2 days ago my Droid X randomly got really slow. Especially when getting into the text messaging app. It would bring up the list of texts with the phone #s, and then take up to 20 seconds to populate the caller IDs for the numbers from the phone book. Then, in general the phone was very sluggish. I don't have any crazy apps installed. Seesmic, Beatiful Widgets, Facebook, pretty basic stuff. I use my corporate email and personal Gmail account. Don't even have the reported issues with my Exchange account. Until this random slow down everything was great, and I was loving my switch from Blackberry, to which I was a crackberry addict for years. I work with computers for a living and am a power user.
So now here's my huge problem. I went to the Verizon store yesterday to see if they knew a fix to my phone slow down issue since I couldn't find a solution on the Android Central forums. They thought maybe I had too many texts so we deleted them all. Didn't fix the issues. Then we began removing apps I had installed one by one to see if that would work. No luck. Then we wiped the phone, which seemed to work until early this afternoon it slowed down again.
I called Verizon Tech Support and they wanted me to run it in Safe mode for a day before sending me a new phone, which is back ordered until the 26th anyway. So we set it in Safe mode. Still didn't fix the slowness, so I asked her to order me a new phone. She asked that I try wiping it again and running it for 24 hours without any new apps installed after the wipe. I agreed. Pulled the battery to reboot out of safe mode. So when I rebooted, it brought up the Motorola M logo, then the Droid logo, then the red eye. Then it got stuck on the red eye, with the animation in the eye going back and forth. I never boots up. I've tried battery pulling, letting it sit for several minutes, and then turning it back on again with the same result every time. I even tried holding in the menu key to boot it back into safe mode with no luck.
So now I don't even have a working phone, which I run my personal and professional life off of. We don't even have a land line. I already sold my Blackberry online. I'm stuck! I was hoping someone might have a solution for me. At least to get this phone booted up until I can get my replacement on the 26th.
Sorry this message is so long. Thanks for reading it, and any help you may be able to provide.
