Droid 2 Global Text Hyperlink??

Hello all,As I was texting today I accidentally created a blue live Hyperlink in my message??Now that I know this is possible I cannot seem to re-create this action?? I have tried everything I can think of like typing www. or http, or just typing anything.com or .net,which is how it seemed to happen when I did it the 1st time it worked?? the link i created was a mistake i was typing the term "Figures as in it figures....so it was like this Figures then i ended with a period and was writing the next part which was to begin with im ... and what came up was a live blue hyperlink that said "Fugures.im" ??? So can anyone tell me how I did this and how to insert hyperlinks at will in a text message?? I cant find any info on how to do this but it is definitely possible!! Thank you!!

Hi! Welcome to the community forum!
To answer your question, I tried to create a hyperlink on my text messaging on the Android device. It did not create the hyperlink until I sent it and it showed in the conversation thread. Please try to type out a hyperlink like you normally would, like www.google.com, then hit SEND. This should then create the hyperlink.
Hope this helps!

Droid 2 Global-Cannot Send or Receive Text messages

I have a Droid 2 Global and the text messaging is not working. Whenever I try to send a text I get a message that it has not been sent. I also asked a friend to text me, and the text did not come through. I tried rebooting the phone (removing the battery and such), but that was to no avail. I am unable to send or receive text messages. Does anyone have suggestions?

Wow that must be very inconvenient! Do you know when you last able to send or receive a successful message? Are you able to send and receive e-mails? Is it possible you have a message blocking feature on your account? Are you using a third party messaging app or the standard messaging application from the handset?

Is it possible to save texts from Droid 2 Global to an outside source or sd?

I have texts on my Droid 2 Global that I need to keep for legal purposes (conversation with my child's father, my ex). Is there some way to save them to an outside source or sd card? Or can I sync them with my computer? Please help!

Droid 2 Global not receiving texts

Hi.
This just started happening yesterday. Haven't downloaded any apps for weeks, so nothing done to my phone.
I just decided to clean my phone one day and turned it off, took out the battery, blew a little bit inside and under the screen to try and clean it. Put everything back, turned on phone, and instantly got like 5 text messages from different people.
I confirmed with the senders they were from the day before
That evening, I texted someone in the same room as me, they successfully receive. But when they send texts to me, I never receive, and still to this point, have not received.
TO SUM IT UP:
not receiving texts, or receiving text over 24 hours later, in random order
using default phone text program
from other verizon users, and other sprint users
I have a Motorola Droid 2 Global, android 2.2
been a customer for... 5 months
located in Los Angeles
i hated at&t for bad reception but at least all my txt's went through.... and i honesty can't say Verizon's reception is any better
hints/tips that you tried with the same issue and worked?

Hi bananas,
I see that you did some basic troubleshooting according to your other post. I would recommend to clear the text message Data and Cache to clear any files interfering with your incoming messages. Open your text messaging application and follow the path below:
Menu>Settings>Applications>ManageApplications>All>Messages>ClearData & ClearCache (if not grayed out).
Please save any important messages you currently have (the steps above may delete all your current message and cannot be recovered) by sending then to yourself via email.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, the next troubleshooting steps is to do a Hard Reset which will bring your phone to original factory settings.
Please keep in mind that performing a hard reset will remove ALL data including the Google account, system data, application data, application settings, and downloaded applications.

Two Droid 2 Global phones - Flaky since software update

I have two Droid 2 Global phones which were purchased at the same time. Ever since the last software update, which I believe was the Gingerbread update, these phones have been acting flaky in several ways with various features just shutting down and only a restart of the phone able to make them work again. Both phones have been having the exact same problems so that leads me to believe it is likely software related.
1) It quits ringing...even with ringing volume turned all the way up, incoming calls just don't ring. Same with text messages. Restarting phone fixes the problem.
2) The camera will take a picture, but when you go to look at it in the gallery, it is just a blank image. Unless you go look at the gallery, you have no way of knowing the picture didn't take. Once again, restarting the phone fixes this.
3) I have similar issues with the bluetooth. I sync it up to my car stereo, but sometimes it just won't sync until I restart the phone.
With the age of these phones, I suspect there are no more software updates on the way from Verizon. Can anyone confirm that? Unfortunately, the last software update also prevented <Deleted per the Verizon Wireless Terms of Service.> Any suggestions on how to get these phones some sort of software update or useful again? A phone that doesn't ring isn't much use.

