So, I have been using the new 2.2 Droid OS and was all excited when it came out and my phone said update but shortly after it was a left down. I love the new Email/Gmail interface. The camera is awesome now, easy to change setting and the desk top with 5 screens and standard home and browser button is perfect. BUT
It seems like this new 2.2 OS runs at a slower 3G speed. I was able to do a comparison from a 2.1 phone to 2.2 and the 2.1 phone had an average download speed from Speedtest.net of 1000kbps and the 2.2 phone only had an average of 400kbps. These are average speeds sometimes they would be faster and sometimes slower. This would not concern me expect the fact I can tell when I stream Pandora Radio or Slacker Radio. Slacker cuts in and out when it buffers 4 or 5 times a song, very annoying and Pandora just sounds like is streaming a lower quality song so that it doesn't have to stop and buffer so I can no longer listen to loud music in my car on the road which is why I have this phone. If I wanted crappy service I would have kept my Iphone, but Verizon's service is Great and That's why I switched. I know the 2.2 is slower on the 3G besides the speedtest.net test because the 2.1 phone sounds fine with Pandora just like mine did before the update and when I used wifi and Pandora, It also sounds fine. So this update did something, and this something needs to be fix otherwise, I want my 2.1 back. The 3 improvements I use, Gmail, Camera and Homescreen are not worth the loss of 3G. I bought an Android phone for the freedom the phone offers and because it suppose to do anything. It use to do anything but now, not so much =(
If anyone know if this is on the side of Verizon, Google or Motorola please let me know. I would like to email my concerns to them. Or if anyone knows the people that should be emailed please left me know. Im guessing this is under the category of support, so I should be able to email Verizon Support, Google Support and Motorola Support?
Thanks for any help anyone can offer!!!
