I'm happy with the update. My phone has none of the described problems. Battery life isn't any worse than it was before the update. The items seen in task killer are a non-issue, I don't even use a TK. Never have, never will. Although many here seem to believe that they know more than those who created the OS, I'm not in that category. I will assume that they they do - in fact - know a little more than I do about their product than I do, until I'm able to build my own OS and have it loaded exclusively on a massive line of flagship handsets. For now, I'll go with their advice.

Anyhoooo... As I said, no issues with the Froyo update.

I certainly do not pretend to know more about the OS than the developers, I'm not sure how that even is applicable.  If your phone is acting up or not working than someone telling you are wrong does not make it so.  As far as task killer goes, I do not know if all the apps now showing on task killer are impacting battery life or not.  But I do know that my phone jumps from screen to screen without being touched, it does jump around from folder to folder in e-mail, it is noticeably slower on the internet, etc... than before, and the battery is definitely draining quicker and charging slower.  Obviously there are issues out there, the title of this overall site is Droid Incredible not issues with update, yet there is almost nothing else being posted.  I have never posted on this site ever, the only reason I came here was because of the issues I have been having.  Whether it's the majority or minority, it is very clear there are significant issues.  It took about a week after the "upgrade" before my phone starting acting up, so I strongly suspect that once all Incredible users have "upgraded" and have had it running for a week or so these post will grow significantly.

As far as the phone jumping from screen to screen, try cleaning out the optical joystick.  This happens to me sometimes if a piece of lint or something gets in there from my pocket.

the hard reset is only IF you have any issues. most of us had none. i am LOVING 2.2. didn't need to reset. had no issues. uninstalled app killer. battery life is the same. and i'm not sure what the deal is with some people's browsing experience? everyone i've seen (including myself) that has run speed tests, have seen significant increase in upload/dowload speeds. still scrolls as smooth as an iphone. 720p video recording is sweet. i almost dropped the $20/mo to add the hot spot feature (at a fantasy football draft last night with 6 guys on laptops when the wifi crashed) last night just to show it off, but thought better of it. yes....apps run in the ground. but no.....it has had no negative impact on my performance. using the stock battery and i still get 20+ hours of up time and about 3 hours of awake time. i rarely actually use it more than 3 hours in a day so it works GREAT for me. i know there are legitimate bugs and issues out there, but i also suspect many users have things synching constantly that they don't realize. like dabu mentioned, i tweaked a lot of those. don't use the facebook app, set email to only check every 15 minutes, turned of "news,"  "stocks,"  and "weather" synching (when i use the weather widget i synch it with one touch while viewing so why do i need it to constantly synch?). unless i use it heavily for some reason, i still get a full day from one charge (same as the day i bought it 4 months ago).

Well...I'm in the middle here. I'm happy about the 720p upgrade but disappointed with the bugs that came along with it (update).

I did the fac reset yesterday & the phone is still behaving pretty much the same.

My problem has been while texting. It appears that the phone is playing "catch up" to my keystrokes. It's very laggy at times while texting.

I've also noticed that the phone, as a whole, is sluggish. Prior to the update, this phone was a beast! It was fast & very responsive! I feel like the update took away some of it's speed for some reason.

I too am having the noticeable slower charging & slower net speed.

I sure hope a patch is in the works!

P.S.. I removed ATK as the phone was total garbage with it. Since removal of it, the phone stabilized with the exception of the above referenced.

I am very happy with 2.2. I was having some issues at first, but I did a hard reset after I did the update, and it has been fine ever since! It is so fast, and I don't have any issues with the screen or anything. I uninstalled my task killer, and my battery life has been just fine.

Since my Forced Master Reset, this phone is so much better. two issues though, disappearing email even from GMail and the tediously slow charge now.

No problems whatsoever, working great after upgrade, no factor restart needed.

I am on my 3rd incredible since the release of 2.2 and the overall performance of the phone is subpar compared to the 2.1update1 version.

 

3 phones with 2.2 and repetitive issues indicates the issue is with the software and not the phone. Verizon will continue to push me replacements but my best bet is hoping for the supposed update containing fixes in the coming weeks.

 

Like many other users ...the phone/software was much more solid prior to 2.2.
