I am constantly running into an issue where the phone will let me dial, but when I hit send it freezes for a few seconds and then returns to the home screen. If I try to select a contact and dial that way I get the same results.
The next issue that pops up frequently deals with texts. I'll attempt to reply to a text and I'll get the spinning circle for a few mins and then the send fails. But after it fails, I receive the message that I was replying to 3 or 4 times in a row. No amount of battery pulls or reboots seems to solve the issue. Has anyone else had similar issues? ]]> Motorola Handsets jdefe http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f60/stock-apps-crashing-28671/ http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f12/video-converting-28670-new/ Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:52:24 GMT Is there an app to convert vid files into playable vids on the phone.

Again, I am coming from a Palm 700p. Now, I am in a few weeks and a lot of the learning curve is behind me (although I keep finding new things). But a few little stickers keep getting me and I am not sure how to get around them. So, I am putting this out to the Android Old timers. I keep trying to do searches, but there is enough differences between 2 and previous versions, that it is hard to tell what should and shouldn't be working. Also, if something sounds like complaining, the complaints are relatively few and gathered together in one post. I could go on and on about the good things.

I will warn you ahead of time, this is in no particular order and sort of hops around.

On that note I start off by stating how much I like the Droid. It is a lot of fun and has SO much to offer. It really feels like a little tiny PC and less like a phone. If fact, I have had to change my mindset to think of it like a computer, not a phone. It is just a computer that happens to make calls too. The screen is just... well coming from the old Palm OS, it is so... massive and rich and gosh darned sharp. yeah yeah yeah... get on with it...

Ok, question 1, when going into messaging and I want to start a new message, I get the "To" box. I will start to type someone's name, but no contacts show up. Am I missing something here? On the palm, I would just start a new message, start to type a name and it would start to sift down through the names. Here it is like there is no connection between the messaging and contacts (aside from the tab at the top).

In the phone area, it would be nice if it had a search box right there. Currently I have to go to contacts, then select the contact, then select which number to call. On the palm, you just set up some defaults. I am using the stared set but it would be nice for faster searching.

It would be cool if when a message comes in, it would turn on the screen, and if you unlock it, it would go straight to the message.

I love that I can be playing a game (which tends to be Robo Defense a lot lately) and a call comes in, it goes to the phone (nothing new here), but then when the call is over, it goes back to the game. Man on the palm, I could go back into it, but I would have to start over at the beginning.

Is there an easy way to swap between open apps? As I understand it, I have to long press the home key and wait for the little window to pop up. Then select it. In many apps it is like starting the app for the first time, it does not go to it's previous state which is what I think of when we talk multitasking.

Camera...
I bought the device with the understanding that the camera took crappy pictures. I am sort of ok with this because I do have a rather nice camera that I carry most places. BUT, that said, even with this "date round off" focus issue on the current time cycle, I gotta say that my phone still can't focus for crap. It will focus up nicely. Take a psudo still (which looks great BTW) then after a few seconds a different picture shows up with totally color that is totally wrong and focus that is no where near what the proxy was. Really odd. They need to put out a call to Canon and see if they can get some pointers.
Now, on my side of fault, I have to learn not to hold it with my left hand as it keeps in the way. Hands free and clear, I hope they do make this work better.

Video...
I know that the iPhone offers editing of their videos. Is this within the possibilities of this device? I would love to be able to trim and join some of these clips. I am actually finding that the video camera is a lot of fun.

Can anyone offer any good apps (not strictly games) that really show off the capabilities of the video processing? I have tried Iteration which does some cool stuff, but is not interactive at all. Speed Forge 3D is about the heaviest thing I could find and it looks great.

Is there any way to adjust the sensitivity of the 4 face buttons. I always seem to hit the back or search buttons all the time. It is a little annoying. ]]> Android OS Discussions myx_2000 http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f7/feelings-and-perhaps-questions-about-droid-i-e-android-2-0-a-28664/ http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f28/stupid-question-28663-new/ Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:43:40 GMT ive gone through the process of rooting my g1 more times than i wish to remember. i've tried more roms this yr than i've had g/fs. i'm totally in love with my phone. one thing i've never done...and dont plan to... is updating the spl. i know this is a sure fire way to brick your phone if your not careful.

I hope this Dec 11 update addresses the issue. simply because the Iphone is
lacking a landscape homescreen and previous Android versions didnt this open
doesnt mean the phone was intended to operate the way it is now

Is anyone else having this issue? is it a non issue that I should not be concerned about?
