Verizon Confirms Second Android 2.2 Update Coming for Motorola Droid.

[Pack3t SynAck3r]

I've always been of the opinion that if a "newb" asks a question, even if it's been answered before, if someone has a helpful answer it makes for much more pleasant reading than a bunch of "use search n00bz" posts.

I consider myself a pretty advanced user of all things technology, and I myself find that most forum searches are somewhat lacking when it comes to finding info.

There is the trick to search a particular site for particular search terms using Google, but not everyone knows how to do that.

So why not clue them in? The format for googling within a particular site is

(your search terms) site:"whatever.com" {make sure no spaces between site: and the actual site/extension you are searching in}

example:

"froyo 2.2 features motorola droid site:droidforums.net"

[furbearingmammal]

Or you could put it in like this site:droidforums.net +"froyo features" -furbearingmammal

The + means you want results that only have what follows, and the quotes mean you want those two words to appear next to each other in every search. The - means you don't want the word furbearingmammal to appear at all in every hit, IE you don't want to hear what I have to say on the subject.

For S&Gs, here's that Google search done for you.

site:droidforums.net +"froyo features" -furbearingmammal - Google Search

As you can see, I use FireFox as my default browser.

And remember, it's FroYo or Android 2.2 -- saying FroYo 2.2 is redundant, repetitive, pleonastic, superfluous, tautological, and above all so overused it's gauche.

So, If I manually installed that "Full" 76 MB 2.2 update last week (the one that required you to root if you had installed the other 2.2 update), will I be getting ANOTHER update sometime after the 18th?

Short answer: Yes.
Long answer: Yesssssss!

This is off topic, but I have to say, I am VERY impressed with the vocabulary here. Even as a writer, I haven't seen some of these words in QUITE awhile. Very nice.

Thank you. Frustrated author here, and I'm sure it's been showing through the cracks.

To keep this on topic, does anyone know if the Bluetooth system would pair with a keyboard? I think it'd be almost impossible to use the Droid 1 for any length of time in such a manner, but maybe for jotting notes since the soft keyboard takes up way too much space and the slide-out keyboard is virtually useless for anything long?

You of course can use the OR "|" operator as well and since people refer usually to one or the other, (or sometimes morons like me do both)
site:droidforums.net +"froyo|2.2 features" -furbearingmammal

I didn't know Google supported the | operator. I should have, and I'm wondering when I forgot about it, but at my age the mind starts to go a bit.

Here's a dancing banana for teaching me a new trick.

Not to put too fine a point on it, isn't Furbearingmammal redundant?

I am rooted and running "Ultimate Droid. Extreme 6.0.0" and I just got a notice to update from VZW.

This is what i'm running right now. Are they going to keep hitting me with notifacations?
