Hey for anyone using Verizon Fios, in the marketplace do a search for fios and two useful aps will appear. The Fios mobile ap and The Fios mobile remote. I have used both and their pretty good .

Has anyone found a solution to the horrible voice quality in calls? My Blackberry was PERFECT... Droid... POS.

have you tried the free version of pdnet for tethering? it works very good, in fact I'm in the middle of parking lot posting this.

ever since the 2.1 update, my phone has getting more and more sluggish. a couple times now i've had an incoming call and it's like the phone freezes. my ringtone plays, i try to slide to answer but get no response. then the call just goes on as if i didn't touch it and sends the caller to voicemail. anyone else had an issue with this? also my GPS absolutely refuses to connect once in a while, particularly when i need it to.

Have you reset it? Have you added any aps lately? task killer ap is a big culprit for making droids to run slow. I uninstalled it, and mine is back to its quick self again

Without TaskKiller, you will have tons of stuff running the background, slowing the Droid down. Just curious, but what makes you think TaskKiller slows the Droid down? I've seen the opposite effect with my phone.

I'm also a member of the Android forum, and this ap has been discussed. And in some cases removing the app will make it run like its supposed to, some people with slowness issues that had this ap installed found as soon as they removed it the droid felt a lot faster than with the app. I have also removed the ap and found it also that it improved the performance. I think the ap is using to much of the memory to monitor what apps are running. Remember task killer is always on. This is only a suggestion in the event he has this ap

I thought TaskKiller was always on if you're using the widget...not the app? When I use TaskKiller, I will often find a dozen or more programs running. How do you guys close these programs if you're not using TaskKiller. If you're not closing them, I would think that would have to be zapping your available memory and draining the battery.

yea i rely on taskiller for what it does but you may have a point. i did change from a live background to a fixed one and that seems to help some
