~OFFICIAL: FRG01B FroYo Issues/Solutions Thread~

[solar]

Redraws are the bane of FroYo installs. There is no 100% working solution for anyone. All we can really do at the moment is experiment and hope.

Are you using a lot of widgets, by any chance?

I'm originally only had two on the main home screen, BatteryLeft and a Curvefish silent mode widget.

On another screen I have the stock power widget and Smooth Calander widget.

I have a number of folder shortcuts as well. Though I've had most of these widgets since before I had major lag. Maybe its a combo of all the widgets, and low onboard memory. I'm always right around the point where it starts to bug you (25+/-Mb). I'm generally using a less intensive live wallpaper also (the stock sky and grass one).

Redraws happen even for people with no widgets, but anything eating up active memory will make them happen more. To wit: widgets, live wallpapers, oversized wallpapers, etc. If the redraws are an issue you'll need to start cutting back on the excesses.

Ever since installing 22d last night my e-mail set up through active sync is failing due to security errors. Anyone have any ideas? Should i delete the account and try again, roll back 22d? Any help appreciated.

Delete the account and set it back up -- at the very least double-check the security settings and password. Without rooting you can't roll back unless you flash SBF files and not only will you erase your phone and have to set it back up, you'll STILL be force-updated to 22D. Also, try a different e-mail app if you continue to have issues.

I have already tried that and now it is force closing the email app every time i try to add an e-mail account.

I am really not in the mood to factory reset but it was what i needed to do after the last upgrade as well.

I had the same issue when I upgraded to FRG22D, as did others. Seach for a program called Improved Email in the market. Its basicaly the same as the stock email except, not broken. I tried it and it works. However, I decided I didn't like having my pattern lock disabled by the default Activesync policy, so i'm testing out Touchdown, which it working out well.

My thread was closed and linked here to an 80 page hodgepodge .
Very strange move by the super moderator if you ask me. Separate threads with titles pertaining specific issues helps people find solutions faster IMO. Just saying .

Just started having issues with my Driod for the first time but it all started with the most recent update about 2 weeks ago. My battery doesn't last, apps not working correctly. Each day I continue to find more issues. Again, this all started once I did the phone updates about 2 weeks ago. I've had my Motorola Driod for almost a year now and this is the very first time I have experienced any issues. Is anyone else having this problem?

There seem to be many problems associated with 2.2. The only ones that I have found are that the media player won't play wmv movies any more and when I initiate a BT call, the screen comes on. With the Droid in my pocket, it turns off BT and sometimes switches to speaker. Battery and speed don't seem to have been affected, but some people say they are having battery problems. Oh, one other thing related to the battery. One of the battery monitoring apps takes forever to load, so I just uninstalled it.

Are you running a task killer? If so, disable it. They have been known to cause battery drain in 2.2.

What apps are not working? have you tried uninstalling and re-installing any of them? Only Swype stopped working for me in 2.2 and a re-install fixed it.

Have you tried doing a factory data reset to solve these issues? The update is getting blamed for many issues, but the reality of it is people aren't taking care of their Droid with regular maintenance, i.e. cache cleaning. A Factory Data Reset will fix this. If it doesn't then you should be talking to Verizon because it's their update and it's not suppose to cause you issues. You have a warranty, use it if necessary.
