I manually updated my Droid to 2.2 on Tuesday and I’ve been irritated with the messaging setup since then. I don’t like the white background. Is there a way to make it go back to the original black without having to root the phone?
Also… any chance this issue will be fixed with the supposedly new Froyo OTA that’s coming? I wouldn’t complain but it’s hard to just glance at the white and gray and know which messages are read or unread.
Yesterday I flashed UD Froyo Extreme 3.0 and everything was peachy. It ran wonderfully and I was having no issues. This morning I wake up at 7a.m. for work and everything still going nice and easy. 20 Minutes ago hell broke loose and my phone began to flip out.
It started when I got off work and connected my car charger to my phone. I connect the charger, send a text, and the phone pauses then goes into the bootanimation. Thinking nothing of it (as this has happened before on other ROMS) I unplug the charger and let my phone rest. Then I get home and turn on my screen and it says Rom Manager has force closed and the android start-up from when you wipe your phone is up. Still calm I just reboot my phone. When it finally boots up again the android start-up is back again and just about every background app on my begins to repeatedly force close. So I just wiped and went to my last nandroid back-up out of instinct. Everything seems fine now but I must know if anyone has ever experienced anything like this?
So some punk stole my droid – long story. Anyhow, the new phone arrives, I turn it on, and low and behold! My background / wallpaper is a picture of the punk that stole my phone! My guess is the idiot took a picture of himself and google backed it up to their server and than downloaded onto the new phone. So now I want to catch this little punk…
So, here’s my question – how do I retrieve this picture off of the phone? Here’s what I have tried thusfar:
1. Looked in the "Gallery" – no picture.
2. Downloaded Astro and did extensive root system file searches (from "/") for files with the names: jpg, *.jpg, png, *.png, wallpaper, background – no pictures found.
3. Obviously I hooked it up to the computer but that only lets you view the SD card and there’s nothing on that since it’s a "brand new" phone.
Was thinking of trying root access next, but thought I’d ask the forum for any suggestions. Any suggestion is appreciated, no matter how silly!
I’ve had a strange thing happen. Whenever I pressed and held an icon on a home screen, or pressed the Applications tab, the background color was always white. All of a sudden it has changed to yellow. Any suggestions as to what has happened?
Motorola Droid with 2.1 OTA Update installed manually. Speech-to-text seems to work pretty good under ideal conditions. However I cannot get it to work in my car – it produces garbled text, if it works at all.
In all cases I have muted the stereo, and it is just me in the vehicle with what I would consider minimal road/wind noise. I’ve tried speaking clearly and loudly with no better results.
Two Questions:
1. Is this inability to filter out background "white" noise to be expected?
2. If I had a Bluetooth headset, would the speech-to-text know to use the audio from the headset vs phone microphone? If so, any real-life data as to whether this works reliably in car environment?
Has anyone had issues getting their wallpaper to be sized correctly? For example, I have a specific image that has a 800×1200 resolution. It fills the screen in portrait perfectly when viewing in the gallery. However, when I try to set it as my wallpaper, it has me crop the picture and the largest it allows me to select is the top half. What gives? I want it to look on my wallpaper the same way I see it in my gallery.
I am using Home++ with 4 screens if it makes any difference. Turning on/off wallpaper scroll doesn’t make any difference. Do I need to resize the picture?
These are my must have apps for the Droid. Btw, I do love the Droid but it does need a camera update. One is due out in January(or so I hear). I got the background off of a Google search of “outer space” then modified it a lot with picsay pro.
