To do's before and after upgrade

On another post, I noted that I cleared my home screens prior to upgrading as was suggested on a droid life site.  The upgrade notification will be obvious and you get to choose between install now, or wait, or get more information.  I just held off the install and deleted all my icons.  Then went to settings, about phone, and system updates, and ran the update.  It took about 2 minutes to download and a few to reboot.  After that I reset my home screens which you will want to do anyway since you will have 5 of them.  I had to reset my ring tones which was fine as they were due for a change.  If you use swype beta you will need to unintall it and its installer and get a new installer emailed to you from swype.com.  That was about it.  Then just spending time figuring things out.

Huh??? I didn't have to do all that when I got the update. I woke up, picked up my phone to check the time and saw the update on there. I pressed install now and the phone did the rest.

There have been a number of people that are having power issues after the update.  It is speculated by more than one source that clearing the homescreens may help.  I don't know.  I just did it.

I see where in the other thread you have a link posted in there. That link is for manually doing the update.

 

I haven't had any problems with the update and I didn't do all that stuff that you said you did. So IDK.

Please stop reposting this...you DO NOT have to delete your screens. You have put this in around 5 post.

Bugs are inevitable, and deleting your icons will just cause you to waste time.
