I hate the new unlock screen, anyone know a way to get rid of it? Or how I can get it to vibrate less when I unlock it, it’s already so loud

I had a rooted G1, so I know how to do the update, but I’m in no huge hurry, so I’m going to wait for the OTA update. It should arrive sometime in the next few days.

I really liked the G1, the very first Android phone, but the Droid is light years advanced from the G1 — just light years quicker than the G1 was. What a pleasure to own and use the Droid is.

I also feel that the bluetooth problem (not being able to be completely hands free) is frustrating. Hopefully this will be fixed soon. The Autofocus is also a problem, however, I love my phone. My wife is jealous…, not of me, but of my phone because it gets way too much of my attention. Times Gadget of the year…gotta love it.

I manually did the update yesterday along with rooting it and everything is working just fine. Don’t care about the unlock screen myself as I use a different one anyways. IMO the who device runs better and much smoother now.

Did the manual update yesterday. I’m not a fan of the new unlock screen. Only problem I’ve found is I had to uncheck and re-check the checkboxes for syncing my gmail and facebook accounts. Other than that, I’d like to think it’s a little faster but I can’t say definitively.

I just got the ota update. New unlock slider, Google widget moved a little, phone seems to be running a bit smoother, autofocus a bit better. Good job Google/Verizon/motorola: ) I love my droid

I was one of those impatient ones and updated my droid to 2.0.1 and so far so better than b4. I prefered thhe original slide to unlock but I will accept what has been given to me. Make sure you know what your doing if you plan to manually update your droid, if you don’t then Just wait till the OTA.

I think the bluetooth problem he’s talking about is the lack of the ability to push a button on your bluetooth headset to activate the voice dialing and make a call without touching the phone. That is possible on most phones which support bluetooth, but not on the Droid yet. What I don’t understand is what makes people think this is a hardware issue?! If the device connects to the Droid and pairs as a usable device… the hardware is working and it’s fine. Anything beyond that should be software which should be fixable in the future. I’m almost positive this will be solved sometime next year.

Dean, you say you don’t have the phone yet you Re certain there are blutooth hardware problems? I for one got my blutooth connected in two seconds with no problems. I am aware of a software problem where they did not program in all typrs of blu tooth but the ota update adresses this issue and it is now a non-issue. Just foot the damn money and be happy if you want it, if you don’t want it then don’t complain

enough of the droid already. motorolla stars as the titanic the droid stars as the band that played on. this ship is taking water faster than they can bail it out. don’t get me wrong motorolla knows how to build a radio comunications device. but fail everytime with mobile phones. times #1 gadget of the year is a joke it’s ussually the last big ticket item of the year before they close the presses for the year. can’t remember the last time a gadget lived up to the name after a year.
