Re: Swype Keyboard
Swype does not come preloaded on the TB. You can register for the beta at http://beta.swype.com/
Not sure if it is open right now or not. But I also have SwiftKey which I love! I used it since beta, and have not looked back. I guess I just haven't taken the time to really get good at Swype. When I do try using it I get aggravated on how to do some things and switch ...
Re: Notification sounds
I use handcent, and all I do is after I have saved the sound I want to use is click the little gear icon at the top right of the screen while looking at the texts from that contact. Then choose Notification Settings, Notification sound, and then pick whichever sound you want from system ringtones. Or if you want to use music you have a Music selection.
Re: morons
You are getting your precious iPhone here in a few days. Why not just quit trolling here? Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE here is tired of hearing you bash a great phone just because you do not know how to use it! All you ever done here was talk down about the phone with issues that really no one else was having. And when someone *tried* to explain to you that it was not the phone but that you ...
Re: DOWNLOAD ITUNES
There are many podcast mgrs for Android devices. Try

BTW, I am thrilled that they finally made the market to where you can search and install from your desktop!
Re: ITS OFFICIAL!!!
Thank God!
Re: SCREEN GOES BLANK DURING CALL
If you can not post something helpful then just don't. All you do is come in here and bash the phone. If you hate it so much then just don't bother coming in here anymore. Everyone here knows how you feel about the phone so just move on. Everyone here is tired of listening to you cry and whine. Please I am asking you to just drop it and move along.
Re: Root
So I am curious. Which rom are you going with, and did you have any trouble installing it?
Re: Root
In Sapphire the Gem Settings have something that does the same thing. I have SetCPU installed just because... really I don't know why I do :lol: I haven't really overclocked even though the stock kernel is overclocked to 800
Re: Root
Gotcha. Makes sense. I guess I am old school and like sprecovery since I have never had a problem with it. :)
Re: Root
I don't know why, but I forgot to mention a few apps that I feel are really "Must Have Apps".
1. Titanium Backup- Lets you back up your apps with data to your sdcard for when you switch roms you never really loose anything. It is free, but you can donate to get the ability to do mass backups and reinstalls
2. Root Explorer- most powerful file explorer. It cost about $4 in the market, but ...
Re: Root
Over at DroidForum I still see lots of people having issues with it. I mean it looks great from what I can tell, but the stories I hear just keep me from getting it.

voyagerboy said:
p.s. you people should be thanking me for being such a consumer patriot, instead of this public lynching!!
Thanking you for what? Not listening to knowledgeable people like mupi and menno? You know if you would just shut up and listen to what people are trying to tell you then you wouldn't have the issues you have had. I have no idea how old you are, but you really need to grow up and just learn how ...
Re: Root
Honestly I do not use clockwork so I know nothing about it. But in SPRecovery you
1. Rename the rom to "update.zip" minus the quotes.
2. boot into recovery
3. MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR PHONE
4. Push update.zip to /sdcard/update.zip
5. Tell your recovery to allow update.zip installation
6. Install from /sdcard/update.zip
7. Reboot
After you do this, you will not be able to log into your Google account yet. You will have to install gapps next following ...
Re: Have a Rooted Droid? Try this Rom/Theme
After you flash the ROM you will have to flash the Gapps file, but it is like that with all source builds.
You can download it from
http://wiki.ccroms.net/sapphire/release s/1.1.1
I am running 1.1.0. I just have been too lazy to update to the most current stable build. There are also many "Unofficial" builds. Only meaning that CVPCS (the creator of the ROM) didn't release it, but one of the guys on the dev team.
Re: MUPI TO RELEASE ANTI-VOYAGERBOY CAMPAIGN
voyagerboy said:the phone does not even deserve to be compared to iphone
I have to admit you are correct in this. The Droid is a must better phone than the iPhone could ever be. It would be like comparing a Pinto (iPhone) to a Bently (Droid)

