    Help (VZW) Facebook account won't add properly.

    Has anybody figured this out? I'm on 4.0.4 as of this morning, and tried adding my Facebook accounts under "Account & Sync" in the phone settings, but it doesn't work. It loads up the Facebook app and just hangs on the blue loading screen. I'm assuming this is a problem with the app itself and...

    Help Force mono Bluetooth streaming?

    I have this odd problem when I connect my Nexus via Bluetooth to my car stereo. The vehicle is a 2012 VW CC with the stock VW sound system. When some songs stream that have explicit left/right stereo tracks, often times I won't hear even a peep from one of the tracks. All of the speakers...

    GNex VS Nexus S - Hardware issues

    I'm just curious. How many people were Nexus S owners here (I was not)? I've seen a lot of complaints about this phone and almost all of them are hardware related - bad battery, weak speaker, popping speaker, lousy radio, data signal loss, bad reception, cheap physical build quality. Did the...

    They weren't joking about the battery.

    First day with this phone that I basically bought as an emergency replacement to my now dead OG Droid. This battery is no joke. How do you guys do it? 4 hours with VERY minimal use, only 3g on, all possible background notifications turned off, screen at 10% brightness, no task killer. GPS...

    Help Anyone found a way to stream music from the phone to a PS3?

    I've been trying to find a way to stream music from my Droid to my PS3 so I can listen to it on the system in my living room. I've run into a couple of problems and haven't been able to find a method that works. First of all, the PS3 doesn't support the A2DP Bluetooth profile, so music...

    Root Why do you suppose Motorola kept the Droid clocked so low?

    I've been wondering this for a while. Ever since we originally got access to overclocking kernels, I've though to myself - wow, this phone is capable of a lot more than it purports to be. I can't imagine this was a business or persuasive upgrade decision, because the company didn't release a...

    Help Dinc Bluetooth problem

    I have a relatively new Sony XPLOD with BT in my car. My Droid has never had a problem detecting or connecting to it, nor have several other phones. My friend tried to connect with his Incredible the other day, and it didn't even see the radio as a Bluetooth device. Any idea why this would...

    Root Any word from Pete on BB 0.5?

    I know there's been some speculation floating around that Pete is not going to be developing for the D1 anymore since he's acquired an Inc and a DX, but I don't know how true that is. Has anyone seen any posts from him on any of the other forums indicating whether or not he is working on a new...

    How many Motorola owners will switch to HTC?

    I've never really been a fan of HTC in general, nor do I like the Sense UI they plop over their Android devices. Since the original Droid came out, I've been a happy camper with Motorola's first offering in the Android ecosystem. I have to say, I was very excited to find out that both the...

    Benchmark scores?

    Heyo Droid X owners. I'm just curious - for any of you who already have the device - have you run any benchmarks? I'm curious to see how the updated processor is relative to my old Droid 1. Quadrant, Linpack, Benchmark Pi, any or all would be fine. I'm contemplating a switch to the X if the...

    Root Anyone had the mystical black screen problem?

    I've had this problem a few times with previous ROMs. It's never anything persistent, it just happens once in a great while. Basically what happens is - while the phone is on - the screen stays black. When you try to power on the screen with the power button, the lock screen never comes up...

    Root Eek! P3 Kernel - Abysmal battery life.

    I'm trying out Kangerade 1.0 right now. Decided to replace the stock kernel with the P3 kernel, since I haven't really had time to test anything else with Froyo so far. Anyways, battery life is just terrible. I only have it clocked at 900 (previous ROMs I was always using 1.1) because...

    Root Applying MM themes and losing the virtual keyboard

    As the title says. Has anyone found a fix for this? I tried reinstalling the APK but that doesn't work. The keyboard is gone and doesn't show up in my list of keyboards under settings.

    Root Who's used Koush's ROM?

    I haven't seen or heard anything about it here, but it's been up on AllDroid, and I'm thinking about giving it a shot when I get home. Any feedback on it from users, preferably compared to the current ESE53 ROMs that have been floating around?

    Root Anyone getting "Incompatible Update" with certain apps in ESE ROMs?

    I think I may know why this is happening, but I don't feel like doing a full nandroid reinstall and losing my data before I ask. I'm getting "incompatible update" errors when trying to reinstall Facebook and Mixzing. Now, I had those apps installed and working on my previous ERE25 based ROM...

    Root Unzipping ROM files

    Has anyone been able to successfully extract a RAR file on your phone with any application? I like to play with my phone while I'm at work, and I've been able to do update.zip upgrades to the BB ROM on the phone itself since the files don't need to be decompressed, but I can't unzip a RAR for...

    Root Noticeable heat at 1000, not at 950.

    So, I had my phone at 800 for a while, rock solid stable, no problems. Then I went to 950, still stable, no problems. Tried 1000 today, barely up from the 950, and after a few minutes the back of my phone was getting seriously warm. Weird. I have the same max/min and profiles set, but just...

    Root What specifically can and can't we link to?

    Per the forum rules, we obviously can't be linking to anything that would be considered closed source. I assume this means no linking to a specific ROM file since they include closed source applications. Can we still link to things like SPRecovery, root files and such? Since they're...

    Silly 2.1 keyboard stole my comma key

    So, the 2.1 keyboard that's included with a lot of the ROMs has the voice dictation feature. They decided to stick the key for it right where the comma used to be, right? I could've sworn there was a comma there before. It's been driving me crazy too, because I like to punctuate my text...

    OC'ed Droid VS Nexus One

    So, I got a chance to use the N1 today. A coworker brought it in; brand new, no apps installed. The thing is pretty damn fast. Definitely faster and smoother than my Droid was stock. So the story starts with him asking if I'm impressed with the speed. He's been talking down my phone ever...

    Anybody actually still running a 2.1 ROM?

    Just curious. With Sholes and Beast seeming to be the two most popular/stable/useful ROMs right now, is there anyone around here who's still running 2.1 on their Droid? I don't know why exactly I'd want to at this point, just would like to know.

    Finally rooted, and...

    Sweet. I finally rooted my phone after much debating with myself. I did it last week after I realized that the Jan 22nd 2.1 was not coming. I flashed the most recent Bugless Beast ROM today that is set at 800mHz by default. No problems with the install. Couldn't be more happy. I didn't...
