Motorola Droid News

Is anyone willing to show me or tell me the step by step to overclock my droid 1. If so give me some tips of step by step on how to overclocking my droid 1 with 1 ghz aka 1000 mhz. Im envy 1 ghz phones like google nexus one,htc desire,htc droid incredible,evo 4g and droidx/2 phones that has the speed.

I guess this happened in a recent patch but I just found out that when playing Pandora and using the navigation when ever the navigation speaks Pandora pauses itself and does not start playing again. The navigation used to pause Pandora only for a second and then start playing again but now it’s staying paused and I simply can’t use the two together.

Is this a known issue?

If you have a Nvidia video card get "Badaboom" from their web sight. Its pretty cheap.
I just bought Avatar for the family. I went to Fastest DVD Copy Software | Best DVD Decrypter from DVDFab and downloaded "DVDFAB PassKey 7", or google "dvd43free". These are both free and remove the encryption so I can rip my movie. Install Dvd43free or PassKey and a dvd. Then using Badaboom, which works with Nvidia video cards to transcode video fast, I transcoded Avatar in less than one hour and am now watching it on my Droid.
The settings I used on Badaboom are:
Select "Costom Media Center" on the right, select the drive your movie is in on the left.
Click Advanced, top right.
Video Decoder tab: check mark all
Video encoder tab: Profile=baseline Key frame mode=fixed
Level =Auto Interval =80
R.C.S.=Constant Q
Move the slider to Highest Quality
Pic Tab: Display Res=720×480
Aspect R.= Fill to Aspect(this is important)
Output Res. will read=720×404
Film-mode=Auto And checkmark "Deinterlace"
Audio Set. tab: Audio mix=Stereo Downmix
Audio Channel= English(D.D.)6ch
Audio Bitrate slider= far left 128
These setting may also help if you are using some other transcode program such as Handbrake or Super, which are free.
This has worked very well for me every time. I have a bunch of movies transcoded and tested.
Good Luck

Ok, when you watch the video from google on new voice search w/2.2 upgrade, shows that you can say a name, along w/ email message pretty much at same time etc. When ever I try it, it pulls up contact along w/a spot for message, but i have to hit microphone again to get it going. Is there a setting im missing????? other than that it seems to work better at finding correct info etc.

Hi all,
I need some serious wisdom from you smart people.
I had to delete my original gmail that I used to set up my Droid last year. I factory reset the same phone and created a new Gmail account. Why do I have to buy my apps all over again if I am using the same phone, credit card etc.?
Isn’t there something that Google can do to verify it is still me and the same phone that I want to download my apps to?
Has anyone been in a similar situation? Who can I contact?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Ok Ive been waiting ever since July to get Froyo on my Moto Droid and now it has reached the 18th which is the date that: engadget, phandroid, android news, and droid forums said it should be wrapped up by and I havent gotten it yet.

Question #1: I got 2.1 at 12:01 at night, is there a specific time people are recieving this OTA?

Question #2: Is there a possibility I may be/ have been skipped?

Question #3: If I update manually will I still get the OTA?

Question #4: If I ever do get Froyo ( doubt it ) and I got the stuck on motorola boot sign is there a way anyone can help me into nuzzeling Verizon out of a Moto Droid 2?

Question #5: Will the OTA (if i ever get it) drain my battery significantly?

Question #6: Will there be an overclocking app with the OTA ?

Question #7: Ive been practically obsessed with this update, watching the google press C’s on youtube over and over, is it worth all this fuss?

Thanks to anyone who can help me out, Ive been so confused with all this controversy ever since VZW and Moto have been releasing dates that their not falling through with.:motdroidvert: Droid Forever:motdroidhoriz: Im an extremely dedicated to Googles Android and Verizon and Motorola, andwilll certainly appreciate any help anyone can offer, God Bless.:greendroid:

I’ve noticed since my flashing to FRG22 that my GPS icon is flashing often. I pull my phone out of my pocket to simply check the time or see if I’ve got messages and I see it flashing. Sometimes it will go away, sometimes it stays.

Why’s it doing this?

I’m pretty sure I didn’t check the box saying to send location data to Google when signing in.

I think it’s draining my battery, maybe not. Doesn’t mention it in my Battery Use

I was entering in a bunch of calendar events for next year through the Google calendar interface on my computer. Everything synced to the phone except items entered for Sept – December 2011. They are present in Google Calendar, but not on my phone. If I enter an event on my phone in one of those months, it syncs and shows up in Google Calendar, but nothing entered in Google calendar in those months shows up on my phone. I’ve tried clearing out Calendar Data and Calendar Storage Data but that didn’t help. Anyone else see this?

Hi all!
My wife and I are both running Kangerade 5.0.9 but for some reason my wifes Listen app seizes when she opens it saying it cant sync with her Google account. Mine works fine however. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, no dice. I checked accounts synced in setting and Google is syncing. I also had my wife log into her Reader account on our PC to make sure it was on the up and up and everything appears to be fine. I really dont want to have to wipe and flash again! Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

1. Can fields or form input be added to Mot Droid that can inable the
Latatude and Longitude to work with a find comand. In other words I want to be able to save my Lat & Lon in my contact list and use the find to locate a position with Google.

2. I also would like to add a value in Contact for my Subdivision data. I would rather not use a general tab such as address or Notes. I would rather create a place on the contact form that says "Sub: and inter my data here.
