I've followed all the advice I could find on this board in helping out my X (got very laggy after the 2.2 update) and it really helped out my DX. It's very peppy now, works virtually flawlessly and has impressed the pants off of me. And then.....
Was at a social event last night, talking with a few people one had a Windows mobile phone, two had iPhones and another had the EVO. So while everyone was comparing their device with everyone elses my phone suddenly decided it didn't want to work. WTF??? I was particularly embarrassed in front of the iPhone couple because they said they bought the iPhones because they operated so smoothly and glitch free. I retorted, "well I understand that when Android came out the OS was brand new and experienced a lot of growing pains. However they have made great leaps and strides and now I feel are on par with anything else on the market". I then showed them my different home screens... while scrolling through them they suddenly started acting atrociously choppy, absolutely refusing to do just about anything I instructed them to do... ARRRRRGGG!!!!!
The harder I tried the worse it got, I try to open an app, and when it wouldn't respond I would hit another one... a few seconds later it would launch the original app I tried to open, close it, then open the second app, freeze... screen went black... then the eye popped up, the damn thing had reset itself. OMG I felt like throwing the thing up against the wall!!!
Like I said, this never happens to it ever since formatting my SD card, clearing off the widgets and shortcuts from my original home screen along with a host of other things. I chalk it up to bad timing, but my God how could the timing have been THAT off??? I mean Christ right when I'm trying to impress some Apple fans that Android is a legit option on the phone market it wants to act like this??? Does Apple have some sort of app on the market that sends out a jamming signal to Android phones or something?
I haven't felt that foolish since the backside of my swimming trunks ripped out while I was at the public swimming pool when I was 15 years old and I was the very last person at the pool to become aware of the fact. I'm ok now, my cell phone isn't the center of my universe or anything like that. However I'm sure if those two frequent any iPhone forums they certainly must have posted up how much better their phones are in comparison to the Droid X.
Not happy to have given anyone else ammunition like that to fire away at Android.
