Yup just went through and checked the ones that don't have pics, EXACT names, every letter and everything. Yeah, I've synched like twenty times.

Meh.

Thanks for all the help/suggestions! Looks like I'm just doomed to have 2/3rds of my contacts with pictures, and the rest without.
 
Ever since I had my phone wiped by verizon my favorites screen won't make calls. I used to pan over to my favorites and hit the persons picture I wanted to call and it called like a dream. Now I pan to the screen hit the button and it opens up that person contact list. I cannot stand my Eris I have had it wiped by verizon twice now and it still gives me problems.
 
Set up my Incredible email to connect to my existing mail servers. Entered server information using both the automatic discovery method (which failed to connect) then setup the record manually (which also failed to connect). The message displayed is "Warning Cannot connect to the mail server to verify your account information. Your server is not responding."

My targeted servers are both on officelive.com and use non-standard port numbers. I have no problem when using my Outlook client but with the HTC client, I do.

Any suggestions on how to trouble shoot this problem?
 
I just got a Certified Like-New replacement phone from Verizon, and i imported my google contacts and facebook, but i noticed that some names that i didn't use last name didn't sync with facebook, while others did. I have looked in the settings and everything, but can't figure out how it synced some facebook friends but not others.

Hi I just ordered the Droid X and will have to wait a week or so for it to come. Did I just read somewhere that the Droid X doesn't work with Microsoft Outlook Email? Coming from a Storm this is a MAJOR factor..
 
I am very new to the world of Android and not very techno-savvy, so I need some help. I downloaded a ringtone and saved it, and it comes up in my list of ringtones, but when I select it I can't hear any preview and my phone has no audible ring. Only when I select one of the pre-set ringtones do I get any sound. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks for any help.
 
I'm having a lot of problems with the headphone jack on my Droid... but i bought it from Best Buy. Would a Verizon store be able to help me get a replacement, or do I have to fight it out with Best Buy?
 
Got my PC36100 today. Trying to set up my Verizon E-mail account using my outlook pop3 settings. Still, it doesn't work.

Does anybody know the verizon settings.

For now I imported my Verizon E-mail account in to Gmail. That works!

I'd like them to be separated if possible.

TIA

On my old cell phones, I was able to enter # and * in my phone number contact list in order to simplify phone calls to my home voicemail number (I access the messages through a different phone number than my house).

I can't figure out how to do it on this Motorola Droid I just was given.

Any advice?
 
My company just started using Good for Enterprise to sync smartphones to their Exchange server (and they are disabling ActiveSync). Why do I HAVE to buy the corporate email plan just to use the Good software? Seems to me that Verizon and Good made an agreement just to make more money (i.e. screw their customers)...
 
Does anyone know how to delete non-Google (that is, POP3) email accounts from my Mot Droid phone after I have added them?
 
I've had my Moto Droid since December. The call quality was never fantastic, but OK. Since yesterday, I suddenly noticed a very scratchy speaker on my calls. The speaker sounds "blown." Phone was not recently dropped; I can't figure out what might have changed to cause this. (I did force the 2.2 upgrade a couple of weeks ago, but the scratchy speaker just started yesterday.) Is it time to call Verizon? The sound quality is so bad that it hurts my ears and I don't want to use my phone as a phone (which I don't much anyway, but still need that functionality!).
 
I have an Incredible, and over the past couple of days I haven't been able to get apps to download from the Market. The app or updates say that they are downloading, but the DL never actually starts. I've also noticed that my Gmail account isn't refreshing automatically like it should.

Any ideas? I've searched for an answer, and haven't found anything recent.
 
Ive got the update.zip on my SD Root but when i go into recovery menu to install it it goes to

--Install from sdcard...

Thats the exact error message

Anyone got any ideas how to fix this?
i got the OTA to download after i went into "settings/about phone/system updates" n it downloaded but it would not install that way either ive tryed resetting my phone back to factory settings like 4 times i whipped all sd card data and still nothing.....
 
I just recently got a refurb droid, and it has some problems with anything 3D, like games or the gallery. I get severe artifacting and vertical lines. Is this fixable or should I go get another refurb?
 
My phone jumbled my contacts together somehow so I was texting to different numbers than the contacts I thought I was. I deleted a contact and re-entered it hoping that would solve the problem. It didn't. I restarted my phone and it seperated the contacts but the one I deleted and re-entered doesn't show up as a Facebook contact. Is there a way I can get the Facebook info back for this contact.
 
sorry if anyone had already post this: Is there a way to keep my phone from vibrating upon receiving a text message when I'm on a call? I want to keep vibration on, just not when I'm on the phone. This is very annoying!
 
Just got the newest OTA on 9/4. It did fix some issues I was having with my phone, but now I have a new problem. All of my apps that use my location aren't using my correct location. Google Maps puts me 200 miles away, eventually if I wait long enough it will correct itself, but it won't stick. Soon as I close GM and open it again, I'm right back 200 miles away. Same thing with my browser only it's a different location. The weather and news app is the same, just again a different location. I loved my phone until the 2.2 update when I was having severe lag issues. Since a 2nd update was coming soon I lived with it. Now this problem.

I called into verizon tech support today and of course all I got was we have no idea, lets send you a refurb. So I have one coming, but if I can fix my phone I would much prefer that. My phone was perfect and worked flawlessly until 2.2 update. Any ideas? I've tried battery pulls, factory resets, I only have 4 apps loaded so it's not like I'm trying to run a billion things.
