Droid X Froyo issues

Ever since the 2.2 update, I have had two(2) major issues:
1. Every app. I use which has a designated home screen (Evernote, Browser, Market, etc.) automatically starts not on the home screen, but on the last screen viewed when restarted.
I want to start these programs on their home screens. That is where my search options are. 
2. The GPS toggle widget, before the update, would just toggle the GPS on/off. Now, it toggles wireless networks and assisted GPS on/off as well. 
I don't want to have to go to my location and security settings every time an app. needs location access, and I don't want the GPS draining my battery because I didn't turn it off.
Any suggestions on how to fix these issues?

Have you tried removing the battery, waiting a few seconds. Then replace the battery and restart? If this doesn't help, you might, unfortunately, try to do a factory reset. The first method usually takes care of most problems without you loosing data. The second removes all data, including contacts, but takes care of all problems, unless it's hardware connected. If you do have to do a factory reset, uncheck the backup. If there is a software problem, if you backup, you'll be backing up the problems as well. Good luck.

  • If you receive the HTC Droid Incredible Froyo update, please post here.

    It is August 18th and we all know the rumors said we would get Froyo today on our  Incredibles. If you receive the HTC Droid Incredible Froyo update, please post here so those of us waiting will know that the update is starting to download. It should be downloading by batches of phones. Once we know it has started, at least we'll all know it's then just going to be a short time until we are in an update batch.

    My wife had the update waiting when she checked her phone at 9am this morning, I'm still waiting.
    She's got a 917 area code and I'm 646.  Her phone's paid by a corporate account while mine is tied to a different larger corporate account, but it is my personal phone that I pay for. 
    I've got my phone about a month before her and have been a longer VZW customer, so no idea what the distribution order is. 

  • Droid 2 signal issues

    I would really like to switch from T-Mobile back to Big Red for the coverage and the network.  I have to have a physical keyboard, so the Droid 2 seems like the best option so far but the problem is that the reviews I've read about it say it has signal issues, and that's totally unacceptable.
    http://mobile.engadget.com/2010/08/23/verizon-pushes-out-first-droid-2-update-doesnt-cure-signal-woe/
    I'm not about to pay a termination fee and sign a contract with Big Red (again, I might add) if I'm going to have the same signal issues as I do with T-Mobile...
    Can I get a Verizon rep to answer if motorola is working on a software fix to the signal issue?  Is it even fixable with software?

    I bought a Droid 2 yesterday and taking it to work today, I've had signal issues already. I have 1 and sometime no bars and other Verizon users have pretty good signal here. I'm really disappointed because the Droid 2 seemed like such a good phone from my research.  I called customer service and they had me do a Factory Data Reset but that didn't help.
    The kicker is I just exchanged my Samsung Fascinate for this Droid 2 phone and the Fascinate had great signal strength everywhere. 
    Is there any proven resolution out there for the Droid 2 signal issue / reception issue?

  • Droid Razr Maxx/Issues with Exchange Sync and Texting

    I have a Droid Razr Maxx.  Since the KitKat update to 4.4 in May 2014, my Exchange email account will not sync. My Comcast account does.    If I power cycle the phone, it will sync the Exchange account for a short time until I receive the following error message:  'couldn't open connection to server due to sec..."  When I touch the error message, it just goes away.  If there is more of the error message, I'm unable to see it.  I have removed the Exchange account and added it back in three times.  My IT department indicates they have not made any changes to the security levels, but have fielded several questions from other Android users with the KitKat update.  My text messaging service also stopped.  I've been reviewing all forums and tried different things, but to no avail.  I went to the Verizon store, who just said that there have been 'lots' of complaints about KitKat and that I should buy a different phone.  This $200+ phone is only 7 months old.  Please help!!

    After deleting and adding my Corporate account, visiting the local Verizon store several times, visiting my IT department, and now wiping the phone and re installing all software, the Corporate email still only syncs when I power cycle the phone.  We are a BYOD company which means every other phone works with the Exchange account.  My phone also worked up until the KitKat update in May 2014. The only recommendation I have received from Verizon is to replace my 8 month old Motorola Razr Maxx with a entirely different phone at full price. The tech I spoke with at Verizon made the statement that she has avoided updating to KitKat given all the customer issues she has had to deal with. 
    I'm in a technology field and understand when glitches occur, but also expect functionality issues to be addressed. I've been with both Verizon and Motorola for a long time, but very doubtful I will continue this relationship when contract time is up for renewal.  I'm carrying my iPad around to get the Corporate emails and the Razr Maxx has been relegated to just being a very expensive phone.

