odd behavior after 2.2 upgrade

Completed the 2.2 upgrade today, and now the phone is acting very odd. It randomly "presses" the lower left hand selection.

So if I access the gmail app, it will automatically archive some emails.

When I leave the phone unattended, it will go to the dialpad, since thats on the bottom left.

Anyone had a similar issue?

Thanks

Hello! This is Noah with Verizon Wireless, hope you are having a great day. The issues you seem to be having appear to be phone software problems. What I can recommend is that you power that phone off, remove and replace the battery to do a soft reset on that device. Then dial *228 send option 1 on the phone.

The only significant Gmail changes with the Froyo 2.2 update were the forward and back buttons that were added to allow you to move quickly through emails. For your email issues I recommend you check your email settings in your Gmail account, archived emails are usually emails that have been viewed from the phone or from a PC.

Also you might want to make sure the new dial pad widget is not being pressed accidentally.

Soft Reset

Press the Power key.

Touch Power off.

Touch OK.

Press the Power key to power on the device.

Remove and reinstall battery and power on device.

Having an odd problem here. In regards to the music player after the 2.2 update. I will go to play music, either from an album or on shuffle. It will play one song and then freeze. I have to pull the battery to fix it and then after that it plays fine. Issue is I'm often in the car when this happens and can't really be fussing with pulling the battery from my phone. Any ideas? Should I do a factory data reset and see if that helps? I have everything backed up but they're still kind of a pain to do.

The factory reset would be the last course of action. First try making sure that you do not have any other music programs running in the background. You can close them out under settings, applications, running applications, then you would choose the music applications and force close. This should prevent the files from being used by 2 separate players.

Also make sure that you have the most updated version of the update.

Ok, so I've been spending most of my time on the Motorola support forum and hearing quite a few people with similar problems. Since the 2.2 update my browsing speed seems significantly slower, when accessing my gallery for pictures or video it takes much longer to load the thumbnails and it loads them haphazardly. I am no longer getting updates from either my facebook or from my last homescreen with news and tips and tricks. These are all since 2.2 which I had to do a battery pull to get working after downloading since my screen was blacked out after the download.

Issues with Droid X prior to 2.2 and not seeming to be fixed by 2.2 are the 3G signal. Again doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason to when I have 3G or not. When I'm in a spot that normally has strong 3 G coverage all of a sudden I will get nothing. For 5 to 10 minutes at a time. This is really annoying as we are all paying for data plans that we can't access due to our devices when we would like to .

Overall I have to say I am extremely disappointed with the Droid X and wish I would not have waited for 2.2 hoping it would fix things instead of taking it back when I could before my 30 days was up.

I hate the factory reset answer. Its become the scapegoat of IT. Fir the music issue, go into Settings > Application > Manage, find the Music app and clear data. Works with several other apps also. If you have problems across the board, factory reset, activate but done set up your accounts. Go to Settings > Privacy > uncheck backup and automatic backup. Set up you accounts and redownload you apps.

I was listening to music while walking on my break. After the third Red Elvis song - silence. As I was checking the phone my "End of Break: timer went off. I slid the bar to exit the timer and the phone went black. I figured it just went to "sleep" to conserve battery but when I got to my desk and tried to wake it - nothing, nada, zilch.

I tried first to soft-reboot it by turning it off with the button, etc. And could not get it to respond then, perhaps stupidly, I tried to put a paper clip end in the tiny hole adjacent to the headphone jack. This IS what it's for isn't it? Please tell me I didn't wreck something in there!

Anyway, I did what the comunity said and took the battery out and now it's up and seems fine. I haven't tried to play my tunes yet tho.

If it were you, would you go ahead and "clear data" in the music app before trying the music again? Will this wipe out all my songs?

That hole is you mic hole not a reset button, the Droid X doesn't have a reset button, the only way to free up a lockup is to do a battery pull.. As for lockup issue has you gave thought of possibly some software incompatibility, also are you using a task tiller? From the sound of things the music app gave you no issues before the alarm triggered, maybe they are not playing together well, set another alarm and see if you can duplicate the issue and then you will know how to proceed.
