Just wanted to let people know that Chuzzle is free for today (5/17) only on the Amazon App Store. It's not the best game but still serves as a decent way to waste time!
http://www.amazon.com/mobile-apps/b?ie=UTF8&node=2350149011
Enjoy!
My wife was really looking fwd to this, but sadly doesn't seem to work on OG Droid. AZ page says OGD 2.2.2 & up, but not for her on cyan 6, which I thought was 2.2.3ish? Can't look now as she is pretty jealous of her time with her phone.
Nor on cyan 7, which i think technically might be "up" from 2.2.2, if my math is correct.
Couldn't be more disappointed. Got her all excited and let her down hard. If anyone knows of a good clone I would appreciate a heads up.

OG Droid is the original Droid for Verizon, correct? If so, I believe CM7 is 2.3. Take a look here and see if your wife would let you update her phone to CM7. Tell her it comes w/ Chuzzle!
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/21654-cyanogenmod-7-for-the-motorola-droid-v703-5-may-2011/
I may have spoken even less clearly than usual. I tried it on my og droid with cm7, no dice. If I can't find a working chuzzle/clone I may have to provide a foot rub tonight to make things right.
Popcap/Amazon will do the same with Plants vs Zombies on its launch day. I've seen May 30th and 31st offered as possible launch dates, but I'm not sure a date is known yet.
I don't think I can run either on my present hardware, but I'm grabbing the freebies for future use.
Curse you popcap. I have lost my Evo to my niece since installing chuzzle. When they finally release PvZ I will never get my phone back!

MY wife has the Droid Inc. I have the X.
Here is my question my wife has gotten 2 Google Map Updates in the 3weeks I bought my x. I have gotten none. Am I missing a setting?
ur not missing anything as far as the updates go. the dinc came out first so it prolly had a much earlier edition of maps. the x is newer and probably came with the most recent version of maps when it released. even if she just updated hers yesterday or today it may have been a update that has been available for sometime that she just didnt install. when the next update comes u will see it. more than likely when you open the market u will see it or it will pop up in the notification bar.
You checked the versions, and yours is not the latest? Latest comes with the Places app.
Not sure when Market checks automatically. If you being up your downloads in the Market app, it should check then. You can always install it again from the market manually, and get the latest.
As a sidenote: I've noticed that if you install an app from local storage (i.e. SD card), as opposed to from the Market, the Market doesn't see it, and doesn't know to check for updates. But, since Maps is pre-installed, I doubt that's the issue here.
My version is 4.3.0(#4307) the wife is traveling for work so I can't check hers until next Friday.
She just called hers is 4.40 (#4414)
I got an update the other day not sure what version though but I am getting it and I'm on an x

Great so once again it is just me.
I got my answer. I just want to share with all of you in case this happens to someone else. Before I start this is my first smart phone ever I had an HTC Inc. for 2 weeks before it became the wife's new phone. So I am new at this.
In the Android Market go to your settings and then to download. I saw the Google Map update and 4 other updates that I was missing.
Thank You to those of you that responded to my post. What pisses me off is that 3 phones calls to Verizon Tech Support led to Big Red telling me call Motorola. I did and they could not help me.
Where did I get this answer from some chick in a Verizon store with a nose ring and a Frisbee in her ear. Just need to get that off my chest.

Just read this article:
http://androidandme.com/2010/11/pho...-s-phones-will-not-see-android-2-2-till-2011/
The Captivate is seriously the best phone I have ever owned and I purchased it the first day it became available. Now I think I should have waited a few months before shelling out $499.99. But I am getting really disappointed with Samsung and just want to sell it soon. If this is JUST 2.2, imagine Gingerbread or Honeycomb? I know that I don't have to wait for the official releases, as I'm running DG's 9.1.3 ROM, but just this lack of support from Samsung AGAIN is annoying. On top of the lack of timely software support we still have the GPS issue. I did almost all of the tricks in these forums and the GPS works when it wants to. I have to have it work all the time. I'm thinking of when these new dual-core phones come out in the coming months of just selling my beloved Captivate and getting something else that's not made by Samsung-- as the only thing I will truly miss will be the screen. At this point Samsung might as well just skip 2.2 and go straight to 2.3 but we know they won't do that. Hopefully the Nexus S turns out to have fewer issues. /rant
Who is the "we" you are referring too? I guess you are a canadian fascinate owner as that is the only model that was stated for a 2011 update to 2.2.
Seriously, you are speculating on an article that is all speculation itself and creating FUD for others.
Just out of curiosity, what froyo features are you waiting for that you want so badly?

