Verizon Tech here - ask away!

[hookbill]

OK, now I originally posted this question in a different thread that no one answered me in and thought I would bring it up here. I am new to Android (a Blackberry Defector) and just purchased the Droid on Tuesday. I have noticed when I am using the browser on a site that requires a username and password, like my bank or netflix, that every time I enter the username and then press "next" on the virtual keyboard to go to the password box the browser states "the browser has stopped working suddenly and needs to close." The phone then closes the browser and returns me to the home page. I have had this happen every time I try to log in on any site that requires it. If I try to log in the same sites and press the screen on the password box, the problem does not happen. I am not sure if it is a virtual keyboard issue or a browser issue, but either way it causes the browser to crash and close.

I'm no Viperboy but I can tell you I'm not experiencing that with my Droid. Not at all.

google search window

I just got the droid. I have been playing around with it and somehow I have managed to put two google search windows on my home page. How do I get them off?

Long Press on one and drag it to the red bar at the bottom of the screen, It will show an image of a trash can, then let it go....

:icon_ banana: Did the same thing my first day with my DROID :icon_ devil: Just place your finger on the unwanted google bar, once you are able to move it, drag it to the Applications Tab, (it's icon will turn redish, and also change to a trash can) Take you finger off then and the extra google bar should go the way of the DohDoh.

Add one to the can't see Embedded pictures in Gmail
i have narrowed it down to ones that are hosted on gmail..
if someone else embedds a picture and that points to a URL then I can see them.
If the pictured is attached I can download but if it is embedded it does not seem to loaded.

Just saw there are a few other threads about this issue , all the same problem , kind of annoying to say the least .

This thread has been pruned of most posts that have no purpose being here, or should never have been posted in the first place. I am now giving a warning. The pruning of things such as.. "i don't believe your credentials, or this is stuff that can be found on google" or anything along the lines of that, will also be coming with infractions against those members. If you believe him or not, that's not needed in this thread. He's here helping people and I for one am grateful.

Really appreciate your help!! Quick question...Is there a way to disable the search soft key at the bottom of the phone. I hit it accidentally all the time. drives me crazy! thanks.

Viper/Anyone,
What is the max file limit for sending videos via MMS or to Gmail? I can send a 30 second video without problem, but much beyond that I receive an error message that the file is too large. Thanks!

skipped my question lol it's ok you are probably overwhelmed with all the questions... so here it is once again.

Do you think I should exchange the droid for a new one?

Been almost a month and my droid reset twice for no reason... its too early to tell becuz of the update but did the update include something that fixed this issue? I also had the sound of my ringtone and notifications(all sounds in general) get switched from the speaker to earpiece.(a reset fixed this but I don't want it to come to that again) I don't have insurance for this phone so I want to be safe. What do you think? And also, I bought it directly from verizon so I wouldn't be able to go to a local verizon store to have it replaced is there? Thanks in advance and welcome to the forums!

Selecting all email

Viperboy -

Thanks again for your assistance. I searched the forum but haven't been able to find the answer to this.

After selecting multiple emails there is an option in the menu to deselect all. How do you select multiple emails? This would come in handy when deleting spam.

quick question. my unlock icon changed from the nice arch to the straight line. Was this a result of the update? Can i change it back to the arch look?

MMS Ringtone Managment Question

I have searched the forums and can't find the answer to this one question.

Where does the Droid store a MMS delivered ringtone?

It is not stored on the SDcard, I pulled the card and ringtone is still there.

It is not in the "system\media\audio\ringtones" folder with the native ringtones either.

I figure someone will know the answer here on the forums. I have found all my many other answers with a quick search. If I can't find them there is no way to manage or delete them. I have Astro file manager and know how to use it. So where are they?
Thanks in advance.
