    Root Thinking about rooting / ROMming. A few quick questions.

    So, I'm thinking about taking the plunge, and rooting my Droid and trying the Bugless ROM. It seems that the Bugless ROM has had enough play time to get bugless :D I have a few n00bish questions: 1) Do I need to back up my entire phone via Nandroid before I do anything else? (Though, I think I...

    This little piggy went to the Market, and came home with none.

    Has anybody figured out how to get past the Market bug that won't allow a US Credit Card to purchase an App listed with foreign currency? If I try to buy anything listed in Euros, I get an "Invalid Card" message. Thanks.

    2.0.1 ==> Bluetooth Voice Command still NO WORKY!!!

    And boy, that bytes! This is #2 on the Android bug tracker, and it needs to be fixed for those of us that need Hands-Free phone control during driving.

    Google Voice with Droid Question

    I got my invite today, too. I plan on using mine (probably mostly for voicemail organization/transcription, possibly for VOIP), but I have a question to any existing Google Voice owners that have a Google-assigned number: Google says that I can't switch between a Google-assigned number / my...

    Losing memory fast?

    I'm running the 'Free Memory' app, which is showing that I am down to 50% memory after a few Bluetooth calls or running a few apps. I thought that Android managed memory pretty well, but I'm not so sure now. Is anyone else seeing their RAM memory disappear quickly?

    Is "Navigate to a contact" possible?

    I use the Voice Universal Search a ton of times each day, and I *LOVZ IT* !!! However, there is one part of VUS that doesn't seem to work right.

    Droid, Wifi, and VOIP?

    Is there a way for me to use the wifi on my Droid to make normal phone calls (ie, call anybody) over my broadband connection when I'm at home? My Verizon signal totally sux at home, and VZ does not seem to show any interest in fixing the matter. I have a high speed connection at home, so...

    How do I find the amount of RAM in use?

    Although the Droid seems to do a phenomenal job of managing memory, I'd like to monitor it from time to time. I've installed the Memory Widget, but I think that only shows the amount of Flash in use (out of 256 MB) for storing Apps. Is there a way for me to see the amount of RAM in use?

    How To Positioning cursor when typing with on-screen keyboard?

    Is it possible? My fingers (which aren't huge) still can't position the cursor well, especially if I need to get to the middle of a word for a correction. So far, the only way I have found to position the cursor precisely is to slide out the keyboard. Am I missing something?

    Is there a Droid / Android 2.0 Detailed User's Guide?

    They sure didn't ship one with the phone. Is there a Droid (or Android 2.0) User's Guide on the web that gives detailed operation on all the Droid functions (including tips & tricks)? It sure would be handy!

    Help Bluetooth Problems?

    I have noticed with my new Droid that I have Bluetooth drop-outs with my car (Acura TL 2004) and my Jawbone 2. The call can drop for a minute or two to the handset, and then go back to the HFL device again without any warning. In addition, the voice quality over the HFL seems lacking - Very...

    Help Problems with proximity sensor?

    When I'm in a call, I move the phone away from my face to hit a button on the number pad, and the display will come back on - for a second or two, and then go black again. I may see it come back on in another couple seconds, after which it may go black again. This seems entirely random right...
