New OS: My phone is ridicuously slow now.

Have you tried to do a factory reset on it? I recall reading that doing a factory reset alongside an OS update will often give you the best results. Might be some Froyo ghosts haunting your phone here.

 

I had a similar problem, and exceptionally short battery life (17 hours or less on a full charge on a brand new long life battery).
The Verizon store couldn't figure out why my battery life was so bad so they suggested a reset.
It seems to be working better now, and the battery life has improved, but I am not impressed with it, it is still no better than the original battery was before the upgrade.
Just make sure ALL of you data is backed up somewhere. I lost my entire B-Folders database (I thought it saved to the SD card, but I was wrong).
Does anybody else have battery life issues with the update? All of the non D2 apps were wiped out, and I have only restored a few of them, so things like the Go weather app are not running all the time and updating information every hour. I am not getting any better life than I did with the factory battery, and I am running a long life battery now.

I had issues with the battery life only lasting about 6-8 hours wheer prior I could get an easy 14. I called Verizon and explained I had already tried to do a power reset, update the latest battery saver (Juice Defender for me) and it was still bad. My wife and I have the exact phones and hers was doing the same. Without even a discussion, they provided 2 batteries to us. They said that would solve our issues. Unfortunately since last weekend, our phones have gone to a crawl. Its very frustrating. I love the new features, but doesn't anyone test these? After reading online, I find I'm not alone and there are a lot of people experiencing the exact same problems. I will try a factory reset after I back up all of my info. Any help is appreciated.

 

Ok, ive had many of these same issues with my droid 2 since thhis new ui update..i want to do a factory reset, or sbf....ive searched a bit through the forum, but because of the update, it keeps crashing before i can pick through all the info. So, hopefully someone can help. First, how do i back up my phone? Im new to the phone game, but i thought all my stuff was backed up via my google acct? Next, how do i do an sbf?
