    Help Black screen after camera/camcorder use

    Starting a few days ago - after I take a photo or video (or sometime after I view the gallery), I put the X down and the screen shuts off after the usual time out period but then I can't wake up the screen - it stays black. The only way out of this is a battery pull. I uninstalled a bunch of...

    Help podcast starts when usb cable connected

    I have this addition for the annals of Droid X strangeness... I put a new sdhc card into the X last night - an A-Data 16 gb class 10 card. I copied over a bunch of the stuff from my old 8 gb card. This morning I connect the usb cable to my main PC to copy over some photos to the new card...

    Help Ringing sound at shutoff

    On my X when I shut the phone off (mostly to reboot occasionally) the phone rings - like an old-style ringtone - right before it shuts off. This is annoying. My OG Droid didn't do this. Is there a way to turn off this ring - or change it to something less obnoxious?

    Help Appearance of answer call screen

    Just got a new Droid X. Looks like there are two different screens to answer an incoming call. One screen has two buttons that say something like "accept" and "reject" and the other screen is a slider to answer the call. It's strange to have 2 different answer call screens. They seem to...

    Verizon is Verizon, right?

    I'm going to be traveling over the next few weeks, probably when the phone launches. Does it matter if I buy the phone from Verizon in Phoenix or Tampa if I live in New York? I assume it doesn't. Just double checking.

    Too buggy to buy?

    I'm thinking seriously of avoiding all of the new 4G phones and buying the last 4.3 inch 3G-only phone on Verizon - the Droid X. I won't see 4G in my area for a long time and I don't want to risk paying extra for 4G. Even if my area had 4G I don't want to pay anything more for my data access...

    Just got my wife the Incredible and I was surprised to see that the HTC calendar is different than the one on my Droid 1. Is there any way, without rooting, to use the stock Android google calendar on the Incredible?

    Help Can't hear myself - defective?

    Just bought an Incredible for my wife. It seems to be working well but on phone calls, I can hear the other party through the earpiece but I can't hear myself when I'm talking. On my Droid I can hear myself and the other caller. Looks like a defect to me. Any opinions on this? Is this a...

    Gmail changes with FRG83D?

    Currently running the update - FRG83D. Like everyone else, I've been trying to figure out what Gmail interface changes came out of this update. I noticed that the screenshots for the Gmail app in the Market show colorful "group" labels (such as family, respond, travel, work, etc). I can't...

    Does the Droid X run hot (like the Droid 1)?

    Thinking about trading up from the Droid 1 to the Droid X. There are many reasons to do so but one that I'm wondering about is the CPU speed and heat generation. My Droid gets very hot whenever I do anything CPU intensive - like browsing or using the GPS. With the GPS, I feel like I...

    Sirius/ XM radio app: did you lose the "News and Public Radio" category today??

    I turned on my Droid this morning to listen to MSNBC and I heard the last 5 minutes of Keith Obermann (5:55 am est) and then all of my news and talk channels disappeared! Channels like CNN, C-SPAN, MSNBC and NPR are all gone from my favorites and the channel line-up. There is nothing in the...

    Kindle app availalble for Droid

    I haven't seen any comments on the new Kindle app specifically regarding the Droid. I downloaded it a few days ago and it is great. IMO the Kindle app is the best ebook reader - great selection of titles, easy to purchase, good prices and just a top notch app. It also automatically synchs...

    Seems like since 2.1 my Droid runs hot when doing extended surfing or using the car dock. It gets very hot in the car dock (with GPS and navigation running). Combine that with the heat effects of the sun and the Droid gets very hot. Any one else notice this? Seems like this would be bad...
