    Factory Reset and 2.2

    Hey guys, I'm selling my X and wanted to know something. I am running the original 2.2 leak, without any root or anything, and I'm wondering when I do a factory reset to give it to my buyer, will it reset to 2.2, or go back to 2.1? Any help is greatly appreciated!:D

    Lock Screen Lag Fix

    I just wanted to let everyone know about a tip that I discovered; I've been frustrated with the lag on my lock screen, but I've found out a way that got rid of mine. I just went into 'Display' and turned off the Animations and voila, no lag at all. You swipe, and it goes right to home screen...

    Anyone else getting fed up?

    :mad:Ok, I'm going to try to restrain myself from going on a rant, but I'm getting a little tired of Android and my Droid X. I'm an original Droid user, but I'm starting to envy iPhone users, which I know is tantamount to sacrilege around here. How can we still not have proxy server access? This...

    Help Weird Problems All of a Sudden

    So, my X was great and I was loving it...and then yesterday, I lost all data connectivity. I couldn't connect to anything but 1x. I went to my VZ store and after a long time on the phone with support, the rep did a factory reset, which got it working again. However, I noticed when I woke up this...

    Making sense of battery use...

    So, I just got done watching Batman: Redhood and I was really pleased to see that my battery life only dropped 10%. That's really impressive, for a full-length movie. However, I can't understand my battery use report. Google Maps, which was never running, took up 2%, and there is no report of...

    Help App for Setting Music as a Ringtone?

    Can anyone recommend a good app that will open up music as a ringtone? On my old Droid, I had Handcent and that opened it up. However, on my X, I actually kind of like the stock messaging app, so can anyone recommend an app that will do this? Thanks!

    Bloatware Thread

    Ok, I thought I would go ahead and start a bloatware thread. I'm loving the X so far, but I'm pretty turned off by the pre-loaded software that came on the phone. I thought we could start a thread about what we do and don't like, and if anyone finds out something that we can do about it, like...

    Task Switching

    For those of you who are new to Android, if you long press on the physical Home button, you'll get a list of recently/frequently used apps you can switch to. I just thought I'd throw this out there since it seems like a lot of people are getting the X as their first Android phone.

    A Question for Anyone Who Sold Their Droid

    I know this thread might deal a little more with the Droid than the X, but the question only really pertains to X owners/prospective owners. My X is coming by FedEx today, I ordered at 3:00 yesterday and must have just made the cut-off, so I am going to post my original Droid on Craiglist. My...

    Upgrade Question

    Hey guys, so I'm planning on upgrading to the X when it comes out. When I go into the store to order, do I have to pay then, or is it put on my bill? If it's put onto the bill, how the rebate payment work? Can't wait!

    Good Widget w/o Weather?

    Can anyone recommend a good widget that displays the time and date, but not the weather? I've been using Beautiful Widgets, but the weather, in my opinion, isn't very accurate. I have Weatherbug Elite, and I'd like to have something like Beautiful Widgets to display the time. Anyone have any...

    Root Need Help with Rom Manager...

    I've gotten ROM Manager all set up, and I knew that I have the SU permission set up, but I can't get it to work at all. I can Flash recovery, but when I download to install BB, it just reboots. However, it must be restoring something because it keeps showing a missed call that I've cleared about...

    Will Droid Ever Really Get Froyo?

    HTC: 'most phones' launched in 2010 will get Android 2.2 -- Engadget Notice that Motorola didn't make a statement like this; I'm leaning toward switching to an HTC device, the 2.1 upgrade drama with Motorola got pretty old after a little while. I know I know, everyone will just say to root...

    Anyone used their Droid with a car stereo's USB input

    I'm getting a new car stereo next month, and I'm thinking about getting one with a USB input in it. Has anyone used their Droid like this before? It'd be great if I didn't have to run Droid charging cable all the way to car power port, but I'd like to make sure it works before buying one. Also...

    Screen Lock Button Stuck...

    So, I went to use my phone today, and the screen lock button won't unlock the screen. I restarted, but nothing. I did a battery pull, still nothing. So, I went to the Verizon store and they couldn't get it to work either. I'm getting a new Droid sent to me this week. No real complaint, it's been...

    1/2 Hour iPad Ad

    Does anybody else on here watch Modern Family? I just watched tonight's episode and it was seriously an episode entirely devoted to the iPad, they even had an actual iPad running a birthday cake app. Man, that is some seriously blatant product placement with the release coming up...

    Can anyone help me get back to stock? I've watched the video on the update.zip, but the link isn't working to download the file. I've tried downloading DM Updater, but it keeps telling me to *make sure* to check the box giving it access, but I'm never presented with a box to check. Does anyone...

    Skype Mobile

    So, I very excitedly downloaded Skype Mobile this morning, and...I'm so pissed. You can't use it over wi-fi! You can't even use it with wi-fi enabled. I was really looking forward to using this next week when I go over to Europe, but now I can't. What a waste...:mad:

    Shift in Software Expectations???

    Yesterday's OTA drama got me thinking about software today. I was listening to the Engadget podcast and Josh Topolsky said that he was getting an iPad because was he looking forward to what it could do once it was jail-broken. Josh is a pretty big fan of Apple products, and he wants to...

    Best Solutions for Droid Opening in Pocket

    I realized yesterday that I'm killing my battery life by having my Droid sliding open while in my pocket. I never really paid attention to it, the sliding open never really bothered me, until I realized that basically my phone was sliding open, coming on, then closing, then opening again. Does...
