Anyway to Fix the "Crackling" when using a charger and a 3.5mm jack while playing ANY audio?

Vip,

thanks for the thread. question. How do i uninstall the new update. It sucks for me because i don't care about any of the "improvements" listed in that link you gave. The only thing i want is to have my lscreen stay on permanently - which it used to do with the "never" option in display settings.

I tried scribbl but that doesn't help with the lock screen timeout. I use my droid for a watch and now i have to press the power button everytime i want to check the time because it times out after 5 seconds. I didn't see any workaround in my search of the threads.

The only thing i can think of is to go back to the prior version which i'm happy to do because my phone was working perfectly for my needs before the update. thank you.

This update was a mandatory update; you can't roll it back, and any phone that you get today will have that update.

I just sat with my phone beside me for 10 minutes after setting the screen timeout for 30 minutes, and it never went dark. If your phone is going dark after 5 seconds, I'd suspect that some other app is blanking the screen, or your phone is defective.

Cheers,
-M

perhaps a case would help the battery cover stay on for you and the way you use the robot. If not,.. duct tape fixes lots of things,... lol

Mrdodgers, there is a fix for this reported elsewhere in the forum. I recall there is a short video that shows the fix in detail.

I had Motorola send me a new one and it fits tightly - I had the same problem and they will do it for free once. They probably send out a special one so I'd recommend that.

I used my new droid to navigate a 200 mile trip yesterday and it worked flawlessly...............I've used a number of gps systems and this is as good as any and better because of the real time poi, etc.

However, is there no way to put the phone in night mode. I had to turn off the navigation shortly after dark because it was blinding me. Please tell me that I'm a dummy and there is a setting.....or tell me there is a setting on the drawing board. Thanks for a great phone.

im having issues with my google naviagtion. The narrator is speaking at double speed. i have no idea how it started. i've tried to figure out how to uninstall google maps and reinstall it but its not listed in my application manager. any tips or hints you could offer so i can remedy this? thx for ur time

 

[crh97]

go to maps....go to menu.....go to more......go to help.......there should be instructions there. Hope this helps. I had a wife that talked like that one time and I had to divorce her. You are bound to find a better fix than that.

I used mine last weekend for the first time for a trip, and it was flawless. I had my Garmin running as well and the onl difference was Droid notified me ahead of Garmin. I was glad the screen locked in the on position, but I have the same concern for night settings. Since this is still in beta let's hope it gets addressed in the next release.

From home page. Settings, text to speech, speech rate

Day one. MotoD

Will the number of apps I download effect the battery life of the phone? I remember reading somewhere that certain apps run in the background and kill the battery life (I think it was USA Today or something)
