We’ve featured one way to overclock your Android phone, but if you’re the lucky owner of a newer Motorola device, you can take all the effort out of overclocking with DX/D2 Overclocker.
Seriously, that’s got to hurt. Two forum-posters calling themselves Team DeFuse are claiming they successfully managed to overclock both the Droid 2 and Droid X, taking them from a decent 1GHz to spectacular 2GHz. We’d be concerned for their safety if we hadn’t seen they survived the task at least long enough to upload video proof of it. [Droid-Life via BGR]
If you held off updating to the leaked Froyo update for the Droid X last month, reward yourself by delving into the “check for updates” part of your phone’s “settings”, and check out Flash Player 10.1. [Thanks AH Bradford!]
This bizarre commercial just started popping up, and frankly, we’re almost too confused to be offended. There’s no mistaking Verizon’s strange spokesman for the iconic Abu Ghraib torture victim. Is this a case of horrible taste or immense cluelessness?
Hey, Droid X owners! Verizon’s over-the-air Froyo update for the Motorola Droid X, scheduled to arrive in coming weeks, has leaked and is available for both rooted and non-rooted phones. As always, be careful. You can find details on the Droid X upgrade over at the My Droid World forums. [My Droid World via Engadget]
Motorola’s officially not pulling any punches, with a full-page Droid X ad in the New York Times today making it clear that their phone don’t need no stinking bumper. If their last ad was a jab, this one’s a full-on haymaker.
According to Verizon business development executive director Jennifer Byrne, the Droid X is “seeing something like five times the data usage of any other device”. We guess having that big honking screen encourages people to surf the web, watch high-quality YouTube videos and download apps galore.
Yesterday Verizon acknowledged that a small number of Droid X devices are affected by screen issues, but today we’re reading a lot of user reports about units suffering from Wi-Fi connectivity issues.
