Please list Droid X froyo bugs, problems, glitches

Only issue I have after a factory reset is you can't add a speed dial contact from the dialer screen. You can only add a speed dial from the contact screen. The leaked 2.2 also had this issue.

There is a free app on the market called move to SD i think i used to have it on my original droid, it searches yoru phones and find all the apps that can be moved so you dont have to spend all that time your self, but i dont care much about moving stuff anymore because the X has so much built in space.
And some apps become slower, like my Dolphin browser because way too laggy. hope this helps. :)

I have downloaded a TON of apps from the Market (well, somewhere in the neighborhood of 50... maybe that's not a TON compared to other people) and still my Mini-Info display panel shows that I currently have 6 gigs of memory left out of 6.5 total gigs of memory... so why move all of my apps to the SD card? To save that .5 gigs that are being used right now? Seems rather counter productive to me. But hey, to each his own. ;)
 
I love the shorter vibrate on the keyboard and the fact that I can think of two websites whose flash videos I can view. But...that's about it.

Overall, the phone seems a bit slower. Motoblur is less responsive, and the browser is definitely not as responsive. My biggest complaint: Trying to call someone. The fastest way to dial someone's number is to press the physical search button. With 2.2, I press the button and start typing someone's name, and their contact info will come up for about a second, but then it goes away from that screen and goes to the ENTIRE CONTACT LIST SEARCH SCREEN! I have about 1100 contacts on my phone!

This is obviously a bug and will hopefully be fixed soon via a patch. A few more wishes:

1. Why not add an auto-cc on the mail client?
2. Why not let me mark all as read more easily?
3. Why is browsing through photos not as fluid?
4. Why not include some sort of frickin' sync software for Outlook?!

And there's plenty more...
 
The update is a mixed bag. I wonder if the D2 experience is this bad. This is a mess!

Market is so slow its unusable!
Music player crashes the whole system.
Missing apps.
Everything is a step slower.

Thats all I can remember because I'm using my D1 again. I cant afford my device to be that unreliable! Verizon can have this one back.

Good things:
Flash works great.
New Gallery.
Camera interface
New gmail
 
I fixed mine by switching to one of the standard profiles and a phone reset, I got the bug from making a custom battery profile, it may be that caused it. Works fine now!
 
The battery warning now when low goes from like 15% to nothing and shuts the phone off right after a low battery warning. Looks like when i plug it in and hit the power button it doesnt show me the batter life picture.
 
OK...
FB pictures won't go across phone, only contact list
MP3s are working fine one minute then are unsupported the next minute (same files too)
SMS are out of order

I did a hard reset, didn't do shit except waste my time. Just got off the horn with VZW tech support. He couldn't help either... I'm going to try and take everything off of my card and format it in the phone then add everything back in. Maybe Froyo reads the SD card different or something.
 
and another one: ringtones stopped working ENTIRELY. no matter which one I selected, it was an annoying beep. pulling the battery fixed the problem, but that's the 3rd battery pull in as many days...
 
I am having issues since installing the Official Froyo 2.2 update. The time stamp is WAY off by like 4 hours in Chomp SMS - well for messages I send the time stamp appears fine but when I receive a reply to the message I send it appears before the message I send in the thread! WTF!

Also I use the Launcher Pro Facebook Widget, this morning I updated my status via the widget and got confirmation Post Successful BUT when I look at my wall feed on the widget it shows that that specific post was posted YESTERDAY at 7pm instead of TODAY at 7am. If I go to m.facebook.com my post appears just fine like a newly posted status. This is driving me insane!

I've tried manually adjusting the time, battery pull, put it back on Automatic System Time and still the problem persists!

Anyone Help! :confused:

Oh BTW I am rooted

Music player crashes constantly. when I try to stop a song, or restart it. Requires a battery pull. I'm not loving the update.

Yeah, my music player did the same thing, Verizon obviously has some things to fix. In the meantime I downloaded MixZing for my music player....no crashes and very stable.

If I do a factory reset will this also wipe my contacts? If so, how do I back them up to reload them after a factory reset?
Click to expand...
yes, but when you add your google account back it should just sync and add them all back. I've done two hard resets in the past 3 days with no problem
 
When in dock mode, after I send a text and then return to the dock screen, the quick punctuation blocks are still displayed at the bottom of the screen. This happens about 75% of the time. They don't go away until I go back in to text another message. Anyone else having issues with this?
 
Worst problem is Wifi not behaving well. Was fantastic on 2.1. Not only does it not transfer data on wifi but it blocks the 3g from working when wifi is on.

Secondary issue is texts out of order. What's up with that?
 
I'm also having the sms timestamp issue. Also the contact history issue is not fixed. I'm still seeing messages from July that have long been deleted in the contac history.
 
What is the timestamp issue people are referring to? My text aren't in any order, but the timestamps are accurate. Is that what the issue is?
 
after a day of my droid x getting stuck on moto logo on powerup VZ tech support had me reformat phone to factory and when I reboot the minty fresh phone it is stuck on moto logo on power up. lol. They are sending me a new one. Tech guy said some X's were bricked due to the update and would not get out of the boot screen.
