Lets you upload music/pics/anything from your PC to the phone's SD card. Mounts the SD card as a disk drive in Windows. Before you select the Mount option in the Android OS, the drive will show up in "My Computer" but it won't let you see anything inside of it.
what do you mean the notification menu? just like the menu or what? I want to mount the droid now but cant figure out what you mean. ha sorry.
The top of the screen, where the clock/3G/mail notifications/etc are at... when you connect your Droid via the USB cable to a computer, it adds a section called "Ongoing" and an item in it is called "USB connected". Click that item and select "Mount".
ok i did this. Now, do you know how to get my music from itune sonto my phone??
or a way to customize the side buttons?
This may be a silly question, but how do you close an application?
On my BB if you left an app running it would drain speed and battery life, just like the Droid. However, there doesn't seem to be a "close" function for any of the menus. Am I missing something?
You have to get a task killer app from the market. There are a couple of free ones in there.
Got one, thanks.
Does anyone think there will there ever be a way to just close out an app in the future? Seems like a weird thing to leave out...
This is because apps still run in the background, including navigator/maps. So go to the market and download "TasKiller" with the red icon, ive tested em all and its the best I've found yet! Then just run its app and click once (not a holdclick) on every program you want to end, I do this multiple times a day just to keep the phone running fastsorry to ask....
So if I'm using google maps/nav, and then back it out... is it still running?
I notice the little satellite dish still active in the bar at top, is that my gps still running and draining battery?
I rebooted when I thought everything was closed and the dish went away.

I just learned that there already is a task killer built in to 2.0! Go to Home Screen>Settings>Applications>Running services.
From there you can stop any app/task.
is there a way to make a shortcut to that to put on your home screen?
From the home screen, hold down anywhere and then select shortcuts.
Then select settings
Then Running Services

I use funformobile.com for all my ringtones and pics it's a great free site. I was trying to download and save ringtones and wasn't able to save them. The picks work fine but not the ring tones . Any ideas thanks
No with all my other smartphones I just log on to funformobile click on what I want click download and then save to . It will download them to the phone I just can't save it after that. The pics worked the same just not the ringtones
I tried that and it never popped up. It doesn't really come as an MMS it just downloads and I save it to the phone. It has worked the same on my Blackberries and my WinMo phones so I thought it would work the same on this one as well maybe I am not holding it down long enough lol but I thought I gave it plenty of time.Thanks for your help I am sure I will figure it out after I play with it a while lol It is deffinatly a different ballgame but I like it.
