OFFICIAL: Motorla Droid getting Froyo next week

[wahuff]

Anyone notice that the ringer cannot be set completely off, with the volume buttons, any longer with Froyo? It will only go as low as vibrate . The only way I see to do it now is holding the power button and choosing "Silent Mode".

Thoughts?

Yea - just noticing that now that you said it. Ive only had to shut phone ringer off once since update and i guess i just didnt notice it was on vibrate. Doesnt bother me too much other than the fact it doesnt make much sense. ( UI refinements that seem like a step backwards is a pet peeve ).

Anyone have any word on the FRG22 build rolling out?

I use a free app called "ring toggle" that lets me set my phone to "silent mode", among other things.

Note: I'm not affiliated to "ring toggle" in any way, other than being a user.

Huge Lag On Home Screen

Ever since updating to 2.2, my Droid's home screen has a HUGE lag before popping up. This happens whenever I change the orientation of the screen from landscape to portrait, or vice versa, or even just unlocking the phone. Anyone else having issues with this? All I see is the wallpaper for a good 5 seconds, when on 2.1 is was extremely fast. Any suggestions? If no one else is having this issue, I guess it may be one of the widgets. Thanks.

My understanding is that the Droid must reload all the widgets to the home screen every time you change the orientation. You can delete the widgets one by one and turn it to see which one is causing the problem, and perhaps you could move that widget to one of the other screens (Actually, I don't know if that will work because I don't know if the widgets are all loaded every time, even on the screens that don't show.)

What! Your home screen rotates. Mine hasn't from day one with 2.1 or now with2.2. Auto rotate screen checked, works with everything else but not on home screen. Am I missing a setting?

My home screen rotates -- always has -- with the keyboard open.

Mine too! I thought I was the only one because I hadn't read of anyone else having the problem til now. I'm afraid one day the screen is gonna go blank and not come back. I didn't have this problem with 2.1 either. Hopefully everything will be ok.

Mine is doing the same thing since the update. Not only that but I have had to do 2 battery pulls since the update.

The first one cause the phone froze when I was using the keyboard. The second one because Pandora and Slacker both stopped working on my phone.

2.2 is ticking me off.

Just perform a factory reset. That is what fixed mine and countless others.

Factory reset? Oh man is that really what I'm gonna have to do? I wouldn't mind if this were a blackberry and I could use DM to put all my data back! Let me look through the forums for the proper or best way to back my phone up!

No need. Your phone does it automatically!

All your apps? In the market under downloads.

All your SD card contents? Left untouched.

The only thing you will miss is the texts and call log.

 

[pansy22]

wow...its great ..please give me more information about this....

 

[HTCEVOFORSALE]

You and WAM were correct! I just wanted my screen layouts to be saved. I tried backup pro but it said I didn't have enough space to store and backup, which was weird but its fine. It was like getting a new phone again! The first few days there wasn't a lag between screens but it's back again. I got the update Big Red sent out too, but it was happening before that. I don't mind too much, I mean overall my phone works great! It makes phone calls, sends and receives messages and I can surf the net so I'm happy.
