After updating to 2.1 it seems like it takes 10 sec or so for home/menu/back buttons to respond. Way way way to slow. It's like its still waiting for the screen to load or something.

Hard reset is NOT the answer, according to a Verizon tech I spoke to the other day Since the update, I was having the dead incoming/outgoing call issue, loss of touch tones/ring/notification sounds on my Droid Eris. The only solution was to power off my phone and turn it back on. Verizon sent me 2 replacement units, both of which experienced the same problems. My solution was to go into a Verizon store and get a new unit with 1.5 on it. Since then, I have had no problems, but now I have to wait until the supposed patch that the techs are working on to come out before I can update to 2.1
LAME!

Unfortunately no. I gave up because I couldn't figure it out. It's odd. I'm really good at most tech issues, but for some reason this one was too difficult. Sorry.

I am also having this problem after the update and I noticed that when this happens and I check the task
manager, that the Amazon MP3 store is running in the background. I tried to uninstall it using obviously the uninstaller and it tells me that it's a system built in app and can't be uninstalled or deleted. Even when I manually kill it with task killer, it eventually just turns itself back on. Don't know if this is part of the problem but, it does seem suspicious.

Same problem here. Very frustrating to have to power off and on when time is critical.
