V4junkie Posted November 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Just watched this comparison:http://reviews.cnet.com/8601-6452_7-380-1.html?communityId=2136&targetCommunityId=2136&tag=tbackand it made me mad. That was about as unbiased as Fox News. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disclaimer Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Can anyone tell me if it's got a hardware FM tuner??No one mentions it on the Droid, but I've heard that the iPhone has one built in (just not enabled, probably will be with a firmware update, as a "look what we can do now" thing without replacing handsets).Is Droid hiding an FM tuner on the PCB somewheres even though it's not mentioned anywhere and no current apps unlock and enable it?

V4junkie Posted November 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 (edited) Got the SNES emulator working last night, played some Chrono Trigger and it was smooth as butta. Have to spend $3.50 on the full emu if you want to save your games. I'm ok with that.Oh and if anyone wants an easy program to drag and drop music onto an android phone here's the one I'm using:http://www.doubletwist.com/dt/Home/Index.dtP.P.S. if you think your camera is slow, back it off the 3mp. Less image processing speeds stuff up a LOT and we all know 3mp is great for everyday stuff. I'll probably only switch it back to 5mp if I'm on vacation or something like that.

KawayZ Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 I've thought about getting an iPhone for awhile now, but I'm sticking with Verizon. I keep hearing that iPhone will be on Verizon sometime or other. I saw the Droid advertisement, went online that night to read about it, and I like what I read about it.Thanks for all the information. I think a Droid is my Christmas present to myself...after everyone else is taken of, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V4junkie Posted November 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 i just pulled mine files over on my computer to my phone i didnt use any program????Yeah you can do it as a USB drive too. I just like this program because it brings all my files to one place, I can sync all or drag stuff without going into the directory. Probably only saves me a total of 10 seconds each time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V4junkie Posted November 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Trouble in paradise over here. Well, not the phone's fault. Bought a cheap micro USB charger on eBay to keep at work. Long story short, when plugged into the phone and the screen is on it looks like a 4 year old on Skittles and Mountain Dew is playing with my phone. Random swipes, shakes, presses, etc. I don't know if it's the voltage or some sort of static interference, I don't know enough about this stuff. Anyway, looks crazy. Phone is fine when off of the charger or when on the charger and the screen is off.Weird . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagr Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Nerdfact: Droid is a registered trademark of LucasFilms. Saw the fineprint at the bottom of the commercial. That is all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cdubyah Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 FYI there is a problem with Motorola Droid, according to a verizon friend.This only affects some, and not all, but figured it was worth mentioning.The problem is with the speaker. Doesn't always seem to have the correct volume. Often very quiet, even when turned up fully. Supposedly there is a software patch coming out in December for it. To resolve the problem, remove the battery and turn it back on.2nd note. I love this thing. I went with the HTC Eris though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harb67 Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 not a problem haha. oh figured out one thing that i hate...the usb charging cords are short as fuck! gotta find me a 6footer haha and one know what size that cord is where is plugs into the phone?USB 2.0 A Male to Micro B - 3ft $0.83USB 2.0 A Male to Micro B - 6ft $1.07 (temporarily out of stock though)USB 2.0 A Male to Micro B - 10ft $1.41USB 2.0 A Male to Micro B - 15ft $1.68You said you wanted a 6 foot one, but sadly, they're on backorder for a bit. If you're willing to spare the extra 34 cents though, you can get a 10 foot one, or an uber-extravagant 15 foot one for just 27 cents over the 10 foot one.
