I'm just now getting around to trying some of the stuff out. I saw on the TV.com app, that I can watch (i.e. fall asleep listening to) Letterman, but only while connected via...

    Charging Question / Problems

    I've been noticing that my Droid appears to always have a low battery, even though I thought I had been charging it. I installed Battery Graph which polls the battery every 5 minutes (or every 1) and puts the data on a nice graph. I've been sitting at my laptop for the past hour plus, with it...

    Facebook App Q

    Speaking of the Facebook app that came pre-loaded on the Droid... The "news feed" appears to be incredibly old. The top entries being 6-7 hours old and then jumping to 8-9 hours old. Is this standard? This is something amiss with the 'new' facebook web interface and is worked around online...

    Notification times

    So it's almost bed time here on the east coast... It's interesting enough to hear the "Droid..." notification (changeable, I know) every time a FB friend posts, I get a TXT or an e-mail. Problem is, I don't want to receive these at 3 in the morninig, nor do I want to turn off my sounds in case...

    I use bluetooth all the time in my GM with OnStar. On any other traditional phone, I can press the BT button in the car, state "Bluetooth" then "voice" and I then have voice command of the phone where I can say things like "Call Darren Mobile" Using OnStar, bluetooth/voice gets me the response...
