So during the data outage this morning, i turned on wifi to read my morning news. When i first enable wifi, i see my network with full signal strength (my wireless router is on my desk which is literally 10 feet away from me. I entered in my WEP key, it said it was obtaining my ip address...

On the last two calls I made, I put the call on speakerphone. Immediately after doing so, the person I was talking to said it sounded very echo-y, and they could hear themselves talking. To fix this, all I did was take speakerphone off, and immediately turn it back on. Has anyone else...

Does anyone know if there are any wireless charging mats that will work with the Nexus? I believe this is possible with a NFC battery? I know there are docks, and I had a dock for my Droid 1, but it would be really cool if I could just set my phone on something, opposed to having to dock it. I...

I remember seeing in the demos of the Nexus, the ability for the camera to detect faces and warp them in some odd and humorous way (i.e. make your head large, twirl your face, etc.). Has anyone figured out how to do this? I don't see an option to do these weird effects in the camera application.

I don't know if this has happened to anyone else, but sometimes people randomly get text messages that I had sent them previously. For example, yesterday, I text someone my dinner plans. They received the text message, and responded to it. Today, they randomly received the same text message...

I recently went to the Verizon store because three of my keyboard keys were falling off my Droid. I got my phone on release day, and I was one of the people that got a Droid with the bubbly keys, opposed to the flat keyboard. Anyway, the Verizon employee told me that there was an issue with...

Since sometime in June-July, I noticed that my phone was getting rather sluggish (it probably was happening for awhile, but this is when I noticed it). For example, sometimes I would load up the web browser or Handcent, and it would take anywhere from 3-5 seconds before I could do anything...

A friend of mine (who also has a Droid) uses handcent, and on several occasions, her texts go to the wrong people! So for example, she will send a text to person A, and on person A's sms thread, you can see the text message. All of a sudden, person B will respond to the message, and when you...

This is the second time this has happened to me: I had a full nights charge and barely used my phone at all today. I was just watching a hockey game and at the end of the period, I noticed my phone LED was blinking red and the battery warning came up that said it had 5% battery left. The...

I have not looked at Chrome OS yet so I am looking for some feedback on how to tether with it. Using a non-rooted Droid, is it possible to tether with Chrome OS? I know there are ways to tether your non-rooted Droid with Linux/Windows/Mac, but the software required will not run under Chrome OS...

I have two questions: 1.) Google Android developers have said that task killing is not needed due to the way the Android OS handles processes. Am I the only one, or does killing apps significantly increase the overall speed of the phone? For example, if I have 23mb of memory left, scrolling...

My girlfriend got her Droid on Christmas, I got mine on launch day. I have heard several rumors that there are different Droid keyboards, but didn't think much of it. Last week, my girlfriend asked if she could use my phone to text her friend because she left her phone in the car. After...

Somebody on another forum said they returned their Droid and got another one, and says they think the keyboard feels way better. They submitted two pictures, one of their old Droid, one of their new Droid. Old Droid: New Droid: Maybe there is some type of illusion going on, but it...

After I updated to 2.01, like most people, I have found a significant increase in battery life (if you consider around 20% increase significant). That being said, this strange "bug" has happened to me twice. (Considering how much I use my phone, twice is pretty rare) I was doing something on...

I picked up the Droid on launch day, and after playing with it for a few minutes, I really wanted to write some apps. I am putting this in the Droid forum (opposed to a more general Android forum) because I like to test code on hardware/devices I actually own, and since I own a Droid and have...
