i havent made a post in a while so just wanted to bring everyone else up to speed on the new problems ive been having, started a new job in a new location and bammo no 3g coverage, so i call verizon and of course they say i should have no problems whaysoever of course, they lie, the bluetooth has gotten even worse if u can even imagine that, and i was experimenting with the video and woow that camera is horrible, its almost unusable and pixalates for more time then it streams, what else ohh ya all apps close and offer me repor to send which i do send and say very nasty things to designers, also my phone is overall exxxxtremly slow now and the icons wont even appear now, fun right, this has turned outt to be the worst purchase ive ever made, ...

Welcome back, always nice to hear from such a bundle of sunshine and joy...

3g coverage is what it is. All of the major companies are building towers like crazy (although Sprint and Verizon are spending more time lately building 4G...); but that really doesn't have anything to do with your phone.

there are options, of course, you can get cell phone repeaters, for example, and Verizon might even help you get a nanocell set up. Google nanocell for more information on that technology.

I stand by my previous assessments of your bluetooth issues. You are running so much crap in the same frequencies that bluetooth uses, and bluetooth is pretty much the lowest priority standard using those frequencies.

We have stated before, and I wi...

It records in 480p.

If it still looks bad on your device, try cleaning the lens. if it STILL looks bad, then either A) you broke something or B) your camera is bad.

Sounds to me like you tried rooting your phone, and your on a VERY old custom rom.

I have it in 480, the phone just has major framerate problems, ill post a vid I put on youtube when I get by my laptop, also I was under the impression the iphone was coming to verizon in the fall after all why would they make such a big deal for a phone that's coming to a network in 4yrs? Also when is the shadow/nexus2 coming out, and does anyone know if it will have all the same problems as the droid, because this thing overall was a complete failure, and its amazing to me that I now have 2 friends that have this awful device and they experience many of my same problems but noone here does

No one who knows anything is making a big deal

until STEVE JOBS says it, it's all just rumor and speculation.

I have no idea what you're doing to your phone, because no one on any site is having as many issues as you are.

The Shadow/Droid2 I haven't seen a release date for, but given that more than 90% of the "problems" you have had with the phone have turned out to be user error, it would not surprise me in the least to discover that, for you, it has many of the same problems, and probably some new ones as well.

It also doesn't surprise me that many of your friends have similar problems, given that ...

You also were trying to record while you were on a bike.

Exactly how many times have you dropped your phone?

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 is not there for you to tell them how much you think they suck. It is there for you to let them know just what you were doing when the FC happened. Something that might not show up in a log.

If you really are that unhappy with the phone, put it up on ebay, sell it, and switch to AT&T so you can get your iPhone. Heck I have even heard that sometimes if you...

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 to help (you'll see some threads from me trying to help a guy with an Eris...)

yeah I know. I have the Moto Droid. Maybe my pun wasn't really that good, but I do think that the Droid is an incredible piece of technology!
I bet the reason they call everything a Droid is becaus...

HA! Great point! I never thought of that.

I also think the cross-manufacturer "Droid" branding scheme is confusing and pointless. It cheapens the image of such a wonderfully powerful OS.
