I just got this and set up a few new task. We will see how it goes but hee are the rules I set,-brightness, - all the way up when plugged in
-brightness - 30% when battery under 70%
-speaker- volume off when headset out.
I set up wifi up to be on when I am home but this and the bluetooth times (commute to work) I need to mess around with more. I have the times but I need to set the days.
I'm thinking about setting my alarm song for different days,
-Monday - Come Monday Jimmy Buffet
-Tuesday - Tuesdays gone
this looks cool

I use Tasker and have set up a number of Profiles/Tasks.
I have it set to recognize my home SSID, once it does, it turns off mobile data and turns on WIFI. When I leave the SSID, it turns off WIFI and turns on Mobile Data.
When I plug in my headphones, a menu pops up with all my apps that relate to listening. I also set up the screen to stay on when I'm plugged in and either PowerAmp or Pandora are on so I can see what's playing.
I set up a Gesture that opens my e-mail application when I "flip" the phone horizontal to the ground.
I set it up to go silent if I place the phone face down on weekdays from 8-6 (work). I also have it set to vibrate while my calendar shows me busy during work hours.
Set to have GPS turned on when I open Maps, Navigation, RunKeeper, etc.
Finally, I have 2 widgets set up - one for games the other for root tools - that when pressed provide a menu with applications I chose.
This thing is really powerful adn there's a lot of discussions out on the web with ideas.

This is the main reason I rooted my phone. It's nice to decide what is one and not on my phone. Well that and the tethering.

On your Droid, go to Settings | Wireless & Networks | Bluetooth Settings. In the bluetooth devices section long press on your bluetooth device and select Options when it pops up. Under profiles, clear the check mark next to the Media option.sho nuff said:MixZing does that randomly when I have headphones plugged in...it will just start playing a song. Even when I have tunedin radio playing. Its odd.Buddy Ball 2K3 said:Already tried that one.Maurile Tremblay said:

Can you explain this a little more please. Does it recognize your SSID? How do I figure out what mine is?

I'm way late to the game. Can someone provide me a link to step by step instructions to root a 2.2.1 Droid X?

Why would I want to clear that every day and turn it back on when I get in the car?I stream tuned in or music through bluetooth in the car.I turn off bluetooth as I leave my care.Plug in headphones and walk to work...have them going all day while at my desk on tuned in...but from time to time, mixzing will just start playing.Its not often, maybe once a week. Just odd.

I've been using BeyondPod for well over a year now. Very reliable and constantly tweaked with new features.

Easy Peasy. You can do it through your phone or PC.This is how to do it through the PC.
Go to GoogLe Reader.
Log In
Bottom Left you will see subscriptions
There is a button top left of the page that says ADD Subscritpion - CLick it
A box will drop down - enter the podcast you want to follow
For example (Sportsguy - http://sports.espn.go.com/espnradio/podcas...ast?id=2864045)
This will now show up in your subscriptions.
Click manage subscriptions at the bottom
This will bring up a page with your podcast links.
Change the folder to Listen Subscriptions
Now when you open up listen on your phone it will be there.
You can then set sync times, options etc etc.
Set up a Profile called Wifi Near. When asked for the Context, select "State". Scroll to the bottom and you'll see a Wifi Near option. Click that, then next to SSID you should see a magnifying glass. Click that and then choose your router's SSID.

Thank you both for these suggestions. Glad to be rid of that lock screen and have more apps available right on the home screen.To contribute, if you're interested in geocaching c:geo is a great app.

Yup, I have that part setup just fine. But in Google Listen under My Listen Items, there is a Queue (Items to play continuously) and there are Fresh Items. I was wondering if there is a way to manage THAT queue (not just the items that show up in My Listen Items) without having to go to the phone and move stuff to the queue there. I do a lot of listening at times where I don't want to have to dig the phone out, find another podcast, click play, put it away...I like it to just continue playing, and it seems like if I don't have items in the queue it just stops.Maybe with Tasker?

What is "rooting" your phone?
Sarnoff
Footballguy
"root" is the most primary level of access in a computer system, basically it unlocks all the system software so you can do anything to the phone... put on a new operating system, install your own programs, etc. Of course, if you screw it up, it'll make the phone a very expensive paperweight.

Best things I got out of it was: overclocking the cpu (speed!!), getting rid of unwanted apps that can't be removed normally and blocking ads. There's more but that's what I wanted out of it.

Just got a Mortola Droid 2 and love the thing. Questions about the music apps
1) Why is it that you can download for free? I assume it's a file sharing thing, but how is this different from Napster?
2) can you download any song from your Droid to the computer and then put on your Ipod? Can't see how that gets around copyright laws. If that's the case.....there is no reason to every buy a song though Itunes store.
3) What is the best thing to use to hook up your Droid to play through your car stereo?
4) Can you download multiple songs at the same time.....I have using the Music Box app and appears to be one song at a time.
5) Is there a music app that can search by album? Music Box only can by artist and song.

I'm not rooted now so I forget most of it, but for over clocking go to the market and buy setcpu. Very good app. I'll have to think how I did the ad block. Must have been an app.

Not sure much on your other questions. On this, Im using a Motorola T505 Bluetooth. Can use it on its own as a speakerphone...or the preferred way with the FM transmitter and playing it through your car speakers.It will pause whatever you are listening to if you get a call and play the call through the speakers as well.
It has been working well so far and seems to have pretty solid battery life.
I use this as well. Absolutely love it. In fact, am getting the wife one for her birthday

My next thing is bluetooth headphones.
But have not been happy with the results in that search.
Some of it will be for at work...which there are plenty of options.
The problem is, I would also like to get the small adapter for my iPod Nano and use the headphones for running. This seems to be the sticking point so far.

My phone is rooted, but Verizon keeps wanting me to update the OS. I have an updated OS... Is there a way to turn off update notifications?

Sorry if you guys already discussed this. Is there any way to prevent these damn thing from randomly deleting all of your text messages? Happens to me probably once every 3 weeks or so. It's not that I really need the old texts, but being able to control that would be nice.
Also, TuneIn only saves my preset stations for about 3 days and then they disappear. What's up with that?

Starting using a new personal finance app called EasyMoney. It has a free 1 month trial and after that its $10.00. Little pricey for an app but I think I might be hooked.
