It's been almost a month since the GB (aka 2.3) update was pulled for the Droid 2 Global.  Can someone from Verizon give us any idea when it will reappear?

As always, Motorola promise the update is coming soon.  (They need to fix it, not Verizon)

 

And if you really want 4.5.607 (the update that was pulled) Google is your friend.

We do not have a date when this update will be available again. Once available, it will be pushed to your device.

I got the GB update about a week ago on my D2G, and for the most part I am happy with it. It does however have it's glitches. One that is minor but starting to bug me is that every time I recieve a text message, I get the message twice. This is happens from all contacts, and on nearly every message (i think 2 out of about the last 150 messages didn't have a duplicate.) Any thoughts on what might be causing this or how to fix it? Oh, and I am using the stock messaging app, no 3rd party messaging apps. Much appreciated!

Thanks for bringing the duplicate message issue to our attention. I also want to thank you for advising us that you are using the stock message vs. 3rd party message apps.

 

I will forward your information to our product development team.

I just had a new OS (I had no option to decline it) pushed to my Motorola Droid X2 Global. Where can I find instruction on what to do after installation? I no longer have any apps working including the app market.

Oh my word, I LOATHE the Gingerbread update....   it took a terrible phone and somehow managed to make it even worse. What I wouldn't give to have the old OS back. Can't even text on it anymore as after every word I type, the text message app closes as soon as I hit the space key. And no, I'm not running a bunch of apps - only the same three that I have had all along. The only thing that changed was the new OS!

 

WHY am I forced to live with this "DOWNdate" that obviously hasn't been properly de-bugged and that I didn't want to begin with? Can anyone tell me if there's a way to undo the update?

I hate to sound like a script-driven customer service robot, but....   have you tried a factory reset?  They really shouldn't be needed after an OS upgrade, but many people have found that that does fix the issue. 

 

I wish we understood why the update works great for many (including me!) and causes so many problems for others....
