    Looking at the Droid X2...need some feedback

    New to the Dx2. Just got it yesterday as a replacement for Inc2. Went from Fascinate to Inc2 to Dx2. Fascinate had so many problems, but still worked ok as a phone. Inc2 worked beautifully as everything but a phone. Signal was non existent here without an extender. Dx2 has a great solid signal...

    Emergency Call Not Working

    Ok, understood.Thanks. Wondering about that, if you press the emergency call button does it go straight to 911 or do you have to dial 911.

    Emergency Call Not Working

    First tip is for a screen unlock pattern. Then it states "instructions start with the phone unlocked at the home screen" So if you are not using a special pattern there is no emergency button showing on the locked screen.You have to unlock the phone to make a call.

    Emergency Call Not Working

    So it does not work with the default side to side swipe pattern? You have to set a special pattern for it to show up? This is not mentioned in the owners manual. There is no mention of an emergency button at all.
