Need a Touch Screen Cell Phone With a Screen that Can Be Sceen on a Bright Clear Day

Love my DROID except when I look at the screen on a bright clear day and see my reflection, and realize that it is this awareness that is really me. Here is an idea about how to solve this problem: (1) Place the DROID in a Motorol Multimedia Station and leave it there. (2) Add a second wireless telephone that does not have the glare problem the DROID has and forward phone calls to it. I feel the value of reliable, efficent communications is worth the differential cost between two wireless lines and one line less the cost of a landline no longer needed. The differential cost estimate I made is about $10 per month. What touch screen cell phone should I buy for use outside on a bright clear day is a question on my mind, can someone help me?

PLEASE HELP!! Need help putting phone back to normal…

Ok here’s my story…

1.) I rooted my Droid via EasyRoot running stock 2.1.
2.) I upgraded to 2.2. OTA, I lost root access and want to uninstall it.

I did factory reset and it let me do *228, WiFi, and Camera, but it still shows the icon for SuperUser Permissions. I want to get rid of the icon, but when I go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All > SuperUser Permissions, it won’t let me Uninstall it.

Is there a way to delete the app when I mount my phone to my computer?

(I really don’t want to go through the Update.zip and .sbf files with RSD Lite)

Thanks

Battery Drained now phone won’t turn on?

Posted on 24th August 2010 by garret in Droid Updates | Tags: , , , , , , , ,
My battery drained real fast this evening then after awhile being on red it shut down, no problem there I’ll just charge it, but now I cannot even get it to start up while plugged in?

Any help here? The only thing I did before that was remove sportstap app because I’m suspecting that’s the one that drained my phone.

Bluetoothing phone but not music.

I’ve got a Plantonics headset that works just fine with the Droid phone but the music plays just on the Droid and doesn’t stream. Is there a setting I’m missing somewhere?

Thanks!

Phone Lock

Posted on 19th August 2010 by garret in Droid Updates | Tags: , , , , , , , , , ,
Hi all,

I am currently using a rooted Motorola Droid running Froyo Sapphire 1.0. I was wondering if there was a way that I could delay the locking mechanism on the phone. When I had an iPhone I could set a 5 minute delay before it locked the phone and required a pin.

With the droid it seems that I cannot set a time for the screen lock to occur. It will occur following the display value.

Is there a setting that I’m missing or an application that can reproduce the functionality of the iphone? Thanks

OTA Bricked My Phone

Posted on 15th August 2010 by garret in Droid Updates | Tags: , , , , , , ,
I waited patiently for the OTA verizon update.

My phone was in the dock and it came this morning.

When the phone rebooted it froze on moto logo and hasn’t left.

Suggestions?

I pulled the battery after two hours to no avail.

How to Save Wallpaper to Phone, Help!

I messed up my SD card, well Double Twist did actually as it mounted my phone and I didn’t realize that, so when I unplugged the phone it corrupted my SD Card. I had to reformat it, but lost ALL the pics on my phone (and no, didn’t back them up).

I’ve got a great pic of my dog as my wallpaper right now, which must be on the phone and not my SD Card since I didn’t lose it, and I want to save it but can’t find where the wallpaper images are stored.

I tried Wallpaper Set and Save, but that keeps crapping out (no permission, force closes), so curious is there any other way I can save this pic from the wallpaper into a JPG so I can keep it?

Thanks!

To make my droid recognize the as letters and also how can I put pauses and NIPs to dial the banks, I use this a lot in other phones.
