    Some D2G issues....

    That reminds me - I also whacked most of the motoblur widgets including the social networking app (constant updates were a mega drain). Now, I just use the Facebook app/widget that I downloaded and things are much better. While the motorblur messaging (e-mail) app/widget is probably also a...

    Some D2G issues....

    I am getting a full day with the extended battery and pretty heavy (although NOT constant) use. This is with low screen brightness, Juice Defender and SetCPU. Full synch is on and with the screen off Juice Defender turns on data for 1 minute every 15 minutes but data is on full-time when the...

    Some D2G issues....

    I have the extended battery but I have used it from day 1 so it is hard for me to say. Based on what I had read here before I purchased I thought it would be worth it right away. I can't imagine battery life without it even with all my battery usage optimizations.

    [Official] D2 & D2G Battery Life Discussion

    Hard to say but Juice Defender (which does NOT require you to root) claims somewhere between 1.5x and 2.5x improvement over normal battery life depending on when I look at it during the day (it samples over 48 hours). I'm not sure what % SetCPU helps with but it is SO easy to try it that I...

    Some D2G issues....

    What custom ROM are you using on the D2G? If this really makes THAT much of a difference in battery life then I am there.

    switching from blackberry...

    So I have switched from my Storm over to the D2G and I also love it so far. However, I am concerned with the amount of tweaks I have had to do with this phone to get through the day on one charge. With my Storm I never really worried about charging even if I was on the phone alot and checking...

    D2G Autorotation or Home Screens

    So even though I have auto-rotation set for my D2G it doesn't seem to work for the home screens. If I turn the screen apps like the calendar, messaging, etc switch fine but when I am on a home screen the only way to get that screen to switch to landscape is for me to open the keyboard...

    D2G Poster at DIA

    Here is a cool pic of a D2G and Droid Pro ad that I took at Denver International Airport (DIA) today. Very similar to the other ads that people have posted. Fun to take a pic of a D2G on a D2G. :) I also saw a pic about Verizon 4G/LTE at DFW today. Didn't take a picture b/c I was running to...

    [Official] D2 & D2G Battery Life Discussion

    You need to root the phone (I used z4Root) and then download the app. Highly worth it and this is the only reason I rooted (no custom ROMs for me).

    Motorola Accessory Sale!

    A new door is required and it should come with the battery (I have an extended battery). From what I understand it is currently only available in blue so if you have white I am not sure what you do. FYI, the extended battery barely impacts the size or weight of the phone and it adds quite a...

    360 view on Verizon's site

    Maybe it just IS the new every 2 credit. I did end up getting the phone for $99 minus a promotion code I found online for TWENTY off. It might have something to do with the amount of revenuw but the last phone I got didn't have the $100 additional credit.

    360 view on Verizon's site

    Too late for me... I already ordered the D2G since the Merge failed to materialize this morning. I just couldn't take all the ups and downs. If it comes out in the next 30 days and is significantly better than the D2G I will take the $30 hit and return the Droid but I doubt that will sway me...

    D2 Global - 720P video capture

    Gotcha. It looks like I got all excited about 720 x 480 for nothing. I wonder if Gingerbread willl enable 720P recording in D2 Global. I also wonder whether the Merge already does 720P. On a rooted D2G is there a ROM out there that enables 720P recording?

    D2 Global - 720P video capture

    I haven't anyone else mention this but the D2 Global specs indicate that it can capture DVD D1 video which according to Wiki and several other sites is a 720 x 480 resolution. That sounds like 720P to me which if it is true (and Veizon says it is) would mean that this phone nows matches the...

    HTC Merge delayed -- to get LTE?

    Oh the wait... Man I really want to see if the Merge comes out this month but I have been itching to dump my Blackberry Storm since August. I also bought a D2 back then but a store tech told me about the Pro/Global so I held off. If is now November and I can't wait much longer. If this...
