Droid Mini & unused Apps

Can the unused Apps be removed with-out causing harm to the phone?
(Delete, or is there a way to place these in a file? At least can a person stop the automatic updates so not to use storage for something I don't need nor want)

Disable the application and uncheck the "show notifications" check box for each application you don't want on the phone.

Is the Droid Mini compatible with Family Locator?

Can anyone tell me if the Droid Mini is compatible with Family Locator? I just bought my daughter the Mini, and can't get the app to load on her phone. Thanks!

Hello CCaserio
I'm sorry that device isn't listed as Family Locator compatable. There may be a 3rd party application that you would be able to use.

Droid 2 Global Apps Force Closing Constantly

Hi, I had my Droid 2 Global for about a year. Last week, it started to lock up, and the screen began to randomly select locations and do sporadic scrolling. It was completely unusable. Fortunately (or so I thought) I was under warranty and got a free replacement. This phone has its own plethora of problem right out of the box. For starters, the speaker sounds like it was blown by the previous owner (it's factory re-certified, which they claim has a 100+ point inspection, you would think that the speaker would be one of those...), and additionally the apps on the phone constantly crash and close to the desktop. Most the the apps crash between immediately upon opening, or within 30 seconds. The most troublesome apps so far have been the stock Calendar and Browser apps, and Facebook. Those are 3 of my 4 most commonly used apps on my phone, so it's basically worthless to me now. I've only had this replacement for 6 days.
I don't want to fork over 300 dollars plus pay for an early upgrade again (had to do that when my last android phone died after 53 weeks, with a 52 week warranty, to which Verizon said "Too bad, so sad." That's when I got the Droid 2 Global, which lasted about 54 weeks. I'm getting very suspicious here, though I try to avoid conspiracy theories. Does anyone have any ideas what may be causing this? I don't have many apps installed besides the stock apps that come on it, maybe 20 or so, half of which are various Google apps (Docs, Skymap, Voice, etc) I'm hesitant to try for another replacement because it will be another hassle and likely just another broken piece of junk.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

The speaker problem is present at all volume levels, but is less noticeable if the volume is below about 25%.
I had Lookout mobile security installed, so per your direction I uninstalled it and restarted the phone. Apps still randomly crash. Sometimes they will be open and work fine, and a few times a day they get into a rut where they crash quickly after opening, and will crash every time they are opened after that. It seems like if I pull the battery for 30 seconds, then replace and power on again the problem seems to go away. It has persisted with a regular power down/back on. All of the apps I have currently were on my original Droid 2 Global, and I never had this issue with apps crashing, so I don't suspect they they are the cause, but I won't rule it out.

Hello brian_g05 I was very upset after reading your post. You should have a good replacement device! Yes our replacements do pass an inspection prior to being shipped out. There shouldn't be any issue with the speaker. Let's look into this with you. Do you have the device on the loudest setting? If so please turn down by 1 and retest. Do you experience this problem with device on speakerphone or when playing music? The problem with the applications crashing may be related to one of the 20 downloaded applications or a combination of the applications. Do you have any antivirus or advanced task killer applications installed? If so please remove and retest. Please power the device in safe mode and see if it crashes when using the browser. Here's a link for safe mode: http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=37821 Please try these steps and let me know if you still run into any issues.

Droid mini shuts down on its own

Since updating Android about a week ago, my droid mini has shut down on its own at random times. Pressing the power button won't start it up either. I have to continually press for over a minute before the phone powers up. Battery is over 70% so that shouldn't be the issue.
Thanks for any ideas on how to cure this!

I would suggest trying running the device in safe mode. There may be one of your 3rd party apps that are interfering somehow with the proper functioning of your device, and safe mode will disable them for diagnostic purposes. If running safe mode improves the phone's performance, one of a couple things may happen. Your phone may "fix itself", correcting its own glitch now that there is no interference from a problem app, or it may just run better while in safe mode. You'll have to restart again as normal to determine which one it is. If it goes back to glitching, then you will need to go back into safe mode, remove all 3rd party apps, and then add them again one by one to determine which one was the problem.

