I’ve never really used Caps Lock or Num Lock feature on my Motorola Droid because I never learned how. After owning the phone for 4 months, you’d think I would’ve learned how to enable it by now. I’ve accidentally stumbled on it a few times, so I was curious as to how it’s done. I was blown away when I learned how simple it was.
When you’re done typing in all caps or numbers, simply press the key once again and the feature is disabled.
That’s all there is to enabling Caps Lock or Num Lock! Now I can shout at people on Twitter or annoy people who dislike emails written in all caps. You can also use this tip with any other Android phone such as the Droid Eris, G1 or Nexus One. Of course the portion about the physical keyboard won’t work on phones without a physical keyboard. Duh!
You have a contact listed in your contacts on your Motorola Droid or Droid Eris. Now you’re trying to send a text message to the contact from the Messaging app, but when you start typing the person’s name, it doesn’t appear like it is supposed to.

1. Open the Contacts app.
2. Tap and hold the contact you wish to edit.
3. Tap Edit contact.
4. Tap the button next to the phone number. It will probably say Home.
5. Tap Mobile.
If the contact was imported from Facebook, the Contact will likely not be editable. You may have to create a new Contact for the person to get this feature to work.

2. Look for a device listed as Apple iPod USB Driver or Apple iPod USB Device. Right-click on it and select Properties.
3. Click the Update Driver… option under the Driver tab.
“My iPod Touch won’t turn on.” is something I hear often. I had this problem recently when I lost it in between the wall and my bed. When I finally recovered it, it refused to turn on. Of course I made sure it had power. I plugged it into my computer for an hour. Still, the thing would not turn on at all. Nothing appeared on the screen, and it didn’t make a sound.
Even though the unit appeared dead, I tried to reset it by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button and Home button simultaneously for about 10 seconds. Success! The iPod Touch was working again. The win was short lived though, as my girl took it and put her music on it. I probably will never see it again until the next time it won’t turn on.