  • Droid 4 Upgrade Issues

    I used to have all my ringtones set to tracks from my music, as well as my morning alarm bell.
    Ever since the upgrade - last week - I can no longer do this... it doesn't even give me the option.
    I've lost my weather wigit somehow...not a biggie, i downloaded another.
    I REALLY don't like the new Gallery App -I take a lot of photos on my phone (for work) and it's now a pain to search for the right folder to find my pics in stead of just clicking on the gallery and having them pop up in order of taking.
    Also, the battery looses it's charge WAY faster.
    Any ideas on a fix?

    When you say you can't use your music as ringtones ... are you talking about not being able to set an mp3 as a ringtone?  I believe that functionaity was removed from the Razr and Razr Maxx, so I'm assuming it was in the Droid 4 as well.  Bummer, too, 'cause that's a handy feature.  A workaround is to put a copy of the mp3 in your Ringtones folder.  You might try dropping a copy of an mp3 in your Notification folder and see if that will let you use it as an alarm notification.
    I don't have any suggestion on the Gallery app 'cause I never used it.
    Not sure about the battery issue ... could be an app that isn't playing well with Jelly Bean.

  • Samsung Droid Charge 4G issues

    So, so far I have had a lot of issues with my Samsung Droid Charge.
    4G has been extremely spotty. I have been in both 91304 and 94598 zipcodes. Both areas where there is supposed to be solid 4G coverage. Sometimes the phone will go an entire day constantly on 4G, sometimes it will be on 3G for hours at a time without going to 4G. Sometimes it will go to "1x" and will not let me go on the 3G network.
    I went to the Verizon wireless store today and they swapped my simcard to see if that improves it, but it has not.
    Sometimes I go to the system selection and i try to select "CDMA mode" and then select "LTE automatic" to reset it, and it will get 4G again, but only for a brief while and then it will go back to 3G.
    Sometimes I will also just not be able to get any data connection for awhile as well, not even 1X, not 3G, not 4G.
    Does anyone else have these issues with this phone?

    Ed1956 wrote:
    I don't think is the phone itself but your location, I too purchased the Charge 4G and Verizon also said that my ZIP was in a solid  4G area....but the area is really about 10 miles radius around downtown, checking by ZIP is just Verizon advertisement and really does not work, that is a place where you can check using your actual address. Check where is the nearest antenna  from where you are is also a good idea, goggle "search for cell tower"
    I only get 3G here, it works fine on 3G  at speeds +/- 770 kbps down and 800 kbps up and  fast when I am the very VERY SMALL 4G coverage 23220 kbps down and 4700 kbps up...but funny thing is, the REAL speed difference accessing Internet sites is just noticeable but not as fast as I was expecting...my DSL loads as fast as the 4G with only 6500 kbps down, go figures
    You are never going to notice speed differences in general on small files. The real tests will be how fast LARGE files download. like a 100MB game vs. 512KB picture. The picture would load just as fast whether 4G or 3G with very little time difference, but the game you would see a drastic difference.

  • Droid Hd battery issues after update

    I have a droid hd and ever since the update my battery drains really fast and I don't always get the notification sound or light that I have received a text.  I have done the hard reset and it still  draining  I had it on for 7 hours and 5 of those hours had no activity at all it was at about 90% then went to like 32%.  With the phone having no activity at all the phone should of still been very well charged.   I am really disappointed with this update and I know I am not the only one

        Hello jodster70! I don't want you having any issues with your device. I know how important it is for your device to hold a charge. I'd like to ask a couple of questions, so we can get to the root cause of the issue.
    Before the update, what was your battery life like? In addition, when you mentioned the battery drain, did the screen show 90%, then just changed to 32%? Or did you use the phone (even for just a minute) and the battery drained?
    Please supply me with some additional information. I'm sure we can help you with a resolution.

