Hi, I've just broke my droid cherry for the very first time. I Kept putting it off every since the first droid X or the incredible. It's been so long I cant remember which one but it's been a long time. Waiting for the latest and the greatest I got the "Bionic". So when they told use we were grandfathered in our unlimited data plan I got my wife the "Thunderbolt" plus the $100 new every two that we had and the $100 gift card for each of our old chocolate's. I'll in up paying $99 for the bionic so we had to go for it! I'm looking forward to leaning new thing and making new friends.

Hey - I finally registered to the site. Looking for ways to optimize my D2G which I have had for about 6 months. Works fine, but so did my old HTC Touch Pro 2. Yes, I am proud to admit that I enjoyed Windows Mobile, especially when it comes to outlook. I have the gingerbread update for my D2G.

Let's see. I am currently in Nowhere, Ohio. I have a great job and love IT. I wish I didn't as when it doesn't work neither do people for some reason. it's disgusting really. Anyway i've been in IT about 20 years and can pretty much hack it all. Just got my droid Bionic though my first time was with the LG Ally (yeah I know it was free).

I love being outside and despise sitting behind the desk but since we have to make money might as well do this! I love to read and write and would perish without my kindle (actually I prefer REAL books but it seems publishers see them as a dying breed). I have two wonderful awesome boys who are the reason I strive to be a better person father and man. tha'ts me in a nutshell as a writer I could go on but this will do.

When you "long press" the picture, what menu option do you get?

Well, being rooted, if you are, you will find there are ROMs available and tools to asign actions...in my case, I have my proximity set so when it comes out or in the case, it comes on or off..know what I mean? Its that simple..find a proximity app, or an app that has these features..I believe cm7 rom has this ability...

Ok brother hold up...lol Um you must really be new to this, but fret not...First, check around and see if root is for you..I can asure you its safe, and if you make a backup and learn to sbf, you'll never have to worry about your warranty...anyway, Welcome to the forum...I would like to add, you have a Godly device...Root may not really be something you feel a necessity..however, it will save much battery by freezing bloat.. Also ROMs are being made always for our devices...They are an alternative to what your seeing and running now...Stock is ok, but not for everyone...Your machine you hold in your hands is more than you can possibly imagine...So, "rooting" will basically give you development access or total access to your files..so you can change many things, including speed and etc...Most people freeze their bloat..some of us, including me, run a whole different system that would and does blow peoples minds..It doesn't look like the UI it came with and the speeds are rediculous..lol Anyway...You may be able to find in the market, and app that will do what I was stating earlier...Its proximity can be asigned tasks like, wake phone on "whatever distance it is from your case to the phone to make it stay off", to coming on, when the distance is farther away..see? Proximity! Lol It will do many things..These phones can find ghosts if you believe in them..lol Ok..well, I have to get to work..you can pm me if you want to root...if so..I have all the info you need...Also, there are many other qualified users that can help...I am one of the many...lol I have been doing this for a few years...I also fix broken phones...lol peace! If you have any questions just ask..I will check my box when I can! Welcome to the machine!!! And remember, Look around, on youtube and google your phone and see what root can do..and search google for proximity awaken apps....
