View 14 RepliesEverytime I connect my Droid3 to the computer my Droid Pulls pictures and music FROM my PC and puts it on the phone. Sometimes it will pull All of my pictures, and sometimes it randomly selects 2 or 3 HUNDRED of them. I recently decided to add some music to my phone and as I was creating my "playlist" to sync to my droid, I noticed that something was happening. Before I even hit sync, my phone pulled ALL of the music off my computer and stored it on my phone.
I have tried to delete the pictures by going into the file on the computer and I get half way through when it locks up. I have to delete EACH picture.
I have gone to the Verizon Store, they have never heard of this happening. They did a reset, which thrilled me because I lost all of my ringtones and downloaded apps. It also erased all the personalized ringtones I had set.
Is anyone else having a problem connecting the phone to the desk dock via USB cable to the computer?When I connect a USB cable directly to the phone from the computer, the phone is charging and the computer recognizes that the phone has been connected and mounts the phone as a drive.If I connect that same USB cable to the desktop dock, then drop the phone in the dock, the phone detects that it's in the dock, but it doesn't charge, and the computer doesn't recognize that anything has been connected.If I plug a wall charger into the desktop dock, then drop the phone in the dock, the phone charges with no problem.this bundle also came with a little desktop charging station, which has just a small slot for the spare battery (also part of this bundle), and two USB ports (one male and one female). If I plug that same USB cable into the small charging station (female USB port) and drop the spare battery in, it starts charging. If at the same time, I plug the male USB port of the charging station into the phone's USB port, the computer recognizes the phone has been attached and also the phone starts charging too.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs anyone else having problems with their computer crashing when you connect your phone to the computer via USB cable? This was a pre-existing problem before but it was solved by checking USB debugging (or vice-versa). But after the software upgrade to 4.0.4, I get the blue-screen-of-death and the computer crashes every time no matter which setting I choose for the USB debugging. This makes it almost impossible to transfer files between my computer and phone.

View 2 Replies View RelatedEvery time I connect the XPRT to my computer, it performs a long drawn out process. One the phone it reads:
1. Connecting usb or mass storage
2. Preparing SD card
3. SD card safe to remove
Steps 2. and 3. are continually cycled back and forth for at least 10 minutes. During this period I cannot access any of the data on the phone via the computer. Once the cycling is complete and the notifications menu reads "SD card safe to remove," it functions normally. The entire time I have the USB connection set as "USB Mass Storage." Other than that I do not have any problems transferring data to and from the phone, however, it is frustrating that it takes so long for it to connect.
Why won't my D3 play music via USB when connected to my car stereo? Even my old crappy Imagio did it. And my friends Droid X would work too...mine just says READING forever and never plays..
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm having trouble connecting to my company's Exchange server with my new Droid 3. I've upgraded from the original Droid, which had no problems connecting. I noticed one difference between the old email app on the Droid and new one on the Droid 3 is that the original app had a setting to "Allow all certificates". My company authorizes our own certificates, and I wonder if my problem might be related to that. I have exported my certificate from my desktop computer and installed it on the Droid 3, but that doesn't seem to have had any effect.When I attempt to set up my email account via Corporate Sync, I get an error: "Could not connect to server". The server is running, and everything else can connect to it fine.
View 15 Replies View RelatedIn the past month or so I've noticed that the GPS is having issues not connecting and when it does connect it's miles off of my location.Last weekend I was driving from MA. to CT. Fired up GPS and Google maps (my current location was displayed a few miles off) entered the End Point then Go, I get "Searching for GPS" so I tossed it up on the dashboard. Had my copilot fire up her GPS on her android and everything was working fine on hers. An hour into the ride mine all of a sudden it got it's collective brains together and started give directions.I believe it's the GPS that's twisted. I can try to check into places via FB and again it's miles off on the Bing map. I can try the same thing in google maps and it's miles off.Is there a util that can manipulate the GPS, maybe reset it, uninstall/reinstall?Any ideas on how to fix this?
View 4 Replies View RelatedSince the upgrade to ICS, my Droid Razr won't connect with the factory installed bluetooth in my 2008 Nissan Sentra. It worked perfectly before the upgrade but now nothing. It pairs and when I call using the steering wheel controls it turns on the phone with the correct person and calls them. However, you can't hear the phone ringing in the speaker and if/when the person answers you can't hear them. I was excited to get the upgrade but my car bluetooth is more important to me. Everything else works great but the bluetooth is a major safety issue for me as I drive a great deal. Does anyone know how to fix this or is there a way to undo the upgrade?

