Droid saying "droid"

[wakapapa]

I'm sure this is a dumb question but what is going on with the Droid when I hear it say "droid". It does this periodically when the Droid is turned on. I guess it's trying to notify me of something - but what?

It's either mail, text message, voicemail, or calendar.

That you have a droid. Lol sorry couldn't resist.

That's the standard notification. When it turns on, it does it to let you know that it's booted the phone and mounted the SD card successfully. If you want it to stop, then you need to change your "default notification" in the sound settings.

And in each app such as SMS, Gmail, GTalk... you can edit settings to change what notification sound it uses... Some even let you change the LED blinking color. Very nice so you know if you got a new email or chat.

missed call (on the market) will let you change the notification sounds of most features

You don't really need an app to change sound notifications. You can do it in your settings.

Now you might need one for individual contact notifications.....

It's just lonely and really wants to hear your voice back. When you hear it, just say your name back to it.

A needed droid is a happy droid.

OT, but my wife and I both have Droids. To make some kind of audible differentiation between the two, I extracted the "Droid" WAV, ran it through an audio editor and pitch shifted it up an octave (called the file Droid-ette). Now, when they are sitting in the chargers in the other room and the notifications start coming in, it sounds like they are having a conversation:

DROID!
Droid
Droid
DROID!

Hey Jim #777,

What widget are you using for volume on the top of the 2nd screen from the left?

Thanks
Monty

That's a skinned version of Audio Manager, I believe, available with the paid version of the app.

Keep an eye on the notification bar. It does this once the SD Card is prepared for use. I think it may do this once on startup during the animation as well...

Any chance of sharing?
I'm a poor, poor Milestone owner and I'd love it to be able to Droid-it-up for notifications.

Here it is droid.ogg
Droid actually uses .ogg not .WAV as the previous poster said . If you are rooted and have rootexplorer you can put it directly in /system/media/audio/notifications , if not use your notification folder on the SDCard

Ohhhh it says droid when it boots up.. that's the SD Card Notification. You can either disable that completely or change it to a different sound.
