Rotation mode is just a settings issue. I am no longer on the stock ROM, but I believe the setting is in 'System Settings'->Display (the option is called auto rotate).
Also, rooting was super easy. I had the thing rooted within half an hour of taking it home. Not only that, but we now leaked firmware files, so the thing should be borderline impossible to hard brick (just don't do anything stupid before the battery is charged).
The D4 is a great phone. If it had a replaceable battery it would probably be the best thing since sliced bread. That being said, my battery life on AOKP (3rd party ROM) is pretty decent. Using Battery Monitor Widget, I am getting an average of 18hours on a full charge (full to empty). Not great (since it can only go down from there), but good enough for now.
It's dangerous to go alone! Take this.
Yes, I have a charger just for the battery. Picked it up off eBay for about $3.00. It's slow but it's compact and works great.
What?
You don't need Windows Server to host websites. All you need is a web server (sometimes called a httpd). Take a look at wamp which is a simple installer containing the most popular webserver software - apache, as well as one of the most popular database and scripting languages.
Yes. Macs and PCs have had this kind of software for at least a decade (probably closer to 2). Just google it.
Sorry I wasn't very clear in my original post.
I have the original Motorola Droid with Android 2.2.1 FRG83D installed and rooted. On this page (http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/) under the device column, it lists Motorola Droid/Milestone as a compatible device, but then in the Android Version column it says 2.0.
My confusion is, does that mean the application requires my Droid to be running Android 2.0 or does that mean it at the least it needs Android 2.0?
Thisis what I got. Im sure theres better out there, but this has lasted me well for almost a year. Also, they gave me a bobble head Cat in the Hat that I have since lost. :\
I know you specifically wanted a docking station, but I recently bought the Soundfreaq SFQ-1 to use with my HTC Thunderbolt, and I have no regrets. It connects via bluetooth and is therefore compatible with most modern electronic devices. Useful, so that other people can use it regardless of what brand of phone/computer/tablet they use, and also good to know that my future devices won't render it obsolete. It sounds amazing, to boot. If I'm listening to something for an extended period of time I'll just plug my phone into a separate charger and lay it next to the dock.
