Android has gotten more powerful than ever and more complaints from users who want an update. The Motorola Droid X to Android 2.2 had problems acknowledged by Motorola, causing the company to work on another update. Now Droid 2 users are demanding an update for Voice Action security flaws and other annoying glitches.
Update 10/18/10 - There are rumors that Motorola and Verizon will be pushing out an update to Droid 2 that fixes Microsoft Exchange issues, similar to the Droid X update. A support tech instant messaged a customer that the update to 2.3.15 for the Droid 2 has been released.
A Droid 2 user reported that voice commands initiated from holding the search key or the soft keyboard key work even when the Droid 2 is locked. At the "enter your passcode screen," when either key is held and voice command is made, the Droid 2 executes the command, such as "call Joe." The problem was first reported in the official Droid 2 Forum by Motorola.
Problems reported in the Droid 2 Forum with the Droid 2 include:
- Email syncing problems.
- Media player freezes.
- Microsoft Exchange compatibility issues.
- Issues with multiple email accounts.
- Security flaw of Google Actions usable on the lock screen.
- Bluetooth glitches.
- Wi-Fi issues in WPA2 AES, but works with WEP.
Droid 2 owners are requested to join the Motorola feedback network to help fix the problems.
The well-reviewed Droid 2 comes in a basic black model and a special limited-edtion Droid R2-D2 with special Star Wars content.
