It's been a few hours and I'm not too thrilled with the update.
+ The lag between dialing/selecting a contact and the actual phone call has been fixed. It's now as quick as it was in Froyo
+ So far, I haven't had a single random reset. It's been a few hours, but I'll be keeping an eye on it
- Camera still doesn't work right. After one or two pictures, the phone either lags out completely, shuts down the camera program, or completely freezes the phone to the point that a battery pull is necessary. This happens with the stock camera app as well as third party camera programs.
- Reception is horrendous. I think this update made my reception worse than the initial GB update. I'm lucky to get 2 bars, where Froyo consistently gave me 4 bars of reception. People who are able to call me are saying that they are being sent straight to voice mail half the time
- There seems to be weird, random lag on some of the programs where there was no lag previously. This includes Gmail and Google Maps, so it doesn't seem to be confined to third party apps.
- My app space seems to be minimal. I'm not one to install a load of apps. I noticed when I went from Froyo to Gingerbread, it would say that I was out of space for apps on half the amount used in Froyo. This update seems to have given me back some of that app space, but I'm not sure if it's back to Froyo levels or not. I'm on minimal apps now to have a useable phone.
So, for me, Gingerbread has been a total bust for me. It's turned my phone into a useless piece of crap. I'm tempted to just flash it back to Froyo, but I think that would only annoy me more knowning that it's not up to date. Verizon offered to send me another DX, but to be honest, if it has GB, I'm not interested. If it gets unbearable, I'll be switching out. Otherwise, I'll be waiting for Ice Cream Sandwich to see if it fixes what GB broke, or if it'll be another downgrade. By then, I should be close to my phone upgrade. If Ice Cream Sandwich is another dud, I'm getting away from Android.