Re: Have a Rooted Droid? Try this Rom/Theme
There seems to be a pretty good following for UD, but I have yet to try it out. I personally like Sapphire
Re: Root
bigjed said:
Hey Mikey. ROM Manager is a must. This will allow you to download and install different versions ("ROMS") of 2.2, some of which are very unique. It's worth the 4 bucks for the premium version, but the free version works great too. Be sure to back up your current ROM (it should prompt you to do so)before installing a new one. I really like Liquid FroYo, but Cyanogen has a pretty big following ...
Re: DLNA streaming, a quick word
Do us all a favor and just quit posting your garbage. No one here likes listening to you always bashing a great family of phones. If you hate it so much then get something else, and move on.
Re: Locking up
I agree with Menno. You might want to check your apps. My wife and I both have droids, and neither of us had any issues. If one of the apps that you were running wasn't updated to run nice with froyo that might be what is causing your issues.
Re: wtf
voyagerboy said:
since im now someone who has had 3 original droids and 2 droid 2s, i think i know more about the phone then most people in this forum
I couldn't help but laugh at this. I think by you having so many replacement due to the same "problems" that no one else seems to have shows that you have not one iota of knowledge on how to use these phones! I think you just need to quit ...
Re: droid versus original voyager breakdown
*Clap* nice post mupi! I too have never really had the issues he has had. Maybe he just needs to go back and get a phone from the early '80s since they have no features besides a phone.
Re: sorry no review for droid 2
Why am I not surprised.
Re: Extended Warranty Replacement
I have heard from some that they were sent a D2 for their D1. But I also have heard people just saying they are having issues with their phone just to get a free upgrade (not saying this is your case) only to get upset when they receive a refurbished D1.
Re: flash player
Flash is on the Market, but you can only see it if you have a Nexus One (I think). But it works from what I hear for *all* android phones. As for Flashing your browser, I have never heard of anything like that.

You can download it here if you want

Re: MY APOLOGIES IN ADVANCE.
Can't wait to hear about all the "problems" the D2 will have.
Re: for droid fans
Dude just leave and quit trolling.
Re: droid 2 suckers
You know I used to get a kick out of coming here and reading your useless posts, and laughing about the "problems" you always have. But now I am truly getting tired of hearing you do nothing but bash this phone. Just hurry up and get your iPhone and get out of this forum. I for one will not miss you
Re: THE WORST PHONE IN HISTORY!!
I think it is funny that I have never once had any of the issues you claim to have. I am always screwing around with my phone, and have yet seen the problems that you have. I can tell you that this is the best phone that I have ever had. But I will say the boards here will not be the same after you get your iCrap... uh... iPhone from Sprint

bmed10 said:
What is the rumor going around?
That if you try to root or install a custom ROM on the Droid X that it will pretty much lock the phone in bootloader mode so you can not use it. Unless you send it back to Moto, and let them do what they need to do to let it boot up normal again.
Re: To voyagerboy
Well according to this the it might just be a rumor that your X will brick. I can't upgrade for a while now so it doesn't really hurt me any. Even though I wouldn't mind having the X

Menno said:
But I heard a rumor that they locked your ESN out of using most of their towers, so who knows? 8)
Re: Shout out to Menno & Mupi....
I agree! You guys know your stuff, and deserve a pat on the back.
Re: is the droid completley useless?
OK, now I haven't had my phone very long, but I have never had any real problems with my phone. Yeah I have run into a few snags, but that is because I was doing something wrong or it was the app that I downloaded. It seems like you have had multiple issues with your camera, right? I have yet to have one issue with mine. Now the camera isn't as good as my wife's ...
Re: Question about Froyo 2.2 Install
Now if the phone does wipe, and you have to reinstall your apps, you don't have to rebuy the ones you bought already do you? Say for example you buy Beautiful Widgets, and your phone wipes. Will you have to buy it off of the market again, or will it just let you download it again since you have already bought it?
I would like to root and install the leaked version, but since my wife works for ...
Question about Froyo 2.2 Install
OK, first of all I have looked and didn’t see anything, but if I missed something I am going to apologize up front for not seeing it. But it looks like the Moto Droid will get an official Froyo 2.2 release (just not sure when). But my question is, how does the update work? Since I have only had my phone for a few weeks (and I am still a Droid newbie) I have not been ...
Re: cant believe this phone got worse
mupi said:
Welcome to the droid forum. Just want to point out, based on your pun, that this is the forum for the Motorola Droid, not the HTC Droid Incredible. Why the Big V insists on naming all the new android phones "Droid..." I don't know. Droid, Droid Eris, Droid Incredible, noy they are talking about Droid Shadow... sheesh...
Anyway, if you are in the right place, welcome. and if not, welcome anyway; we still mostly try ...
Re: cant believe this phone got worse
You know I have had my phone for a few weeks now, and I have never had any real problems that I couldn't trace back to me being an idiot. So far this phone is (excuse the pun) incredible! If you really want to have a phone with problems, go grab the phone I had before this one, Verizon HTC Touch Pro.
As for sending nasty things to the designers is very poor form! That option there ...

Sorry, but I had to! :D
Anyway my take on the question would be a Droid. I have never been a fan of the iPhone. I know a lot of people have them and love them, but I guess I just don't like the fact that you ...
Able to sync with something besides outlook?
I do not use MS Outlook and it seems like I am not able to sync with any other email client (at least none that I know of). I know you can with gmail and yahoo, but does anyone know if you can with a standalone email client such at Thunderbird?
