Verizon Tech here - ask away!

I took some pictures I am trying to send to my computer.
I have tried the 'share' button on the pics.. no photo arrived in my Inbox. So then I tried my email button but again no email arrived. Am I doing something wrong?
Also is there a 'sent' folder for texts or just the thread view?

Thanks for your help

I know that the question has been asked but I havent found any solutions yet. Do you know if there is a way to increase the overall font size of the phone? Specifically the problem that I am trying to solve is email, but if we could increase everything like you can on a Blackberry, that would be nice.

Do I need to install any driver on my windows 7 laptop for it to allow me to transfer files? Right now I can only transfer files by removing the sd card and inserting it seperately. My laptop does show a motorola device connected, but I cant do anything with it.

On the Droid, check the Notification area. There should be an entry that says "USB Connected, Tap to mount SD card" or something like that. Make sure that SD card is actually mounted. Then it should show up like a USB flash drive would in your My Computer.

This is so a n00b question but here it goes anyway... is the latest update ok to do? I did the update in early december and it wrecked my phone. literally had to get a new one. is 2.1 safe?

I did "mount" it, but it shows up as a device I can't open, "Motorola A855"

There is no 2.1 update yet. You most be referring to the 2.0.1 and yes, it's safe. Though always keep in mind that ANY update will likely break some (if not several) of the apps if the developers haven't kept up.

I subscribed (via My Verizon) for local movie and weather updates. Every night @ midnight I get 8 texts with current movie info and the local weather. I replied to the weather text and the movie texts with <STOP> and the weather text stopped. The movies keep coming. I did <STOP> again--they keep coming. I did <CANCEL> they keep coming. Now, my replies are rejected, and the texts don't show a phone number, only the first word in the movie title.

Help!!! How do I stop these texts???

Goto your MyVerizon home (overview)>select messaging (in the middle of the screen)>Select Alerts - then on the menu on the left select "manage alerts".
Note: this is via a computer (i.e. browser) doesn't look like you can do it via the phone.

Did that. There were no alerts shown, even in the history. I am stumped.

Thought I had responded to this... huh... It's time to go into a store or call them. I would say go to the store if possible that way you can SHOW them that you are getting the txts (as the CS person on the phone will likely be looking at the same thing you are, with the exception you can tell them to look at your actually SMS history). At any rate keep track of how many you have/are receiving that way you can get credit for them (if you need it).
