Verizon Tech here - ask away!

[will.anaya]

I installed the 2.1 update last night. When I try to get into the programming menu now, it doesn't seem to work. It actually dials and then a Verizon recording comes on. I don't get to enter the 000000 code like before. I've been in the menu before, so I'm not sure why it isn't working anymore. I am dialing ##7764726. Anyone have any ideas?

just tried it, works for me

Is the Droid capable of sending a voice message (voice message sent directly to voicemail)? I don't see this option under contacts, messaging or Google Voice.

There's an app for that....cant think of the name...but there is a thread on here about it.

Thanks - I will look again. If you remember the name that would be great. If I find the thread I'll update my posting.

Thanks you.

Well, I've exhausted my search. Thanks for your help anyway. Have a Merry Christmas.

Frequently Called Numbers

Right under your favorites there is the frequently called numbers that are logged. Is there a way to get rid of those without permanently deleting the contacts? Or is there a way to get rid of that function all together.
Thanks

I started a thread about e-mail account disappearing --- I'm not the only one experiencing this. Not sure if this has been address or if there is some place that we can get this escalated so that either Motorola, Google, or Verizon is aware of this issue and get it resolved. So far this has happened to me 3 times. The first two times all my e-mail accounts just disappeared. The 3rd time, only my Exchange e-mail account disappeared. Yesterday, my Droid kept telling me that I needed to setup Gmail but it was already setup.

I wanted to bump this question up again as it has happened to me. ViperBoy responded (can't quote is it came in a long string of responses) saying that he hadn't heard about and needed to read up on it.

Well have you read up on it? :blink: There are multiple discussion on multiple forums out there with no response. I think this article sums it up best: Motorola Droid users experiencing email deletion bug - TechSpot News

I can't offer thoughts other than I think its an issue with one of the companies (i.e. Moto, Google, or VZW). There are many that have stated they have recreated the problem on bone stock phones.

I would like to try to push this issue up to the powers that be (or can help get it there!!).

And thanks as always to everyone in the community for making this a great place...

Go to your contacts, then call log, then menu.... clear call log... poof!.. they are gone!

First off thanks for lending your free time to this post. Sorry if this has already been asked but your thread is so long it is hard to read all the questions asked. I noticed an issue with the audio and video matching up when taking a video with my droid. Now this has only happening when the video is roughly more than a minute and half. A video I took that was about 5 minutes long had the audio almost a second behind the video. Any ideas on how to fix this and have you even heard of this happening? Thanks

Hmm, this is not something I have seen or heard a complaint about. I haven't ever taken a video on this phone (or even used the camera much). Can anyone else confirm if they are having this problem?

here is a link for a couple other people experiencing the same problem. http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-audio-video/9229-audio-video-sync-issues-when-recording.html

Merry Christmas, guys!

As you can imagine, I have alot to do today and I've been really busy the past few days. Sorry for not answering your questions. I will try to do so later on today or tonight. But hopefully, you guys have better things to do than post on here on Christmas Day!

Stay safe, everyone. And show off your Droid to all of your iDont-toting inlaws

Clearing the call log does not clear the frequently called list.

I was having a problem with my Bluetooth connections. Depending on who I call, after the first ring, I get a loud static noise in the ear piece. This will stop when the next ring happens but starts again after the ring. Sometimes when I connect the call it will go away and other times I have to switch Bluetooth off. Even after I switch it off on the phone, the ear piece continues to produce loud static. The only way I can get it to stop is by turning off the power to the ear piece. It seems to be that this happens only when I call certain numbers. Also, the Bluetooth is made by Motorola, so you would think that it would be compatible.

Anyone else having this issue?

I already did all my Christmas parties this week. Now I'm just soaking up my time off of work while I get paid. I'm actually getting paid to write this right now.........sweet deal!! Gotta love Holiday pay

Merry Christmas to everyone.

.gif It played fine on my other phone. HTC Touch

It wouldn't play. I've seen this animation before so I know what it's supposed to do. I had someone send it to me so I could save it & maybe get it to play that way like you suggested. Still wasn't able to play. It showed up as a still picture.

What happens when you save it and try to view it?

What format is it in?

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

VB,
I have now had Motorola concur this is an error in their version 2.0.1 and they have escalated it to level 4 support. I have not heard back.
Turns out not to be a Google issue at all. The issue is that when an event is added to a calendar via the Droid, it shows up in Google as an invitation. It doesn't happen with my wife's Eris, only my Droid.
I hope to hear back from them in the next week or so.
Happy Holidays
