As titled, I installed the leaked OTA tonight for the 720p recorder, boot animation, etc. It did reboot 3 times initially right after the update but I was expecting that.
I waited about 30 minutes for good measure and then restored all of my apps and data with Titanium. Ever since then my phone has been rebooting itself for no reason. I have noticed that it does it more when I am launching certain programs. For a while it was just rebooting one right after the other and the home screen never came available, it just had a Loading... notification. Once it finally did load the home screen it looked like the Weatherbug was struggling to load and as soon as I click on it, the phone shuts off.
I uninstalled the app and it hasn't been rebooting as much but for a phone that has never ever had one problem I'm kind of inconvenienced by this.
Has anyone else out there experienced anything like this where the phone just keeps rebooting? It's like every minute I was hearing "Drooooid."
Any intuition on the subject would be appreciated tremendously.
Worse case scenario I have to do a Nand restore I guess...

Why update to something that hasn't been officially released?
Also GPS enabled makes it reboot. Guess there is no salvaging this one. I'll be waiting for Froyo to come OTA. Screw all this nonsense

Why flash a rom? Why root?
The reboots are caused by seomthing you restored in Titanium, not the OTA.
I figured as much, but at this point its going to be easier to just wait for the official update. I got my taste of it for now. I do like the news widget though on the update. Good stuff
Hey werent you from Android forums?

I posted a nandroid backup of stock post ota, its way down this thread by now. Try downloading and restoring it to see if that can fix ur problems, just be careful what u restore with titanium.

yeah. just do a fresh wipe and use the phone for a while to see if you get reboots. it is most likely an app causing the issue.
Waiting
I apparently rooted my phone without knowing about it because unrevoked.com makes it waaaay too easy.
After installing the leaked OTA, my wifi, gps, bt, and camera stopped working. Thank the lord almighty I created a nandroid backup.
Based on the rumor from droidedup this morning that they are halting these OTA updates for a couple of weeks and releasing Froyo, I suggest you unroot, go back to your previous version and wait for Froyo.
I did do a nand backup before I pushed the OTA so I had something to revert to and now my phone is back to full functionality.
Yes, undoubtedly we have all heard about Froyo 'coming soon,' but again I will believe it when I see it and there's no chance of me unrooting before the update is officially out.
And I know a lot of people are claiming that they're going to wait until unrevoked can "fix" it (froyo) for those root users, but not me. I'd rather have Froyo and no root than the opposite. It's like waiting for Christmas morning and then when everyone else is opening up their goodies, you unwrap an IOU that says "we're still working on yours."
Not me.
Sorry, Charlie.
Lol, I'm sure they will figure out how to root again, if its any different of a process at all. Hopefully HTC realizes that a lot of people are chosing their handsets over Motorola simply because their phones can be rooted. Why mess with a good thing?

hey guys turns out after i failed update about 30 times i tried some tweaking and erased the radio file. when i spoke to verizon about the problems and to get a replacement phone the rep told me the update was for 2.2 and that they been waiting for it to come out. i dont know how true this is cuz i havent seen the fireworks yet online about the update, but ill find out today when i get the replacement device.
They have been telling people for months that 2.2 was out and you will receive a notification on your phone. I was told that when I bought mine on launch day. Its commonly referred to as bull Ishmael.

I had a similar problem. My phone downloaded it but failed the install. I called Verizon and they said this is a common problem. I am getting a new (Not refurb) shipped to me within a week. No harm no foul. I'd call Verizon.
My phone failed about 10 times to get DI01, and then one time it just worked. I recommend being stationary in an area with a few bars of 3G. Even then, it's a crapshoot. It doesn't mean your phone is defective or in need of replacement.
I consider myself lucky to have gotten a phone that has so far been free of the most of the problems that have plagued many of the galaxy s phones. Gps was fantastic on my phone until I flashed super clean v4... For some reason I often, though not always, had problems with gps not locking on. Location has always been spot on right from the start. Now with dj05 the gps issue has also been non existent.
The same was true when di01 came out. The OTA update was as smooth as could be. I was not rooted at that time.

Some of us can't install though and according to the Verizon tech I called it's certain MEID numbers so it's still not a bad idea to call I would say.
When I got DI01 it got partway through downloading a zillion times before finally working.
Ive flashed back to my factory images a few times after messing around (they were pre DI01...I keep forgetting to make current ones)
Every time I update it sucks and takes 5 to 10 tries
I think the servers are just teh suck.
Do you have to be stock in order to get the update? Every time I try to check for an update I get an FC. I'm currently running Stupidfast 1.1.23 Kernel & JT's Super Clean ROM. Also, is this update worth getting now or shall I just wait?
Can someone pls post the new voicemail update on here. I can't update the voicemail for some reason. It says mandatory update available but then it says no update available. I found the old APk but not the new one. It's Cm-android.com. Thanks
Just did this today. Had same issue. I downloaded I think the add-on zip file from bonsai rom. Pulled it out and adb'd it /system/app. Worked great.

i have the same issue as the OP... lookign for the newest apk for the voicemail please...the sooner the better so i can fix my phone or get a new one from sprint tomorrow morning
Same problem here originally thought it was because I had flashed back to 2.1 via odin do at least I know I'm not crazy now

This can't be our phones can it? It has to be a problem with the stock rom or something cause I could dl it no problem on epic experience on eclair.

