2.3.340 is here! Post your experiences

Just got my Droid X today (3 days after Fed Ex expected it to be here), and I'm installing 2.3.340 right now, no problems so far. So far, works better than the Samsung Captivate I tried with AT&T a few weeks ago. I'm happy.:)
 
also, since the update i have had phone issues that i never experienced before. when i first boot the phone in the morning after being off and charging at night, i try and make a call and hear no ringing and can not hear the other person if it connects. if i receive a call (it rings) and i pick it up, i also can not hear the person. i reboot again and the problem disappears. happened both days since the "upgrade". this is not a fluke.
 
I have not noticed a difference in anything performance wise since the update!
 
Stock phone with Launcher Pro and I've had two random reboots that I'm aware. These are the first that I've ever had.

My phone just rebooted a few minutes ago, so now its happened three times. When it restarted my Fancy Widgets clock came up with no numbers and phone was locked up so I had to power down and restart. I'm definitely not a fan of this update. Phone was flawless prior to this update and if this continues I'm going to be squawking to Verizon.

Just had my first real bug with this update today. Attempted to make a call, phone locked up for a good 10 seconds after clicking the contacts number to call. I clicked the number 2-3 times and it didn't do anything but I was still able to "click" it (animation and all still played, but the call didn't start). Just as I was getting ready to attempt to shut down the phone the call decided to start. Since then it has been working flawlessly though, might be a bug with dialer one or something though as I do use that to replace the stock phone app.
 
I still cannot update. Either the circle just keeps spinning while checking for the update or it says "check for update not available"


Should I un-root?

Exact same issues here. Reboots when disconnected from charger and today, it just rebooted out of nowhere. My phone before this was flawless, too, and never had a reboot.

Not happy.

I've read this on lots of different forums and some believe it might be launcher pro. I may freeze it and see if anything changes.

I updated with the leaked update file before the public release. Before the update I was getting a lot of lag and drag, and I would have to reboot and clean the cache at least once a day.

After the update, it was like I had a new phone. The lag was gone, and the phone felt pretty zippy. I also haven't seen a random reboot since the update.

It's now been several days since the update, and the lag and drag has started to creep back into the phone. I guess I need to try to figure out what is affecting my phone.

Query: Can having too many apps installed, even if most of them are not being actively used, affect the overall performance of the phone?

Did you sbf directly to it or sbf back to 2.1 and then OTA?

Same deal here...it's not a fluke! :mad:
 
Update went without a problem and was very fast.

After the update I again got the failure to connect to my Wi-Fi (continual "Connecting..... Authenticating.... Disconnecting....") like I got when going from 2.1 to 2.2. Only thing that fixed that was changing my router from "Mixed" to "G Only". So far, the only fix this time around is to CHANGE IT BACK to "Mixed" AND to set SSID to be broadcast instead of hidden.

Otherwise, I have not noticed any other problems yet.

Well, my battery life isn't near as good. I'm usually ~10.5 hours before I hit 70%. I just now hit 70% at 7.5 hours.

Odd, my battery life was at 70% yesterday after 12.5 hours. Where you playing RoboDefense or Madden all day? They are fun but do a number on the battery :)
 
I was having the random reboot glitch also about every 10mins non-stop. Did a factory reset, and haven't had any problems since. That might help for some of you.

Just downloaded my X to 2.3.34 - I haven't noticed anything newer except for the Gmail upgrades which I think Gmail pushed out right before the system upgrade. I did see the Madden app in my applications folder. I won't play with that until I'm in range of a WIFI.

i need some recommendations for apps though....

I want a music player that I can control from the lock screen - any suggestions?

Can your lock screen wallpaper be different from your regular screen wallpaper? Is there an app for that?

the default music player on my droidx allows me to control from lock screen.

I am still unable to update to the new OS (for whatever reason, as I am non-rooted...but I digress), but the problem you've mentioned has happened to me several times on the 2.3.15 build (Android OS 2.2). I really thought I was the only person this was happening to, but I have no clue if this is due to any installed application conflicts or another fluke. But it doesn't seem to be directly related to the update.
