"DROID!!!!!" on startup

[raddoc]

Around 11 a.m. on 8/31 I got the software upgrade message and downloaded Android 2.2 . Since then the unit has been acting wonky, not allowing calls to be answered, weak cell and 3G connection but the worst part is the fact that it now screams "DROID" on startup. I called VZ and HTC. They blamed each other but neither could tell me how to stop it. Finally VZ agreed to send out a replacement phone. What a PIA. Upgrade = downgrade!

Thanks. That fixed it. Any easy fixes to 2.2 for crappy battery life?

Ahhh, thanks for the app.

Mine wont accept phone calls either. My wife called me from her 2.1 DInc to my 2.2 DInc and 4 out of 5 calls she placed to me never reached my phone.

If you have a custom recovery you can mount /system and change the VZW_Droid.mp3 to VZW_Droid.bak in the /system/customize/resource folder and it will stop playing the sound

Does anyone happen to have the droid.mp3 file??

I have it in an .ogg file on the phone. I love the startup sound, and have been using it for email notifications since I bought the phone.

I have attached a ZIP file of it here for you.

A lot of motoDroid users use that as a ringtone. You can hear them all around the office, not so special.

Place your index finger over the speaker on the back. It muffles it nicely. I like the "Droooid!", but not when I'm sitting at my cube

Thanks, just bought a Droid Incredible and wondered how to get the "Droid" sound for notifications!

If look three posts up in Todd M's post you'll find a .zip of the Droid sound you can place on your SD card and use as a notification.

Have fun.

Or, you could go to the Market and download the Zedge app. There are at least 500,000 ringtones and notification files in there, including the "DROOOOIIIIDDDD!!" soundfile.
