Rofl who can go through 7 phones in 4 months... Ive had mine since the beginning of december, rooted in february, and it's still going strong.
I agree with you, although instead of this thread turning into a flame contest, where it very well could have lol, I was trying to go the other route and provide them with a solution...... so in fact they would either follow it or STFU hehe
it seems to have worked. lmao
whats a STFU??? sounds offensive in a way. haha j/k
See, a solution for someone at least.
froggy, when u were on 2.1 the first time, did you do the OTA update or manual install it the first time? And did you do the OTA this time or manual install it this time?

Shut The F*$& Up!
Ohhhhh noooooo heeeeeeee diiiiidddnnnnnntttttttt......
Ohhhhh yessssss heeeeeeeee diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiidddddddddd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:icon_eek: dancedroid
First time was OTA. Then I RSD flashed to 2.0.1 and then rooted to 2.1.
So I guess every few days when something acts stupid with this phone I should wipe it clean and start over? What's the point of this phone having all this socalled ability when its gotta be reformatted every week?
OpErAtoR ErRorrrr
I like that LOL.
OK. so when you rooted the 2.1, did you manually root it (with adb) or did you install the 2.1 update with superuser, etc already included? I'm just trying to get specifics for the OP cuz its likely she had a bad update install. I think thats what the mystery 69MB 2.1 update that was seen recently might be about.
A possible fix for her could be to flash back to 2.0.1 and let the OTA install again. (I went back to 2.0.1 to see something last week and on first boot the OTA was downloading.)
You went through 7 droids in 4 months? Sounds like user error to me. Find it hard to believe you got 7 faulty phones...

I know at least 5 other technologically literate people who also have droids and they haven't had any major problems with them (like the ones you guys describe). Some of my friends who know people that have droids said they have a lot of problems with them and some have returned them. I tend to think these "problems" are just typical software errors that we all deal with on a regular basis but some people can't handle it or don't know how to fix the simple problems. Android is a (relatively) new OS and of course its going to have some bugs, that's why they release updates. As for the droid: it's a new piece of technology that will probably have a few kinks here and there but that's expected with everything that's new.
At the OP: if you hate the phone just because the pictures mess up, you most likely haven't explored the phone and found 95% of the other features that work perfectly and make this an awesome device. If you can't get it to work stock, why not try rooting it and see if that fixes anything?
Same here, I got the phone back in the beginning of march and immediately started reading up on all the stuff you could do to it, I though it was a little risky since there's a lot of "cover your a$$" warnings saying that you could brick your phone and such. I was a little leery of this since I had just bricked my xbox360 that was a year old by trying to do the JTAG hack (I fried the southbridge with rogue solder). After I found matth3w's guide I followed it with no problems and haven't had a serious problem yet. I have had a lot of software problems but that's most likely due to incompatible roms, kernels, and just plain ignorance on how stuff should work (what rom will play nice with what kernel, what settings to use, etc..). For example, any version of CM will run fine for me but JRummy's CM is always laggy for me, and it always seemed that no matter what kernel I tried and what rom I tried, it would always become laggy and crash a lot after 2 day to a week. I'm on BB v1 with a 1.2GHz kernel and its solid except for the occasional crash, which happens even on stock android devices (Ive seen FCs on my friends HTC eris and incredibles).
I was just about to say that but you beat me to it!
Most problems with technology are due to user error, even though the user will swear up and down that its a hardware problem.

Dude, before you have a stroke, why don't you just cut your losses and get a different kind of device? Not sure if it was you or the OP who felt like their intelligence was being questioned but, the mods on this forum don't stand for that. I'm sure you've been in your VZW store enough about your problems with the many Droids you've had to warrant a "switchout" for lack of a better term.
The only problems I've had is with a couple of apps. Actually, before we got the 2.0.1 update, I had to do a battery pull once. Droid was saying that battery was low right after I fully charged it. No other problems or episodes with my device. Personally, I wouldn't bother trying to figure it out. I'd march my narrow azz right to VZW and tell them I'm through with the Droid saga. JMHO.

Personally I think you guys are being had. This is just a troll trying to see how long a topic will go on. I stopped believing the guy when he said he was a Cell phone repairman. This is probably some other phone owner just making up crap to mess with us. :iphone: :blackberry:
