That is a false statement anyway, the iphone does format the device when it does its update and then sync all apps and data back to device after updates completes...   So the false concept that iPhone doesnt need to be formatted for a update is so false...

Wildman, these Iphone lovers are saying Android is horrid.  We must at once throw our perfectly functioning devices into the street and run out and buy an Iphone because they are having problems!  And we were called Android fan-boys!  Which I find quite offensive as I haven't been a "boy" in many moons.

You can call a grown man many names, but if you want to guarantee a fight, call him a boy....

I suspect these are the same kids who go around bragging that their parent has a Chevy so all Fords are crap....

Yeah it can get funny at times....  I own a iPhone, 3 Android, Windows 6.5 and a WIndows 7 device and I can openly say that I perfer the android devices myself..

To be fair, this is not the first complaint or the first site I've read that states someone is having issues with the update. I always wait for feedback before updating or buying a new device. My X is ready to take the update but I don't want it yet.

[Wildman]

I agree but I have ran the update without issues for a bit and I havent notice and major issues... 

But the one thing I notice is once one user report a issue there is always cases that others now want reports the same thing as a issue when it wasnt concidered a issue before...  Some of the items pointed out as issues is design not bugs but just becuse its not the way they think it should be it is reported at a bug and the demanding a fix situatution happens..  Thats all I am saying.

I am in no way saying anything is perfect but this is a on going patteren with every device or update that gets released...

Man, I am on the fence with this one.

For everyone that ASKED and ASKED and COULDN'T WAIT and STAYED UP ALL NIGHT WAITING for the update......was it worth it? The endless threads, posts, questions, suppositions, theories, etc., were a beat down.

NOW, you want to throw the update out the window?  Again, wildman called it. He said this would happen.

The update is nice. Doesn't make me amorous and breath hard. It has some nice updates. It ISN'T going radically change anything.

I didn't do a Reset and my phone works fine. If you didn't and have problems, sorry. A Reset should help. App developers catching up and updating their apps will help, too.

For the Kool-Aid drinkers..........EVEN your golden ipod you call a cell phone recommends you do a factory reset before an update.

Mine works perfectly...been using it almost nonstop for the past 8 hours and haven't found one problem using most of the features and apps. I did do a factory reset before and then after the update I cleared the cache and factory reset. The phone is more enjoyable, love the new UI...it's like a new phone. I was getting bored before with stock froyo, tho I had no issues with that either. Just {word filter avoidance} verizon reception where I live and surrounding spots. Yay Gingerbread!

Wildman definitely call it. It did not take even half a day. The Motorola X forum has an annoucement that tells it could be a full day before everything syncs so be patient.

I have been running for almpost a full day and it is running fine.

The update totally killed my phone.  The phone never fully boots up.  It freezes about a minute after first displaying, partially, the home screen.  If I then touch anything, it goes blank, except for the Notification Bar, which is just frozen.  I've done numerous battery pulls, to no avail.  I can't even do a reset.  (Note: I had never modified or rooted my phone. And, I wasn't running any obscure programs.)

I went to my local Verizon store last Sunday, and they couldn't fix or reset the phone, either.  A refurbished phone is supposed on its way, but I haven't received it yet.

This is the last time I'll ever be part of a trial group.

frankly sir i do not believe you completely if the update killed your phone for the test group why wait all weekend to go i also had issues with my phone not gb and recieved everything tuesday to replace it.....why are we seeing so many newbies in here come every update? i call **bleep** im tired of seeing posters with 1 or 2 posts saying how long they have had the phones where have you been the forums havent moved why show up to cry ? im sick of it you pop up drop a few negative posts and dissapear....we try to help each other here and work things out what does total negativity do???? sometimes software and devices fail just because the playstation network got hacked i didnt go on and on about the piece of junk no i know ive owned something great for a while and a bump in the road is all it was if this update killed your phones or ruined something get it replaced its easy to do and not hard to put the apps back on your phone.

Man hope that last ranting wasn't towards Jeffery-Rabin maybe he's never had a problem doesn't mean we should crucify him.
Oh I updated 3 X phones without a problem love it so far.I've also had IPhones that I never had problems with.Crap happens there is 360 million people in the USA. •¿•
