After I bought my charge and my daughters LG revolution on the SAME day my daughters phone was updated that day to 2.2.3 (Gingerbread) while my phone is running an OS lower than I had on my Droid 1. Now this bothers me as the 2.2.2 updates some issues that were found in 2.2.1. What I dont understand is 2.2.2 has been OTA for a at least 5 months maybe more and I am confused? What has been frustrating is I used my Droid 1 for 2 years NEVER had major issues like dropped calls or the BT not connecting. I changed phones because the DROID 1 will no longer be getting updates which concerns me if issues were found in current OS that is has will not be updated.
I am also concerned with this phone ringer going silent, I have not changed any default settings meaning the ringers and notifications are all the same. I used this phone for work as well for personal and the other night I missed 3 important calls because the ring tone for calls was silent. Thinking that I may have turned down the volume to low I pushed the vol up button and low and behold the volume was maxed out. I checked the ring tone for the calls and found it was on "silent" I was shall we say upset.
I also now notice that I only have email running on this phone and nothing else, I dont have apps running like most people and my battery dies at the drop of a hat. For instance the other day after letting the battery completely die to the point the phone turned off. I hooked the phone up to the wall charger and let charge for about 8 hours. I fully expected the phone to stayed charged for at least that amount of time. I took off at 9 am and by 2:30 - 3 the phone was screaming at me to put on the charger. My Droid 1 would go a day and half with out needing a charge, day and half.
Here is something I found by accident. Let's say you are on the home page or elsewhere and you either purposely or accidentally press the down volume button (left side of phone) and it goes down to zero volume as in silent mode.
In the charge that resets the ringer volume to zero volume and puts checkmark in the SETTINGS>SOUND SETTINGS> SILENT MODE until you either go there and uncheck it OR again press the up volume button on the left side of the phone to raise the volume from zero.
My point is, just like I did, you may have done it yourself. I do hope that is the case because it's so easy to fix.
OTOH, it does make it easy to silence your phone if you're in a movie, Doctor's office or so forth.
