Clear your home screens before you upgrade

http://www.droid-life.com/2010/08/03/manual-android-2-2-update-for-motorola-droid/
This site has the download for 2.2 although I waited for the OTA.  It also has the beta flash, but again I'll just wait for an official release.  But when you read through the site they recommend you clear your home screens before you update.  Whether it really should be done or not I don't know but I did it and my upgrade has gone flawlessly.  If it helps with a cleaner install it's worth it.  Plus you are going to want to reorganize your screens since you are getting 5 of them anyway.

Pretty much just bragging rights for the nerd world.  A higher score doesn't necessarily mean it's a better phone.  Unless the devices are running the same apps, settings, etc it's a relatively pointless number other than saying mine is bigger than yours.  Below is the Quadrant score of my Droid running at 1GHz from a while back.  Does that mean it's better than the N1, Shadow/Droid X or Galaxy S? not really

  • Do your Home Work BEFORE you "upgrade" to snow leopard

    Here is my experience with this upgrade... I provide in hopes to prevent others from spending hours and hours with this upgrade...
    1. First, I have 3 video cards in my MacPro. One is an ATI HD3780. Once I upgraded to Snow Leopard, my mac would not boot and just got the black square of death on the screen. I removed the card, then tried to find the new drivers for this card, which do not exist on ati's web site that I could find. I finally found my original install disk, installed the graphics card drivers, reinstalled the card and now my machine boots.
    This Snow Leopard "upgrade":
    2. It removed all my mail plugins, didn't simply move them to a disabled folder, so I had to reinstall them:
    -Dockstar
    -SpamSieve
    3. Many other 3rd Party apps had to be updated. More than any upgrade I have done with the Mac. I had to go thru the applications folder and try every 3rd part application, and a ton of them now had to be re-serialized, and some don't work at all. I had a ton of screen savers that don't work now, and it doesn't disable them it deletes them.
    In all this was the most cumbersome "upgrade" I have ever done on a mac, and I have been upgrading macs for almost every version of the os. IF this "upgrade" was labeled as it truely is " a New Install", I would expect all the things I have had to deal with. Calling this an upgrade is downright goofy..
    Good resource BEFORE you upgrade:
    http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
    Summary:
    If you want to upgrade, and you have a mac that has lots of applications on it, you may want to set aside around 4-5 hrs to get your mac working like it was before the upgrade. Also if you have older apps you may want to choose to install rosetta during the install process, and BEFORE you upgrade, get all your serial numbers for all your 3rd party apps just in case. Not all of mine asked for it, but enough did that it took around 4-1/2 hrs for me to get back to the point of before the install. (Glad I didn't install it on all my macs yet!). I am very happy I didn't install this on my work machine or I would be in major trouble, things like fink, etc... would all be trashed...

    Do your homework before you upgrade, or prepare yourself and set aside a lot of extra time..

  • On 10.4.11 Mac Mail I get this: Mail cannot update your mailboxes because your home directory is full. You must free up space in your home folder before using Mail. Delete unnedded documents or move documents to another volume. I can't open mail.

    On 10.4.11 iMac Mac Mail I get this message: "Mail cannot update your mailboxes because your home directory is full. You must free up space in your home folder before using Mail. Delete unneeded documents or move documents to another volume." I can't open mail to do this. I have reinstalled software but no effect. How do I get into Mail to delete?

    Found this on the "more like this" Worked like a charm!
    With the Mail.app quit and using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Mail. Copy the Mail folder and place the copy on the Desktop for backup purposes.
    Go to Home > Library > Mail > Envelope Index. Move the Envelope Index file to the Desktop.
    Launch Mail and you will be prompted to import mailboxes. Select OK and allow the import process to complete.
    After confirming all mailboxes were successfully imported and available, you can delete the copy of the Mail folder and old Envelope Index file from the Desktop and this should resolve the problem.

  • How do you get ical to show on your home screen?

    How do you get ical to show on your home screen? I deleted it from my homescreen (somehow) and i want to get it back.

    Just open the International preferences panel, go to Times, Customize, and click on the leftmost number (hours). A small triangle lights up, and a pop-up list of various formats opens. Just select the one you like (1-24 or 01-24). Make sure to set the Date & Time preferences to 24-hour clock first.

    Hi ...
    You need to take into account any applicable taxes and or fees.  iTUNES STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
    So if the total cost of the app exceeds 17$, you'll need to purchase and redeem another iTunes gift card.

    The buttons do wear out, and when they do you'd need to get the phone serviced.

  • It would be nice if you were able to set gif's as your home screen or lock screen

    Apple should create a new update to allow users to be able to set up gif's and videos as their home screen or lock screen . That would be a big hit !

    Tell Apple.

  • Before you Upgrade Read This...

    This support article explains how to save your old version of Final Cut Pro as a hidden Zip file and how to hide/save your work in case you decide to switch back AFTER upgrading to FCP 10.1:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5550

    Honestly 5.1 is what we should be hoping for, it has more fixes, better battery life, and more features than 5.0. But fat chance I guess. The VS985 leaked Lollipop image (23a) sucked a lot, so I bet Verizon is testing the Beta ROM extensively before reasling the OTA. Should be soon though since 23b is much more stable.

  • Can you display the battery strength in numbers on home screen like you would for the signal?

    I know you can view it at the option/status arena, but can you change the battery strength display at the home screen to numbers like you would on the signal?

    BatteryPercent = DeviceInfo.getBatteryLevel();
    LabelField Label1 = new  LabelField();
    Label1.setText(""+BatteryPercent+"%"); 
    you can use the above code to display battery percent
