Droid X freezing/locking up

[PacoX]

With a factory reset you lose apps, contacts, and saved text. Your contacts should be backed up via google or verizon. Any purchased apps will show up in your market download list. It takes about half an hour to an hour to download 70+ apps.

I've been having the same problem. My phone is on, but all I get is the M on the screen.  I can hear phone calls come in, but I have no way to answer them.  I don't want to take about my battery every time to get it to work.   I guess I will have to do a reset.  I hope this isn't a continual  issue; otherwise, the reason for getting the Droid X is moot.

If you look around there are a couple of other "hot" threads on the frozen screen issue on the forum.  A couple of proposed work arounds.  If found the following on a Motorola Board (it is also posted elsewhere on the Verizon Board)

"If you have already upgraded to 2.2 for Droid X, you have found some new capabilities. Unfortunately, some owners also found new issues.  Here are some of the known issues raised by forums members, with some information about each. It is not intended to be a complete list at this time -- there are many more fixes and improvements in the works. I’ll update this list as information becomes available.

• Stuck on Moto logo after reboot – this was tough on a few owners. Very sorry about that. A fix has been developed for this and should eliminate the problem. It will be distributed in a future software release. If you are still experiencing this issue, click here.
  
  
• Random rebooting – while there always seem to be new conditions that can cause an electronic device to panic, we do have improvements coming that address and eliminate identified panic states. They will be distributed in a future software release.
  
  
• WiFi connection and stability – improvements in WiFi have been developed, to address several problem areas. They will be distributed in a future software release.

• Battery Manager “force close” errors – under some circumstances, pressing the battery icon under Menu > Settings > Battery Manager results in a forced close error. A fix has been developed for this and should eliminate the problem. It will be distributed in a future software release.

• Media won’t play – includes “sorry the player does not support this type of audio file," custom ringtone stop working, video won’t play, etc., until after a reboot. We believe we have identified the cause of these errors. A fix has been developed for this and should eliminate the problem. It will be distributed in a future software release.
  
  

• Music files cutting off the final four seconds or so – a solution has been developed. It will be distributed in a future software release."

At this time I don't have information about when the next software update will be available -- when I have it, I'll share it here

Now I know this is a swing subject on if a Task Killer is needed but I have not had any issues using Advance Task Killer so Im for them myself, give it a try, what would it hurt.. I believe it may help because I am thinking your devices resources may be getting low from running all that time without monitoring and closing background apps..

I got the 2.2 update and installed it and now 1 week later I am awaiting the arrival of my replacement Droid X because it went kaput last night. I do not recommend the 2.2 update! While on the phone with tech support for an hour my husband looked on google and found that the Droid X is having massive issues with the 2.2 no matter what Verizon tech support tries to tell you. The lady I spoke with last night didn't admit to seeing issues until my husband brought it up that he had found something online. Here is the link to what we found. Mu husband has the X as well and so far so godd on his device.
