newest UPDATE a total WASTE!

Is anyone else having the same issues as I am since the update? Here's what i've been having trouble with ever since this new WASTE OF MY TIME! smh

1. When I am on the Facebook app, I can upload pics, comment on posts, send messages BUT for some reason, every time i go to update MY status or post on someone's wall, the app CRASHES and sends me back to my home screen! I've reported this problem several times.

2.  Crackle, Tv.com, Netflix, and other entertainment (minus youtube) apps have all stopped working. Everything was fine before the update.

3. Seems like my battery life has completely taken on a mind of its own....I charge it to 100% and within the next hour its DEAD!

How can I go about fixing these issues. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the apps (minus facebook which was already on my phone and you can't uninstall)?  This is truly killing my whole Droid experience.  I'm sooooo tempted to go back to APPLE! My iPhone NEVER had these kinds of issues!

  Try this. Print out these instructions or have them available when working with your phone, it wipes the phones cache partition. This could fix your issues. Please follow the instructions exact, choosing the wrong option could completely wipe your phone.

Shut phone off

Hold Volume Up,Volume Down, and Power Button until Boot Mode menu appears.

Volume down to RECOVER

Select RECOVER option by hitting the VOLUME UP button, the phone reboots into Recover mode.

When Android figure is shown with red exclamation point on it, hit both the Volume up and volume down buttons for menu.

Scroll down using the Volume up/down button to Wipe Cache Partition and select with power button

Yellow text will appear on the left side towards the bottom to let you know the status. Once it says it is complete, scroll down with the volume up/down buttons to Reboot phone and select with power button

Phone should reboot normal.

As Droid Usr suggested - do the cache wipe but I'll bet money yours is one that will need a FDR. I had nearly the exact same issues - as many people have - I did the cache wipe and then  a factory data reset without restoring any apps or data automatically, everything is wonderful now. It's a pain but you won't believe how much better the phone will be.

That was my thought, do the cache wipe first to see if it fixes the issues, and then if you still have them, do a FDR.

will this erase all of my current information in the phone and will i have to re-install my apps and/or my contacts/calendar as well?

Not by wiping cache.  Just be sure you don't hit the factory reset option.

Just doing the cache wipe is non-destructive. If you have to do an FDR then yes, it's curtains for whatever is on there. Note that if you do the FDR I would follow the guides on here(if you can't find one let me know)that say to NOT restore apps/data automatically - that's what is seemingly trashing the phones...

Good luck! Don't worry, the FDR sounds much worst than it is. Trust me, it's a completely different phone afterwards.