Droid Mini notifications for email and text not working

I am having a problem with notification sounds not working for email and text messages with my Droid Mini. I took my original phone to the Verizon shop. They did a factory reset. Sound worked for two days. Went back to Verizon and they reset it again. But they did tell me if it happened again to call Verizon and they would send me a new phone. Well it happened again. Got my new phone just last week. Well yesterday and today the sound notifications for text messages and email is not working on the new phone. Last night I powered the phone off and back on and all was working well until this morning.
This is very upsetting as I really do like this phone. Would like to know what is going on with it. Have checked all the volumes and they are all up.
Is there a fix for this.
Thank you.

For Gmail it is: open Gmail > menu > settings > your gmail address > notifications check box is unchecked.
There are some additional notification options for labels too.

My Droid Mini is eating my messages.

I have tried everything on the troubleshooting page, but more often than not I'm not receiving several messages from at least one of my contacts. I have tried everything on the troubleshooting page, but nothing works. I'm only receiving a few of the messages my best friend sends me, and the rest are lost in space. PLEASE HELP!

Hello foxieclark! I'm sorry to hear of the issues you're experiencing with your Droid Mini. Let's work to resolve these concerns. When did this begin for you? Do you know what type of phone model that you are sending texts to....iPhone or Android, etc..? Have you powered off the phone lately to reset? Keep us posted! Thanks!

Droid mini. How do you set up quick access to 2nd language?

Just got a Droid Mini and I use my second language often. It takes 7 steps to change the language to Swedish and 7 again to change back to English. How can I set up a one click switch from my home screen?

Is there a mini-iPhoto app for iPad?

I am searching for a mini-iPhoto app to make an iPad a useful travel tool for me. It is perhaps best to first describe what I am NOT looking for.
NO:
1. Facial recognition
2. Photo editing (okay, a little crop would be nice)
3. Overlaying graphics
What I have in mind is something to use down time in travel to download the camera, cull out the losers, arrange the remainder into events or other catagories, and add a few key-words to stay with the photo. Might start the trip with a sub-set of an iPhoto library exported from the iMac's iPhoto's monster library that needs culling, catagorizing into existing events, keywords added, etc. On returning home, synch back with the iMac's iPhoto library.
The MacBook Air does a super job of this, but the iPad offers some conveniences the Air does not provide.
Any help? Maybe an iPad S/W developer looking for a next project?
Thanks.

When do we get the Droid Mini in prepaid?.

Verizon, when do you change the lineup of phones to the prepaid line with the same as postpaid?.

They just did, for the first time since 3G was invented. They JUST now allowed 4G phones on prepaid. I would think it would be a long time, considering the prepaid market likes to pay less for phones and those expensive flagships or formers, garner more money via contract. You could always buy a droid mini and take to prepaid.

Try a reset:
Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo.

IPad mini mail app display rotation

My iPad mini mail app rotation is locked. No other app or display is affected. How do I unlock? How did it get locked?

Sorry, I should have been clearer. I'm pretty familiar with how my ipad works. There appears to be a legit bug with the software, at least for some users. When I load mail, sometimes it's stuck in one orientation, even if the rest of the ipad apps are able to rotate freely. I don't always notice it because sometimes the ipad is oriented in the same direction as mail, but other times it's not and when you start the mail app, the screen loads upside down. Switch to another app, back to right side up and so on. You have to either turn the ipad over, or kill the mail app by double tapping the home button and ending the program from the list of running apps.
After you do that, the mail app starts to rotate again normally when changing the orientation of the device. No reset is required, by the way, as is posted above - at least on mine. Killing the app alone is enough to 'fix' the problem.
I've seen a number of posts where someone posts the 'fix' as a solution to this issue, but I don't consider it a reasonable resolution. Even if killing the mail app works, the problem just comes back a week or two later, very randomly. So then you end up having to do the 'fix' over and over again whenever the mail app flakes out.
So, I'm wondering when Apple is going to actually fix this issue.

Why is my signal with the HTC One M8 worse then my mom's Droid Mini?

Her phone constantly gets a 4G signal in our house and mine mostly just gets 3G. It gets 4G sometimes but not alot. Her signal is always better then mine too. Here are a few screenshots showing the difference.
                                                                HTC ONE M8

    Terryh215 We definitely want you to have great signal on your device. We apologize but we are not able to view the screenshots sent. However, we can help by troubleshooting your device. Which device is yours? The HTC or the Motorola? Again, I apologize that we are unable to view the photos.