Go to Twitter.com/GalaxySSupport and look at how many times they specifically say the Captivate will have Froyo by the end of the year.
From what I understand, it's ATT, not Samsung causing any delay. In any event, I'm fine with 2.1...I don't see the huge features brought by 2.2 anyway
At this point we may as well just wait for someone to cook some gingerbread.
Froyo
According to Samsung Galaxy S Support, we should have 2.2 by the end of this year.
My friend that works for AT&T says that's supposedly they are supposed to update on November 26th but like everyone else I hear dates alot and have stopped holding my breath... Im looking forward to the flash 10.1 in froyo see what more I can do with my phone online its already taken the place of my laptop for reading my morning tech blogs so I can get up and go.

Seriously? Another thread speculating on the froyo release date? You said it yourself... there's a whole development section that has plenty of froyo for you. If you just wanted to use the software your carrier provides, you should have gotten an iphone.

I also work at AT&T and i've heard no such date as to when the official 2.2 roll out is going to happen.
yeah if you here a date it is unofficial and subject to change at any moment, usually it will get delayed not pushed up. the att reps i have talked to are kept in the dark until the release day in most cases. the truth is that att is quite lazy.
back in september when we all thought a froyo release was coming soon i spoke to a samsung engineer who quoted "we are working on the froyo update around the clock" and "the wait should not be unusually long" well the lanuage hes used of "working around the clock" put my expectations around november. now who knows.

Bluetooth voice dialing. Bluetooth sound quality is bad on i9000 kernels used on the captivate.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Even when the official 2.2 update comes out, I honestly don't see myself, or a lot of the xda community switching over to it. With DG doing great work on the Cog builds and a lot of people following in his footsteps to provide us new roms, the official Samsung and ATT approved updates will always be just mediocre at best.

It looks like March 3rd/4th is the next rumored drop date for the TB. BGR is reporting an insider at VZW was at an event held last night with TB launch details etc.
http://www.bgr.com/2011/02/24/htc-thunderbolt-may-launch-on-march-3rd-or-4th-4g-lte/
-Lil'
I saw that in the Android Central forums, it's quite possible. If the date holds I can hold on another week. Of course it'd be nice for Verizon to say something.
I actually beleive this may really be the date, Im kind of relieved..
My local Verizon corp. store took down all their TB signs. They are only flying the iP4 signs now. There for a while the walls were plastered with TB ads and signs.
Which "MARCH MADNESS" are we going to watch the NCAA BASKETBALL or the VERIZON /HTC Thunderbolt madness ???????
It might be even later if they can't get the FW more stable. It looks like they are going to just release the device and then push a couple OTA after release.
I've had the Incredible since May of 2010(one of the lucky ones) and am amazed at the recent rom development for this phone. I am also eligible for an upgrade as I am the primary line account.
That being said, I am excited for the Thunderbolt; but I can wait for the release. Chances are Verizon may lower the price after 30 days or so, depending on how well its received.

I must have missed that info. Has anyone with credibility actually stated that, or is that just another rumor being thrown around? I would assume if they already shipped out plenty of units, the FW would be plenty stable.

I work for Qualcomm, and the device went gold since January. The Network is being fine tuned to handle the LTE devices, and iPhone traffic, but the firmware is not the reason. There were numerous tentative release dates, but Verizon publically stated 1Q. Iphone 4 was the first priority, but that's my opinion.

Everything I've read so far indicates that you should allow it to update first. You should do some more reading though just to be sure of what you're doing. I'm going to leave mine stock for a while until I'm comfortable with it.

