Android "EYE" during Gingerbread Install - be Patient !!

[Cody21]

FYI, this issue popped up for the SOAK (test) group. We all saw it and kinda freaked some of us out.  (MOTO didn't give a "progress" bar during this step, unfortunately.)

During the Gingerbread update/install, there will be a point when the DROID EYE comes up and just sits there for a long time ... like as much as 4 or 5 mins.   Do NOT interrupt it!    Just be patient and let it be. It will/should finish.

Mine lasted for almost 15mins, so don't get worried if it takes that long.

Wow ... mine was totally downloaded & fully installed in 20 mins ...   the 'eye' only lasted about 4 mins.  This was OTA.

[crb79]

Mine may have taken so long as I have about 200 apps installed... lol

And yes I know, I play a risky game with those installed on updates.

[Cody21]

I have 308, including all the stock ones...

FYI .. now that more are installing & there's no sticky here.

The number of apps installed make this screen take longer because it rebuild the data cache after update to reflect the new installation, it can take a while sometimes..

@Wildman ... yea, I get that ...  just a warning, that's all.

I understand, I was just giving a description of why this happens for users or readers that dont know.

+1 - for the latest group.

[Cody21]

+1 for the new installers

The update went much faster and without a hitch on my phone. The only lingering issues are the browser force-closing and Folder Organizer folders losing their labels when the phone is powered Off and On.

I did not do a reset beforehand. That might clean up the browser issue.

I emailed the developer of FO more than once and he basically (by not replying) is telling me to do just that.......
