So I thought to help the madness on the others threads that we could make one with all of the pros and cons we have seen in the new official update to help people see what they should do as far as force it or root and etc.
Pros: More polished and faster
Flash capable
much faster browser
apps...
So I have had my droid since launch day and usually had enormous data usage from 7Gb-11Gb on average. I was never rooted or tethered and used wi-fi anywhere I could including for Pandora at home. I just got a brand new droid since my headphone jack went out and they ran out of refurbished units...
So I went to the Verizon site to check the LOST exclusives and saw the droid sporting the V-cast logo and saying we can get a free month trial. SO I go to the v-cast video page and click on compatible phones and there it is the droid and all blackberries and the ERIS. SO can anyone tell me how...
So I was browsing their site for a car mount and saw this gem lol. THe media dock and charger for home, the car mount and a car charger for normally 90 dollars on sale 40 dollars off for 50. Quite a steal IMO, just thought I would share. Enter your location

Google updates Nexus One page, tells Verizon customers to get a Droid Incredible instead (update: the Verizon Nexus One is dead) -- Engadget
So the Verizon Nexus One has officially been canceled. They say to buy the incredible if you want a phone as powerful as the Nexus One lol. However this...
So believe me I know that Verizon can not do data and voice at the same time but I have always wondered how when say I update my prl via *228 how does the file come to the phone without using data? Some sort of data has to be used to download this file. Does anyone know how this works? Also if...
So we are finally getting the app for only the droid and nexus one for now! Sorry all of you who switched to the incredible since the droid is still on top lol! No the incredible is great but the droid is not gone!! Sirius XM app for Android 'coming soon' -- Engadget

I am not kidding here but when my droid gets warmer from outside heat or from being near a heater ( I live in a dorm and my vent is right next to me and part of the desk lol, No I do not stick my droid in heaters lol), the keyboard gets more raised and clicky feeling and when it is cold from...
So I know people have posted before but it does not seem that there is much current news on the fm radio being unlocked and having an app made for it. Does anyone have any idea on the progress? Also I KNOW that the droid has an FM receiver chip so do not say well the droid doesn't have one and...
Ok so as the title says I am at 9.3 gb at this moment and I still have 5 days left in the month. I have not done ANY tethering!!!!! Firstly am I going to be flagged for such excessive usage?? Secondly can anyone explain what could cause this. At the end of the months I never go past 3-4 gb at...
So on a normal month of usage I may if I use it a lot get to 3GB of data. Now I know for some this is not a lot but my point is not how much is actually being used but the amount it has increased with this update. So I am only two weeks into this month and have had the update for about 5 days...
This is really cool for me at least because I have a good friend who is in Costa Rica for a year and I can also use this to call my parents for free minutes since they are on AT&T with an Iphone and could just use wifi at home. I just thought I would share the good news!!
HTC EVO 4G is Sprint's Android-powered knight in superphone armor, we go hands-on -- Engadget
Ok WTF this is out of a dream!!! I mean wow I can not wait to see if Verizon can come up with something next year this good or better. Droid 2 perhaps?? :D
Is it just me or is the Iphone pretty much...
So I have been having a LOT of problems with very spastic 3g. I have opened two trouble tickets and they say the network is fine and no one else I know has complaints so... So what my droid does is bounce around the towers and move bars like a techno music equalizer and it drives me nuts because...
Sounds like a cop out to me but maybe it is the reason they removed the coming first half of 2010 on the flash dialog on the droid? Quoted from Engadget:
"
As you may have noticed, there were a few reports making the rounds earlier today that suggested Flash 10.1 for Android would be limited...
So my droid has been going rogue on me with horrible 3g service and the most random headphone issues so I had a trouble ticket made to check the 3g network in the area and decided to go back to my blackberry storm which ironically works very well with 3g here as well as a major improvement in...
I have a problem on my droid where when I use headphones it crackles and is really annoying. I have a pair of Bose over the ear headphones that have no issue on any other source however on the droid the crackling make me want to throw it across the room. Although many would jump to hardware, the...
So when you go to the *#*#4636#*#* menu there are copious amounts of things referencing gsm and gprs? You can change the mode to gsm only and wcdma and all this gsm stuff that doesn't work! If your connected to the 3g it says the gprs network is connected?? There is no gsm so why does it say...
So I was walking the track outside for about an hour and it was pretty foggy and I had the droid in my hand the whole time so it was exposed to the fog. When I think about it now that was probably stupid but I never dreamed fog would have such an effect. After I got inside about thirty minutes...
So I know that there was a bug where you could answer a call through the lock screen but I am having an issue where whenever the screen goes dark with the proximity sensor, it locks the phone and I can't even change volume without sliding to unlock. I have to press a physical button for the...
Hey guys I am new here but I have a question for y'all? I normally live in Houston so I obviously have service there but I go to Texas Tech in Lubbock where this used to be alltel. Now the weird thing is that both the voice and text network (a.k.a the one with no signal next to the bars on the...
