New Findings and Fixes thread for Droid 2.0.1 OTA updates

You guys do realize that Google Navigation is in beta and not a final release version right? Complaining at this point is like complaining you have issues after taking a car from the factory before it's done being built. Yeah the car might start and drive, but your seatbelts and/or radio might not be installed. Wait till the app is in a release version before complaining about it's lack of features. Not saying they'll add what you're saying is missing but be patient and thankful Google was nice enough to release it in an unfinished state.

You realize that you don't buy a car from the factory until it's finished, right? Navigation was one of Verizon's top selling points for the Droid. Expecting it to be a finished product is pretty damn reasonable in my opinion. If it's beta, not advertised as such, you have every right to complain.

Anyway, making known what features you want is the only way to get them added.

I think the phone is much quicker now...I run GDE home replacement and it works amazing now - before it was a little laggy.

Here are my two issues:

1. When I plug in the charger (the one that came with the phone) and I am holding the phone vertically it will start charging, and then I can lay it horizontally. BUT if I am holding the phone horizontally and I plug in the charger it doesn't start charging.....anyone else having this issue???

2. When the charging meter reaches 90% it stops moving and just sits there...makes me feel like it stopped charging even though the lightning bolt is still there...

When my charger is plugged in it never show the lightning bolt but is does charge (says sharging on the home screen when locked)

Last night when my Droid informed my it was going to update its operating system and restart itself that was good news, I said ok the phone shut down and went into brick mode. I thought maybe it was working so I let it go but its been 12 hours now.......Another phone is already on its way.

I'm having a contact 'issue' now too. I posted in another area, but now I'm thinking this may have come about because of the upgrade?

I sent myself some pictures I wanted to use for contacts. I saved the pix to the SD card, then went there to attach them to contacts. All was well until I went to check them out in the contacts - and I can't find those contacts anywhere! What's up with that?

[MrTommy]

Holy crap! I just went back to check out my contact list again - and is says "You don't have any contacts to display:.. WHAT?

My favorites are there, but nothing else.

[MrTommy]

Ok, I went to contacts, where it told me I had none (all of a sudden). I did the 'Import/Export" thing, and for the hell of it, hit the "Export in from SD card" (because, what did I have to lose?). Well, low and behold it starts importing 130 contacts. The missing contacts! Now, how they got on the SD card is beyond me, but they're back, and I'm a damned happy camper!!!

WOW!!! My DROID updated at 5:40 AM this morning. I just read thru this entire thread. I have checked for every issue being mentioned here, and I am not experiencing a single one of them.

[MrTommy]

Well, aside from that 'glitch' with my contact list, I haven't had any problems. Then again, I've only had my phone since last Monday and have only downloaded two apps. I've not had enough time to do huge customizations - yet. I'm still pressing and groping and, uh, cussing, as I learn how to make this thing jump through its hoops.

I downloaded the manual, and even that doesn't cover everything. I LOVE this forum!

I run an app called Task Panel, and basically it's like task killer only it will stop running all apps with a single push of the button. Yes, I know it's not necessary. You've got your theory's, I've got mine.

Anyway I noticed since the up date the available amount of app memory is no where near what it was since before the update. Where I was seeing 110 mb on the app memory I'm now seeing 80 mb tops.

I also noticed that when all apps are running the app memory isn't dropping as low as it did previously. Like it's doing an even better job of managing memory.
