    Help Auto-sync killing battery all of a sudden

    Help Where did my pix go? OS upgrade?

    Hi! I just updated my D2 OS (Verizon) the other day and the phone has been acting "odd," that is the only way I can describe it. Kind of like when you have been driving a car a long time and can tell when something just isn't right. Case in point. I was at an event for my kid last night and...

    Droid randomly speaks time after factory reset

    Hi! I recently had to do a factory reset. Now, my Droid will speak the current time randomly. Not on the hour or half hour or anything like that, maybe twice a day (that I have been able to notice). It just did it at 12:37. I would actually like it to do this on command, I just don't know why it...
