    [Closed] Win an Amazon Kindle Fire

    I love the non-touch, non-color, non-backlit Kindle I've got now, so this would be a cool upgrade! Thank AC!

    Droid 2 Visual Voice Mail Only Shows Numbers, Not Names?

    Freshy -- I was hesitant also, but went ahead and gave it a try figuring I'd be able to figure out how to switch it back if I needed to. I like it so much, I've now have switched my work voicemail over also. The transcription service can be a tad humorous when it guesses, but I do like the...

    Voicemail notification not clearing after listening

    Hey Rev -- Mine's always been like that unless I delete or save the message. If I just hang up, it considers the message new and recycles the whole new voicemail deal. Try saving the message rather than just hanging up and it should clear. I sometimes hang up if I want to leave the voicemail...

    Custom Profiles

    Hey JPL38 -- I also made the switch form BB to Android. Here's my 2 cents: 1) I have two apps that handle the switch from vibrate to ring and back for me -- I use an app called Quiet Time to handle ad-hoc meetings etc which aren't scheduled. So if I know I'm headed into a 90 min meeting (or...

    Motorola Weather Widget can't find me

    Yeah, I found the same thing if I unchecked Current Location. It has also resolved itself for me as of this afternoon.

    Motorola Weather Widget can't find me

    This only started yesterday and its driving me bonkers trying to figure out what is going on. The Motorola weather widget suddenly can't find me. I wouldn't mind and have other weather widgets that work like a champ, but in the multimedia dock Motorola page, their weather widget is the only...

    call volume went waaay low.

    I haven't seen the volume thing and I typically dock the phone all night in the Moto multimedia dock. Hey Cory -- I also have the multimedia dock and deal with the Moto dock screen. I'm curious what the Google desktop dock looks like and how'd I use your downloads. Can you pop up a screen...

    Dumb question. Which symbol is which?

    The vertically stacked arcs is your wifi strength while the horizontal bars is your cell signal strength (for those odd moments when you actually want to use your phone as a phone or for sending an SMS over the actual cellular network). ;)

    Screen wont shut off sometimes

    If you're using the stock ROM and it is only staying on when plugged in, check to make sure the following didn't get checked: Settings/Applications/Development/Stay awake

    From BB 9650 to Droid 2?

    I came from a BB Curve (via a brief excursion to a Palm Pre Plus) and I find the Droid 2 is way more capable than my Curve was business wise. Here's my personal business use thoughts and I'm sure if you ask 100 people, you'll get 110 opinions: 1) Curve only synced email not contacts/calendar...

    Droid 2 Sync with Outlook like the BB.....

    I sync my D2 with my work's Exchange/Outlook, my personal GMail / Verizon / Yahoo. With the exception of Verizon which still only supports POP3 (OK, FIOS folks, time to leave the 1980's), everything works like a champ. Users I have in both GMail and Outlook merge together although some address...

    D2G and Corp Sync w/ Outlook Photo Contacts

    I'm with you. I was dismayed that the sync from Outlook/Exchange doesn't bring over photos. Even my previous Palm Pre Plus handled that fine. I then went through and added the photos all in the phone directly which worked well until something glitched and all my Outlook content got erased from...

    email forwarding

    JDBower is right on if you have the newest GMail app and, if not, I'd recommend downloading it from the Market. For other email POP3, Yahoo, corporate sync, etc.), that shows up in Messaging you hit the Reply icon at the bottom (Envelope with an arrow) and a pop-up menu comes up with Reply (and...

    Corporate Sync with Exchange suddenly wiped

    So... I'm guessing no one's ever run into anything similar???
