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!
Hmm, wow. Did you have any 3rd party apps installed when it crashed?
I re-installed the same apps I had on my previous droid. Does yours randomly reset sometimes? I don' think it should be resetting at all from what I hear.
No, mine doesn't. If it happened before with other 3rd party apps, most likely, you have installed it again and it's causing problems.
Hi Viperboy,
First of all, thanks for doing this.
I have reached the end of my rope with this problem. I have talked with both Verizon and Motorola and both of them say it is a Google problem but, of course, you can't talk with them. You are my last hope.
I have a MO Droid. I have 2 calendars on google. First is the default calendar and the second is a calendar I created on google. When I add an event from the Droid and it syncs with google, it ends up on google as if I invited others. So, when I sync the google calendar with ical on my mac, I cannot edit the event because it doesn't think I created it. It looks like the Droid account is not being recognized by google. I reluctantly did a factory reset on my Droid last night and reconnected the google account. It didn't help.
I think my Google calendar may be corrupt but I'm not sure. And, I don't know what to do about it.
Any suggestions?
Mark
Hmm, interesting. Have you been successful with editing it in Google Calendar on the computer before putting it into iCal? I would also say that this is a Google issue. Hopefully, you can change the settings on the event from the computer so that this stops happening to you. Let me know.
I downloaded Myspace from the Market to my phone and then uninstalled it from my phone through the Apps sections and not while in Market. Market for some reason still thinks it's installed.. Sort of. It says it's installed, but it won't let me open it, uninstall it, or redownload it. The program is no longer on the phone. From what I've been reading, people are having this problem with various programs where something gets messed up when uninstalling program. It greys out Run and Uninstall, and won't let you redownload it. The supposed fix is a wipe or if I could download or copy the Myspace Mobile APK file onto the phone, install it, then uninstall it through Market it should fix the ghost file. I've looked all over for the apk for Myspace 1.7 but can't seem to find it to reinstall it on my phone since I can't do it through Market because it doesn't give me the option to download it again even though it's not on the phone. Any suggestions? Where can I download the APK for Myspace 1.7 other than Market? Thanks in advance!
Interesting. Did you try SM and going into your Market downloads and seeing what it says? When in SM, check under Apps (not from the Market) to see if you have the option to uninstall again.
First let me thank you viperboy for all your help here. I went through each of the 40+ pages and didn't see this asked so I apologize if it has.
I've had my DROID for a little over a month now and occasionally (maybe once a week) it shuts off on it's own and I can't turn it back on. I have to remove the battery and put it back in and it will start right up and work just fine. I thought the new 2.0.1 update might have fixed this but it happened again today.
It is not from the battery going dead (it was at 90% when it happened today) and I'm not pressing buttons because it was just sitting on my desk. I don't have any 3rd party apps installed or anything like that. Do you know what would cause this? Should I consider getting it replaced?
I really don't know what could cause this, it's not a common problem that I see. Since you have no 3rd party apps, I would say to get the device exchanged. You don't have anything on your phone that would cause that.
The only other thing would be to take it into the store and have them reflash it. It could be that when you got the update, something isn't working right anymore. You will lose all your data though, keep that in mind. So I would recommend backing it up with MyBackup or something first.
I know there is a thread started on this already but its looking dead so I thought I would ask here.
Viper,
Is there anyone complaining of their battery life being worse after the update at Verizon? I ask because I notice mine is significantly worse. I am using the phone moderately at the most but it still is bad. Today I took it off full charge at 5am and by 2pm it was at 30%. I haven't changed anything on the phone from pre and post update so I don't understand this. I used to go over a day without having to charge. Any ideas here? Should I take the battery back?
No, I have only heard (and seen on my own phone) battery life getting better. Check under Home Screen > Menu > Settings > About Phone > Battery Use. What is using your battery the most besides display? How much is display using as well?
Tried this in the main threads and didn't get anywhere so here's my problem, I cannot upload anything to any web site. Tabs to do so say uploads disabled. Can't find a setting in the browser or phone that would affect this and did a factory data reset just to be sure it wasn't something I did. Any suggestions would be very helpful.
I have tried to upload a file to media-convert.com before and it doesn't work either. It is disable from the Browser. What I didn't try was from Dolphin. Maybe that might work? But the default browser doesn't allow uploads.
I am having a problem with my Moto Droid and was wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same thing...
If I make a call to a person and the call goes into their voicemail and I want to disconnect there is no way to do it. The phone is in a car dock and I'm on a bluetooth. The screen goes back to the home screen and there is no way to stop the call. Then the VM asks if I want to listen to the message press 1 etc and the keypad won't come up so I have to listen to the whole annoying message until it says "I'm sorry your having problems. Try your call later, goodbye." There have also been a few times when I've dialed the wrong person and have not been able to disconnect. The back arrow, info key, etc don't respond. Any suggestions?
Have you tried hanging up from your BT headset? If the phone is blank, have you tried pressing the power button? It should come up when you do that.
My phone won't send or receive mms. Whats the deal?
That's a little vague... were you ever able to send SMS or MMS? Did that work on previous phones? What happens when you try to send them? Does it fail only to a certain person or only to certain people on a certain carrier? I need more details to help you.
