    HTC Virtual Keyboard Install pack

    I tried searching the forum about this, cause I could have sworn I saw a thread about it, but I couldn't find it. I installed the Swype keyboard when that came out, but from the beginning what I was hoping would come out was the HTC virtual keyboard. I used that on the Eris and i feel like it's...

    Third replacement, and re-sync question

    Hello all, so I got my phone replaced today because of a display that flickered out...satisfied that I finally had a phone again (for a day and a half I clearly couldn't use the phone since the display wouldn't turn on), I took my phone from the verizon rep and headed home. This is my third...

    Help Virtual Keyboard sometimes doesn't work

    Just wondering if anyone else runs into this problem.... Every so often, I go to type in a message, either on the pop up from handcent, or in the actual program, and no matter what I hit, the keyboard doesn't type anything. I can switch inputs from Swype to Android keyboard and usually it doesnt...

    Truth about Battery Charging

    Hey all, I was wondering what kind of knowledge you guys have about the LI-ION batteries in this badboy. I see a lot of conflicting things online, and from what I gather...you shouldn't be charging overnight, and you shouldn't frequently do full cycle discharge. So, what is the best practice...

    Syncing Play Counts to itunes

    I was wondering if there was a way to sync back information about how many times you listened to a song, to itunes on my computer. Im huge on the smart playlists, especially having my top 50 most listened to. It bothers me if I listen to a song a ton, and it doesn't climb up in the rankings...

    UID 10074 Using tons of partial wake battery?

    Hey all, I was curious if anyone else has seen this. On my last full discharge, I looked at the Spare Parts app battery history, and took a look at partial wake usage since I've read thats where you can see what apps are really draining your battery. What i saw that above everything was UID...

    Replacement phone is...worse?!

    Well I went in today to see if I could get a new battery because my battery was lasting about 7 hours with very little usage. So, after I spoke with an incredibly rude "tech" about the issue, she said well talk to customer service and they'll see if they can replace it...turned out she was also...

    Help Double and Triple Contacts

    Hello all, I know this has been talked about, I just can't find the thread (so many contact issue threads) So I'm sorry if this is redundant. When I'm texting, I get three versions of each person...all the same number, so I just choose one and text away. Not problem, assumed it was a glitch...

    Battery Not So Great

    Hey all, so my battery hasn't been the greatest since I got the phone. I got it about 5 days ago, and the battery has been getting worse. At first I could go all day with very heavy use. Now I took my phone off around 11:30 and it's now 7 o'clock. it's now at 40 percent, but I have barely used...

    issue with weatherbug, slowed my phone down

    Hey all, I just wanted to let you know about an issue I had with weatherbug that seemed pretty significant. I was browsinv the forums and ironically read about weatherbug causing some issues with the phone, but some people said they had some, most people said they didn't. So afterwards a...

    Just a curious question bout headphone jack

    I have been using my droid to listen to music in my car and its.....fantastic!! It's better than my ipod sincewith my tape deck adapter I get some fuzz at louder volumes, but the droid is crystal clear no matter what the output is. Also, my tour had issues even playing THROUGH the car adapter...

    App to bring music controls to top? Like ipod

    One thing I do like about the iphone/ipod touch is that you set the home button to double tap and have that bring up the music controls. really basic, just brings up pause/play, forward, and back...and volume. I really miss that since I'm trying to use my Droid as my main music player now, but...

    Using Browser that uses authentication in browser

    I was wondering, all my school networks have you log on once you get in the browser to show you a valid user, however, even though I have wifi on and i'm connected to the network, if I go into the browser it clearly just uses the signal I have for cell, not wifi. I'd like to have the faster...

    Droid VS Eris....help!

    Well I went to my local verizon store today, and I played around with the Droid for a good while and I thought it was great! It's my first interaction with Android, but I loved a lot of the features, and the touch screen was fantastic. But...then I played with the Eris as well, since a bunch of...

    Likelihood of swapping for a Droid

    This is a silly question, but since all of you have dealt with Verizon for a long while, I figured I'd ask the masses and see what your thoughts are. I currently have the Tour, I got it launch week with all the hardware defects that plagued most early adopters (slightly laggy track ball, loose...

    Ugh, Technology is getting to be too much!

    Well, I got my Blackberry Tour right when it came out...when it was the best smartphone on Verizon, and since it was my first smartphone, I loved it. However, I've always wanted an iPhone, just won't put up with AT&T! So, after awhile I began to grow sour about the business oriented/boring...
