    Incoming call question -- do both speakers activate?

    I work in a very noisy environment. For incoming calls on on phones with dual front-facing speakers like the moto x style and nexus p, do both speakers operate, or does the incoming caller's voice only play through the top speaker by default?

    Tab can't handle heavy flash sites?

    If you go to a heavy flash site, as those on wix.com -- does it operate smoothly? My wife has a few beautiful sites built with wix, but we couldn't get them to do much at BestBuy last night. Videos wouldn't play, no pinch to zoom, etc. The salesrep blamed the wifi connection. My wife...

    Help Is there a message indicator / blinking light?

    Been considering making the big switch from Droid to Streak, but I read a few reviews for this mega-screen phone and saw that you can not tell if you missed a message without turning on the phone and checking for missed calls or text... is that true? Also, many complaints that the screen...

    You gotta be kidding, right?????

    Do they have a section here on the forums for "Absolutely Insane"? I know that this is off-topic, but since there are quite a few iPad fans that frequent this board because they love them some Droid just as much, I had to post this video for their (and your) viewing pleasure. Watch, and be...

    Cool new weather app...

    Ok, well, at least I think it's new. It's got a bit more razzle-dazzle than the standard weatherbug or weather channel type of apps. It's called Palmary Weather and you can try it at the marketplace or at Palmary Weather for Android - AndroidZoom.com Click the menu for animated radar and other...

    Amazing home screen video...

    This app is called iHome. It's got mixed reviews, but the 3D effects border from awesome to maybe a bit over the top... Still, shows a lot of creativity and potential. This isn't demonstrated on the Droid, but shows that it is available in the marketplace. I've gotten my phone tweaked just how I...

    YouTube upload -- why WIFI ONLY?

    Droid can only upload vids to YouTube by wifi... is that an Android thing or a limitation caused by Verizon's abilities (inabitlies?). Not a severe problem, but I was so used to posting vids for work as the fastest way to get a QC problem resolved for co-workers across the state. I'd post a...

    The magic is in the Droid keyboard?

    Rookie-noob question... My wife is thinking to make the big switch from original iPhone to something with Android. She loves my Droid, but she's also had her eye on the Nexus One and possibly, the new Motoroi that may come out in March. (Kinda like Droid plus 8mp camera, HDMI out, HiDef...

    Crazy car-charger pricing....

    I haven't bought one yet, but I've seen them dangling from display stands, posted on Ebay, the check-out line of the corner drug store, gas stations... I've seen them from 76 cents at Amazon to $35 for multi-use chargers. Are they all pretty much the same thing, or are there recommended...

    Big jump in video quality with Sholes!

    I wasn't having much luck with the video recording, but saw a thread on how to improve the quality with a few modifications. Thread here: http://androidforums.com/motorola-droid/39706-higher-quality-video-recording.html It suggested that I change the bps from 300,000 to 800,000. I couldn't...

    Do the Verizon and Motorola wizards read these forums?

    If so, do you think they shake their heads in disgust that we have to change or enhance everything they do? :mad: Or do they glow with pride, knowing that they have developed something that struck a creative chord with soooooooo many people... and that their product is something we just can't...
