About LinkBacksI use my ipod for music and I don't feel the need to upload to pictures from my phone to computer so why would I need to plug my phone in? Is it the only way I can update my phones software? And if so, how often am I supposed to do it? And is there other stuff im supposed to be plugging it in for? Thank you)

01-03-2011 06:11 PMNo, you don't need to plug into the computer to update but if you want to access your SD card plugging into your computer is an easy way to do it. You can also access your SD card via Files app on your Droid.
Now if you ever decide to root and add a custom ROM and run into difficulties you would need to sbf and that would require hooking up to a PC. But most everything you can do without using a computer, even loading apps that aren't in the Market.
You can even access the SD card via WiFi with an app called WiFi File Explorer Pro. It will give you an ip address to type into your computers browser and access the SD card via WiFi.
You may want to move a video file into the SD card like a movie or television shows. I prefer accessing the SD card by USB but if you don't want to you don't have to.Please be respectful. Respect is #1 here at DF Please read our Guidelines of Conduct -
