Ever since the update my phone freezes, locks, and nothing works. What can I do to a) fix it b) go back to the previous system 3) chuck my phone out the darn window.
do a search on gb issues from way back in july when gb came ota.
no
go for it.
fwiw:
gb's been out for almost 4 months & updated twice with 602 & 605, so how are you just now getting the the gb update?.
did you get the dx 2nd hand, verizon's been out of them for a while, even cpo's aren't listed anymore?
I've had my Droid X isn't it first came out. I just got the "hey, we are updatting your phone, blah, blah" message today and it now is locking and freezing like crazy. The only "fix" that works is taking the SD card out. Who the heck wants to do that...that's where all my music is?
could be a bad card.
has the phone been off for several months, as the update came out in waves to varius parts of us months ago & if you're talking/texting it's hard to believe it's just showing up now?

If removing the card resolves your issues then have you tried backing up and wipe card, there may be some data on the card from old installation that cause you issues..

Could be possible also..
yeah i guess, this stuff is magic.
wiping would be good if apps were on the card.
I also got notification just yesterday (10.3) of an auto update and now my droid will not power on completely. I got a notification alert, but could not get the homescreen to come up. I took out the battery repeatedly and rebooted, but only got to the graphics screen. I have quite a few apps on it, and it's worked fine till now (since May), none of my info is backed up so I'm hesitant to factory reset.
what do you mean "only gets to the graphic screen" ?? Does it get past the RED EYE or is it there that it is hanging? Does it boot into SAFE MODE?
- Power Off
- Press and hold the MENU button (far left button)
- Continue holding that and power up phone, continue holding Menu
After about 1-2 mins. the phoen should come up saying "SAFE MODE" in lower left corner.
If it DOES, try powering off and on as usual and see if it still hangs ... if it does, you may have a 3rd party app causing the problem. Time to boot back into SAFE MODE and uninstall apps -- or just bite the bullet and do a Factory Reset. (read the other thread about how to best do this though!)
