DROIDX2 Gingerbread Update Appears to Be Ready, Newest Version of Blur Included

by: Kellex | posted 07.26.11 | Breaking, News

The soak test for the DROIDX2 and its Gingerbread (Android 2.3) update started at the end of last week, so seeing the official documents for it on Verizon’s site today should mean that it passed. It’s also looking like the DX2 will receive the same version of Blur that can be found on the DROID3. This would be the newest version that comes with fancy 3D animations and additional tweaks to make it much more appealing to even Android addicts like myself. You can click on both the image up top and the one below to see the full changelog. It’s definitely packing in a ton of bug fixes along with those UI enhancements.

*Note – I just checked my DX2 for an update and nothing was there. Could be a day or two away still.

And the old Blur changing into the new Blur (check out the icon set):

The soak test hasn’t started yet. They just sent out another survey to MFN owners saying it was starting very quickly.

Just received a survey for soak test as well…so no test yet

I needed to draft you one little bit of word so as to say thank you once again for all the splendid ideas you have discussed here. This is unbelievably generous with you to present publicly precisely what numerous people could possibly have offered for sale as an e book to end up making some bucks for themselves, particularly given that you could have tried it in the event you considered necessary. Those basics likewise acted to be the fantastic way to understand that the rest have similar zeal the same as my personal own to find out good deal more with regards to this condition. I am sure there are many more fun periods in the future for individuals that browse through your website.

I had to endure the hypbeastin’ for GB on the DX, and then my DX broke a week after I updated it. Luckily, or so I thought, assurion replaced it with a DX2, and I was back in the vicious hypebeast cycle. I just want to get out.

Is it safe to assume us DX1 owners won’t be Getting to new blur??? I really like it.
Anonymous

Considering how badly Moto and VZW messed up the DX with GB, I would strongly suggest everyone check the androidcentral forums. GB on the DX is a nightmare for about 50% of users. Avoid for a few weeks until forums reports are out.
RaptorOO7

Well maybe now there will be some real heat to find a way to root the D3 and the DX2. Common OS, common exploits need to be bound

Does not yet appear to be ready to download. I just checked with my DX2, and it says No Updates Available.

Mr. M

The problem i see with this is that the soak test has actually yet to go out. Email from from 3 days ago still had no eta on when moto was going to start the test.
digsoreos

The soak test started? The blogs only reported that it was about to start. Haven’t heard any mention of it being underway. If so, kudos to those participating who kept their silence.

If this doesn’t fix the music lag/skipping issues along with the lag and redraw of apps and widgets…..I’m gonna be very disappointed….

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000372600312 Joseph Pojunis

I hate when the music skips! Especially because I listen to music constantly…

Nkmett15

Me too!!! Especially considering my phone is always used as my main music player…

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000372600312 Joseph Pojunis

Same.

http://twitter.com/bokajay Jason Epstein

music skip has to do with the amount of system apps in memory. Hopefully GB will handle the bloat better then 2.2 did with this phone. With stock 2.2 rooted and bloat removed I haven’t experienced the music skip anymore.

Anonymous

Wait, it skips? Maybe they just wanted it to be a more realistic experience like when a cd would skip in your car.

Bretton J Key

Has anyone read what the update is supposed to fix?
like really, all the problems I been having with this phone is known and VZW acts like everything is kosher.
If this updated don’t hack it. I hope VZW will let people trade their phone for device that properly uses its’ hardware.
Me

fyi- not aware of the soak starting yet so don’t hold your breath on these pdfs, Verizon is known to jump the gun on these.

Whoa whoa whoa why is everyone complaining about the DX’s update? What was wrong with it?

Anonymous

Check the forums at androidcentral for details.
- random reboots about 1/day
- complete loss of 3G and phone capability including 911 about 1/day with no notice. Requires reboot to use the phone.
This and other issues affect about 1/2 the DX users. I went through 2 DX’s with the same problem – finally replaced with a DX2. Running exact same apps on DX2 and Froyo there is not problem.

http://www.cmiper.com cmiper

As stated above, it’s a major issue with 3G and Phone service dropping when you leave a Wifi connection, the system doesn’t switch back to 3G, even though everything appears to be fine until you try to place a call…then you get a “Call Ended 00:00″ message…it won’t connect. There’s no way to recover from the issue without rebooting the phone, it’s a hassle and a half. See here for 14 pages of complaints on the issue… https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/52111?start=0&tstart=0

What rock did you crawl out of?
A very frustrated DX ownde

Take a long look at some of the Owner’s Forums (DX ones) on the Moto website. It is both shocking and a shame that Moto would do this to us for the last 9 weeks. It appears that they just don’t care! Problems galore, and no fix in sight.

will i be able to update if I am rooted? Or do I have to revert back to normal?

