Droid 2 Global Update..?

Okay, so i keep hearing all of these different things, there will be an update for D2G, there won't, Gingerbread will come to D2G, it won't... I'm so confused. I really am hoping that there will be an update for this phone sometime soon, and with the wat, i hope it will be a really extensive update (not just bug fixes, but real changes [different settings, more customization, things like that]) I was hoping tha this could just be cleared up, and maybe some insight on when it would happen...?
Thanks (:

A few things that need to be brought to your attention.
Firstly Verizon is NOT in charge of creating the updates for the D2G, that falls squarely upon Motorola.
Next it is worth mentioning that this phone is not built as the sort of consumers that have a heavy emphasis on media apps ( like music and viseo) it was made for folks that have to move about a lot and needed interoperatability between different cellphone systems. In other words this phone is not the primary focus of Motorola for rushed and early updates. If anyone is so impatient to get the update there are seceral websites that have open source copies of the new os on hand for download.
One last thing, last word i received from VZW tier 1 tech support is that they have rolled out the update in several limited areas to test the update. Realistically I would not expect the update before the end of Aug.
Right, this phone was marketed as a business phone. Which is why people got so annoyed when Exchange sync didn't work, and the phone has had no updates since Dec, and that update didn't address that huge issue. So, no, we don't want rushed updates, or even early updates, but perhaps 7 months is enough for an update that is neither!
Can someone from VZW confirm the limited update mentioned by ghhrum. From what I gather from the Motorola forum, the soak test has not yet begun, and this would happen before any Verizon-initiated update.
Thanks

Droid Global and Corporate Sync account - message deletion

This applies to Corporate Sync accounts only! Not IMAP or POP accounts, please.
I've read the many threads on this board regarding syncing emails with a Exchange Server. It seems that on my brand new Droid Global, when I delete an email on the phone, it deletes the email also on the server, and so also on my main office PC.
That is, of course, not what I intend to do.
I'm just trying to keep the inbox on my phone clean and simple. I don't actually want to delete the emails on the server. I receive anywhere from 40-50 emails a day, and don't want them on my phone!!
There seems to be a fair amount of confusion going on. Some claim that they are unable to delete messages on the server. Others, like me, don't want this, and want to manage our main exchange account on our office PCs.
Is there any setting I am missing to "delete from device" only, leaving the message in my Exchange account in-box?
If not, this is a pretty serious problem for the many corporate users who might want to switch from their blackberry to Droid. Something Verizon and Motorola MUST address very soon if they intend to offer competition to the iPhone or Blackberry.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA!

That's understandable, and much thanks for the clear explanation.
Blackberry, of course, also "sync's" but gives the option for those who prefer more control over their email. Hopefully this is a feature that Verizon/Motorola can work on for the next software update, as it is rather critical.
Still strange, IMO, since this feature is built in on my POP account. hmmm?
I noticed that the setting you mention (how much mail to keep on the phone) doesn't always work, though. Until this morning, I had all my Tuesday (Jan 4) emails still on the phone, despite my having the phone set to only keep 1 day sync'd - - so its obviously a little buggy, too.
In any case, I guess I'll have to learn to live with it - Update, hopefully, coming soon

Task Privileges for Existing Users - Looking for a global update solution

After some reading I understand that if you set the task privileges for the PUBLIC user in the Privileges section of Discoverer Administrator (10g), any new user created in the system will pick up the privileges you have assigned to the PUBLIC user.
I currently have 4000+ users who have access to Discoverer Plus and the ability to create/edit queries. I want to limit who can access Discoverer Plus functionality to approximately 150 users.
I have changed my PUBLIC user to NOT have privileges but this will only affect new users. Is there any way to restrict 4000+ users without having to go through each user individually and set the privileges.
I am looking for a global update solution. I am wondering if this can be done through the back-end.

Hi Mezzobella
If you change the rights for the public user then other users, who have not been manually adjusted in any way, will automatically pick up the public rights. Therefore, if you have a lot of users that are not changing this means that at some point in their life you will have clicked OK or Apply on the screen with a user displayed. This now assigns the rights to that user as opposed to inheriting them from the public user.
What you are describing is the perfect reason why you should not administer Discoverer using user accounts but to use roles or responsibilities instead.
In your case you are now somewhat stuck. The programatic way to revoke these rights is to drop rows from the EUL5_ACCESS_PRIVS table but this could take longer than doing inside Discoverer. Basically, when a user has been granted privileges one row per privilege is inserted into this table. The column AP_EU_ID contains the ID of the user. The column GP_APP_ID is the one that tells you what privilege a user has. Here is a list of the privileges:
1000 Desktop / Plus Privilege (U)
1001 Create / Edit Query (U)
1002 Item Drill (U)
1003 Drill Out (U)
1004 Grant Workbook (aka Sharing) (U)
1005 Collect Query Statistics (U)
1006 Admin Privilege (A)
1007 Set Privilege (A)
1008 Create / Edit Business Area (A)
1009 Format Business Area (A)
1010 Create / Edit Summaries (A)
1011 Not used as far as can be determined
1012 Schedule (U)
1013 User is never required to schedule workbooks (U)
1014 Save workbooks to database (U)
1015 Managed scheduled workbooks (A)
1016 This is an apps mode EUL
1017 This is the user's assigned language
1018 User is allowed to change password
1019 to 1023 Not used as far as can be determined
1024 Create Link (U)
Note: A = Admin privilege, U = User privilege
Theoretically you could manually delete rows from this table and that will revoke the rights. In reality, Oracle do not like it when inexperienced users manually the EUL as you could corrupt it. Therefore, any manual updates must be done with utmost caution after making sure you back up or have a copy of the table you will be updating - just in case.
Try running this query to see the content:
SELECT DECODE( AP_EU_ID, 104198, 'Viewer', 103697, 'Plus', 'Other' ) "Who" , AP_ID, AP_TYPE, AP_EU_ID, AP_PRIV_LEVEL, GP_APP_ID, GBA_BA_ID, GD_DOC_ID, AP_ELEMENT_STATE
FROM EUL5_ACCESS_PRIVS
Best wishes