This is a good thing. The G tablet went from a aftethought to maybe the most popular non ipad tablet in a matter of a week.
On a side note. my woot G tablet came with stock 2.2. Angry Birds and a few other apps . You could access the dashboard but it always started on stock 2.2 then I did the update and it went to the dashboard and angry birds ( and some of the other Apps ) was gone. Strange. Had to go to viewsonics website to put Angry Birds back on. ALmost like these were refurbs that were never updated. Mines working fine and I love it , just something I noticed.

I would recommend the 3588 OTA stock update first - it's a good solid baseline to have before modding.

RE: over capacity
XDA recently migrated to new servers powerful enough to make Bill Gates drool. Unfortunately, with all the new power comes immense tweaking to the SQL databases, and until our server admin finds the sweet spot, these may happen on occasion.
Rest assured that every error generates a notification, and he acts as quick as possible.

Notice how the site's all snappy now?
It's because the Wooters are off trying to get a Bag of Crap (I've given up hope...)

I think all the woot ones are older stock rather than being refurbs.
Woot is good about that sort of thing and will tell you up front if it is a refurbed device.

Please educate me!!! Who are wooters? Why have they brought xda-developers site to this unprecedented 'over-capacity?'
Definitely more laggy
The site's definitely more laggy over the last day or so....
To me, the sad part is that because ViewSonic has effectively taken a pass on gTab support, virtually the entire customer support load has landed on the XDA site and the generosity of its devs and user community.
If there were such a thing as corporate shame, ViewSonic should be feeling it.
All microsoft stores are a doing promo, you can challenge any of their windows phones w/ various of test and if you lose, you get the option to trade in your phone for a brand new windows phone w/ no strings attached regardless of your phone service.
It can be any phone, even crappy old blackberrys and old Iphones. I was just gonna trade in my old iphone for a new windows phone but then a friend of mine beat their phone w/ his iphone4 and got a free HP folio ultra book worth $1000. They dont allow jailbroken or modified overclocked phones, but according so some people, they just scroll through your phone and dont really check.
Some challenges they have you do is to take a picture and then upload it to facebook. First one to upload wins. Friend got lucky because the microsoft associate phone locked up on him
One of my other friends that didnt have a facebook had to search for a 4 star resturant with reviews and direction. He had a bone stock epic 4g and the windows phone couldnt get a gps lock lol.
I feel like id have a good chance on taking them on with my phone as soon as i fix the gps lock. But what else should I do to make my phone look stealth to the point where you cant tell its rooted?
My friend w/ the epic 4g said they turned it on and just looked at it and said ok.
Also is there a way to restore the boot animation to stock? Im currently running Cm7 nightly that is 2 nightly b4 the current one as well as trinity kernal and that gives out an animation on boot.

As for making it look like it isn't rooted or OC'ed, find that flashable zip of superuser without the actual apk so it won't show up in your drawer, remove any overclock programs too.
For the boot animation if you can find a completely stock 2.3.3 zip take the animation from that, as for the splash screen, you'd have to compile your own kernel.
i might just backup my current rom and flash w/ full wipe the gingerbread stock rom
anyway to tweak that to make it a bit faster?
Lmfaoooo, say no more!
Or do what I will, since I use GoLauncher, you can hide apps from showing up in the drawer. Superuser, CPU Master, Titanium Backup, all hidden. And set the theme back to stock. OC to 1.4 gHz on boot before I hide the app.

Hey guys, sorry i hadnt updated since posting this thread but...I WON!
lol i reflashed cm7 b4 i went to the microsoft store to make it look like my phone was stock. They didnt even check it.
My challenge was to find a 4star resturant w/ reviews and directions on same page. It was the challenge i was prepared for. Google maps opened in a sec and i already had a resturant in search history and i smoked their crappy windows phone.
I won a 13" special edition ultra book HP folio!
they also extended the contest from the 29th to April 5th but only giving out 100 phones a day and a limit of 10 Ultrabooks (if someone wins) a day.
