Android 2.1 Update Rolls Out For Motorola Droid!

[scottowa]

I love it so far!

Just got it today 4/3 and I love the pinch zoom and especially the speech text entering. This rocks!

Search really isn't helping here so I'm asking....If I do the manual update, it's exactly like the OTA, right? I mean, when the scheduled OTA update arrives, my Droid won't do anything odd? Also, doing the manual update won't cause a block of a future update, is this correct?

Just a reminder everyone. We're talking about the roll out not rooting. If you've rooted your Droid and you're happy with it, discuss it in the General Discussion thread that's fine. Just not in here or any of the 2.1 discussions.

400,000+ down..... plus or minus 1,000,000 to go

How do you wipe your phone if it won't boot?

Is this an issue? You can't boot?

I received my notification of 2.1 (actually 2.1 mod. 1) about 12:30PM today, loaded it and rebooted with no problems.

I'm wading through the changes now.

Definitely only three screens.

I received my notification of 2.1 (actually 2.1 mod. 1). . .

Yours actually says "mod 1"? Mine says "2.1-update1". Is there a diff?

Just a difference in what he typed.

Stock Gallery app is gone

My wife got the update this morning. When tapping the Gallery icon on the home screen a message pops up saying "this application is not installed on this phone". Anyone know how to get the application (or the new version) back?

I've read many of the previous posts in this thread but would still like to clarify:

My phone right now has "Firmware version 2.0.1" and "Build number - DroidMod 164 (1.0)". I keep getting those update notifications for Android 2.1. If I upgrade using that, is it possible that it would mess up my phone seeing as I have DroidMod or will everything go smoothly?

Thanks a lot

I haven't recieved the update yet. I have been following the forums and the question about doing a factory reset has been asked multiple times. I have not seen any answers to that question. So does anyone know if a factory reset should be done before installing the update or doesn't it matter? (Sorry if someone answered this already, I didn't see it anywhere)

I received the notification and hit the upgrade button and the phone did the rest. I didn't do anything to prepare for it first.

Keep in mind that I've installed only a couple of apps and did not root the machine. I'll wait to see what's up with 2.1 for a while before I consider that.

The same happened to me. Its because the shortcut on your desktop points to an app that is no longer there -- new version. Just long-press and drag it to the trash, then add it again.