Hi jksoft,
I know how troubling these difficulties can be especially when it's happening to two lines of service. I extensively researched this trouble in our database as well as Motorola's and was unable to find this as any known trouble. The gingerbread update was the last release for the Droid 2 and no expected changes as of now.
Are you using the ringtones and notifications that are preloaded in the phone or the ones you have obtained elsewhere? If you haven't tried it yet, please use a notification tone and ringtone that is from the device itself. Let me know if this makes the device work correctly.
The trouble with camera and bluetooth don't have troubleshooting steps other than doing a hard reset of the device. This will completely wipe out the device but items like contacts and media can be backed up. To complete the reset go to http://bit.ly/rqKDhh and follow the steps for the preferred method. Please keep us posted as we may need to file an investigation with Motorola to review this.
Thank you,

How to use SIM card in Droid 2 Global?

So I have a Droid 2 Global because it has SIM card capabilities. I called Verizon to allow international roaming. Then I got the unlock code for my phone. Next I put a new-bought SIM card from China Mobile into my Verizon Droid 2 Global.
However, when someone calls my China Mobile phone number, my phone does not react. The caller hears a prerecorded message that the China Mobile phone number is incorrect or not connected.
When I call with my Droid 2 Global with the China Mobile SIM card inside, the receiving person sees my Verizon phone number.
My question is: How do I get my Droid 2 Global to recognize and use my China Mobile SIM card?
I don't want it to use my Verizon phone number while I am overseas. I like my Verizon service in the U.S., and I plan to return to it. I just thought the idea of a global phone with a SIM card was to be able to travel to other countries and use another SIM card if need be, and the sales representatives at my local Verizon store sold me this idea of international usage. Other users seem to have no problem. Please inform me of how it works
Thank you!

Hi mortb, thanks for your input.
However, that is not true about SIM cards. You can find accurate information about SIM cards through your search engine or even Wikipedia. SIM cards are meant to be swapped out. SIM cards are used in Europe and Asia more than the U.S. "The SIM card allows users to change phones by simply removing the SIM card from one mobile phone and inserting it into another mobile phone or broadband telephony device" (Wikipedia- SIM cards).
A SIM card holds the prepaid account value, telephone number, the user's address book, call logs, texts, etc. A lot of websites give the analogy: Say your phone is dead but you need to make a call. You can use your friend's cell phone with your SIM card and call. You won't be using your friend's minutes, but your own because you are using the minutes from your SIM card.
In my case, I want to use a local cell phone provider to make local calls. Theoretically speaking, I can do so if I swap out my SIM card for a local network's SIM.
Now Verizon locks all its phones to their Verizon SIM cards, so Verizon phones can only use Verizon SIM cards, but the Droid 2 Global allows you to unlock your SIM, meaning that you are going to put in another SIM card, aka another cell phone service provider.
So I am confused why I cannot use another carrier's SIM card. Can anyone explain why? Or what can I do to sync my China Mobile SIM to my Droid 2 Global?

Droid 2 Global: symbols attach to last word when typing???

I have searched and did not see any other topics about this. Has anyone noticed a problem while typing on the Droid 2 Global (in text messages, browser, etc) that if you type special characters/symbols, they attach to the end of the word you previously typed?
For example, a normal sentence would type like this:
"Hey I'm running to the store & I'll call you later."
However, on the Droid 2 Global, it types like this:
"Hey I'm running to the store& I'll call you later."
The & automatically attaches to the end of the previous word, even when I press the spacebar before typing it.
This happens for all symbols I have typed. Sure I can go back and edit it, but it is SUCH a pain to go back and RE-ENTER the space, when I already pressed the spacebar in the first place. I have tried turning "auto-correct" off and it still does this while typing. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks!

