"Upgrade" 2.3.340 Issues

[gerio]

As for your pictures and music, I believe that is stored on your SD card.

You should be able to pull the SD card, connect it to your PC, and save the content to your hard drive, then re-load it to the SD card once you have the phone straightened out.

I have 2 Droid Xs, both went through the update just fine, no issues.

Like others here, I firmly believe that this issues are related to certain apps and widgets that don't get along with the new firmware.

Pay for a good backup app that saves EVERYTHING on their weibsite.  Once you're sure it's all safely stored there -- including all your apps, photos, music, texts, do a FACTORY RESET.  Next, load the upgrade again if it will let you.  Return to your backup site and load your apps.   I had the same problem as you and this solved it for me.  LOVE it now!!

This has been a strange update for me. The previous update to 2.2 Froyo really was a non-event for me. I had no problems whatsoever.  But this latest one seems to cause some strangeness from time to time. I did get a random reboot once. I had a hang, once.  Every once in a while I get some screen flicker or something strange - but it does't happen that often, so for now just something I notice.  I think some of the APPS that were installed prior to this update probably still need updating - e.g., LPP - as they are maybe implicated ... we'll see.  But definitely a little buggy of an update for me compared to previous.

I could be imagining things but it sure seems like the battery consumption has gone way up since the update.

No your not imagining. I used to go all day and only recharge at night, but now my battery is dead by 7pm. And no....my battery settings did not change. The only change is the update. I hate this update.

I was in meetings almost all day today so I had very little time on the phone.

My phone was in the red by 4:00 PM.

Before the update I was still green at bed time.

[nolafire]

Yeah I am with you. Charged last night from 10p to 6a this morning. Little use and one call, and I was in red by 5pm. Before update I could have moderate use, one or two calls and still last till 10 or 11 pm. I have checked all my settings, and even looked at battery consumption screen on a regular basis and nothing is out of the ordinary. Something else is hogging my battery and I don't like it. And honestly I am tired of the factory reset answer everyone is giving out. I don't want to spend hours or days, getting my phone back to the point that has taken me months to get to. {edit for TOS violation}

My phone keeps crashing since the update.  It freezes up every program it tries to run, doesn't respond to any commands, and then shuts down. 
This has been a horrible update for me.
Anyone else have this problem?  Or anyone else have a solution?

Android OS 2.3 upgrade working without a problem here.

You might need to upgrade your apps.

You may want to include detail information about how to duplicate your problem... starting from rebooting the phone.

You need to isolate the problem before you can troubleshoot it.

When the froyo update came out, phone was fine. Ever since the update2.2.1 , when I connect  the X  to my computer & access my sd card(mass storage), it will eject it & in & out, and can't access it and when I remove the usb and view the "files" folder it says no SD card inserted(which it is) , only if I remove the SD card and put it in my media slot of my pc I can view all my files...

Another thing, When I look into the "gallery" it boots me out to home screen. When I try to attempt to change the wallpaper & choose "media gallery" it boots me out, but accessing "live wallpaper" & "wallpapers" is just fine. I try to upload a pic to facebook, or attach photos on an email and when I access the "gallery" it boots me out to home screen as well.

When I use the camera and take a pic and want to view the picture I can see all pictures I have taken and can only use the photos I have taken as wallpaper.

ANYONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM ALSO?

I HAVE REMOVED THE BATTERY A FEW TIMES, UPDATED ALL APPS I HAVE, ERASED ALOT OF PICS,FILES,MUSIC OFF MY SD CARD, & I CALLED *228 FOR THE PROGRAMMING ALSO, I DON'T WANT TO CALL VZW YET..THAT WOULD BE MY LAST RESORT....=(

ANYONE PLEASE HELP?

I am on the limited 150mb data plan.  Obviously when the phone updates it will require data, but 13 or 14 mb?  I lost almost 10% of my data allotment the second day I got my phone!

I didn't even have the option to say no.  The phone automatically downloaded the update and kept bugging me until I installed it.

I personally think it is unfair to CHARGE for phone software updates.  Non data phones can do software updates without charging for data usage.
