Viper hey, its me again. I actually swapped my phone in today after the previous droid I had was resetting randomly altogther about 3-4 times in about a month that I had it. And I was hoping this one didnt do it but what do i know? it reset randomly once again the first day I get it. Does yours reset? should I go to a different store and swap for a new one again? I hear alot of people are having this problem and I was also hoping the 2.01 update would have fixed this but maybe it is a hardware issue? I'm getting up to a point where I'm really frustrated and annoyed that I might have to go get it swapped for a 2nd time now... the responese i read from people today was that 3rd times a charm and that they never had it reset after. What do you think please help man!
 
Fully charged in the a.m. Midday it alerts "fifteen minutes of charge left" and within a few minutes it shuts down. Will not USB charge (sometimes) off my laptop at this point but will of others. Not dependable because of this problem. There is not enough waring between the alert and when it shuts down completely.

My phone did basically the same thing this evening. Plugged it into wife's laptop, mine wasn't on. Made dinner. Came back to a dead phone. Wouldn't power up but light next to USB was lit, and phone was charging when I left it. Wouldn't power up on my laptop either. Finally after several attempts with wall charger it powered up.
 
Thanks Viperboy, cant believe ya have had the endurance to stick around this long lol.

It's tough, but you guys didn't wear me out yet! :D

Hmm, wow. Did you have any 3rd party apps installed when it crashed?

The only thing I can think of is were you guys using the cable the phone came with? I know that USB isn't going to provide as much juice as a wall charger, so maybe the phone was consuming more than the USB could put out if you guys were using the charger it came with. Did you have alot of app running or anything that would be really hard on the phone?
 
I would really like to know if verizon knows whats going on with the droid deleting all your text messages, even the locked ones. it's not an issue with auto delete. this has happened to me 5 times and it's getting old.
 
The USB cable is not sufficient to charge the device. You need to use the plug it came with and charge it off a regular wall plug. The Droid take too much juice for the USB's that come with the computer.

I had the same problem a month ago when I bought mine and was told this by support. Since then no problems.

Have not had that problem personally and have not encountered anyone who had that problem. Do you have ALOT of messages? Anything you do to cause it to erase them? Does the app crash or they are just randomly gone when you go into your messages?

Im not the only one. i have read numerous posts on it. the apps not crashing they are just up and gone. i wouldn't say i have a lot maybe 400-500 total. i have read of people having way more and not being deleted. i don't know if it has to do with the amount of messeges or not cause there was one time i didn't have very many maybe 200 and they got erased.

Voice Notification of New Call

I have set up my phone to give me a voice notification (number and name if in contact list) when a call comes in. I would now like to turn off voice notification and can't remember how.

Thanks,

POP3 E-mail forwarding

Is Verizon/Motorola aware of the issue that attachments are not forwarded when forwarding a POP3 e-mail message?? The only way to accomplish the task is save the attachments from the original e-mail and than reattach them to the newly created forwarded e-mail before sending.
 
It would be nice to send out a mass text message and be able to just go down the contact list and pick the recipients, any idea if that will ever be an option?
 
ViperBoy, I have a question about the native gmail app.

With the web interface mail.google.com, there is an option to have multiple sender addresses, and select which from address I'd like to use on an email by email basis. I don't see that option with the droid gmail app. Is it missing from the app or have I not found it yet?

Thanks.
 
I will get trounced for this question :)

Okay, I am not a stupid person (others would disagree), but I can't find the question mark up on the slide up keyboard. I am hitting the "alt" key and then the "sym" key and it does not show one. Am I losing my frickin mind? Go ahead and take your shots, but if you can help, I would appreciate it. Have a great day.