This is a well-discussed issue on the Motorola Forums, see https://supportforums.motorola.com/message/316254#316254
for the same issue on the Pro.
It will be fixed in the next update, whenever that will be! Unlike some other stuff though, we can be fairly sure that it WILL be fixed. The Droid X had the same issue and the update to that did solve the problem. One solution discussed there is to download Swiftkey (free) which alsosolves the issue on the physical keyboard. Didn't work for everyone though.

Droid 2 Global screen problems, vibrate problems, basically just a lot of problems?

So, I've had my Droid 2 Global (Gingerbread 2.3.4) for about a year and a half, and ever since I got it I've had problems with the touchscreen. I have not rooted or customized the phone in any way, nor have I ever damaged the phone or gotten it wet.
Windows will open by themselves, the music player and maps constantly open by themselves and drain the battery, any time I'm trying to send a text the keyboard goes haywire and will send "wttttttyuuuuttt" and nonsense like that to anyone on my 'recently texted' list. It takes about 10 minutes to send a simple text because the screen won't stop shaking and displaying random letters. It's not just when I'm touching it either. I've had it call random numbers and vibrate for no reason when I'm asleep and it's on my bedside table.
I took this phone to the verizon store when I first got it, they "fixed" it, but an hour later it was back to being glitchy. I took it back, they told me to do a hard reset, it didn't help at all. I tried restarting the phone in safe mode several times (the most recent time being this morning) but the screen shaking and random apps opening issues are even worse in safe mode than in regular mode.
I was wondering if anyone else had these kind of problems, and if so, how would I go about fixing them? Honestly I'm planning on getting rid of this phone in a few weeks but if there's anything I've overlooked I want to check it out.

Hello hammerofasgard! Love the handle, by the way. I'm a Thor fan, too!!
Sounds like you've been having some very frustrating and inconvenient issues with your Droid 2 Global. I have one that I still use but have never seen the behaviors you've described (except for the battery drain, but that's something that was easily managed by just keeping a charger handy). You mentioned having taken the D2G to one of our retail locations for assistance, and that the device reverted to it's previous behavior an hour later.
I'm curious to know if the reps on our store performed a master reset (taking the device back to factory settings). If they did, did you have any of the same apps or settings restored to the device during that hour?

Please b nice, but I HATE my & my dtrs Droid 2 Globals!

Forgive me for number 1, not being really technically talented or knowing all the lingo. A year ago I bought my daughter and I matching White Droid 2 Globals...At first I thought they were cool, and was just learning how to use all its functions, my daughter was the first one to note a bunch of issues like dropped calls, freezing, restarting, not txting, and other issues...then it started on mine. But most of the problems, like the short battery life and rebooting, were tolerable, althought aggravating, but I figured it goes along with these smart phones...
However, over the past few months our phones have turned into objects that make us both turn into Linda Blair in the bed scene from the EXorcist!!! They shut down constantly, mine wouldn't place or receive calls so I got it replaced a week ago because it was still under manufacturers warranty.....which expired on Jan. 16th...anyway, this "fresh" replacement is WORSE than my old one!!! It wont text...lets maybe five letters then freezes or goes to another screen...has all the old issues and then some. My daughters is really junk...and I just didn't think to replace hers before warranty went out...I have chronic health issues and also care for a 92 y/o gma who does as well...so it's incredibly important to me to always have my phone and to be able to reach my daughter.
I just don't know what to do, all week I've meant to call Verizon and explain, but I've been in and out of hospital, then taking care of gma, home, animals, homework, husband, life, etc....haven't been able too...I can't afford to spend money, and am afraid that's the pitch I may get...we are not eligible for upgrades yet, and I have no money now anyway. My daughter is so disgusted with Smart Phones she wants to go back to "dumb" phones...lol.
So I guess what I'm wondering is, what would my best options be, considering my circumsstances? I have the Asurion, but I can't afford $99 for me and my dtr. anytime soon. Will they take the piece of junk they just sent me and send me another replacement free? Its not my fault its junkier than the one I sent them, right? Should I buy used phones cheap off ebay or something? How would that work? I just activate any phone I buy online? And cancel current phone? I'm a real idiot with stuff like this. So, maybe ssomeone knows why I can't text or why the many other issues are occurring...??
It has me really frustrated...and stressed...and I don't need more stress in my world.
Thoughts? Thank you in advance for any info! Appreciate it!

