Ringtones on the Droid, mabilo ringtones

Kevin — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 01:52:53 +0000

Want to add custom ringtones to your droid? You’re in the right place. By far the easiest way to do this, is to download an application from the android market. My personal favorite is Mabilo Ringtones, which is also easy to find. Once you’re in the android market, do a search for “ringtones.” Your first result will be a little red smiley that says “ringtones” right next to it. Click on this app, and install it. Once you have the app installed, you can fire it up and start browsing/previewing/searching for all your favorite songs.

New Droid Update creates security flaw.

admin — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 11:12:04 +0000

The new update just released for all Google phones not already on the 2.0 firmware creates a slight flaw in security. On the custom lock screen you can set up, if it’s enabled, and you receive a phone call while the phone is locked, during the call you can just press the “back” arrow button and have access to all the phone’s normal menu. Some people find this as a real vulnerability, but I think it couldn’t be more meaningless. First, there aren’t tons of phone thieves lurking in the shadows waiting to access people’s menus. Second, even if there were, upon losing a phone, you can instantly deactivate the service on it.

Motorola claims they’re releasing a patch very soon.

Notification Bar on the droid, great feature

Kevin — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 02:50:44 +0000

One of the most fun features on this new phone is the notification bar. It tells you when there are updates for one of your apps, when downloads are complete, and even when people change their facebook statuses if you want. From any screen, simply slide your finger down from the very top bar on your phone, and the notification bar will come flying down with all it’s contents.

Google Voice for Droid, visual voicemail done right

Kevin — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 11:33:03 +0000

If there’s one way to put your foot in the door, it’s offering what’s normally a paid service, for free. Google has done just that with it’s Google Voice app for the Droid, which is arguably better than any other visual voicemail app, and without the $10 a month bullshit. You can listen or read a text version of the voicemail all within the app. I find it pretty funny that apple won’t allow this in their app store. +1 for Google. To download simply search for “Google Voice” in the droid market.

Dolphin Browser on the Droid, the smartest browser ever.

Kevin — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 09:40:05 +0000

I recently was doing some research on Droid browsers, the native one couldn’t have multiple windows open at the same time. Every review I’ve read has said the Dolphin Browser for the Droid is a must download. Tabbed browsing, social sharing of almost any kind, and much more. Watch the video and be amazed at the most advanced browser yet.
