Motorola acknowledged that there are glitches in the Android 2.2 Froyo update for the Droid X. "Issues" include the "M" screen of death, random rebooting, Wi-Fi connection problems, media not playing and music cut offs in the the recent update on the Droid X to Froyo 2.2.
In a Motorola forum post, Motorola admitted that, with the new capabilities of Froyo, there are also new "issues." "Issues" are listed, but the list is not intended to be a complete list at this time. There are many more fixes and improvements in the works.
Our readers already know that we experienced the "M" freeze screen issue and had to factory reset our demo unit of the Droid X. Another problem that has occurred after the factory reset is the Droid X sometimes freezes on the "M" screen and never starts. A Verizon store rep suggested that we return the Droid X for a replacement.
Here's the list of Droid X Updates to Android 2.2 "Issues" and Glitches:
- Stuck on Moto logo after reboot - this was tough on a few owners. Very sorry about that. A fix has been developed for this and should eliminate the problem. It will be distributed in a future software release.
- Random rebooting - while there always seem to be new conditions that can cause an electronic device to panic, we do have improvements coming that address and eliminate identified panic states. They will be distributed in a future software release.
- Wi-Fi connection and stability - improvements in Wi-Fi have been developed to address several problem areas. They will be distributed in a future software release.
- Battery Manager "force close" errors - under some circumstances, pressing the battery icon under Menu > Settings > Battery Manager results in a forced close error. A fix has been developed for this, which should eliminate the problem. It will be distributed in a future software release.
- Media won't play - includes "sorry the player does not support this type of audio file," custom ringtone stop working, video won't play, etc., until after a reboot. We believe we have identified the cause of these errors. A fix has been developed for this and should eliminate the problem. It will be distributed in a future software release.
- Music files cutting off the final four seconds or so - a solution has been developed. It will be distributed in a future software release.
Motorola is working on the issues and will be sending out updates in the future.
