2.2 has this built in… its just a bitch to get to. click the menu button on the bottom of the home screen, so all the apps come up, lay your phone flat and shake it. It works sometimes and it doesn’t others. Mine has been doing it all day haha. It is the same dock with weather, music, alarm, pictures, and a home button. So there you go. Great app, but i’ll take my free built in software.

Updated Original Droid to Android 2.2 OS. now this app will not run. uninstalled, reinstalled, still crashed. Can not find any longer in App Market. There is a new similar app in the new OS called Clock with similar features, but does not behave as well as this did. Please update for 2.2 and put back on the market!!!!!!

If you force the droid to update to Froyo, this application comes with the new OS. Also, the OS allows the orientation of the phone to be upright or on either side. Pretty nice, I use it everyday.

Hey, I downloaded this on the droid X but i cant seem to get out of the mode. Everytime i press the “home” key it goes back to the landscape screen and i keep have to exit out of it. Is there anyway i can remove it completely? Because i like the app, but it just isnt working for me.

I just ran this app to check it out. When i exited the app, my phone stopped going back to the portrait view. Now my phone only has landscape view. This sucks. This application may suck.

When I first purchased the phone, I bought a desktop dock. When the phone was placed in the dock it would automatically change to the alarm clock / weather screen. It stopped doing it recently. The app is a nice way to get this functionality back, but I would really like to know why it suddenly stopped working in the first place. Also if the original designers of the dock are listening, make note that if you install a cover / case on your phone it no longer fits in the docking cradle.

You don’t need any app. Just place a magnet behind the phone, by where the usb opening is, slightly above it. You will feel the magnet being attracted. That will make the original multimedia application open. Use a small strong magnet, otherwise the navigation application will open too.

Hey,

I’ve found a better way of docking the Droid for free:

Here’s how I made a slick dock for 3 bucks. It lets me keep my case on and works like a champ. I have one at my home desk, in the bedroom and in my office at work. Spread the word! The only thing it doesn’t do is charge while on it but I would much rather have the case on it and I can charge it while I’m in the car.

It should really be common practice to display an app’s QR code (2-D barcode), or link to it, whenever talking about the app.

In the age of in-phone barcode scanners, leaving out the QR code is tantamount to talking about a website without remembering to link to it.

just got a droid today and was wondering if anyone has found a case that you can use with the dock. I dont like the pouches that clip on your belt i like the cases that are always on the phone.
thanks for your help

I just got the droid today. It might be a stupid question but how do I search for apps on the android market? I go to android.com/market and it only shows me the top rated stuff. It doesn’t appear to let me search for anything… Sorry, i’m a newby