The locking up while typing text or emails and throwing you out to the internet or wherever is from the software update in Sept 2011. I have had this issue on 3 phones since then (they would send me new phones because they thought it was a phone problem) - IT IS NOT THE PHONE! They replace it and it happens in another 4-6 weeks. Keep a record of all your calls with Verizon - dates, times, length of phone call, who you talked to, etc. Do NOT leave them alone till your phone is working...do not settle. They are sending me a Droid 3 to replace my Droid 2 Global. The Verizon guy thinks this model is not having the same issues - we will see! (I used to LOVE my phone - now I just hate Motorola! They were NO help after over an hour and a half on the phone. They said they had no issues with the Droid 2! Huh? Do they read the internet or communicate with Verizon?!?!) Good luck!

Droid 2 Global Issues (And a trade in question)

Hi,
I have a Droid 2 Global, and it's alright. However, sometimes I don't receive texts. If I don't get any texts for a few hours, I restart my phone. Often enough, a flood of texts will come pouring in. My phone also restarts by itself several times a day. Also, my audio is a little strange. Whenever I play any kind of music on my phone, there are short bursts of static within the song. I have no idea why. Based on this, am I eligible to return my droid and get a replacement?
I have the total coverage warranty, would I still end up getting a "like-new" replacement?
And is there any way I would be able to get an HTC Trophy replacement instead of another D2G?
Thanks

Hi Nrcrast,
If you are within 14 days of the activation of the Droid 2 Global, you can exchange it for a different device for a $35 re-stocking fee. If you are outside of the 14 days, then troubleshooting would need to be completed. If it is determined that a replacement device is going to be sent, it would be of the same model, as it is a warranty replacement.
With regard to the delay with messages coming in, I would like to ask if you keep your phone powered on most of the time? I ask because I have checked my references and I am not showing that this is a known issue with the Droid 2 Global device.
It is a good idea to get into the habit of powering the phone off and on once every couple of days, and not to leave it powered on for days or weeks at a time. There is no need to leave the phone powered down for any significant amount of time, a minute or 2 is perfectly fine. The reason for this is that every time a cellular phone powers on, it re-registers itself with the network. There is a constant connection from the phone to the network, and this registration can sometimes "time out". This could resolve the issue with the delayed messages.
Your posting also mentioned that you hear bursts of static within a song. This is also not showing up as a known issue with the device.
Does this happen when playing downloaded music? Pandora? A different music application?
Is it happening with the same song, artist, or genre?
Do you notice any pattern when it does happen.
Lastly, regarding the portion of your posting that mentions the phone re-booting, you may want to try a soft reset and/or a factory reset.
Soft Reset
Remove battery when the phone is powered on
Wait 60 seconds
Re-attach the battery and power back on
Monitor the device
If the soft reset does not resolve the issue, the next step would be a factory reset. I have listed the steps below.
Factory Reset
Please note that this setting erases all data from your phone, including your Google or other email account settings, system and application data and settings, and downloaded applications. It will not erase current system software and bundled applications, or files stored on an optional installed memory card, such as music or photos. For this reason, please make sure the data on your device is backed up.
Select Menu
Select Settings
Select Privacy
Select Factory Data Reset
Thank you for your posting and have a good day!

Droid 2 global home screen glitching?

