Okay... so back ontopic, why do we think moto is pulling their announcements? It happened on twitter to, they commented on how 2.1 would roll out this week, but then their post got deleted

Could be a couple of things.

Moto's change log is incorrect and VZW wants it changed.

VZW wants to test the build longer.

I think it is a combination of both.

Then why is facebooks still up?

No idea.....all I know is that VZW was prepping for something to occur today and it appears that them, meaning Moto, taking their tweet and changelog down was it.

Obviously this was going to cause the call centers at VZW to be flooded and they knew this? Is this what they were preparing for? I don't know that answer...

The only thing I want is the phone to run like it did with 2.0. I saw a complete drop in performance when I updated to 2.0.1 especially with web browsing. If 2.1 can fix that and add some cool features I'll be happy. Flash would be nice too.

I could honestly care less about 2.1. All I want is my damn caller to not tell me I sound like my hand is over my mouth when talking to them. The clarity on my phone is horrible. Also, yesterday was the first time I had an extensive conversation with someone on the droid, and my battery died during the conversation. (42 minutes). This was coming straight off the charger.

p1ngputts, that really shouldnt happen. Have you tried to check your battery status to see what is eatting up your charge? You can do this under settings, about phone, battery use. My biggest 3 battery drains are Voice Calls, Display and Wi-Fi.

I know I have talked for several hours without issue on my Droid, I am using the stock 2.0.1. The other possible option is if you don't have an app draining your battery, you might just have a bad battery. If this is the case, VZ should replace it for you.

My biggest 3 are...
Phone idle 29%
Cell standby 19%
Android system 6%

I'm more upset about the call clarity. Droid is naked atm and have tried all recommended settings in my call settings.

+1, THIS!

Of all my gripes this is the biggest. If I get told I sound like I'm speaking through a blanket again I'm gonna flip. :icon_evil:

 

[SSHGuru]

People don't even know when I'm calling from the droid - they think it's a landline.

You have a hardware or software issue.

I had a friend call me from his droid to my landline and after about 20 min he said he was talking to me over the speakerphone - I had no idea - thats how GOOD the droid can and should be.

Hummm sounds like you might have a bad battery then. You should consider bringing it by a Verizon Store and getting a replacement. While you are there, ask them where our 2.1 update is :icon_ banana:

 

[SSHGuru]

Wouldn't it be great if they told us extra screens and all the other stuff were coming soon after this date to be announced?

Then we could have a thread like this going on for 10,000 pages.:icon_ banana:
