Motorola DROID

Sounds like a good way to get your car keyed.

Oh the sad part is I AGREE! They are too _____ to come to the door and actually be a man. They would rather be a further _____ and become more destructive. I have NEVER tolerated theives or vandals. I have even called out people in stores that are sticking ____ in their pockets. I honest to God would rather have someone assault me then touch my property that I have worked hard to earn. That to me is one of the ultimate _____ slaps to the face.

If no one knows the answer to my question...you could say you dont.

What happens if you go into the market, press the menu button, select downloads, find the app and then hit open?

Ok I have a question. Im trying to put the Iron Man ADW theme on my droid X and I downloaded the ADW Launcher...but I dont know how to open it......anyone know how?

I'm not familiar with ADW myself, but is there any options from the settings/configure menu? What file extension is the file you can't open?

I'm not positive, but I would assume you'd need root in order to theme any launcher.

I'm not an ADW guy, sorry. Launcher Pro for me.

Woke up this morning and my phone was ready for Android 2.2. Camera is a lot better and flash support (finally).

 

[King Darkness]

Must have been a heavy use month for me, I pushed my usage all the way up to 1.14 gigs.

Nice to see the 2.2 rolling out. There are a ton of things you will gradually find that have been update/overhauled.

 

[mr.thrifty]

The update has made this phone bad a$$...

The YouTube videos load up in full screen and in HD in seconds..... I test phones out by seeing how long it takes to load the Iron Man 2 trailer in HD...

Camera actually takes good pics now.

Speed? a lot faster...

Is there a way to disable the camera sound?

Alright, what's the best way to transfer files to the X. Kabuki didn't you say you set something up to where you never have to plug anything in, you can do it over the air?

Right now I'm using the dropbox app. I put music in the folder from my PC, access it on my X, but for whatever reason I can't make the music available to use as ringtones after I download it. If I long press on a song and then hit "move" I have no idea where it moves to. It just says move, I confirm and it says file is moved?

I was mostly talking about contacts, calendars, etc., but you can move music around over the air too. The way dropbox works, is you need to download the file to the dropbox on your phone with a long-press in the dropbox app. After that, you can use Astro File Manager to navigate to your local dropbox folder:

/sdcard/dropbox

And then you can find the file you downloaded in there. Once you find the file, you can long-press it and select move. (I assume this is where you are now) "Move" should really be called "Cut" because it moves the file to your clipboard where you can paste it anywhere else you want. In the case of ringtones you want:

/sdcard/media/ringtones

For notifications: /sdcard/media/notifications

Hope that helps.

For the love of ____ thank you Kabuki. I wasted all night last night trying to figure that out. I'd go into Astro and for the life of me couldn't figure it out. Thanks a billion.

You have to put the phone on silent or vibrate....

The Droid X froyo build just got leaked. It's popping up all over the internets like wildfire. I'm gonna wait for the OTA though, it can't be too far away now.

Here are some instructions if you're feeling adventurous: https://androidforums.com/motorola-droid-x/154240-how-installing-froyo-2-2-a.html

I recommend reading that whole thread so you're aware of the risks.

I'm starting to wonder if something is wrong with my phone. I've not been able to make it through a day on a charge yet. It's 3:20 and I'm already down to 40%.

edit: I keep my brightness turned down to 0%, I don't run an app killer because everything I've read said they are bad, I guess I'm closing out of programs after I run them, I put the battery in straight out of the box and used it until it died and then full charged and it's been like this since. I use launcher pro, a regular wallpaper not any of the live ones, beautiful widgets with live weather. I'm not sure what the deal is but surely my battery life is supposed to be better than this right? The other day I went from 20% to dead in about 10 minutes while on a phone call with the screen off and everything.

Another quick question about dropbox. Is it possible to take a video with my phone and put it in dropbox on my phone and be able to access it from my laptop, or is it only from PC to phone? If so how would I do that? Thanks.
