Unreal...

The camcorder still sucks. It racks focus even more now then ever.

Does anyone know any course of action I can take to return this phone to verizon? I am past 14 days, this is my second replacement.

The way I look at it Im stuck NEVER using this as a video recorder. Unless there is a 3rd party app I can use to shoot video. anybody know of one?

My camera is just as slow, but it seems to have fixed a quirk where the zoom slider would disappear and never come back. The volume buttons work as zoom buttons, which the documentation claimed but never worked on my phone either.

I received my update at noon today. It has been crazy busy at work so I have not had much time to see any changes but one thing I have noticed is that the battery seems to have improved a lot.

Yeah my phone died today finally after 18 hrs of normal use with the new update. A big thing is cell standy doesn't use as much battery anymore.

So far the update seems to have solved my camera issues. Pictures have much more color now. The car mode is also snappier which I wasn't expecting. Can't wait to see how the battery life is.

What ya mean by car mode?

 

[spillner]

The car dock mode. If you have the cradle to put your phone in it, it activates the car mode.

I was wondering what I am doing wrong I go into the system update and I keep getting an error saying I need a Motorola service account and when I hit setup it times out?

I keep getting the same message. You get your issue resolved?

For me the battery life has improved tremendously.

Battery stats could get messed up after an OS update. I am due for a run down/full charge cycle (it's been at least a month) so I think I'll do that just to be sure about any changes in battery life.

So glad to hear there has been an update. I went from a D3 and am testing out an X2 for a week and have till Oct 4th if I wanna switch back. Did the update really solve the camera issues (blue tint, shutter speed, color saturation)? Also- someone mentioned the camcorder is still crappy. I also heard that in-call quality (volume, clarity) has been improved. Really excited to know if these issues have been solved as I must admit I miss using the physical keyboard for web surfing when the touch screen is being sensitive or unresponsive.

I heard the update breaks root? Is this true.

I've heard it does break root, but can be rerooted the same way it was initially.