Drayton Moody

Definitely revert back to normal. You don’t want to brick your phone.

Silksmooth12

I figure out that turning off ALL animations on the D3 makes is run a little snappier. And seems to alleviate the camera app going back to the homescreen lag/redraw. Not completely cure it though. The only thing that sucks is that you lose the cool CRT screen off animation.

Nkmett15

Noticed the same thing myself with my X2. Luckily, at this time, I don’t have the cool lock screen effect, so it’s a win-win for me!!!!!

I’m guessing the benchmarks should shoot up pretty nicely!! Highest quadrant so far for me was 2985.

Drnick124

Is that rooted? Unrooted Ive never got past 2500

Drnick124

Hmm, wonder how the benchmarks will look after this update.

How about fix the X’s GB bugs first!

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=716789798 Lonnie Kerchief

Hopefully you guys just get this version and they bailed on the original DX GB version. It’s completely different, so giving you this version will probably fix most of those bugs.

Droid Does 4g

How long till we are able to pull the update manually??
BJ P.

want this update on dx!!
Anonymous

Anything to keep their mind off of the Bionic, huh?
Abc

Lets hope it is not a hacked up job like the GB for the DX.

Stephen D

Hopefully it’s the new Blur on the Droid 3. Fast and smooth, optimized, and nicer looking.
Anonymous

Seriously, why don’t they work on patching that thing up. It’s been way too long since they released it to not have a patch out yet.

UpYoursHTC

HTC your hear this ??? My TBolt is still not running GB !

daniel walsh

htc is failing this. how hard can it be?
Abc

Dont be so excited about it . Moto pushed the GB update to the DX a couple months ago and ruined a lot of devices.

Arthur2142

I’m so disappointed with my DX now…Moto’s problems is what has me seriously considering a GS2, even if it doesn’t have LTE!

I didnt know this. Mine has been working fine.

I hope this update is better for you DX2 users then the DX1.

It’s looking like the new version, so unfortunately it probably will be.

Where is our X1 update to fix this GB crap?

http://www.cmiper.com cmiper

The DX GB update has been broken for almost 2 months now…where’s the fix? I was hoping to stick with Moto on my next phone, but I really, really think they are dropping the ball with the DX…I likely will jump ship over this.

I really am not just complaining to be a complainer…I have had two important instances, one an emergency, and was unable to use my DX without rebooting it first. I think it’s enough to warrant my frustration.

Anonymous

I had the same problem on 2 DXs. The worst part is when you are on the road and think your family can call you and you can make calls but cannot – no matter how strong the signal. I will avoid this update for a few weeks until its tested.
http://www.cmiper.com cmiper

Yep, there’s not indication that your phone won’t work until you try to place a call. It’s a major issue that I’d think Motorola would take more seriously.

My scenario was two weeks ago, my office was on shutdown and limited staff. A severe storm blew through and we either were struck or close-to-struck by lightning, our fire-alarms (which are tied directly to the FD) went off, and our phone system reset due to the strike. Myself, being the only technical person on site tried to get hold of the FD to read the panels off to them, but couldn’t place the call due to the Wifi/3G drop bug…I seriously screamed at the thing and did a battery pull, then grabbed someone else’s phone off their desk and used it instead (sadly it was an i*hone4).

The more I think about the issue, the more frustrated I get with this…and I really have no problem ditching Moto over something like this.
http://steamcommunity.com/id/cypherx82 cypherx82

Dude, get away. Get far away. Motorola’s been going downhill since the OG Droid.

I left for HTC and haven’t been happier.
Custom Colonel

LOL! You left for HTC and couldn;’t be happier?? seriously? Oh I know, because you can fix their crappy phones yourself right? No need to expect customer service when the customer is expected to provide the service, and they’re ok with that. Man, HTC has you lemmings wrapped around their little fingers.
http://twitter.com/chqueed charles rogers

I don’t know, those of us that read can see that he hasn’t been happier with HTC.

Excuse me for asking, but I gave my Droid X to my dad. Anyways, the GB update seems okay when I’m using the Droid X. What’s so broken about the update? I’m curious.

Lmrojas

I wonder if their will be a rooted version put out now that they have Clockwork recovery, like the DX.
daniel walsh

at least the update was quick

Sigh, still waiting for the HTC Thunderbolt Gingerbread update

Maybe they’re gonna pull a Samsung and be good all of a sudden.

Anonymous

Samsung is good overseas it is the carriers in the US that slow down the updates. The original gs1 has had gb for months yet none of the us variants officially have it yet.
