If it doesn't fix it this phone is getting shoved somewhere very dard on the human body sideways on monday.

 

Still quite **bleep** that my roommate's Droid X now has gingerbread yet mine doesn't

Are they sending in phases or something? I have been manually checking for updates for an hour, no dice.

Saw this update info on Droid Life and at 8:00pm (central time) I began the download. Was fairly quick even though I was only on 3G. Went through with out a hiccup. Noticed the "3G" icon was much larger but that's about it. Didn't see a NY Times bookmark at all but I can live without it. I just hope and pray that this eliminates, and not just reduce, the random reboots. And I also saw that the Inc2 is now officially getting Gingerbread so I hope that means that the TBolt isn't too far behind, especially since we're past the 2Q.

Everything updated without a hitch.  Also noticed that the 3G icon is larger.  My text messages seem to load/process quicker.  Will keep my fingers crossed.

Since 8:05pm working flawless. No warm boots. Increased speed on software response. Does not seem to have the lag in opening and closing of apps. Added some more **bleep** ware. Did not alter existing software. Got a pretty money maker Hot spot button in the apps. After all verzon dont want you having trouble finding your way to the Hot Spots?

Confirmed by 2 technicians.

 

Why would Verizon need to release an update for problems that don't exist? I called tech support two days ago about the reboots, data connection drops, and GPS issue and was told by the "technician" that they have no idea what I was talking about and that no one else is reporting those problems.

 

I'm sure they have been specifically told to deny all knowledge of anything.

Boot-up time still seems long, but it doesn't appear to suck up as much of the battery life as it did before.  From full charge the battery only dropped to 98% - used to drop to at least 95% or lower before.  GPS still takes a while to lock in.

I do not believe the NFL application requires a Username and Password, so this is most likely the reason you are not being prompted. When you mention VZW Apps, do you mean My Verizon? Which VZW Applications are giving you this error and what is the error you are receiving? I would like to assist you with a resolution.
