Froyo was a mistake

[thirdeye7]

My wife and I have had a zero problem experience, so FroYo was a win on both of our phones.

Keep things in perspective. There are thousands of Dx users, about 60 of them have had issues. So FroYo has about a .1% screw up rate? I like having a 99.9% pass rate!

The only reason it seems like a flood of issues is because right now, anyone having issues is looking for help on the internet and landing here, many people reporting problems have less than 10 for a post count.

I'm amazed that this has to be pointed out....that's just how it is online...most people who r happy don't come online to discuss. The
majority of people with issues usually end up on sites like these.

I had all of the same problems, freezing, forced closing, non responsive screen. I uninstalled the gmail 2.3 upgrade and everything is smooth as silk. I have even reinstalled the gmail 2.3 upgrade now and everything is still working fine now.

If you get a DroidX from Verizon now, it should come with 2.2 and have no issues.

yep I've had my bouts with big red in the past so I'm hoping it does. That's why I wondered if it might be an OTA issue.

and the percentage rate of issues vs. non-issues is a good ay to look at it.

im curious how many people who had issues were rooted before the install...

THIS. Don't forget leaked 2.2, rolled back, etc. We have absolutely no idea how real any of these problems are because many of of the posts indicate an issue minus this critical detail.

99% of the time, stock unit + Froyo = few to no problems.

I was rooted with SU using autostarts (didnt mess with the bloatware) and was fine.

Back at the last software fix people had already realized rooting/bloatware may cause issues.
