Bought the Droid Yeterday...a few issues

1. I have my hotmail accounts pushed to the phone and emails from my inbox that I have deleted on the phone repeatedly keep showing up as "new"

2. If I shut the phone off and try to charge it, it turns on. Also, the backlight stays on while charging.

3. In the (photo) gallery, all pictures are in the same folder. I can't find a way to create a new folder.

------
Any similar experiences, tips?
Thanks.

Not truly "push" email; you need to go into settings and allow for deleting from the mail client (hotmail) otherwise erasing only from handset is temp; it repopulates whatever is still in the hotmail account.

voyagerboy,

Mine does not do that. I am going to go into the store to ask them about it.

bh8690,
thanks for the reply. I am coming from Blackberry so this is new to me.

By the way, I thought I read elsewhere that the homescreen displays the local weather.
Anyone know if that is true?

Hey! This is one thing I did find out today!
If the backlight stays on when charging (mine was, too), press the power/unlock button. That will put the phone in a sleep mode, but still allow calls, alarms to work.

I had to get to motorola's second tier to find someone who knew this.

pacanis,
I finally figured it out! I was holding down the power button while charging, but instead you have to just hit it once just like when you bring the phone awake.
DUH!

I am still not sure if I am going to keep this thing...

I'm undecided, too.
I keep thinking about the good points, but not having a working voice recognition, the battery cover keeps coming off in my pocket, plus I miss my vibrate, then ring feature.
I can say I'll give it the full 30 days before I make up my mind. I need to find the right apps and I'll probably be OK. That and a piece of tape 🤣

pacanis,
I think I'm taking it back. This email issue is driving me CRAZY.

It keeps sending emails that have been sitting in my inbox for months as "new" even though each time they come to the phone I open them.

I'm going to the store tomorrow to see if they can somehow address it.

The Blackberry seemed so much easier to use...

I wouldn't waste my time with the store. Call the help # that came with the phone. You might end up getting someone like I had yesterday, but when she escalated my call I felt much better about the phone and the knowledge that person had.