BOM Global Update

Hi Experts,
I have a question regarding the functionality of the BOM Global update. How is this option supposed to work exactly?
If I update the price of:
1. A component within the BOM screen
2. The parent item within the BOM screen
3. The parent item within the Item Master Data screen
The BOM is not then suggested for update on running the Global update option.
The Global update function only seems to pick up BOMs where the component prices have been updated outside the BOM screen (for example in the Item Master Data screen).
Is this correct? My customer is wondering why other changes to BOM parent and component prices do not result in the BOM being suggested for a price change within Global Update
Thanks
Greig

Hi Greig,
Your observation would be correct. Global Update option may only apply if somewhere else also need the update. If all updates are confined within BOM, it should not trigger this function.
Thanks,
Gordon

My folders missing in email app Droid Global

I can only see the stock folders for my verizon mail on my Droid Global. Why can't I see My Folders that I create?

Hi TyB,
I know it's important to use your email while on the go. I would like to assist, but I do need some additional information. When you mention "Verizon mail," do you mean your verizon.net email? What type of email are you using? Are you using the Mail application on the device (from the Market), or are you accessing Mail from your browser?
When viewing your email on your PC, you do get the option to create your own folders. On your device, only a certain amount of folders are supported, so this may be the reason that the ones you created do not appear. Below is a link for setting up email and all the details for the Droid 2 Global device.
I hope this information is helpful for you, and for other Droid 2 Global users.

DROID GLOBAL PHONE ?

hello all you droid experts. i went to the lake and caught some fish this weekend. i took some short videos with my phone. now when i try to email the video or "Share" the video, it says that the file is too big. it doesn't ask me if i want to shrink the file so i can send it so......can i shrink the file and send it in an email? thanks in advance.

Thanks Ann154 for that feedback and suggestion!
Deerhunter1, I can understand how frustrating that is. I just recently experienced that exact same issue! It was because the video file was too large for me to send either by MMS (picture/video message), or by email. You may be able to send to another device via Bluetooth, giving your device gives you that option. You can also hard wire sync the file to your computer using your USB cable. The subject line says your device is a droid global phone. Below I am including a link for transferring picture & video files from a Droid 2 Global phone to a computer. The link will actually be for transferring music files, however, the concept is the same.

Droid Global in St. Martin

Going to St. Martin in a couple of days with my Motorola Droid Global Black which I purchased specifically for overseas travel. When I was in St. Martin previously, I had to rent two cell phones since part of the island is French controlled and the other is Dutch controlled -- each operating separate telephone systems. Question: Can I use my phone there? How do I switch from the US system to their's. I have never done this before, but paid a nice sum for this phone. Please advise ASAP! Thank you.

I hope you have a great trip. You can certainly use the phone inSt. Martin. I included a link here with all you need to from dialing to coverage inSt. Martin. Have a safe trip! Thank you.

Droid 2 Global Update Stuck at 0%

I'm in Baghdad, Iraq.
I got the message to update my D2G so I accepted.
It's been stuck at 0% for a day.
I tried restarting it in safe mode, but it's still stuck at 0%.
I also tried a battery pull. Still stuck at 0%.
It's connected both to Wifi and to the local cell (roaming) tower. I don't have roaming data enabled, as that'll probably cost hundreds of dollars for the update.
I'd settle for cancelling the update, if possible, or manually downloading it and placing it in the right folder.
Any suggestions?

What version are you running now, Froyo or the 4.5.607 Gingerbread? Both updates (Froyo to 4.5.607, and .607 to .608) are available on the web for manual downloading. This is much quicker than downloading via the phone.

Facebook games on Droid Global Browser

The 2 FB games I played worked in the Droids browser up until 2 days ago; Zynga Poker & Kabams Global Warfare.
I didnt change anything, simply tried to open it the following morning, and now all I get is a 'Page Cannot be Found' error message.
Cleared cache, restarted phone, updated Flash (not even sure they use it), have tested it through a WiFi connection to rule out Verizons 3G network. I have no idea at this point...
Any ideas?

