    Help Kindle Store poor performance

    I wanted to know if anyone else experiences extremely poor rendering performance in certain 2D applications - in this case the Kindle Store. Another that comes to mind is the accuweather application. Scrolling around on the radar map is just impossibly slow. Is this the case for everyone...

    Stick it! (video player)

    Just discovered this application today: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.myboyfriendisageek.stickit I've never seen an app able to do this before and I hope more developers figure out how. It basically makes a video player window that will stay on top of other applications. It's...

    Help Random reboots - Is this a common problem?

    I just got my 32gb grey yesterday. I've used it for about 8 hours total so far and had it randomly rebooted on me 4 times. Twice was browsing the Tegra Zone, once in the market, and once in the browser. Immediately after opening it yesterday I signed into my google account, stopped it from...

    Camera Flaws Mostly Software? [Pro Capture]

    So it's well known that Motorola doesn't make the best cameras in their phones and the Bionic's seems to be pretty underwhelming as well. I've tried quite a few different camera applications with varying results. The one included in leaked motorola builds is definitely the fastest but the...

    Help Flash not working in Opera Mobile

    Flash is enabled in the settings. User agent set to desktop. Every website I've been to tells me I have to download the correct plugin. Flash works fine in the stock browser and Dolphin HD but I prefer the UI in Opera. Am I missing something here? I am tempted to root just to reinstall Flash.

    Partial Touch Screen Failure - Should I Replace the Droid?

    So my beloved Droid is finally starting to show her age. Part of the touch screen has failed on the very right side of the screen as can be seen here: The phone is still fully functional other than this and appears to be one of the better units out there (runs perfectly stably with 1.2ghz...

    Droid vs Droid 2 - video comparison [www.droid-life.com / Android and Me]

    This is already on the Android News & Talk forum but I figured it deserved to be here as well. I found it on Droid Life (Video: Droid 2 Compared to Droid 1, Not Many Differences | Droid Life: A Droid Community Blog) Looks like Kellex found the video on Android and Me - Google Android phone...

    Root 2.2 and CPU Temperature Sensor

    In any of the new 2.2 ROMs is there any way to get TempMonitor and/or SetCPU to read from the CPU temperature sensor yet? Flash tends to make the phone pretty warm and I'd really like to know how hot the CPU is getting. A failsafe profile in SetCPU is essentially useless if it can't read the...

    Root ESPN3 blocking Verizon Wireless? :(

    I'm running the leaked 2.2 with flash installed. I was hoping to be able to watch world cup games on ESPN3.com when not at home. It appears to work just fine when on WiFi but if I try to use my 3G connection the website says the ISP is not supported :( Does anyone else encounter this problem...

    Root Prevalence of Tethering - Will There Be Repercussions?

    It seems to me that as more people get Android devices through Verizon, tethering is getting talked about more and more. People ask about it and others answer "oh yeah use PDANet it's great I use it all the time" "sure root your phone and replace your satellite internet with a wifi tethered...

    Where are pre-loaded wallpapers located?

    I'd like to know where the pre-loaded wallpaper images are located on the Droid. Somewhere in the system folder perhaps?

    Root BB 0.9 - Setting to keep home launcher in memory?

    Is there a checkbox somewhere that I've missed that will keep the standard launcher in memory? Each time I leave the home screen for another app and come back I'm having to wait for icons and widgets to load. I know cyanogen has a checkbox somewhere but this is the first time I've tried one of...

    Root Why is ESE81 better than ESE53 or ERE25?

    I understand that it is an update designed specifically for the Droid, but apart from having a Droid specific baseband (which can be flashed separately) is there actually any reason to base ROMs on ESE81 instead of ESE53 or ERE25?

    Cell Standby AKA Time without a signal - What's the deal?

    I only just noticed that about 75% of my battery is being used by "Cell standby" and I have a 50% time without a signal. I just rooted about a week ago and before then I'm pretty sure whenever I checked I had 0% time without a signal. I'm not sure if it is certain roms or kernels or what...

    Skype Mobile resetting Home Button

    I searched to see if there was a thread on this specific issue or if it was answered in the Skype Mobile thread but couldn't find anything. Whenever I use Skype Mobile it seems to reset my Home button (as if I had gone to the application manager and reset to defaults) so I have to keep...

    2.1 Media Gallery and App Launcher (.apk files for 2.0.1 - no rooting needed)

    Linked are two .apk files I found on these forums somewhere (I'm sorry but I don't remember where exactly). I did not source either of these, they were both on external sites linked by other people on these forums and I would give credit if I remember where I found them. I don't take any...

    The (non existant) ultra low light qualities of the Droid video camera

    This was me flying the aircraft with a female pilot in the right seat (the one holding the camera) around the mission beach area at night. It was set to "night" mode. As you can see, it's just a mess. I think the "UFO" is actually my red flashlight in the side pocket - needed for night flying...

    I live in San Diego and after customarily restarting my phone (after installing and removing a bunch of apps) my phone no longer receives signal and keeps restarting itself. If I try to go to the mobile network settings it just hangs and then resets after a while. Anyone else having/had issues...

    Your Droid Version vs Your Droid Experience Poll

    From reading the posts here it seems like some people have horrible problems with their droids regarding battery life, random resets and programs force closing. I have had none of these problems and it seems that those who have might have had earlier batches. Mine is 42/09 and I have no...

    Fingerprints on camera lens cover

    Since the glass covering the lens for the camera is flush with the back of the phone, with my droid I constantly have fingerprints all over it just from holding the phone. With such a tiny lens, a tiny bit of grease from your fingerprints can completely ruin videos and pictures. Things like...
