    Help Cannot connect to wifi - attempts to connect, then not in range.

    So during the data outage this morning, i turned on wifi to read my morning news. When i first enable wifi, i see my network with full signal strength (my wireless router is on my desk which is literally 10 feet away from me. I entered in my WEP key, it said it was obtaining my ip address...

    Help Nexus speakerphone issue?

    On the last two calls I made, I put the call on speakerphone. Immediately after doing so, the person I was talking to said it sounded very echo-y, and they could hear themselves talking. To fix this, all I did was take speakerphone off, and immediately turn it back on. Has anyone else...

    Wireless charging mat?

    Does anyone know if there are any wireless charging mats that will work with the Nexus? I believe this is possible with a NFC battery? I know there are docks, and I had a dock for my Droid 1, but it would be really cool if I could just set my phone on something, opposed to having to dock it. I...

    Help Camera - funny face effects?

    I remember seeing in the demos of the Nexus, the ability for the camera to detect faces and warp them in some odd and humorous way (i.e. make your head large, twirl your face, etc.). Has anyone figured out how to do this? I don't see an option to do these weird effects in the camera application.

    Another weird text messaging bug.

    I don't know if this has happened to anyone else, but sometimes people randomly get text messages that I had sent them previously. For example, yesterday, I text someone my dinner plans. They received the text message, and responded to it. Today, they randomly received the same text message...

    Help Droid keyboard issue...

    I recently went to the Verizon store because three of my keyboard keys were falling off my Droid. I got my phone on release day, and I was one of the people that got a Droid with the bubbly keys, opposed to the flat keyboard. Anyway, the Verizon employee told me that there was an issue with...

    FRG22D...are things running smoother?

    Since sometime in June-July, I noticed that my phone was getting rather sluggish (it probably was happening for awhile, but this is when I noticed it). For example, sometimes I would load up the web browser or Handcent, and it would take anywhere from 3-5 seconds before I could do anything...

    Help Major problem with Handcent?

    A friend of mine (who also has a Droid) uses handcent, and on several occasions, her texts go to the wrong people! So for example, she will send a text to person A, and on person A's sms thread, you can see the text message. All of a sudden, person B will respond to the message, and when you...

    Help Anyone else have this battery indicator bug?

    This is the second time this has happened to me: I had a full nights charge and barely used my phone at all today. I was just watching a hockey game and at the end of the period, I noticed my phone LED was blinking red and the battery warning came up that said it had 5% battery left. The...

    No root, Tethering and Chrome OS?

    I have not looked at Chrome OS yet so I am looking for some feedback on how to tether with it. Using a non-rooted Droid, is it possible to tether with Chrome OS? I know there are ways to tether your non-rooted Droid with Linux/Windows/Mac, but the software required will not run under Chrome OS...

    Two Questions about task killing

    I have two questions: 1.) Google Android developers have said that task killing is not needed due to the way the Android OS handles processes. Am I the only one, or does killing apps significantly increase the overall speed of the phone? For example, if I have 23mb of memory left, scrolling...

    There are definitely 2 different Droid keyboards

    My girlfriend got her Droid on Christmas, I got mine on launch day. I have heard several rumors that there are different Droid keyboards, but didn't think much of it. Last week, my girlfriend asked if she could use my phone to text her friend because she left her phone in the car. After...

    Anyway to "Update All"?

    I am just curious if there is any way to download + install all available updates? It kind of sucks when you have 12 updates available, and you have to sit there and click each app in the market, then click install, then click okay, etc. etc. etc. I am on Android 2.0 if that matters.

    Are there two verions of the Droid keyboard?

    Somebody on another forum said they returned their Droid and got another one, and says they think the keyboard feels way better. They submitted two pictures, one of their old Droid, one of their new Droid. Old Droid: New Droid: Maybe there is some type of illusion going on, but it...

    Has anyone had this happen since the update?

    After I updated to 2.01, like most people, I have found a significant increase in battery life (if you consider around 20% increase significant). That being said, this strange "bug" has happened to me twice. (Considering how much I use my phone, twice is pretty rare) I was doing something on...

    Are there any really simple apps that you would like?

    I picked up the Droid on launch day, and after playing with it for a few minutes, I really wanted to write some apps. I am putting this in the Droid forum (opposed to a more general Android forum) because I like to test code on hardware/devices I actually own, and since I own a Droid and have...

    Regarding the GMail app and receiving copies of sent mail.

    When I send an e-mail from my Droid using my GMail account with the default GMail app, it sends me a copy of the e-mail. It does not do this with my other e-mail app. This is terribly annoying. I don't want a new e-mail of the e-mail I just sent in my inbox every time I send an e-mail. Is it...

    question about facebook sync

    So I currently have it so that my facebook syncs with only people in my contacts. This has been working great so far. However I noticed that if I go to send a text message, and in the "to" field start writing a name, it will suggest facebook friends that are no in my contacts. I.e. if I put...

    Is there anyway to reset the OS to factory default?

    So I installed PandaBeta for the Droid, and although it was cool, I uninstalled it because it was lacking the features I really wanted (it is in beta after all). After I uninstalled it, my phone has been acting semi goofy, and I noticed there are some new things that show up in Taskiller that...

    Issue with shutdown that just started?

    I am wondering if anyone else has had this experience. I have read a few threads but did not find much. The other day, I was working on a paper on my computer, and my Droid was on my desk charging. My girlfriend sent me a message on the computer saying she will be over shortly, and I told her...

    I MIGHT have found my first complaint

    So since I got the Droid, I have been trying my absolute hardest to find things I don't like about it. This has nothing to do with Verizon, Google, or Motorola, I just have this "anti-fanboy" attitude towards my gadgets. (Part of my anti-fanboy attitude is a direct result of Apple fanboys)...

    Are you using a screen protector?

    I bought the Droid Screen Protectors (came in a three pack) from Verizon, and I really don't like them. Every time I touch the phone, it leaves a finger print or a smear mark where I dragged my finger, and i don't really like the texture it adds to the screen. (Maybe I applied it wrong?) Just...

    How do you justify buying a smartphone?

    I am a college student, a system administrator, a software developer, etc. In order words, most of the day I am surrounded by computers. (note: these aren't full time jobs, just stuff I do around campus when I am not in class) Unlike some people in the computing field, I need time away from...
