Tips and Tricks for the Droid X

[KQCrackberry]

please be more specific...

found out that you can actually disable the lock screen in the settings menu:
menu>settings>location & security and from there just uncheck the screen lock option. best part is that you can disable the swipe lock, while still keeping a passcode or pattern lock if you want

Um my options in Location and Security are as follows:
e911 only
use wireless networks
use gps satellites
enable assisted gps
calibrate compass
change screen lock
use visible pattern
use tactile feedback
security lock timer
set up restriction lock
visible passwords
select device administrators
install from sd card
set password
clear storage

where in here can you disable the slide lock while leaving the pattern enabled? entering the "change screen lock" menu simply alters the pattern/pin/pass but the slide is enabled by default. as far as i can see the slide lock can't be disabled

Settings > Call settings > Voicemail setting, then input *86,[pass], should work. Don't forget the comma between the *86 and your pass

Ok, just tried it, no go

You cant do that with a Kindle.

Don't forget

Ok, just tried it, no go

it should go like so: *86,password#

Don't forget the # right after the password. NO COMMA after the password.

I have the stock Music app and the Music beta app on my DX. Sometimes when I run the phone through Bluetooth in my car, the stock app will override the beta app. Is there a way to tell the phone only to use the beta app for Music and to never use the stock Music app? I really have no need for the stock app anymore...

If you are rooted, you could just "freeze" the stock music app.

I should have mentioned that I am not rooted and would rather not be if there is a way to accomplish this without it. Any way to do this without root?

Yeah, that is pretty cool. There's an option in the settings to turn that on or off as well as double tapping the screen to silence the ringer.

Just touch the volume keys and it will silence also

thanks I have been wondering how to do that.

not sure if any of you have come across this yet, but when your phone is ringing, you can flip the phone to face down and it will swap it to vibrate (great for if you are in a meeting and forgot to silence your phone)

I just tried that and it didn't work, is there something that I would have to press to activate that feature?