I recieved my first droid 2 global and after about an hour of using it, the home screen would start flipping to another screen about every 2 seconds. And it would always be the last thing I selected. For example, if I was looking at my contacts and hit the "home" icon, it would go to the home screen for a few seconds and then flip back to my contacts and continue doing this everytime I selected "home." It would also not let me get to the app screen at all.
I did run a virus scan, nothing came up and I didn't download a single app. About all I did was set up facebook for android and add a few contacts.
I took it to a verizon store and the man there had no idea what it was, so after putzing with my phone for an hour including doing a factory reset, he said they'd send me a new one.
BUT I had the same problem with the second phone and I'm completely frustrated and clueless. Anyone have any insight?
[removed unnecessary links]

ATT: NANCE, YOU SAID IT. I MEAN, YOU REALLY DID HIT IT RIGHT ON THE HEAD!!! "
My Droid x2 locks me out of my own phone, while in the middle of a text or phone call it just decides to lock itself.
Unlocking my phone is a pain because the touch screen glitches as I try to draw in my lock pattern.
My phone started muting itself on/off numerous times during a phone call with my boss >:(
If I am lucky enough to get my phone unlocked and get to my home screen sometimes it begins selecting apps
or m contacts or the dialer and then freezes.
It restarts maybe 2-3 times a day. The one time I drop it (it started doing this after it fell off my lap as I stood up from sitting at a restaurant.)
And finally just about a week ago it began to start deleting my own contacts..
I loved this phone until it decided to run itself? I Still likr it though,

Droid 2 Global in London, 2 bars at most

Currently in London with Droid 2 Global. I get one or two bars at most, often no service at all. The phone works with one or two bars, and I have received text messages, but data heavy applications (browser, navigation) have not worked at all. Help!

I hope you are having a good time in London!
Please dial +1-908-559-4899 from your global phone to reach our Global Support Team for assistance. This service is available to you 24/7. You are not billed for the call to the 908 number, as it is a way to reach Global Support when traveling out of the country. I am certain that this team will be able to resolve your wireless issues in London.

Droid 2 Global - No Data Connection

I own a Droid 2 Global, and I am unable to get a data connection. This problem started yesterday morning. The phone was connected fine the previous night, but I was unable to connect the next morning. I have bars, but no 3G or 1x symbol on the top of the screen. I was able to receive text messages, but I could not send them. I checked that the data connection was enabled under settings. I eventually did a Factory Reset. Since I was able to reactivate the phone, I assume I can send and receive calls fine. Following the rest of the activation steps, I had to connect my phone to my wifi in order to complete them, since I still had no data connection. I tried dialing *228 (I tried both options 1 and 2). I just tried dialing ##PROGRAM and making sure the data option was checked.
I am out of ideas, and I've searched pretty thoroughly for an answer. Does anyone know what to do?

vxcx2006,
I can certainly understand the frustrations with your 3G service issues! Based on the information you have already provided I would need to file a trouble ticket with our network engineers for your line to see what can be done to improve your 3G signal. I will send you a message, and you can reply with the necessary account information so I can get this resolved for you.

Droid 2 global

   I have a droid 2 global and I need to have the volume turned off while at work.I am able to put the phone on vibrate for calls.But there doesn't seem to be any way to put it to vibrate for texts and such.I've read the manual and quite a few other pieces of literature and hav'n't had any luck.
   Can anybody help with this?
   Thank you in advance

DISREGARD.i FIGURED IT OUT.

I need help unlocking my old Droid 2 Global

The phone is long since deactivated and it isn't connected to my wifi at all. I don't remember the unlock code and it won't connect to my gmail account. I have text messages stored in it from before when my mom passed away and I don't want to lose them.

Hi NorsePrincess,
Oh no! I know how important picture memories can be, especially of your Mom. If the device has an unlock code, the only way to access the device would be by remembering the code, or factory resetting the device. The factory reset would wipe the device including any items stored on the internal device memory. The Droid 2 Global should have an SD Card. Have you tried removing the SD Card and placing the card into a computer or another compatable device to see if the pictures on the card http://vz.to/1ickHW3 ?
