Its opening every other app on my phone and I uninstalled some apps but it won’t open still open and I did a virus scan on my phone but messaging won’t still open. Any suggestions?
Three questions I have for you: When did you get your phone? How long has this been going on? Have you ever been able to open text messaging? Sounds like a software issue that you need to discuss with Motorola.

http://rootyourdroid.info/guides/full-system-backup-using-nandroid/
Step 1
Download DroidRootHelper and Terminal Emulator (Jack Pelvich) Both can be found FREE in the market.
Step 2
Open DroidRootHelper, Click menu and download the TOOLS – Click on GET THE TOOLS
Step 3
After downloadin the TOOLS from DroidRootHelper, you must extract them (becuase its a zip file) to the root of the sd card. Keep the folder named TOOLS.
Step 4
Mount Mtdblock4
Install chmod Busybox
Install chmod flash_image
Flash Recovery 99.1b
Rename Recovery
Unmount System mtdblock 4
Sync
Reboot Recovery
Step 5
In recovery mode create a back up file using advanced nandroid back up, Check all boxes then click perform backup, once done use power button to cycle back out, and reboot.
Step 6
Update recovery to latest version- Copy Recovery-0.99.2b.img file to the ROOT of your SD card, you must be mounted via USB to do so. Now you can use Terminal Emulator to input the commands shown on my monitor, this will update you to the 99.2b.
Step 7
Rename the backup file you just created, mount your phone via USB, locate your backup inside the folder called Nandroid, click on the folder that says BSD-0009879- etc… right click and rename the folder to what you are comfortable with, copy that folder to your desktop or location that you want to save it to on your computer.
Step 8
Open up terminal emulator and type in commands EXACTLY like I am showing… Then reboot recovery and your done =D

You’ve seen Verizon’s commercials attacking a certain smartphone from a fruit company. Now, check out CNET’s First Look video of the motorola droid to see if it lives up to its claims.

I have the droid and I see pictures of other ones and the clocks and sometimes the unlock buttons are way different then mine. I think I would like them more than the ones I have now, but when I go and look to try and change them, there’s nothing about it to change.
Thanks!
You have to download certain apps that come from the market such as lock 2.0 and beautiful widgets.
Hello YouTube!
Okay first off, Thank you again for all your great comments and thank you all for subscribing to my videos, this one took a bit longer to get out because of the lack of “decent” games on the market right now. I briefly went over the reason why there isn’t too many “cool” games on the Android platform yet, but hey if you want mobile gaming, go get a PSP or something. These are the games that I have been using the past few weeks, Hopefully you enjoy them as much as I do:
What the Doodle
Totemo Lite
Abduction
Frozen Bubble
Action Potato
Most of these games are very simplistic, but very entertaining and fun. Again please bear with me as I am just an amateur reviewer and don’t really have great equipment to use to make these reviews, so go easy on me =D
PS- Stay tuned for the next GAME or APPLICATION review coming soon, also be on the lookout for my next video, Tips and Tricks for the motorola droid.
Cheers

What makes it different from other phones.
I might want the Motorola Cliq
Android is a operating system much like Windows is for your PC. What makes it special is that it is an "open source" OS. This means anyone can write apps for it or configure it for any hardware. That’s why there are so many manufacturers that are hopping on board and creating devices that run the Android OS.
I have owned a IPhone for a couple months and then decided to buy a motorola droid. I noticed that the games on the droid are nowhere near as good graphics wise. Why is this when the droid is a better phone in a graphics point?
I do not want any sarcastic "because apple products are the best", I am asking from a hardware perspective. Please keep your favoritism comments to yourself.
The developers aren’t taking the time and care they need to and that Apple demands. Right now, Android just wants volume – any apps are better than no apps.
Hello YouTube!
Guys just a quick THANK YOU to all of you who have watched and commented on my video, it was great to get some good feedback from you guys, Thanks again =)
Okay so here is my second installation of Android Applications that I am reviewing, here’s the list and proper spelling of each Application, these can all be download free via Android Market:
Ultimate Faves
Mobile Defense
Mobile Buzz
Trippo (translator)
I know that is not much but its hard to do a decent review in only 10 minutes with multiple applications, please comment and ask any questions about these or any apps in the android market. I encourage to post or comment the ones you like also. Please stay tuned for an upcoming review dedicated to Android Games via Android Market. Thanks again guys!
