Dock Mode Fix
Okay... having read everything in every thread in these forums, I'm a bit frustrated and thought I'd summarize what I think I've learned and what is needed in an update.
My Droid times out when put in the dock, whether plugged into the wall or a USB port. When it times out, it switches from the default dock-mode clock to a smaller and brighter digital clock that slowly moves around the screen. So there's still a clock, but it's a different one, and it is BRIGHT. When I dock it in my bedroom and hit the dim button it's appropriately dim and I like it, but then a few minutes later it times out and gets BRIGHT with the new/different digital clock coming up. There doesn't appear to be any setting on the phone to change this behavior, and I've read every thread and tried everything that others have recommended.
The second issue/complaint I have is that when it's in dock mode, and I dim the clock, the white backlight on the home/menu/search/back buttons stays on. This is ANNOYING. The point of having it dimmed in the bedroom is so that it can be a replacement nightstand clock, and all of these damn lights and timeouts are pissing me off. This is software. It needs to be fixed. There should be a "dock mode" application that allows you to control ALL of these settings at a granular level. Come on Motorola!
