My Droid Bionic is stock. Updated yesterday to ICS around 11 am (so almost 24 hours), so if it's time the phone has needed to update everything, it's had it. i am trying to avoid a factory reboot, so if any of you have ideas....
But since the update:
Crashes continually (like every few minutes), black screen often, programs freeze.
Initially I thought it was because I have a ton of text messages, and it was talking to the Contacts, and that may be slowing things down. So I tried a method suggested where I unsyched all contacts databases (google, facebook, etc), wiped them all out, only allowed google (some felt it was a facebook issue in the post I read), but that didn't work. And still no texts.
AFTER (of course) the install I d/l'd My Backup Pro, seeing if I could protect as much as possible if I do have to do a factory reset. It froze a few times too while backing up, so I did it in sections, rather than "ALL". Problem for sure with SMS and MMS.
I use Handcent SMS and stock. Cant' send or receive texts, nor will load text messages. The little circle just spins and spins and after a minute or so it freezes and crashes the phone, or a pop up message says it's not working, do I want to wait or quit. Sometimes THAT plays nice, other times it freezes again. (And I get this message on many other apps too).
I also tried doing that manual boot where I clear out the cache.
Am I doomed to do a reset?
