    Root Failed 2.3.3.40 OTA update help!?

    Ok, so I'm not a noob but I'm feeling like one. I rooted my Droid X several months ago using Z4root. I deleted some bloatware, but very conservatively - only the usual suspects like Amazon and CityID. So anyways, I reinstalled the Bloat following the method advised in the thread titled "How...

    Accessories Just installed Zagg Invisible Shield, thoughts for Droid X

    So my only other experience with screen protectors was on my iphone 3G with a Power Support crystal film that adhered by static cling and I liked that film fairly well, except they were only good for about three months. The Invisible shield is new to me with the spray and setting technique...

    Help Android browser turning grey?

    Lately with more and more frequency the stock browser on my X turns gray. This happens when I click links from within an app, and sometimes when I click bookmarks. I'm not sure what's doing it exactly but it could be related to data interruption? Usually I will switch off the wifi and just use...

    Fast charge with phone off

    This may not be very new or exciting to most people, but I wanted to throw out there that the DX charges off the wall via USB when the phone is off. Perhaps other Android phones did this, but I went directly from the iphone to the original Droid and sorely missed this feature. Well, it looks as...

    Droid X shipping with 2.1 intentionally?

    I just can't help but wonder if the Droid X is going to be released with 2.1 deliberately. I mean, of course its deliberate but I believe it can be considered a Vanilla class device, so it kinda makes sense. Look at it like just another way to beat out the iPhone 4, since there will undoubtedly...

    Disable 2.1 popup update notification?

    Can someone please tell me how to disable the automatic 2.1 popup that is constantly displayed every time I unlock my phone? I imagine it would be something like renaming a certain file, but I guess I'd have to know the name of the correct file first.

    Anyone know of an app or widget that goes directly to call in progress?

    Does anyone know of an app or widget or shortcut or SOMETHING that acts as a quick jump back to your call in progress? It's really annoying to have to swipe down on the action bar, press call in progress, and hit "call in progress" once again. All that just to get to the...

    My music constantly cuts out when I receive a text message. Anyone know how to make this stop quickly without going into all the phone's settings and disabling everything? Or using the volume rocker? Thanks.

    Nexus gets hooked up, what about Droid?

    Now I'm starting to wonder if Motorola or Google even plan to continue support for the Droid after reading this article. At first I wasn't alarmed when the update didn't come in January, just thought "hey maybe later than everyone has been saying." Now I am not so sure after the Nexus taking...

    If you know what the Crunch Pad *was, you'll enjoy this

    EXCLUSIVE: New ‘Arrington 2.0′ to Debut at CES I'd like to hear your thoughts....not like I won't though! I just think its kind of funny but sad how the crunch pad went down - or didn't. Now tablets are supposedly all the rage. And Mr. Arrington must be EN-raged.

    Help Ok so what IS the Droid made of?

    Sadly, I dropped my Droid last week at the gas station. We've all heard that the frame is made of metal but I'm not so sure. Basically, I think the Droid's frame is made out of some sort of composite (graphite?) type material. I'm at work so I'll take detailed pictures when I get home...but this...

    Gmail app TERRIBLE!

    Believe me when I say that I never thought in a million years it would be possible to have a smartphone with a worse mail app than the iphone. Then the Droid came. I mean come on! We can't save pictures, can't batch delete, hell we can't even click most links! Maybe I'm venting a little, but...

    Dedicated camera button now takes me to messages app?

    I am wondering why now, all of the sudden my camera button is taking me to the messages app. It didn't used to be like. Is there some settings I might be able to change? I haven't messed with anything as far as I know but this is pretty annoying. By the way, the camera still makes its startup...

    Beautiful picture of SF Bay Bridge free for you to enjoy, taken with Droid.

    Hi everyone, I snapped this photo of the Bay Bridge the other day from Treasure Island, San Francisco one of my first few days with the Droid. I was testing out the camera but I ended up putting the picture as my background. I could't believe how good it looked, especially how it meshes with app...

    App Or method for quickly adding a contact?

    Hi, I have searched the Android store, and also searched these forums but maybe some more advanced Droid users can help me find an answer. As with the iphone, inputting a new phone number within seconds is rather difficult on the Droid. That got me wondering if there were any third party apps...
