Hello people,
I had to reset my phone in order to change my main gmail account (you can't seem to wipe the original one, only add or delete new ones and my calendar wasn't working). Wasn't a big deal and this time I declined to set up a motoblur account as I don't use motoblur (have too many facebook contacts for this aspect to work well, and I have go launcher ex/launcher pro/slidescreen aternatives.
However...
There is talk of a froyo/other update it seems, and when I checked for updates it told me it could not do so wihtout a motoblur account set up.
My question: Am I better off w/o motoblur set up (irregardless of the froyo thing), as in will it stop needless updates and stuff and make my phone faster w/o it running in the bg or is this not how it works and I may as well set it up? I heard so many people resentful of having to have a motoblur account so I thought I'd see if this really was necessary and it seems it isn't for the time being (I've been running everything fine for the last month).
Also, is it true that I cannot update to froyo (when/if this happens) w/o a motoblur account running (I did make one prior to reset I just haven't logged into it).
Furthermore, I can't seem to get a facebook account to work in the 'other' section of Accounts. Even if I did sign into motoblur on my phone, I would not want to sign into fb via motoblur as it mixes it in with your phone contacts and you can't seem to delete them. Has anyone managed to add a working fb account to the accounts section with or without motoblur? Is this connected to me not having signed into motoblur?
Thanks
Ps. maybe I should start a new thread but a quick question which you can just ignore if you want is has anybody changed their number and had it stay the old one in the phone info section. Mine is the old temporary number I had before transferring my number over, perhaps this too is related to my not having signed into motoblur.
