Okay, background info... I have the Droid2, came with the 2.2.xxx software. Got everything setup and synced up (GMail, Yahoo!Mail, MySpace, Facebook) with no issues. Then a month later the upgrade was released, pushed to my phone, and installed.
The last couple days I've been having a couple recurring issues, and I was wondering if anyone had any insight as to if these are related to the upgrade or something else. My GMail still works properly. MySpace randomly tells me that I have an insane amount of new messages (80+), I go to check and there are no new messages at all. Facebook via the app and account sync will notify me of correct updates. However, the app itself will time-out when loading, and the updates displayed on the Social Networking widget will stop working. The widget will show the first(newest) update, I will open it and read/flip through all the updates then close the window. That first update will still be displayed and the widget will not reopen. Even after removing and reinstalling the widget it will still take forever to load. Also, Yahoo!Mail will not work at all. I get a recurring "connection error" and none of the email related posts on here have helped to this point. I even went so far as to download the actual Yahoo!Mail app and even that won't load my inbox. I even went as far as removing the Yahoo! account and re-adding it multiple times, but the issue still returns within hours.
One planned fix, I will be completely removing MySpace since I hardly use it anymore (who does anyways? LOL). However, there is still the issues with Yahoo! (my main email) and the Social Network widget. Anyone have any ideas?
Since 2.3 upgrade, I have had even more problems with Droid2. I currently have a replacement that needs texts and call log transferred, but everything since the update has wrong timestamps.
My contact pics don't update unless I uninstall and reinstall the facebook account, text's don't always send. When I take a picture, and want to send it somewhere right after I take it, when I click on the pic it comes up blank until I reboot the phone. The '&' symbol still backspaces itself to the end of the last word when using the hardware keyboard and I'm finding that I need to reset it daily now. Otherwise it works pretty well. The camera seems to be improved. Anyone else have issues since the download?
You will need to perform a hard reset. The steps to perform this reset are listed below:
1. Hold Home Button and press power (continue to hold until you see the triangle with an asterisk like in step 2)
2. Screen will show a Android with a triangle with asterisk
3. Let Go of Home Button and Power
4. Press Search Button (Far Right Button)
5. A blue menu will show at top of page, scroll to Format Device
6. Select Yes to verify
7. Allow format to complete (Information at bottom of page will go through a few steps)
8. Once Format is complete Blue Menu will show at top again, select Reboot
9. Sometimes phone hangs after reboot and will take a while but if no response after 5 - 10 minutes, pull the battery and reinsert. (Device usually starts fine after this)
my phone contacts (people without email) used to be listed under phone contacts and not with the myspace and facebook contacts. when i go to phone contacts all my contacts are listed there thats suppose to be so in all contacts not phone contacts to.
