So recently exchanged mt LG Ally back after the 2.1 software was causing issues nand what not for my VZW ugraded phone so 3 days later i asked if they had any Droid 2's. Paid like $200 extra for it and never looked back on it. Had it for bout 5 days now.

Got a hard rubber case and screen protectors for it. And the apps or downloaded stuff i have are....

>Adobe Flash 10.1
>Advandced Task Killer
>Air Horn
>AndroNotes
>Barcode Scanner
>Ringdroid
>Coupons
>Fbook
>My Verizon
>Paper Toss
>ScoreCenter
>Shopper
>The Weather Channel


Phone is running like a champ and i tried the whole USB thing for the ringtones and got confused so i used ringdroid and it works awsome.

Welcome to the Android World! :)

If you have any questions there are a ton of people willing to help!
Read up on the rules and check out the search button before you
ask a question. A lot of us have gone through your problem before
you have ;)

Further more,
You should delete/uninstall the Task Killer, It does more harm than good.
The Android Operating System has a built in task killer and having
a 3rd party one creates conflict draining your battery.
This has been brought fourth from Google developers themselves.
There is a thread with a video around here somewhere that will tell you
all about it.

When my gf is sleepin I use the airhorn to wake her up lol! I turn the media
volume up by going into the dial screen without making any noise first... lol :)

HAVE FUN! :)

:welcome: I am glad someone else has explained the negative effects of a Task Killer on the system of your device, as most here would agree, you should uninstall it :)

thanks guys, i just uninstalled the task killer. My day is a 630-330 then phone stays off charger till bout 11-12 and im down to bout 20% battery at this point with calls and txting so its decent but yah.



Also i made a thread bout the USB MOUNT on these phones. When i connect my droid 2 i dont get an option to MOUNT it i get 4 other options. PC ONLY, WINDOWS MOBILE SYNC, USB MASS STORAGE, and CHARGE ONLY.

Cool im a pretty chill dude never argue or anything and just basically say dont do it if i think its bad or what not. Just help and learn like my car forum.

But on topic, i deff love the droid 2, my buddy got the HTC EVO from sprint and even tho it has a kickstand and larger screen i still think the Droids are better phones and VZW has the best service IMO.

We have them all here, Moto, HTC, Samsung, personally I choose Motorola but the EVO is a nice device, if your buddy isn't on the forum yet you should let him know :)

Yah the Droid's looks sturdier the others and VZW offers all the droids to. And hes not a big computer guy especially phone forums, but i can let him know see if hell come on.
