Droid Pro newbie questions

Hello everyone. I just got my new droid pro yesterday (so far I like it!) but I do have a couple questions.
1. Whenever I turn on wifi it makes everything on the phone stop working, cant use internet, apps, etc. My husbands iphone connects and works fine so I didnt think it was the router but I am not sure. Any tips would be helpful!
2. Also I have a little app/widget thing that was preinstalled from the My Verizon and somtimes it says 3G Data - Unlimited Use. After I try to use the wifi I turned it off and now that little red box says Data Usage - Not connected. I checked my account online and it still has the unlimited data package under my number, is this just an app problem or am I really not connected? Everything works (as long as wifi is off) so I wasnt sure.
Couple of random questions..
3. Is there a way to change the background color of text messages? Like in the inbox its black, the same with the default email.
4. Is there a way to have the date stay at the top of the phone instead of just popping up when you go to click notifications? & Have the % of the battery displayed there?
5. I have my cell phone charging right now and it seems kind of hot, is that normal?
6. I want to shut off the notifications from apps, like yahoo, craigslist etc. but cant seem to figure out where to do that.
7. Is there a way to "wake up" the phone by pressing a button on keypad and then unlock it instead of the power button?
Sorry there are so many questions, I'm not good with change and with this being my first smartphone Im trying to customize it to how I want it as quickly as possible! lol. Any other droid pro tips that you think I would find helpful is greatly appreciated! Thanks!!!!

1. There are only a handful of laptop battery producers in Asia. The top 5 laptop vendors (including Apple) seem to buy theirs from Sony (this is why, a couple years ago Apple, Dell, and Toshiba were suing Sony for batteries that warped/caught fire).
2. Yes. You don't even need a screwdriver, just slide the release and it pops out.
3. The hardware performs the same. Mac OS X performs better than Windows, not quite as well as Linux (on the same hardware). You can find faster laptops with better video cards, but they cut corners elsewhere or cost more.
4. General quality. The package is well built, OS X is generally well designed and performs well. The physical case is top-notch. The biggest liability is the region-locked optical drive. I've owned a VAIO and it was without question the worst computer I've ever had -- cheesy case and lots of hardware issues.
5. Macs in general seem to hold their resale value very well. The hardware is typically supported by Apple for longer than PC hardware is by other vendors.
6. You got me there, no idea.
7. Apple typically sells them for 15% - 20% when that happens (check store.apple.com), but don't count on there being much of an inventory.
8. I'm still working on my first, but the company policy is 3 years.

Newbie Question about FM 8 and Acrobat Pro 9

Hello:
I have some dcouments that I've written in FM v8.0p277. I print them to PDF so that I can have a copy to include on a CD and I also print some hard copies.
My newbie question is whether there is a way to create a PDF for hard copy where I mainitain the colors in photos and figures but that the text that is hyperlinked doesn't appear as blue. I want to keep the links live within the soft copy. Is there something I can change within Frame or with Acrobat?
TIA,
Kimberly

Kimberly,
How comes the text is blue in the first place? I guess the cross-reference formats use some character format which makes them blue? There are many options:
Temporarily change the color definition for the color used in the cross-reference format to black.
Temporarily change the character format to not use that color.
Temporarily change the cross-reference definition to not used that character format.
Whichever method you choose, I would create a separate document with the changed format setting and import those format into your book, create the PDF and then import the same format from the official template.

Droid Pro- how to delete apps and google maps question

is there anyway I can delete verizon apps off my droid pro?? I mean for example there is the google maps that came on it, a navigation, and VZW navigator that came it. I only use the google maps, and I want the other 2 off and I can't figure it out.
Also, my google maps updated today, and the new feature on it is 3d maps. How the heck do I find the 3d maps?

Carrier-loaded apps are part of the phones everywhere; Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, etc. I've had them on even the feature phones--Backup Assistant, Get It Now, etc. They can not be deleted on any phone on any carrier without [Edited to comply with Terms of Service] which is another topic. You can set up your home screens to your satisfaction by deleting any unwanted icons--press and hold the icon, then drag it to launcher tab which should be highlighted red--it serves as the trash can. This is how it worked on my Droid 1.

Droid Pro question

I have a Droid Pro and was wondering if I can add distinctive notification sounds for different people that I text?

