I haven't seen anyone else post this if its redundant my apologies and I will delete the thread. One of the coolest features about the Droid X I have not seen on any other Android phone is the bubble that comes up and lets you navigate through text. I spoke to several other Droid owners and they didn't even know about. Here is a pic http://bit.ly/ctnvLS thoughts??? I want to get the Droid X forum more active and even though we arent flashing roms yet we can sure root and customize our devices. Would love to hear feedback good or bad.

This is the single greatest thing ever
Not sure if that is an inherent part of Motoblur or the new multi-touch keyboard, but it's a godsend!
It's a shameless ripoff of the iPhone text navigation system, but it's so brilliant I can forgive them.
Yeah the DX is the only android phone that can do this, along with the red bubble marker.

This is pretty cool. But, i just came from a droid incredible and it does this with a bit more flair. Once you get the bubble you can do things like copy and paste. Or, select the text you're navigating.

It works with the Swype keyboard as well
this is my first android, but i figured all androids did this. my storm 1 had a similar feature
how do you get it to pop up?
If I hold my finger over the text it brings up a pop up menu with edit characteristics

Iphone has done that since 2007. Wondering why only one Android phone can do it. My Captivate cant and I severly miss that feature from my old iphone 2G. Makes navigating text sooooo easy.

Yea I totally agree with you.
Another good keyboard is SwiftKey X. Their predictions and auto correct has gotten really good. I mean good to the point where I don't really look at what letters I'm typing and everything still comes out great. I am also disabled, i can only use one hand, so SwiftKey keyboard X really and i mean really helps me out. Before that typing was a chore, or at least it felt like it. Now it's just great.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
I've read few people talk about SwiftKey X.
I might have to give that a try, because I'm about tired of Swype, really. Words I've added to the dictionary still don't come up first, and I just get tired of for being fire, poor being pot, etc.....
Friggin' annoying
i applied for the touchpal beta like 2 days ago, and ive already heard back. supposedly its got FANTASTIC blind type style correction, AND phenomenal swyping. about to install right now!
Has the droid x messasing app been ported? i REALLY like it, android stock messasing app is weak, heres a pic:

Anyone try this on their non root droid yet? I will in a bit
Doesn't work, since he probably didn't do any type of editing to MAKE it work with the Droid 1..just tried it. I get nothing but force closes. Every 2 seconds. In fact, it force closes so much, I can't USE any other aspect of my phone, as it stays right in my face. So now I have to restore from a backup.
Good job.
damn, sounds like my htc ime keyboard when i got froyo, i was finnaly able to get into settings and kill it tho
I told you that's a stock mms app

Is there a way to add Verizon to my task bar on the incredible. I would love to mock the status bar like the iphone but don't know if it can be done.

Most people don't like the iPhone because of the closed system it has, not because of how it looks.
sometimes I wish there was a dislike button on some posts here or a rep down.
Removed post because of peckerheads.
So you bought a different phone because of some rumors one guy was spreading on the internet? Um, cool. Have fun with your Widgets, oh yeah you don't have any..

Why do you feel the need to post this here? Don't mean to come off as an a-hole, but no one cares if you've changed to the iphone, so you gave up a locked down phone for an even more locked down phone that isn't nearly as customizable or fun to use, over some rumors. Im kinda glad you've changed phones now that I think of it.

So I assume this has something to do with P3Droids comments on Verizon "tracking" rooted phones right? (dude deleted the original post)
If your going to read into things like these, you have to keep up with them. If this guy would have, he would have known that Verizon currently can't actually see that your phone is rooted.
They HAVE implemented a way to see if your tethering in the new GB release. I think this is 100% acceptable for them to do. Period.
As for getting an iPhone. I'm not going to sit here and bash the phone. I may not like it as much as I do an Android phone, but everyone must admit the iPhone has some pros, like battery life. Everyone I know who has one has amazing battery life. This goes for Apple computers as well. Apple has it right with batteries.
Anywho, just thought I'd put my two cents in.
I guess the OP wants a phone that can't multitask and doesn't even have wallpaper. Good for him.

Err...You can change the wallpaper on an iPhone. Especially with iOs 4.0, which is what any iPhone out there is probably on nowadays.

if no led how you know you got notifications?
too hard for an answer?
Seriously?
are you serious?
with sound? by looking at your display?
why should I look at my display? To look every 10 minutes if I got an email....?
Sound yes, visual?
Its it possible to have a small notification on the screen?
Its on your status bar.........

Is this your first tablet? Most of them do not have led's. some phones don't even have them. Skyrocket in particular. There is an app you can download that will give you this function, but i forgot the name of it. Maybe you should return it and get a fruit product.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
There are apps that will flash your screen for various notifications. Try Missed Message Flasher.
Tablets are not designed to be your main interaction tool for notifications, that is your mobile phone. The tablet is really only there to do things when your actually using it
You could try the app NoLED https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.led.notify
It flashes up dots or custom icons on the screen when you get various types of notifications. It will also suck your battery a bit though.

It was meant if you want something simple and designed for a child,apple should be your choice. I'm tired of people complaining about the tiniest of details. Yes this tablet is small, but I'm not carrying it around as a phone. If i see my phones led light up and my tablet is closer I'll pick it up and check. I'm an avid Android fan, and apple irritates me. People have to realize this is a tablet, and not a phone. You can get it to act that way, but tweaking is involved. Android is for adults, and people with individuality. Apple is for confused close minded people. Sorry if my comment bothered you. I probably should have explained myself better lol