Found my own answer! On your boards actually, but for Farmville...but hey it works:
MODS...i posted this in the DX forum too because someone asked a question about it. It isn't only a DX issue so I am posting here too. If you feel the need to remove or move this as a duplicate post, i understand.
Farmville is very popular and now with 2.2 release everyone can play right on their phone. If you tried to play after updating to 2.2 Froyo you probably received an error that says it isnt available on this device.....NOT SO!!
But you do need to make a change in your browser settings:
Instructions are for the default web browser.
1.Download and install Flash 10.1 from market
2.Open your browser, go to facebook.
3.type into the browser about:debug and press go. The browser will go right back to the same screen you were on previously and it appears that nothing happens.
4.Press your menu button(bottom left physical button)
5.Press "MORE"
6.Scroll down to "Settings"
7.Scroll all the way down to the bottom where you see "UA STRING"
8Choose "Desktop" This will "trick" websites into thinking you are logging in from a PC computer and not a Droid.
9.Hit back until you are on the facebook page again.
10. Refresh your browser and launch Farmville!!!
Enjoy it.
Dj.
Funny how they all of a sudden stopped letting Adroid identified browsers in....

Droid Maxx Updated to 4.4.4

The Droid Maxx Family of Phones has a new update Motorola is now pushing out after the Soak Test was completed the 4.4.4 or 21.11.21. update as I've read has some nice changes to it.. follow the Link below for those changes.. Enjoy and if any one has got this update pass on your thoughts on it on this Thread.. Thanks b33
Here are the Full Changelogs for the DROID MAXX, ULTRA, and Mini Android 4.4.4 Updates | Droid Life

Well mounting to Dashboard in some instances could be Very Dangerous to the phone and to you especially if you have Airbags in your Car, if the phone is the zone of the Airbag and if the Air bag should deploy it could catch the phone and throw it like a projectile at you possibly or your passenger.. It might be better to put the phone in a safer area while driving..
When I drive I always put my phones in the Center console or one of the Cup Holders that we have in our new Taurus..
I'll add in a screen shot later.. of were i put them..

Dreamweaver Global Updates

Hi all,
I'm constantly updating and editing a website that I've
created using HTML and CSS in DMX. Is there a more easier way of
making changes to the same element on each page without having to
manually change each page on my own? For instance, I need to change
the submenu on each page. How can I do that globally for each page
without having to open, and cut & paste each page (~20 pgs. or
so).
I'm somewhat familiar with the Dreamweaver templates, but if
I attach a template to an existing page, it overrides the entire
page to the current template page. I'm starting to use the Libray
Items, but I guess that doesn't help either since I haven't applied
the template page nor library item to each page to begin with. If
anyone knows better way, please help!
Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks

Use Server-side includes.
http://www.smartwebby.com/web_site_design/server_side_includes.asp
Html pages will need to be renamed either index.shtml,
index.asp or
index.php. The type you use depends on your server. If you
don't know if
your server supports SSI, contact your host.

Droid X updated software - Bluetooth

Just updated to the new system software. Everything works well accept for my Bluetooth which does not alway connect to my car on the first try ( previous software version was flawless ) I have a 2005 Acura TL
I know that it is not my car , because one of my office associates has the same phone, updatedhis phone, and has the same issue with his Toyota Prius.
I called verizon tech suport, who said they know of the problem, but Motorola has no immediate fix at this point. He said the only fix was to go back to the previous system software.
Anyone else having this issue ?

Oh ya noticed its sucking battery power, before the update my battery lasted 8hrs now about 3 hrs...no kidding! Even my backup batterys.
Good Morning!
I use Droid X too so I'm very familiar with it. I'm sorry to hear of the problems you've encountered since migrating to Gingerbread. Honestly, I didn't use it much before GB and I love it since! My best recommendation would be a hard reset to restore to factory settings. It will not remove the GB update, but will get rid of any potential kinks caused by third party apps. Please ensure you know your Google/Gmail information, so after the re-activation you can log in and get the contacts and calendar back to the phone. You can restore apps too, under the Market icon. Your SD card will not be affected by the reset.
Please advise if you continue to have issues after the reset.
Thank you!

Droid frg22d update stops syncing with exchange 2010

We have exchange 2010 SP1 running. When some of the droid users received the 2.2 software build FRG22D it stops syncing with exchange. I have build FRG01B and it works fine, I hope they don't push FRG22D to my phone. HAs anyone else had this issue? Has Verizon recognized this issue. It is going to be major as more phones upgrade and run on Exchange 2010 SP1.

I did a hard reset and that didn't fix my issue so i wouldn't suggest doing a hard reset.
My environment:
Exchange 2010 SP1
Droid with FRG22D
I haven't been able to pinpoint the issue but it has to do with the request and response with provisioning between the devices and exchange. Nothing has changed but updating the phone to the latest patch.
I receive the following error:
