lol, at least they gave reference to this forum. Thanks for the link.
Ya know, as much as this "fix" made a big difference, this official 2.2 is still buggy. I'm getting tired of it tbh.
I talked to Motorola about some of these issues and was supposed to get a call back from level 2 or 3 support in "24 hours". That was 48 hours ago... At least they documented (so the rep said) the bandaid I found so they can do something about it. I even told them where to look here, so they can see it's not just a handful of people that fall into the 2% tough luck crowd.
I had actually found a better way, rather, a cleaner way to do the reset. It has always seemed to me that a battery pull before anything is better - and this is because by doing so releases any residual energy in the circuitry, thus being certain no data (good or bad) might be residing in memory (this applies to most any computerized device).
What I did different was.... Instead of going through the menu and doing a factory reset, I just shutdown, pulled the battery for a few seconds (always hit the power switch when the power source is removed to dump residual energy quickly), put the battery back in and booted to recover. I did a reset from there and then made sure to boot without logging into any account..etc.
After I did that it ran even
smoother than before. Screen transitions were almost as smooth as LP or ADW. For a while anyway.. I think this release has a memory leak.
Is it me or is everyone else having auto brightness issues?
