[OFFICIAL] Droid X Gingerbread Impressions and Issues

Corporate Email not updating as scheduled

I have my corporate email Data push set, but it seems to be only working manually when I check on the app. Is anyone else experiencing similar issues?
 
I keep getting this same error anyone have any ideas?

Rooted vzw froyo no custom rom or anything (free tethering) trying to update to Gigerbread.

I got the update zip and i am getting file not signed, install aborted..

Since updating, my home screens lag horribly and each time i press the home button my home screen shows up blank and it takes 2-3 seconds for my widgets to load. I have over 500 apps and all of my home screens are filled with widgets, but I never had this problem with Froyo.
 
Besides my battery life totally sucking, the bottom buttons not lighting up when it is either dark or low light, and the bottom buttons not turning off when in the dock, everything is just peachy!:p
 
Yep, OTA'd mine just before noon. Took almost an hour but it installed flawlessly. Ran a Quadrant Benchmark and my 'stock' X hit 1624; no rooting/overclocking.

D/k about battery life yet.
 
For those that did the update OTA, did you have your "Backup and Restore" options checked or checked off? Remember how this was an issue when updating to Froyo? Will it be the same issue here?
 
Im downloading right now, i did a back up from this app called backup pro. hope it keeps my easy tether pro app still on the phone, i do not wanna pay the 20 bucks a month...anybody know if ill loose my app once the update finalizes the update.
 
:)

- Dragging lists past their end, used to "stretch/bounce" nicely off the top/bottom. Now. only get a faint blue shadow at list ends.

Is this a feature? I thought it was a bug when I started playing with the update. Very ugly and not very polished if it is intended functionality.

I am also seeing the issue with birthdays showing as a long string of numbers.
 
Downloaded and Running smoothly

I checked for the update at 4:30AM. It was these, so I downloaded it. It took about 5 minutes to D/L. The install took about the same. I have Launcher Pro and opted to keep it running. The update is lovely. The colors and graphics are richer. The flip between home pages is very smooth and quick. Every app I have tried has worked flawlessly.
I should stipulate that I was running an essentially stock X with Froyo in its latest version, everything up-to-date. I am very pleased with the upgrade. It had a nice clean look and feel. Battery use seems about the same as it has been. All in all, a very simple transition with very pleasing results.:)

I've seen this too. Kind of weird. Fight know what to make of it. Also seeing a texting error. If I start a text, back out before sending it (it saves as a draft), go back to it and finish it, then send it... It sends. But, when I hit the back button, I go back to the draft I have already completed and sent.
 
I have noticed that my DX no longer reboots when I connect it to my PC via USB anymore. Yay!!!!!
 
From reading the majority of the comments here it doesn't really sound like the best idea to take this update. I've tried a few times and keep getting installation error. Im not rooted but am running Bootstrap...wonder if this might be the issue.
 
gotten to spend a few days with the update. love the UI tweaks and look for the most part. really like the revamped dialer and app drawer. might actually end up keeping this thing stock for a while (who am i kidding? :p).

only annoying bug that has cropped up it that after making a phone call in the car dock, for some reason, once i take it off, the phone defaults to speakerphone mode. minor inconvenience though
 
I updated my DroidX this morning, but now it can no longer access the SD card. Worked great right up to that point. Even tried reformatting the SD card. Still nothing. :(

That'd be because the default mode to answer whilst in cardock mode IS speakerphone.

Some guy got lazy and forgot to put in a line of code to make it auto-off.




Moving on:

I was on .588 for awhile. So, I will cover the differences from that leak to the current REAL official build (as most people are probably already aware of the obvious changes from froyo to ginger)

Sadly there was no easy way for non-rooted users to upgrade their software. So just as many did I had to use RSD lite and SBF BACK to froyo, then pull the OTA.

It was okay, minus several apps in the market not existing to that specific build. Thankfully this newest build fixed all of that.

It was also slow on the keyboard. To the point that I could type out two sentences before the phone actually inputted it. It would buffer the whole dang thing. Very annoying when you find out you made a typo a paragraph back 0_o; Thankfully that has also been fixed.

Overall speed has also improved from .588. That is a big plus as it would lock down easily.

I didn't have any problems with maps E/W switching. Only with my actual GPS receiver going on the fritz. I blame .588 for this, as it has now been solved. (despite the ignorance of the verizon wireless employee who told me my phone wasn't a "satellite" phone and had NO GPS communication, idiot).

So my speed is up, all my apps are compatible. My amazon store had all my apps in it no problem (Although the market didn't re-download ALL of my old apps, just a strange selection of them. Oddly lacking facebook and such). My GPS is working like a charm.

So there we go
 
Update has been working great for me since I pulled it in last night. My phone is running the best it has ever ran. To the people who cant get it to work without getting an error you can't be rooted or froze any bloatware and can not have any thing remaining from bootstrap. Best thing to do is sfb back then it should work. Did mine a few weeks ago.