It is not possible through the stock text message applications. A third party application from the android market might.

Total Newbie Question ... Sorry :-(

I know it's a windows thing, and I am now converted to Mac but I gotta know this because it's doing my head in. It's a complete stupid green gilled newbie question.
When installing new programs on a Mac can you create shortcuts to the programs on the Dock? I did what I THOUGHT it would be, i.e I made an Alias and stuck it in the dock, but on rebooting my Mac later on, in place of the shortcuts where 3 question marks which when clicked on did absolutely nothing???
Help?

You aren't installing something from a dmg file are you? The dmg is a disk image – kind of a virtual CD. So when you double click the dmg and then get the little disk/hardrive/custom icon on your desktop that is the same as if you had mounted a CD. You then need to drag the application off of that "CD" into your application folder. Then it is truly installed.
You can then "eject" the icon your your desktop. This is what happens when you shutdown and without remounting the image your dock shortcut can't find the original.
Just a thought.

Newbie Question: How much computer do I need?

Newbie Question:
I would like to use MainStage 3 in a live performance environment to play bars, parties, etc. I'm not looping, using it to playback recordings, processing outboard equipment or vocal processing. I want to stop carrying Rolands, Nords, Korgs, etc and get to a controller and a rack with a Mac Mini in it.
I tested a download of Mainstage 3 on my home Mac Mini (late 2012, 3.5 Ghz i5, 4GB RAM, 500GB drive) and it seemed to run fairly well. $30 well invested so I trekked forward... I purchased a Mac Mini (late 2009, 2.52GHz Core 2 Duo, 6GB RAM, 128GB SSD) for $200. I started to do more elaborate keyboard setups to see how the CPU would hold up. It typically runs from 30% to 50% of capacity (CPU and Memory) It actually boots and runs better than the i5. I hear the occasion gitch, but it actually seems to be getting better in time (or I'm rock and roll deaf.
I got a rack, an Airport Express, a Radial USB interface and a Nektar Panorama P6. It's starting to get expensive, but I'm emboldened by the actual quality for the sound and the flexibility of arranging for live performance. What used to take me two and three keyboards to play, I can now fit on one performance patch.
OK, now the question... am I at the limits of this little Core 2 Duo? Should I upgrade the i5 with more RAM and a bigger SSD and use that? Should I get a new(er) i7 and bite the $1,500 bullet for the additional RAM and SSD?
I see that most of you are running pretty nice Macbook Pros with i7 and lots of everything. My needs are modest; am I OK?
BTW, I want to run a Mac Mini in a box because I don't want to carry a laptop out in the open. If I was doing bigger shows I wouldn't care but I play some rowdy bars and constantly have folks hanging off me while I'm playing. It's fun, but hard on gear. If you can't drop it or dip it in beer, it won't last long where I work.

Rule of thumb: newer and faster is better. But, depending the complexity of your needs you may be OK with an older Mac. Some glitches that happen in a live performance are due to loss of communication with USB or Firewire inputs, so make sure they're secure. I recently upgraded from a 2010 Mac Mini 2.6 dual core with 16 GB RAM, which was used live for nearly four years, to the latest Mac Mini 3.0 i7 with 16 GB RAM and a 500 GB SSD. I was getting an occasional stuck note with the older one. The new one is rock solid. Some of my patches may have up to a dozen channel strips mapped to three keyboards. The Mini is mounted in a rack next to a MOTU Ultralite Hybrid. It is a good idea to map a panic button on your keyboard to controller # 123(all notes off). Also, you might want to invest in a battery backup power supply(APC, Cyberpower, etc.-$40-$60) to protect your Mac against power loss, which can damage you hard drive.

Droid Pro Buy One Get One

So, I saw on the website where the Droid Pro is BOGO.
I am eligible for an upgrade this week, and I wanted to know if I could give the other phone to another Verizon customer who is not eligible for an upgrade.
Thanks!

Typically not, to take advantage of the BOGO sale both lines need to be eligible for an upgrade or be new lines of service. If you have a question on this call CS.

Droid Pro keypad sometimes goes dark...in the dark.

Hello; had a question regarding the lighting of the physical keypad on a Droid Pro...is there a way to keep this thing lit while the phone is up an running? Reason I ask is that I've had it go dark (while it is dark) while typing...which is not much fun. Is there a "refresh" key or someway to get the light back on? Thanks folks!