Did you call them or are you just gonna go in? Let me know if you get a brand new or refurb? Intook mine in today to a repair and they want to Order me one. Guessing it's a refurb right?
hey op, ill let you know... but if someone can rip the newest voicemail apk for us, we would be set.... i know some people that work at sprint, so i can most likely get a new one...but going in is a hassle for my schedule....
so including myself, its 3 of us with the same issue... some people are saying that the voicemail wont be working until late feb 2011??! how the hell is that possible.... its something on sprints end i think... i reflashed my phone with odin maybe like 2 weeks ago....back to stock 2.1 also...i didnt have this issue..the reason i redid my phone again today was because i froze it with adding a dumb battery mod which was suppose to be for froyo... so now i redid my entire phone back to stock and i have the voicemail issue
I wouldn't worry too much about it. DK28 had the updated Voicemail built in so I assume that the DL11 build of Froyo will have it too. If that dec 26th date is to be believed then we only have a few days to put up with it's notification (yes, I'm in the same boat after using Odin to return to DI18).

I just got a second replacement today, same issue... I think though maybe mine is up to date and the updater is not recognizing. I just followed the regular vm setup, tried to dl update, it failed, I exited, hit end all in stock task manager, and it went away, knowing it would pop again I tried a reboot and its gone now. I know vm is jacked right now, and phone tech said it was backburnered due to a 'manufacturer system update rollout' issue (intercept?) Issue.... so I figure between intercept and our froyo, they're busy... but from what I gather, all vm is jacked, and in various ways... who spilt the coffe on the server again???
Or they may have pulled the file from the server, since we all SHOULD have it from a month ago, unless we have been playing w things we shouldn't...

thats funny you mentioned that.... i was thinking the same thing where sprint pulled it from their server.....but not sure of the reason....or it couldve been that their servers are all messed up right now...
btw, i tried your method of stopping the task on the program manager, then rebooted my phone...it comes back and you have to repeat the process...so it didnt work for me
so does anyone have the new version they can please rip from their phones?
Mine just update successfully give it a try people

I'm on dk28 so did anyone elses update fine?
yup..mine worked...it was most likely something on sprints end....i got it fixed this morning and it started downloading automatically!
Here you go...put it in /system/app
thanks, this will be saved for backup in the future if this happens again!
Here's my situation. Sent my I9000M to get repaired 6 weeks ago (SD Card failure), and it still hasn't come back. I've made enough stink about it that Bell just replaced it with a new one today.
My worry now is that I'm sitting on a ticking time bomb, and i just want to get it over with if the SD card is going to fail, so I'm thinking of installing the Froyo build that Bell pulled back. What do you guys think? If I do decide to do it, could you point me to where I could download the ROM, or if I can do a Kies registry hack?
Cheers
Personally I think they pulled it because of battery issues....when I upgraded originally my battery was dying like mad. All I did was wipe user data and cache and it fixed the issue.
I say do it, just wipe it before and when it reboots after wipe it again! I've flashed many times without an issue, only problem is if you do and it does **** then what do you say to bell lol I was doing the froyo update That you pulled?

My personal opinion is that it really doesn't have anything to do with the builds, and it's purely a hardware issue that is exacerbated by updating ROMs ... but what the hell do I know?
Lol we are just sheep they are testing these roms to see how many get bricked lol. You should use the reg hack but then you will be upgraded to 2.2.1.
I'm doing this tomorrow at work!

Can you point me to the reg hack that will work for it. Thanks!
Has anyone else here had issues with the Droid X having cellular network disconnect issues?
What I mean by this is that the 3G stops all together, you cannot make outbound calls or SMS messages. The 3G icon goes away, yet I can see bars on the antenna strength meter.
The only way to fix this is to reboot the phone, even putting in airplane mode doesn't work. It happens about every 1.5 to 2 days on this phone. I've factory reset it, gotten a replacement phone, etc.. Nothing works and it all started with the Gingerbread update.
I'm not the only one I can tell you that, many others on the moto forum are having it too.. https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/52111
I have an ADB logcat that I could send to some folks smarter than me if someone wants to look..