View 10 Replies View RelatedAt home I am pretty sure it does the same thing. This morning when I got to the office, I noticed it was telling me that I have a wifi available. Open it up and there was the known wifi I have been connected to before, all week. Odd though, it says disabled but when i click it to connect, it says obtaining ip but then does back to not connected and says disabled. So basically I cannot connect to the wifi and I am 110% positive I have the correct password since I have connected to it just yesterday. Also curious why it isn't just connecting automatically to a known wifi. I have checked and others are on it right now.

Also, if I move an app to the sd card, when it's not connected to a computer, it disappears from my home screen as well.It seems like a recent update to the phone has caused problems with app to sd functionality. Is there any way to fix this other than moving all my apps back to the phone?

I noticed an odd behavior last week and again today. I have a Moto T605 BT kit in my truck. Only since the ICS upgrade, if I have my phone off, and then turn it on while in the truck, as soon as it connects to the kit, it dials the most recent number in my history, whether that call was inbound or outbound.
View 10 Replies View RelatedWhenever i voice ask my Droid Turbo to do something verbally it will come back FIRST by saying "connecting to google" then it will begin performing whatever task i have asked it. Example: i would say "whats up google now navigate to 123 main street Oceanside": and it will come back with a VERBAL reply "connecting to google" "navigating to 123 main street Oceanside" How do i PREVENT and STOP it from verbally replying EVERYTIME i ask a question before beginning my task by my phone giving a verbal "connecting to google" Its very annoying and in my mind an unnecessary response for the phone to always be saying.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Droid2 Global which has stopped all audio to selected phone numbers. The calls connect OK but there is no audio at all. No ringing, and no voice in either direction. I know it is my phone as it is now happening on 2 phone numbers. All connections, both incoming and outgoing are affected. Speaker, bluetooth will not work. I do not have a wired option to test the 3.5mm jack. I've factory reset, removed the contact details, power off, ..... Others work well, just these numbers. Latest version and no updates pending.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have my Droid Xyboard set so that the if the screen turns off and its not plugged into the power adapter, the wifi will disconnect. (Under Wifi Settings > Wi-Fi disconnect Policy > select "Never when plugged in"). The wifi is supposed to connect automatically when I turn the screen on (I assume), but that doesn't always happen, many times it just sits there searching for a connection, and I have to manually turn off the wifi radio, then turn it on again, and then it connects automatically.
I have my IP settings set to "static" - which has improved the problem I think, but has not completely solved it. My security setting on my router is (WPA/WPA2 PSK) - but this happens with other wifi networks as well. My Mobile network connection is always turned off, unless I come to use it, I manually turn on the 3G/4G LTE radio.
I want to know if the D3 can connect to wireless headphones and a bluetooth heart rate monitor simultaneously? I am thinking about purchasing a bodymedia link arm band and I would like to use this while also using LG HBS-700 bluetooth headphones. How does it work?

View 5 Replies View RelatedMy phone (DROID 3, less than a year old) won't connect to my computer, and I'm not sure if the issue is the phone or the computer. I have done all I can do on Motorola's troubleshooting/guided assistance pages. Downloading new drivers, restarting, and updating software hasn't worked. I'm using a Gateway laptop with Windows 7, and before the holiday season just passed my phone and my computer got along fine. Now, not so much, and I haven't done anything deliberate to cause this. No damages etc.My phone will begin charging when plugged into any USB port on my computer, and the computer recognizes something happened but a little alert bubble pops up saying "USB Device Not Recognized" each time. I can't access any of my phone's files from my computer the way I used to be able to, AutoPlay does not start up, and nothing I've done so far has worked to fix these issues.

I know the X2 has two processors, but that does not mean it has two "drives".
