Droidx problem *HELP*

Well lets see where to start...my phone just restarted out of no where the other day. my news and current events tab changed to the M "Motorola Logo" inside the tab and says "touch here" all my contacts that were linked to Fb are gone. So i go to system update thinking maybe i need to update and it tells me " "system update" is not available without a Motorola service account. Would you like to setup a account now?" but when I click Setup it doesn't give me a service account to sign up for.

I haven't rooted my device, all I've really done is used launcher pro.
 
I'd do an actual battery pull (while the device is turned on) if you haven't already. Then, I'd delete Launcher Pro. It's running fine on my phone, but a lot of people in the past couple of weeks have started experiencing fc's and reboots that went away after removing LP. Likely related to an app (that not everyone has) conflict that has had a recent update and for some reason is screwing up LP. Try ADW instead. Those that use it, love it.
 
In addition/combination to greydarrah's comments, if you have paid for LP+, then you might try reinstalling LP after deleting it and rebooting after removal. I was having some issues and being cheap I wanted to keep using what I paid for. Doing the battery pull while my X was on, then restarting and removing LP, followed by a reboot and reinstall of LP seems to have worked as I am no longer having issues.

If all else fails, there are a number of launcher replacements out there to try, just bear in mind the free ones are not always the most stable.

Yeah, I read another post in the past day or 2 where the user did the same thing (uninstall/reinstall with reboots in between) and had success.

Launcher Pro deleted with battery pull in between still no help..thinking factory reset in the near future after I decide if I want to write down all my apps to download again
 
i believe if you use your same gmail account you will have a list of all your apps in the appstore, and should restore those apps for you. At least what i have heard. Haven't tried it myself.
 
..yup market will remember you paid apps using the same gmail account. Appbrain will remember all your apps free or paid. :)
 
Thats probably my next option after I delete LP. I love it but if it works then maybe adw will work for me as good as LP does.

I had to use ADW for a while due to similar issues you're having. It's a great launcher. The only thing LPP really has over ADW are the widgets.
 
Factory reset worked like a charm...didn't do the appbrain thing but I have most of my apps back now. Might try out ADW launcher but could go back to laucher pro at anytime..
 
Weirdness often results from auto-update "feature" from the Market. See below (beneath my sig). It's so common a problem that I got tired of writing it over and over....