  • DROID RAZR MAXX Issue, Screen Issue

    My one month old Droid Razr Maxx, has encountered an issue and is useless exept to tell the time. I was trying to change my wallpaper when the phone became very slow and laggy. The screen then flickered a little and went black. Next, it rebooted and then the home screen went black, except for the status bar which looks normal but will not drop down. Once the screen goes black from inactivity (even trying to press the touch keys produces no effect), pressing the screen unlock button will not turn the screen on. The screen will only turn on when connected to a charger. I had recently downloaded the gallery lock app (Morrison Smart Software), which seems to have mostly good reviews. I have performed 3 or 4 hard resets thus far. I need help fixing my phone. I can't remove the battery on this phone, and then screen isn't working correctly so I can't do a factory reset.

    Can you boot into SAFE MODE ??  You can also UNINSTALL that Gallery Lock APP from the online Android Market (PLAY).
    Safe mode:
    - Power Off
    - Power On
    - Press & HOLD both up & down volume buttons at the same time -- for like 3 mins while it boots up. Keep holding these down!
    - Phone should eventually come up and say SAFE MODE in lower left corner ..
    Does THAT work???  If so, see if that app is in your APP drawer and try to uninstall it.
    If that doesn't work, you can boot into the Maintenance Menu using a similar procedure that can get you to the ability to do a Factory Reset, if that's what you want to do.
    let us know.

  • 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 maxx Bluetooth issues.

    Anyone one else having this issue.  Bluetooth headset mutes itself randomly during call.  We have done everything possible. Hard reset to new phone sent.  This is driving me insane.  I drive for a living and rely on my headset. My droid bionic never had this issue.  Will the future lollipop take care of this.

    Well, sounds like there is a defect in the phone, so it might be eligible for warranty... Unless there may be something with the case you have on the phone, might impede the signal...
    EDIT: my bad, now I see that you already got a replacement already

  • Droid Charge - numerous issues

    My wife and I both switched from AT&T iPhones to Verizon Charges about 2 months ago.  While some things, such as coverage, have generally improved for me, we've both encountered numerous issues overall.  Here's the list of the most frequent and specific issues we've found:
     - Speaker phone mode defaults to on when picking up a call.  This is perhaps the most inexplicable one, since I've never seen nor heard of a setting to make this happen.
    - Random reboots  
    - Soft crash when exiting Browser and Google Maps
    - Random loss of 4G, then able to restore while in the same location by toggling mobile data
    - Poor battery life even with extended battery
    - Very slow to open bigger apps such as Touchdown
    - Extremely slow to list apps when adding a new shortcut to the home screen with LauncherPro
    - Multiple "Media Scanner Running" notifications after rebooting; including this time, where everything else is unusably slow, the reboot takes about 5 minutes
    - Random missed text messages
    - Random loss of Bluetooth connection (ex: Hyundai Sonata)
    - Random brightness drop even with auto brightness disabled
    - GPS takes a long time to acquire, when other GPS devices in the same location are working
    - Often locks up in camera mode, battery needs to be taken out to reset
    I have an Asus tablet as well with many of the same apps installed, and I don't encounter anything close to this number of issues.  For example, Touchdown is perfectly responsive on the tablet, slow on the phone.  So I don't think this is an Android problem, but a device problem.  I've also seen many posts from people having some of the same issues, without much as far as resolutions other than "deal with it" or "work around it".  Anyone have ideas on what we can do to make this phone work better?
    Thanks in advance,
    Mike

    I am there with you on all these issue with the Charge.  I love this phone, but by the time my contract is up I will be hating it if they don't fix all these issues.  I've had this phone since May 2011 and already exchanged it three times. 
    the biggest issue is the bluetooth headset.  Randomly out of nowhere the phone will not recognize the headset, however yet when you look the settings it says it's still connected, but just try to make a call using the headset.  If I try to disconnect it, or unpair it, the phone stays in disconnect/unpair mode until I take the batter out.  I let it sit in that mode one day to see if it would ever correct itself...you guessed it.  I had to take the battery out.
    My newest phone come to the house three days ago.  Right out of the box it had the same issues.  SO...Verizon if you are reading this I want a new phone, a different Droid phone w/o any restocking fees or other garbage.  Samsung should recall all these phones until they can get the mulitude of issue worked out.  I hate being a lab rat for new technology
