@buynardevonusher yeah I was thinking of doing something like that for the Incredible since the people who have that are probably new to android. maybe today if I have some time.. peace

[RJ2MELLO]

great tips...

[dylanbowers504]

It didn't work when i installed it any reason why?

[SkyeJumpen]

The app you were using for Sticky Notes is that by Bratag? I would like to get it.

[nickrock2323]

@SkyeJumpen

yup, the one i have is by Bratag

[nickrock2323]

@SkyeJumpen

you have to add it to a homescreen as a widget. go to add>android widget>sticky note.

[SkyeJumpen]

Was that Sticky Note app by Bratag that you were using? I would like to get that app.

Very nice series of videos, beats the crap out of all the stupid unboxings where they just show the same thing over and over. Well done :)

[kingcreo]

what is the best radio station app

[motoroladroid]

Great job!!!

Great videos, man. On the battery issue -- there are extra capacity batteries available. You can find 1500 mahs ones on ebay for about 5 - 10 bucks. That's 200 mahs more than the stock one in the Eris. I picked up a 1750 one from Seidio for 50 bucks. I can go 24 hours of moderate to heavy use before charging. And the battery-saving tips you posted in these vids would bump that way up, too. But I like to keep all the data and synching stuff running.

[nickrock2323]

im running my gps and google sync now 24/7, but running it with either panda or GDE and i close down everything in HTC. i get really good use now

[familyduenas]

is there any way i can get the bookmark widget on my g1? at 1:20

[ferngolf]

are howard stations still available?

[nickrock2323]

I was just listening to Howard in my car on a station called crystal one. the stations aren't very dependable and sometimes will stop after a half hour, but most if not all the time i am able to find a station, whether "history of howard" or recent shows. they were talking about conan and Leno so the one i was just listening to had to be this week.

[nctinter]

Great videos. Can you post a list of your favorite apps or ones you think are must have? Thank you

[joebruceman]

I got a droid eris a few days ago, and i love it soo much. The more you mess with it the more you will fall in love. I feel like i could get rid of my ipod cameras computers and probably even my tv if i could hook my 360 up to my eris. Thats how much this phone rules. If you own an Iphone and you think its gods gift to phones you need to check out the eris. In my opinion it blows the iphone out of the water. Thanks nickrock for showing me how to get the best from my eris.

[nickrock2323]

thanks dude, i feel the same. and while the iPhone can't touch some of these phones right now, don't think Apple won't go down without a fight. I think the hand held tablets are the future and the rumor is they are gonna unveil something kickass soon.

I might post another Eris video tomorrow, it should be good. have fun w/the phone peace

[Sassygirl676]

I have the HTC Droid Eris!!!

I love it, its amazing!!! It can do a lot of stuff but im not sure all it an do.... Can you respond or make another video showing more cool and amazing stuff you do with the Droid Eris? Thanks!

[cerulean19]

I really liked your informative videos! I got this phone a few weeks ago and I didn't know it could do all this. Can you possibly list somewhere all the apps you used?

[bibby42]

Loved it man, haha. I'm confused about the 5gb "unlimited data plan" myself. I've done some reading and it goes both ways on what people say... Either, "it doesn't cost anything to teether because it really is unlimited" or "you only get 5gb to teether before you are billed extra." I guess I'm gonna just ask a rep. But, how do you like the Eris? and how's the battery life on that sucker? I really want one.

[nickrock2323]

no one is sure about tethering right now. I am going to use it when it's only needed, and not abuse it, until i have a better understanding of verizons policy.

battery life is fine, i have gotten use to it by now. i have to charge it every night, but it usually lasts the day and i use it quite a bit. once you get the hang of the phone, you find ways to conserve battery and get the most out of it. since it does so much, u will use it alot, keep that in mind.

[arcangel1994]

so is it fast and smooth cause thats what im looking for cause ive heard that the sprint hero is kind of slow and laggy?

[videolover444]

is the teethering illegal?

[nickrock2323]

I'd be careful to be honest. I tested to see if it worked, and it was downloading like 1 meg/second, and I wasn't even clicking anything. so I shut it off.

there is alot of confusion about the $30 data plan vs. the $45. the "unlimited $30 plan" isn't "unlimited" it's only for 5GB. "Anyone using more than 5GB per line in a given month is presumed to be using the service in a manner prohibited above, and we reserve the right to immediately terminate the service of any such person without notice"

[AgentO47]

Actually you're wrong the unlimited plan really is unlimited what you're talking about is is for modems and not actuall phones like this I thought the same as you but look on the vzw forums and a rep answers this question straight confirming that unlimited really is unlimited. except for people using the broadband usb stuff they sell

[nickrock2323]

however, if you watch alot of Youtube, you will go over 5GB no problem. So basically the way I see it, if you use a ridiculous amount they might try to figure out if you are tethering or not then make that decision.

Supposedly you can get another $30 plan on top of the one you have for tethering, but that's also capped at 5GB. Makes no sense, besided, Verizon says they don't offer tethering when in fact you can because I've done it.

[AgentO47]

No if the network you're on catches you they can charge you for the data you used and it can be very expensive.

[nickrock2323]

I thought you said unlimited is really unlimited in your previous post?

Can you please explain what you mean. Is tethering legal or not. Whether you are using bandwidth on your laptop or on the phone, data is data, how will they know the difference.

Sorry, I am just confused.

[DanMil05]

lol at the annotation at 1:22. Thanks, i should try that to. Question, this phone should have google maps turn by turn direction but since the OS is android 1.5 and needs to be 2.0, do you know when this phone will be unpdated to android 2.0 for the sense UI?

[nickrock2323]

I heard Jan 20th or somewhere in that neighborhood.

[DanMil05]

@nickrock2323

ok. thanks for the reply.
