So I bought the Camera Zoom FX app. Took me a while because $5 is expensive for an app with no free trial version. Seems to have solved my issues with the camera. It now has way less lag in opening the camera and taking pictures is much better. I ran some tests on my memory card (speed...

So I've had two glitches in my D3 and maybe they are related. Wondering if anyone has seen this. 1. My camera doesn't save photos consistently. Sometimes I will take a pic or video and it snaps the pic and shows the little thumbnail of it in the upper left. Then when I tap on that to view it...

Totally agree about being really stable. I'm very pleasantly surprised about that. Camera isn't fun though.

I apologize for this rant but I really want to know if I'm the only one.... I know this is a great phone and I really like Sprint. This isn't a knock on the hardware. However, every time I see this phone advertized I cringe on behalf of Android people when they say the name. And they ALWAYS...

I got this phone after the Samsung Continuum (one of the first galaxy S phones). It's waaaay more stable and has way less moments of lag than I expected. And I don't restart it often, am running stock, and don't bother to actively try to manage what programs I may have left open. This is...

I was a long time treo/bb user and thought I would always want the compact keyboard also. I do miss it sometimes but would never go back from my droid3. About 80% of the time I use the on-screen keyboard. The difference between soft and hard keyboards for me is about the text prediction. I...

I know another person with the D3 who has trouble getting out of 'sleep'. It'd just be really glitchy sometimes. Perhaps that was fixed with the update. I don't think I've ever used it and am having a hard time imaging when I would.... Does anyone here use it a lot? The standby time is...

Like you, I prefer outlook calendar to google when on the PC. However, I also want to access and update my calendar(s) from anywhere and grew tired of the unreliable syncing of trying to get outlook to sync down and up to google. Usually I'd come up with some 3rd party software that would work...

I used to use a task killer a lot (I'm still new to android) but have realized that a program being 'open' but not active doesn't necessarily slow down the phone. Like if you have 500mb of ram, whether you have 400mb or 300mb of open-but-idle apps really should not make a performance diff for...

I'm new at Android, so forgive me if I'm not adding to this discussion. I'm guessing your 'standby' battery drain is software settings and has little to do with hardware. I have a Continuum and am looking to switch to Droid 3. My battery performance has been all over the place and got way...

Thanks, that decides it for me. Was debating whether or not I wanted a real keyboard again. I like everything about android except the data entry. I know that the side keyboards require two hands but at least it will be nice to quickly input text and forget like the good old days with the...

What is it about Web OS that made it so great? Would it be easier to just make a really nice launcher that simulated Web OS?

Hmmm....Blackberry hardware running WebOS with the ability to run android apps? We can all dream. Of course didn't blackberry already copy a lot of WebOS's secret sauce for QNX? I use a blackberry for work and android for personal after several years of Palm Treos. I STILL miss a lot of...

Thanks also, I think I'm about to jump to the darkside as well. I think I'm willing to risk warranty fail just to de-bing and de-bloat it....

We didn't buy a bad phone, we got a raw deal from Samsung/Verizon. It's actually a very good phone and I like the ticker, which is why this 2.1 business is so frustrating. Pretty much every review of the Continuum when it came out in November gave it top marks, some sites even ranked it above...
