Verizon Tech here - ask away!

[KZIWarrior]

First of all - awesome to have you here on the forum, and THANK YOU!!

When will 2.1 be available for the Droid?
When will the N1 be available on Verizon?

Thanks!

The rest of the world (and certainly many of fanatics on this forum) will know the date before most VZW tech/support people will. viperboy has said as much about other topics if you look back through the thread. Search Google News regularly if you want to be 'in the know'. The SDK was just released the other day so...

I am having a problem with my new droid. I am in an extended network area and the web has worked fine on my last three phones. With the droid the only way I can get it to work is by selecting home only instead of automatic on the mobile network. When I make this change I can not make a call? Any suggestions?

I tried to search this, but couldn't find it although I am sure someone else has asked this question:

Is there a way to tone down the Touch Sensitivity?

Appreciate any help with this

Thank You!

Hello Viper, thanks for the tip on "improve call quality" it took less then a min and worked great. I just got this phone 3 days ago so I am very green to this. Maybe u can help me with this issue I have. I keep having to delete emails,I chase them from sent, to send,to trash. They keep coming back. I have been deleteing emails from 2 days ago. I have deleted them by way of the menu button, by way of delete after opening them, they go away till I hit "load more messages" then they come back. I delete them all again from all folders and then, hello!!!! they come back. If i go to my AOL account they are not there.They will not leave my phone. Help! yes I am using my AOL account.I have no problems sending or recieving. Just getting rid of them.
Glad you are here, and I found you.

ok... I found another thread that states there isn't a calibrate on the Moto Droid, but the sensitivity will change if you add a screen protector.

I will give it a try

1. group lists: I just switched over from Blackberry. How can I create group distribution lists?

2. deleting emails: how can I delete emails with one action?
My emails seem to re-appear in my trash file once initially deleted.
this causes twice the work on over 100 emails recd each day.

this seems to be causing my account to crash...which requires me to reset my email account settings frequently.

Can you also set the phone to delete both web-based primary email and on the handheld device....just like a blackberry?

very frustrating. so far, great web device, w terrrible email.

I could be wrong but I don't believe there is a need for "calibration" with capacitive screens. There were several reasons to calibrate resistive type touch screens (primarily to compensate for the pointing device and possible wear on the screen(s)) capacitive screens do not have these shortfalls. Other than a screen protector I don't think it would be possible to adjust the sensitivity either since it is more a function of the hardware for these screens.

If I'm wrong someone please correct. But this is my understanding of the technology in its current state (or rather last time I looked at it).

Hi, thanks for keeping up with us, and Happy New Year!

I have a question about the camera. If I take a photo in landscape/horizontal mode, when I transfer it to my computer, it comes out oriented correctly (proper side up). But if I take the picture in portrait/vertical orientation, when I view it on my computer, it comes out rotated 90 degrees sideways as if the camera were still in landscape mode.

In my settings, I have it set to scene mode "auto", not landscape or portrait, so it shouldn't be locked to landscape, but it seems to be.

When I lock the camera to portrait in scene mode in settings, it STILL shows as a landscape file when downloaded to my computer - rotated 90 degrees sideways

The weird thing is that when I view the photos in the Droid's photo viewer, they come out with proper orientation up. So the Droid knows what's supposed to be the proper side up. But when they get sent out, it all defaults to landscape.

Is there a setting I'm missing or a way that makes this work other than manually rotating them in a photo editor?

It's really frustrating, as most of the photos I take are portrait/vertical orientation, and I'd like to upload them straight to facebook without first downloading and editing them to the proper orientation.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Sorry, never got any replies about this. Anyone have and info on this, please?

Congrats you are the 1000th post on page 100 in this thread!

Hey guys,

just to let you know,
viperboy is very busy atm, and barely watching this thread.
Might be a good idea to wait with more posts until he chimes
back in!

my phone will not show a voice mail notification if the phone has been powered off while the voice mail came. I would like to know what could cause this, I don't want to have to go check for voice mail everytime I have had my phone powered down to save the battery . Thanks, Dad
