DROID X UPDATE Has Anyone Picked It Up Yet

[B33]

The Droid X Update is possibly out has any one Snagged it Yet!  if so throw a Post on Here An tell your Thoughts of it. B33..

[Kooshie]

Well my phone did a spontaneous reboot this evening:-(

[Cody21]

Do you mean while just on the screen?  or are you referring that it Powered itself back up AFTER powering it OFF?  This latter issue is still not resolved with this update. (The auto-power-up-after Power down.)

[Kooshie]

No I mean I'm in the middle of using the phone or it's just sitting idle and spontaneously does a reboot.  It's happened a few more times since then also.  I have never had the issue where the phone turns itself back on but then again I usually don't shut my phone down as it is my only phone.

[B33]

Kooshy.. I gonna throw in my suggestion agian of doing a F.R... Especially if that X has done as many reboots as you say it has done. My X has not done one yet! Knock on Wood since the Update. I know F.R.s can be a Bitch but if stops it!  An hopefully.. it does. Getter Done as ol Larry the cable Guy would say.. an good luck too ya!    B33

[bearone21]

mine hasn't done any reboots or have any other problems since 621.

[Cody21]

The only bug still remaining for me is that stupid (Intermittent) Power-back-up after a power OFF. It's happened twice so far, but definitely not as frequent as before.

[Kooshie]

I bever did have the power on issue, but then again I rarely turn my X off. A day & a half isn't really enough time to give a thumbs up on the update but it went smoothly and so far the onky issue is 1 duplicate text, so far so good 🙂

[B33]

No Duplicate Msg's on my X but my Razr Maxx still has that little snapping pop at the End of the Ringtone. If i could figure out what is causing that an fix it then i would be real happy with my Maxx.

[bearone21]

no duplicate texts or emails on mine.

[B33]

Same here Bear i sent 5 to 10 messages from my Maxx to my X an they pushed thru smooth an No duplicates. Koosh i wouldn't think you would have to do a F.R. but if the issue doesn't resolve itself that might be you next move.

[Kooshie]

Factory resets do not resolve this issue, all they do is waste time

[B33]

Well as aggravating as it must be.. receiving those text in that way hopefully there a fix coming to solve it..

[Cody21]

I don't do a whole lot of Texting so really can't say if this is an issue or not for me -- at last the few Texts I *do* send/receive never duplicate. There have been suggestions in other threads that duplicate Texts can be caused by a "poor 3G connection". the point being that when a TEXT msg gets sent or received and the final "hand off" of the msg being sent/received is not complete, the msg gets resent.  So not sure if that may be the issue. Something you could try if this is reproducible is that when it happens, runs a test of the 3G data connection - just to see how strong a signal you have. One of the free APPS that can do that is "Speed Test".  Just a thought.

PS - when you go to MY VERIZON online, check your Text history. Does Verizon show that you are sending/receiving multiple Tmessages? or does it just show 1 for the several you are seeing on the phone? Because if it is Verizon actually sending them, I would contact them -- some people have reportedly done that and Verizon did something are THEIR end to resolve the issue.  (Do a SEARCH up above for some of those threads on "duplicate text messages").

[B33]

Glad you thought of that  Cody  an the phone that is sending out the Text could be having a issue an pushing out duplicates..it may be the one that needs a fix.

[droidsw]

Cody, my multiple texts have come in while I'm on wifi. I don't text much either and I knew even a bunch of multiples wouldn't push me past my limit, so I never checked My Verizon, but that is a good idea (next time).

I know one person was using a BB on AT&T, so it wasn't a Verizon-to-Verizon texting situation. They sent a short text and I continued to receive it for hours.

Not sure about the other recent multiple text event.

No multiple texts since the update last week. And, I never turn off my phone, so no feedback on the power-back-up issue.

Yes, I will say it. NO issues at all on my phone from the update last week. The horse is already out of the barn, but at least this time, it was an uneventful update.

I have two issues that i have realized since receiving the update.  The first issisue involves the screen.  it will not automatically dim.  Settings are correct.  Second issue is that while taking pictures the camera now freezes the captured image for about one minute preventing me from taking another picture.  It is a Droid X.   Any advice?

[B33]

Do this Power off your Phone wait a few seconds then hold down the power an Home button once it goes to the little Android an Triangle push your volume Button in it will take you to the Next screen Were it  Will have the Option to Reboot the System, Apply update from SD Card,  Wipe Data / Factory Reset,  An Wipe Cache Partition.  Do the one were it says Wipe the Cache Partition. To do it Hold in on the Power Button it will show you it's doing it once done it will go to Reboot System Tap the power button Again it will Reboot an re-power up An the Cache will be Clean. Try this to see if it Fixes the Issue.

[Kooshie]

Go to manage apps and show all then clear the cache for the camera. It should resolve your issue if clearing the whole cache doesn't.

Just recieved my update. Will I love it or will I hate it? I'll know in a few days. Maybe less.

[bearone21]

it'll be a good sign if after the install, you get to your homescreen & everything works.

if you're looking for it to fix issues with gb or before, good luck.

[mortb]

So far, so good. Shut it off last night, and it staid off. No glitches...yet!
