froyo problem

[mediocre inc]

i did the forced ota update. worked great. except now my wireless won't hook up with my droid. just said obtaining address. any ideas?

Have you rebooted again since the reboot immediately following the 2.2 installation? Try turning the phone off then back on again.

did the reboot and it didn't work. i "forgot" my home wireless and typed in my password and still no love. is god punishing me for not having the patients to wait the couple extra days?
i sideloaded the flashplayer so i'll play with that for awhile and try again in the morning.

any luck? I'd do a factory reset and then try froyo again.

the wi fi still is not working.
if i do the factory reset, that wipes out everything even the sd card?
i have alot of movies and tv show on the sd. i can back those up easily. what about saved data from my games?
is there an easy way to just backup the majority of the phone in a couple of steps or is it 1 thing at a time?

can i just uninstall froyo and try it again instead of a full factory reset?
and if that is possible, how?

download titanium backup (don't forget to donate to the dev). it will backup apps and data . then do your factory reset.

The official kernel doesn't have n support like most custom ones do so that may be the problem.

it says the titanium back up is for root only. i'm not rooted. also my market updates all failed. everything else works except for wi fi.
btw thanks for the help. this is the most helpfull forum out there.
i'm just waiting for someone to call me a noob or g@y. then it'll be just like the xbox forums.

the n is the wireless router type? i'll go look at my router.

 

[neubanks89]

Yeah, You have to make sure its on "mixed" mode in the wireless settings.

It works with an n router just not n-only mode

I updated last night to 2.2 and my Wifi isn't working either. I read that Wifi was left out or broken in the manual update? I find that hard to believe but I dunno why it isn't working.

 

[neubanks89]

Mine is working great. I've used it non stop since the manual update. Non rooted.

Ok everyone here is confused.

Clarifications time.


Factory resets DO NOT DELETE SD CARD CONTESTS.
Apps are all saved in the market and will download automatically
Your settings such as ringtones, contacts, wireless settings, ect are ALSO retained

NM, I finally got wifi to work. Dunno why it wasn't working at home last night.

That is why we are here

the factory reset has gone wrong. i do the reset and make the call and she says it was successful. i wait a bit and hit next and then it wants me to activate it again. i've done it a couple of times now. so i skip and try to log into google. it tells me i'm not connected to a network. i still can't get the wifi to work. i skip ahead and i'm still running 2.2.
i might have to bring it in. i hate going into verizon and waiting.
i knew i should have waited for the update to get pushed.

Wifi is working fine for me.

When things do get flaky in that regard, rebooting my router is the first thing I try.

i tried that and it didn't work. maybe i should have tried that first.
