    Google sign-in failure regularly since 2.2

    i get this at least once or twice per day since updating the phone to 2.2 via OTA, and sometimes it's more like 5 or 6. it doesn't seem like it's a rampant problem based upon the latest threads here. anyone else have this issue? i figure doing a factory reset is my best bet but just wanted to...

    Root ugh. would like to root but seems impossible.

    went to the root forum looking to get some directions and info on how to root and then load up froyo and kranergade or whatever that theme is called, and now my head is spinning. there seems to be no instruction guide that simply tells you how to do this. there appear to be a hundred ways to do...

    otterbox scuffed up my bezel a bit

    just an fyi. not too bad, but all along the left top part of the bezel there are light scuffs. doesn't expose the metal underneath but kind of irritating because i noticed it immediately. i guess it's hard to find a case that won't mar the phone in some minor way or another. could have been from...

    Otterbox for Droid

    I got the Otterbox in the mail today. Very impressive. But I am a little concerned I haven't put it on correctly. The bottom was fairly straightforward, but the top part seems a bit iffy. It's on there fairly good but I feel like I can remove it too easily. One one side of the top piece it seems...

    no gps

    So all of a sudden today I notice the weather wont update. Then I try turning on GPS. Won't turn on. The button is lit on the power dock but no icon. Also for some reason as I type this there is terrible lag. Can GPS be unavailable in certain places? I just installed gde. Don't know if that's...

    Droid battery only reads in 10% increments?

    I'm coming from an Eris and one of the things I loved was the HTC battery widget which showed the battery life in 1% increments with a pretty little icon. I've come to find out that the Moto Droid only reports battery life in 10% increments. Have they developed any apps that are able to...

    Anyone else switch from one phone to Droid and have probs with SD card?

    I just received a brand new Droid from Verizon to replace my latest refurb Eris because of all the call problems i've had. I figured I could just swap the 8gb SD card I was using in my Eris (because it's a class 6) and put it in my Droid. But when I went to the gallery it started acting really...

    Looks like i'm going back to the Droid after all of this

    So i've been through a bunch of Eris at this point. Most of them have had silent call problems, and that was with 1.5. When upgrading to 2.1 (the one time i did it) the problem got worse. I also received 2 refurbs with scratched screens. There are a bunch of issues with the phone that have been...

    Accessories Anyone use the red verizon snap-on case?

    Saw this in the store today and thought about getting it. It looks like it's made of something like aluminum or a cheap version of it. Fairly inexpensive, too. Just wondering if anyone has used this case. I like my Seidio Innocase just fine but looking for a change. My concern is how it snaps on...

    Google Maps Force Close

    So I got yet another replacement Eris. This one seems to work just fine for the most part. However, google maps doesn't work. Every time I try and open it I get the force close message. I only have a few apps installed, and nothing different than when I had the other phones where this wasn't an...

    Thinking about going naked

    I've now gone through a few handsets because of various issues. Knowing the last one would be replaced because of a bad earpiece I decided to go without a case and screen protector for a few days. I have to say it was pretty nice. The screen is so slick without a screen protector and generally...

    Buzzing in earpiece

    I am pretty sure what's causing this, but wanted to see how common it was. I just got my replacement Eris a few days ago and it seems to be new. Everything on it works great. However, there is often a buzzing in the earpiece when people are talking, especially when the volume is at higher...

    My replacement seems to think it's a Desire ADR6200

    and so does Facebook. At the bottom of my Facebook app's homepage it says 'Download Facebook for your Desire ADR6200.' I also remember seeing something about ADR6200 on the receipt in the box that the phone came in today. I'll have to check again when I get home. Didn't think anything of it...

    Anyone gotten a refurb yet?

    My phone just doesn't want to consistently make calls (audio problem - either i can't hear the other party or they can't hear me) and I am pretty sure it's my phone as I don't hear about that happening much here. It's gotten twice as bad since upgrading to 2.1. I hate the idea of a refurb but I...

    Bank of America app not working for anyone else?

    I re-downloaded the BoA app after upgrading to 2.1 and it will open just fine, but when i select 'mobile banking' it just goes to a page saynig 'web page not available.' I was somehow able to bypass this yesterday by going to the regular website (which eventually just put me back on the mobile...

    Gap between display and housing

    The gap between the screen and housing, particularly at the bottom, seems to be pretty wide on my phone. i notice at night that light shines through that gap. Can't tell if the gap has gotten any wider. Just wondering if anyone else notices something similar. Seems like a great place for dust to...

    no audio coming through sometimes

    Anyone else have this problem? about 1 out of 4 calls the people on the other end (whether they call me or i call them) can hear me but i can't hear them. just happened again, though this time i tried 5 times in a row to make a call and it apparently went through but i had no audio. finally on...

    Replacing free apps after update

    So i've heard that somewhere in the market you can find the apps you've purchased and download them again. Still can't find that. Nor can I find any place that will show me a list of the free apps i had downloaded. not sure if the latter actually exists. anyway, where do i go to find a list of...

    Facebook chat

    With 1.5 I was able to go to the full facebook site and do the facebook chat thing at the bottom right (though it didn't often work very well). now with 2.1 i am having trouble with this. the little chat window/bar only seems to show up when i zoom all the way out, and then it kind of disappears...

    Clicking on bookmark takes me to last internet page viewed

    So this cool bookmark widget...doesn't always work. I haven't seen anyone else mention this, but sometimes when I click on one of the bookmarks i've saved (especially after browsing the internet a bit) the phone will open the browser to the last page viewed - not the bookmark I selected. Irritating.

    Can't answer call by swiping now

    So now i've got a new bug among all the other issues. When a call comes in I can't answer it by swiping down. I have to hit the green call button. This ever happen to anyone else? I will probably try and uninstall a few things and see if that helps. Just ticks me off that every so often a new...

    Anyone ever try and polish the chrome-like areas?

    I noticed some small scratches on the chrome-painted headphone jack today. I assume it's just a chrome paint and would probably wear off with even the slightest effort. But I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask if anyone has ever tried to polish something like that with any luck. Thanks.

    Swapping memory cards

    So I just got my class 6 8gb memory card and I want to make the switch. What's the best way to go about this? Should I just copy all contents of the stock memory card into a folder and then copy and past all of that onto the new card and then make the switch? Or is there a better way? I don't...

    Eris seems to be sucking more and more as a phone lately

    I love my phone but it's performing its most basic function more and more poorly lately (which maybe makes it even more like an iPhone). First there were the signal issues, which may or may not just be a software thing. The whole 3g/1x issue. And I have to admit that though I can make and...

    Poor sound quality on other end

    So my wife just tells me (5 days after the last day I have to return my phone) that lately the sound quality when I call her is terrible. She has trouble hearing me and mainly hears a bunch of background noise while my voice is kind of faint. My signal strength doesn't seem to make much of a...
