Droid 2.1 do it yourself: Manually Update Your Droid To 2.1 (ESE81) | Android Phone Fans
Did it!
Xi,
Any idea of how to link a Droid to the Horde Email system we use? I did my work email today and it is an exchange system. If I'm not mistaken the Horde is an IMAP system and it is more involved. I would love to have site stuff alerts sent to my phone so I can deal with them.
The setup for IMAP is pretty straightforward.Quote:

I've never tried to set up our email here, everything forwards to my gmail account. Mac's right, if you have the info it should be straight forward.
I attempted to set it up using the usual settings and it did not work.
We need to get the info from the bossman.
I was able to set up my POP accounts without issue.
How's 2.1 on the Droid? You download any animated wallpapers yet?
Honestly the only thing I've noticed so far is the pinch to zoom.Quote:

OK, yes - the live wallpapers are on the phone.... pretty cool!
The text to speech thing rocks.
I yelled Washington State DOT at the phone today and it took me to their traffic website.
Updating mine right now. Thanks for the link!!!!Quote:

Some time in the next few weeks. If they do everyone at once it will overwhelm the network and if there's a problem it will slam their call centers.Quote:

You guys see any noticeable issues since you updated?

I have not seen a slowdown at all.
I *have* seen that live wallpapers will eat battery time.
Got the update at 0600 this morning.
There's an app for that. :D

Apple's iPhone OS 4.0 No Threat to Android - PCWorld
Quote:
For the rest of the smartphone world, however, these features are old news. The truth about Apple's iPhone 4.0 update is that -- despite Steve Jobs' tendency to describe it with words like "amazing," "wonderful," and "delightful" -- it doesn't offer anything substantial that Android-powered devices haven't offered for quite some time.
That's why the iPhone's new software alone shouldn't pose much threat to Android's ever-increasing growth within the mobile market.
Beware Ultimate Droid!

Yay, I learned stuff from this thread..
I've had my droid since november, but it's been bone stock since day one with only a few apps.. So hopefully you guys can help me a bit.
1. The one thing I find actually lacking the most on the droid is the phone, specifically speed dialing. I do miss being able to hold down buttons on my BB pearl to iniate a speed dial. A friend showed me how to set icons up to direct dial, but I now basically have an entire 1/3 home screens dedicated to icons.. Is there an easier way?
2. Default MP3 player works fine, but making playlists is such a tedious hassle. Anyone have any solutions there?
3. I'm tired of waking up to the same song every morning. I'd really love to be able to set my alarm to play either pandora or from a playlist?