How do I see when there's a Missed call on Droid Pro

I love my brand new Droid Pro - BUT there are a few things I'm taking too much time trying to figure out. First - where do I see that there is a missed call?
Thanks - and I'm sure I'll be back on with more questions!
DeenaM

If the phone has an LED light, it should flash that there is a notification of some kind including missed calls.
There will also be a symbol in the top left corner of screen and when you pull down the notification window, it will tell who called or for multiple missed calls the number of calls.
You can also find the full manual online at either Verizon's or Motorola's website. It should explain most of the symbols used in the top notification bar.

Droid Pro does not recognize sim card

All of a sudden today my Droid Pro, which I have had less than a year is not recognizing the sim card. It is up to date on software. I can still receive text messages as well as phone calls. One other thing it has started to do at the same exact time, is that my text message will freeze and I will have to force close or turn off my phone and restart. I can't get through a whole text. Is anyone else having this problem? I've had way too many problems with the Droid Pro and Verizon never seems to take care of it, so hopefully someone here can help me out.

Hello,
I would like to assist you. Have you attempted to remove the sim and re-insert it? Has the sim been replaced before? Please let me know so I know what steps have been attempted. To address the text messaging concern I have a few questions as well. Have you cleared the keyboard cache and data under Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>All>Keyboard? Have you ever complete a factory reset? Please advise. I would also like to provide a suggestion. Navigate to the Google Play Store (formerly known as Android Market) and search for Gingerbread Keyboard and download it. Once downloaded go to Settings>Language and Keyboard and enable the Gingerbread Keyboard and exit the settings. Enter the text message application and long press on an empty text field and choose the Gingerbread input method and test. Please respond with your results and the answers to the questions above. Thank you.

Just define your site in DW as always. For a static site, that's all you need to do.

How to sync Yahoo Calender into a Droid Pro

I switched to Droid Pro from a Blackberry Curve. One thing I am missing. I can not get the Yahoo calender into my Droid Pro as per Verizon Technical Support. Is there anyway to get Yahoo calender into a Droid Pro. I will appreciate if someone could help.

That is only for the gmail calendar. I know that yahoo has a couple apps in the market, you may want to check those out and see if they give you the option. I also know that through the gmail web interface you can sync with different calendars, like holidays, professional sports schedules, etc. you may want to check your options there and see if you can sync with yahoo that way, then you go into settings for your calendar on your phone and choose which ones to include.

Droid Pro Cycling On and Off

My brand new Droid Pro keeps going on and off. Bought it yesterday, can't get it to stop. Suggestions please before I return to store?

Take it back and exchange it. This is an issue with the Droid Pro. Some are worse than others. Mine does this about once a week, but others have had this happen several times a day. Every Verizon employee I have talked to insists it's either an app you installed that is doing it, or just a reset that will fix it. Neither are true, as people (including me) have had the problem even after totally resetting the phont to factory default with no additional apps installed. When I called them after owning the phone for a week, they said they would need to prove in the store that it was an issue before exchanging it for me. I said, how can anyone prove this if it happens only about once a week. He said "sorry, that's the best I can do." I should have insisted they take it back!

Domain name settings - Newbie question

Sorry for a newbie question!
I am already pointing a domain name to web hosting for email account. Now, I need an application server to run ERP software and Oracle, and installing Solaris and Oracle need a domain name.
If I point my domain name to the server, how do I receive emails from web hosting???
Install an email server to the application server instead? What can I do if I want the same domain name? Any option?

Setting up a mailserver and making sure it doesn't suddenly turn into a spambox is not something you do with the use of a few commands. I suggest to dive into the Solaris admin guide on docs.sun.com and read up on e-mail and network services.
If that is asking too much of your time you'll be better off getting your ISP to handle all this for you.

Domain Name settings in Solaris - Newbie question

Your questions are completely off-topic for the forum.
These SunOS forums are for questions on <i>"how do I install my OS"</i>
You particular question is in the <i>"how can I install Solaris while using the CD drive"</i> forum.
So, if you had a question on how to edit the /etc/inet/hosts file to establish a FQDN on the computer, then it might be appropriate for the forum.
Unfortunately, I don't have a clue on where to redirect you, except perhaps to the Sun Java Enterprise System suite of applications?
