    Root How get droid back to unrooted 2.1?

    I rooted and installed a stock 2.2 rom last week, and it doesn't really offer anything I need. On top of that it seems to make things run slower. With 2.2 being confirmed for next week by Motorola, i'm fine with just going back to stock 2.1 and getting the official update when it comes...

    Is the Droid still worth getting?

    So I just canceled my contract with Sprint because of lousy coverage and am returning the EVO today. I'm now looking to get into a one year contract with Verizon and get the Droid. But I was looking at the specs, and it seems about half as good as many other Android phones on the market (none...

    Verizon hidden fees and taxes question.

    I'm thinking of getting a Droid with a one year contract. After the employee discount it's going to come out to be roughly $78 a month. I was just wondering what total price I should expect to pay after all the hidden fees and taxes. I live in NY. Also, I know this isn't the Verizon forum...

    Not impressed with Sprint, fearful of Evo. What are my options?

    So, I got my Evo last week and I am not pleased at all with the Sprint service in my area. On top of that I keep hearing about all these problems with HTC's Android phones, so I'm skeptical that my phone will survive the full 2 year contract. So what to do? I'm probably gona return this...

    System panel history no longer works

    For some reason the history tab on the system panel app no longer works. When I click it nothing happens. I'm not sure why it stopped. Every other part of the program works fine. Any idea what the problem could be? Also I'm typing this from the default browser and it seems to be working just...

    Compass wildly inaccurate.

    So I tried using Layar 3 different times in 3 different locations, and each time it showed the locations of things to be completely opposite of where they were supposed to be. So I installed a Compass app and (at least in this room) it seems to be about 90* off. Can anyone else mess around...

    Two questions from an Evo noob.

    Just got my evo yesterday. Have two "issues" that I can't resolve. 1.) When sending text messages is it possible to view people from only one contact group? I have about 60 real people in my google contacts (all in "phone" group), and over 200 various emails. When selecting a person to call...

    Can someone list the apps that the Evo comes with, and whether they can be uninstalled or not?

    So where did the 642MB of ROM go?

    Out of the 1GB of ROM that the Evo comes with, we only have access to 358MB. This means that a whopping 642MB (more than the total amount of space on most Android phones) are already willed up with something. I can't imagine the OS would take up that much, since it would be too big for most...

    To everyone getting their Evo early. (Not through Google I/O)

    Can you just give some more information on how it happened? Where did you order it from? Did you get an email telling you that it's been shipped? Were you sprint customers before getting the Evo? I want my phone already, damn it!

    Will turning off sense make a difference?

    Just a quick question. Since Sense is extra drag on the phone, and the Evo has some reported lag issues, I was wondering if turning Sense off will make a difference as far as speed and battery life. I know that the ability to turn Sense off without rooting the phone exists on the Evo, but...

    Are there any dashcam apps? If not would anyone be interested if I made one?

    I've been wanting to install a dashcam in my car for a long time so that if I ever get into an accident I have a video showing that it wasn't my fault (hopefully). I'd say that on an average commute, 20% of the people that share the road with me are weapons-grade ******ed, so a dashcam of some...

    Just to make you all jealous. ;)

    Just preordered my Evo through my employer. Paying $175 for the phone ($300-$125 mail-in-rebate), and $63 per month ($53 + $10 for Evo BS). Yeah, that's right, look at those low prices. How does that make you feel! I've been following Android since about a year before it came out, and this...

    I want to get an HTC Evo, but maybe I shouldn't?

    After doing a lot of research on Android phones, I've decided to switch my Nokia E63 for an HTC Evo, when it is released. Everything about that phone looks great, except it's future. From what I understand, HTC has a nasty habit of not updating it's phones after they are released (which is...

    Nexus One users, how is your touchscreen?

    So, I was gona order a Nexus One today, but the order page is bugged and doesn't allow ordering (apparently it was always like this and Google never bothered to fix it). So then I searched for articles on the multi-touch capabilities of the N1, and found this gem: Nexus One Multi-Touch...
