    I'm thinking of fixing my motorolla droid so I can give it to my dad so he can use it's wifi ability to do some stuff. He wouldn't be signing up with Verizon. Is it possible to use the phone without a Verizon account (no calling obviously but everything else)?

    Root Matt's Droid FAQ

    Matt's Droid Info I've seen tutorials that just walk you through the steps of how to root or how to flash but they mostly don't explain much leaving you (or me) very confused as to what's going on under the surface. I'm going to maintain a post that explains things a bit better I hope as a...

    2.1 Gallery only showing new videos? (bugless beast)

    First time I ran the new gallery 2.1 app, it stayed stuck on the loading screen. I deleted the .Thumbnail directory and it then started and recreated the thumbnails just fine. Trouble is, I see the pictures now but none of the videos are there. I see the videos in the DCIM/Camera folder as...

    Audio getting out of sync when fast forwarding video

    Anyone else see this? If I start the video from scratch and let it play all the way through, audio is synced just fine. When I drag the slider to another point in the movie, it's now off by a second. If you aren't seeing this behavior on yours, would you mind telling me the compression...
