My wife and I both have droids (a855). The 2.2.2 update notification came to us about a week ago... wer're not rooted... The update installed on my wife's phone, however for me, the update failed to install. Here is what happened next:
Me: That was the day that I last received any notifications that there were app updates available. Basically after that I never got another notification for anything at all. I waited over 48 hours for the FRG83G update notification after the first failure... (VZW support said I'd get another one... yeah, right) but it never came. I successfully installed manually however after downloading the update.zip from another thread posted by a reputable member. I've now watched as various apps (market->my apps) indicate that there are updates... but I no longer get any notification of any kind on the notification bar at the top of the screen (or whatever you call it). My default ringtone got changed... but I now have four apps waiting in the update queue with nary a notification in sight. I've done battery pulls, reboots, and yes I know about the setting that turns notifications off... it's ON.
My Wife: (she was able to install the thing via ota)
Ringtones scrambled, market->my apps shows NOTHING in the list (it says "no downloads from Android Market"... a LIE). Account sync (email and facebook) went from "on" to "off" (I had to turn them back on!). If I search up one of the apps she has on her phone... (eg. google maps) it says there's an update... but again NO notification ever occurs! The downloaded apps in settings->applications is sure as heck populated with stuff but NOTHING in the market's my apps setting!
I suspect notifications on both our phones are hosed... can anyone give me insight or direction on:
1) any setting I've not been smart enough to find that deals with app update notification... I'm concerned with the basic update mechanism for both Market and the OS...
2) How to get my wife's bleeping downloaded app list to reappear in the my apps market setting...
I'm a bit befuddled by the 'goins on here and really have a wag of the finger to Moto and VZW.... as to how such a tiny little crappy update can wreak so much havoc on a phone... when we've gone thru three major updates (2.1, FRG22 and FRG83D) without a scratch...
Any info is gratefully appreciated!
