so how is the new 2.3.4 update

[RMLJ]

To me a lot better than past updates. There are a few little things but nothing major that I have found. I think I went over 13 hours yesterday on battery with plenty to go i think it was like 43% remaining when I plugged it up.

anyone use everyone auto answer if so does it still work or did it die with update.???

[scottthreet32]

Does anyone use auto answer by everysoft does it work with gingerbread 2.3.4 or did update kill it.

[stargazer72460]

scottthreet, I did not have that application on my phone before the latest gingerbread update.  I downloaded it and tried it out.  It forced close on me, I tried three different wait settings and it "crashed" on all of them.  I have removed the app from my phone.

[scottthreet32]

thank you that's all I needed to know, 2.3.4 update Google has denied some call permissions with gingerbread

Flawless update. So far everything works. I'll be back if I find any exceptions. Now at 2.34.

So far it's good.  A few subtle changes which are welcome fixes (for example, scrolling through apps will stop at each screen full now, rather than continuing to coast through).  I had downloaded Skype a while back and then discovered the back camera problem and uninstalled it in disgust.  I reloaded Skype and tried it out just now, and it works perfectly.

I am having a serious problem since the update. Whenever I use 4G, my battery drains in less than an hour and my phone gets so hot that I can't hold it. I have to switch the phone to 3G and reboot to fix it. Verizon tech support says this is not a known issue but I have seen other posts complaining about this issue.

You might want to get a different battery to check with or have your current battery checked out. I can run my phone for several hours on 4G before the battery is drained to 30% or so. I use both the standard and extended battery.

@ sherweed

Also are you running the stock standard battery or the extended battery, I have came to the conclution that the stock battery may be made of cheaper cells because it does drop fast at times where the extended does way better.

Now I KNOW the extended battery suppose to last longer but the regular battery drops almost instantly a couple of percent within a minute of being unplugged no matter what, where the extended battery will drop one percent after about 45 minutes to a hour when I am still using it...   Just something I noticed.

Also extended doesnt get hot like the standard battery does and I have had it replaced twice already...

Well that's why I'm waiting and hopefully a VZW employee will trip into this thread and read about these problems, I like my froyo app and with gingerbread 2.3.4 it will kill it along with more problems I don't want or need
