I got my Droid 2 on launch day, so I believe I'm up for an upgrade as of a couple days ago, but I'm really undecided about where to go from here. I like having a google developer device, but there should be hardware out very soon that's a step above the galaxy nexus. I don't think I'm going to...

I'm just looking for a general sense from the rooters and romers out there--does anyone think an ICS rom will ever come to the Droid 2? I got my D2 on launch day, so I'm going to be eligible for an upgrade late next month. I'd like to hold off and run out the end of my contract so I have the...

Whenever my headphone jack wiggles inside the headphone port, it launches the default music app and starts playing. What's odd is it doesn't do this when i first plug my headphones in. It's annoying because it usually happens when I'm listening to Mog or the music beta app. Is there any way to...

So it looks like mostly this update will just bring the tablet features we know and love to the phone side, but there are some nice bonuses for us. swiping away notifications and apps in the task switcher a data manager, for those who have 3g/4g disable apps, including pre-installed apps...

I have a crack in the chrome part of the front casing above the speaker. I didn't think it was going to be a big deal, but it's starting to separate from the rest of the casing. I have it held together with a piece of scotch tape, but I'd like something that doesn't look quite so terrible. I...

For those who didn't see, Google released a new music app as part of their I/O announcements: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.music&feature=search_result Has anyone else tried this out? It's seemed very sluggish to me with all the user-interface refinements. And that...

Just thought I would share this. I just bought a spare battery for my Droid 2 on Amazon for 5 dollars. It's an OEM battery sold directly through Amazon--not an authorized seller. I still thought it was a little shady, but I just tested it, and it's working fine. Amazon.com: Motorola DROID and...

Video: DROID 2 Multimedia Dock Review | Droid Life: A Droid Community Blog I swear I had the thing sitting on my desk for three days and I had no idea it had a removable inset for if you had a case until I watched the video.

Has anyone found a way to use the 8gb internal storage for anything but storing about 8000 apps?

Not sure if this is common knowledge, but long-pressing your soft keys can bring up useful shortcuts for you. Menu - Long pressing menu will bring up a software keyboard no matter where you are. I'd imagine this is more useful for phones that don't have a hardware keyboard, but I've found use...

Via Droid Life Anyone brave enough to try this? Remember, this doesn't mean you can run custom roms due to the locked bootloader

I don't know if anyone else was having issues with Launcher Pro having less than smooth transitions between homepages and preview mode, but I just downloaded today's update, and now it feels like a 1ghz phone ought to feel: buttery smooth

I installed LauncherPro, but I want to try out the default skin again to see if it has any redeeming qualities. I know that the Home Switcher app doesn't work in Froyo, and clearing my LauncherPro defaults doesn't give me the option to switch back. So my question is this: if I uninstall...

Anyone holding out for the R2-D2 edition? I was looking at the R2-D2 edition, because in a previous Engadget Story they had a mock up that looked completely black. Now I'm thinking that was just a general Droid2 shot in low lighting that they photoshopped a picture of the lovable astrodroid on...
