    Anyway to hide pictures?

    Just drop a file called ".nomedia" into the directory with the pics you want hidden (or music files, or whatever.) That pretty much does it - you can still get there with Astro but none of the default Android apps will see the media files.

    Corporate Email Force Closes

    This happened to me recently. The problem seemed to be that I got an email that my droid didn't like. I'm not sure what was wrong with it, Outlook liked it just fine, but it messed my Droid up enough that I couldn't open ANY emails from ANY account. Delete your inbox messages or move them out...

    FREE Droid Battery Doors - From Verizon

    My wife's droid had a loose battery cover, mine doesn't. I compared them VERY carefully and her battery is SLIGHTLY thinner than mine. This is what made the battery cover loose. I put two pieces of electrical tape over the bit of material in the middle of her battery cover. This seemed to...

    E-mail problems

    I had this issue earlier and researched it. If you get a bad message (not sure what "bad" means except that the Droid hates it) then this problem happens. The issue for me was figuring out what the bad message was. I deleted some messages on my exchange server, and when I eventually deleted...

    Going mute during calls?

    My wife's droid has a habit of going mute during phone calls. The screen turns off properly, I checked that and have had her watching for it. But it's a fairly regular occurrence - she'll be talking and pow! Mute! I have no idea how it's happening, she doesn't think she's hitting any buttons...

    Invisible shield

    I got mine installed at the mall, MUCH easier and no bubbles. I asked him if he had some extra scraps before I did as I was worried about touch sensitivity changing, and he did and I put some on half the screen and left half the screen as it was, and I could not see a difference in touch...

    Dock changes ringtones and goes silent?

    I would think it is a bug just because my wife's MP3 ringtone doesn't move to a default ringtone but just goes silent. If it went to a default ringtone it'd be good, but ... going silent is bad!

    Dock changes ringtones and goes silent?

    Dude, you ROCK. That nailed it. I have it hooked to the computer, and I just automatically mounted the SD card figuring why not. So to check your theory and did not mount the SD card, and everything worked. I would have to say it's a bug though - the default behavior of my wife's calls...

    Dock changes ringtones and goes silent?

    I just got the dock, and I want my droid in it on my desk. It looks nice and I was pleased, until I noticed that when my wife called me the phone didn't ring. After some playing, here is what I found. I have a MP3 ringtone for the default ringtone. In the dock, the phone does not use that...

    What can you do with wireless?

    I did actually find a use for it last night! I took a video of my kids and tried to upload it to Youtube - and it refused to do so over Verizon's wireless connection as it was too large. So I connected to the wireless network and it then automatically sent the video - I didn't even have to...

    What can you do with wireless?

    I connected my Droid to my wireless network last night at home. It connected fine, but when I speed tested it compared to my wife's Droid (not yet connected) it seemed to download files at the same speed. So I wasn't even sure when I web browsed if it was using the wireless connection or not...

    color coded calendar app

    The widget gives me a calendar for the home screen that shows several weeks (I have it configured to three weeks.) There's a little color coded bar at the top of each date that tells me I have an appointment that day, and the color tells me which calendar so I know if it's business or not. If...

    Thank you very much!

    Available app updates?

    I had a notification for an app update, but my finger slid across it accidentally and it dismissed. So that left me with no idea which app I had installed had the update available. I tried to find a way to see the dismissed notification but couldn't, and I tried to see if there was any way in...

    Best Skins Ever - Now shipping for the Droid

    I went to a mall that had an Invisible Shield kiosk. The guy there was very nice, and had a scrap of their shield and put it on the phone as a temporary thing just so I could see if it made any difference. For me, the phone responded pretty much exactly the same with our without the invisible...
