Droid is really one of the best, but this changelog looks a bit weird, at least for me.

The update has been a huge mess for me; i am now on my third replacement DX since downloading GB on 06.05. i have spent hours on the phone with Moto & VZ level II techs, and they are trying to catch up with the changes themselves. They would work with a DX, going through the steps with me to try to work out glitches, and their devices were bugging out, too.

i have almost finished dialing in what i hope is my third and final DX replacement, and i have determined that Gingerbread crumbles as a replacement for the rock steady Froyo. My essential Andro Market apps such as MultiScreen Wallpaper and Missed Reminder that worked flawlessly before the “upgrade,” are lagging, freezing, or not working at all. The conflicts are many and complicated, and who knows if and when app developers will get around to trying to resolve the issues, especially when Gingerbread is inherently unstable in this particular device.

The Froyo to Gingerbread changeover is comparable to Microsoft’s Vista changeover from the well-respected XP OS. And we all know how that story ended.

I did the new update and my phone starts up normally but once the screen turns off it won’t turn back on nor will it receive calls/texts/etc. How do I revert it back?

Is it just my phone or did they do away with the headphones plugged in for FM radio, says app no longer available. Still showing under applications, but as being 0bytes. Bummer… I liked using it..

This works for an unrooted phone btw unlike most other apps. And no I’m not affiliated with them, it just works and I’m happy to finally be able to get screenshots of my Droid X screens.

The only way I’ve found to be able to get screenshots is by using the MyPhoneExplorer app, but it’s for Windows, don’t know if it works on Apples OS for desktop. It’s basically like a Microsoft Outlook but with the ability to create screenshots when the Droid X is connected to the PC. Works very well. Could never get the that convoluted Java way to get screenshots to work.

Anyone know if the earlier links to unrooted GB still work? Any suggestions as to the best one? Droid X on stock froyo here. Not sure I want to go the way of the ota if will not be able to root in the future. Still playing with the idea of rooting, so don’t want to lose the possibility. But also don’t like hearing that rooted users may not be able to access things in the future, like Google movjes, etc. Input anyone?

Verizon is terrible they will never have vanil la android hence no nexus devices. When consumers learn more about android and the crap motor and vzw put on their phones, ie makes it slow and jittery either Czech will have to change or the real android community will leave vzw. Yeah their network is good but true android enthuist will leave vzw. They products are outdated, lye won’t work with dual core or blur or TW or vzw bloatware. Thyself why there is no bionic and won’t ever be. Vzw is in there own world

If I remember correctly Moto did something very similar when they were releasing Froyo. The soak testers got the upload and like a day later everybody got it. The soak testers all reported a few issues including text message problems, Active sync problems, music player peoblems, etc. Moto was supposed to release a patch to fix these issues, some issues got fixed, some got bandaids like Moto offering free TouchDown licenses to users who needed activesync. I really dont understand the thinking behind many of Motos decisions.