Another forum posting I've found..
Glad to see there are more people with the issue.. Now its getting Motorola to listen....
There must be something unique that you are doing. I burn about 2200 min a month of cell time, and I've had no issues.
Yeah that happens to me, I sbf back to froyo, and now I'm on liberty rom, no more cell disconnect

I'm to the point where I want to get away from Motorola all together.. This phone has always been quirky, now its just totally unreliable. I have an HTC incredible (CM7) and have 0 issues with this, so I know its not a cell reliability issue in my area.
I can tell you that I ran CM7 for a few days on the DX with no issues at all. However CM7 has a few other annoyances that the wife didn't want to deal with.
I'm working with Verizon and it sounds like they're to the point of offering up a different phone..
I was having a similar issue. Spent countless minutes on tech support with vzw, countless resets, even sent me a replacement phone and had the same issue. Determined it was google voice at fault. Had to do a factory reset from the moto bootloader (not from settings/privacy), and it finally solved the issue.
If you're using google voice, try getting rid of it, and disconnecting it from your phone.

Well, I don't use GV, but had it on my phone...
I've uninstalled, and rebooted (not factory wipe)...
I'll see how it goes...
I asked in the moto forum and one user responded so far saying that they have the issue but don't have google voice installed..
I had the same problem with OTA Gingerbread. Cyanogenmod 7 fixed all my problems. No lie.

Hi,I'm now having these issues and more since gingerbread. Sad thing is, I had NO issues with this phone while on froyo. Verizon wants to do a complete factory reset, but that means i'd lose everything on the phone. I have it all backed up, but it takes a while to set up the damn thing the way I have it. I feel if tat what Verizon recommends, they should help set it back up.

After dealing with the issue with Verizon they agreed to let me swap the phone out for a different phone. The only rule was no 4G or no iPhone. Right now we settled on the HTC Incredible 2. I have the original Incredible, while the HTC software isn't perfect, but at least I haven't had these issues..
Bye bye Motorola.. Another plus, if this HTC has issues, as least I can run CM7 easily now..
I had(?) the same problem
history:
before upgrading to 2.3.3 my Droid X was on Froyo and rooted. In fine noob fashion I deleted bloatware during that time without backing it up so when I attempted to updated to Gingerbread I was **** blocked.
The resolution was to SBF the phone back to stock Froyo then upgread to Gingerbread, it worked like a champ... sorta
I kept noticing that the phone was really sluggish on reboots, it also kept dropping the network connection, mostly when I moved out of a wifi hotspot, the 3G wouldn't connect, not until I rebooted. I tried a few things, uninstalled misc programs blah blah blah, some of it seemed to have worked temporarily but nothing was permanent.
So, yesterday, I did a Factory Data Reset, actually had to do it 3x's since the first 2 times somehow goofed the market so that it wouldn't download and install . But 3rd time was the winner and now everything seems resolved, no more whacked out loss data connections and faster reboots!
so my suggestion - Factory Data Reset
I totally agree. Vzw tier 1 tech support can be a waste of time. After taking 30 minutes to tell me to turn on wifi, one guy told me to right click on the settings menu. I told him it was a touch screen, does that mean I have to use my right hand?

I have the same problem on rooted OTA gingerbread. My solution for the time being is to setup tasker to reboot the phone at 3am everyday. If i go back to froyo the problems go away. I posted about this a while ago. It doesn't fix the problem it just masks it but I start with a fresh phone every morning.
I have the issue too, it started right after Gingerbread.
It was *really* bad until I re-activated my phone but it still happens almost every 48 hours.
As best as I can tell, it is most likely to happen when wifi is on and you have a weak cdma/3g signal.
I'm glad to hear that CM7 seems to clear it up. Between hardware instability, the compass quality being degraded and the ever imposing presence of Blur, I'm thinking I'll never again own a phone with a locked bootloader if I can help it.
I also setup tasker to reboot my phone at 3am every night. Did this several weeks ago and I've not had a network access issue since. Not a great solution but if you got root it does seem to make the problem go away.
Hey, let me know what you think of it. I thought about grabbing one cheap and using it until a good 4G & dual core comes out.
Not sure I could go with the smaller screen though.

I have this issue on an unlocked dev dx which has slightly older hardware than the current DX's but I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one with the issue. I'm going to experiment with some different radio versions, because this didn't happen with all the different leaked GB radios. It wasn't until I think the 588 build that it started for me.
+1
I have had this issue ever since GB dropped for it. I am on my third X since GB. The first one smoked a memory card and battery. So I got a like new phone and all the fixings. Then the second one was also having the data issue and the camera took a **** (shutter was stuck closed). All of these have also not only rebooted randomly from day 1 with GB. Go to make a call phone reboots, send a text phone reboots. I thought it also was apps and heard about Google Voice causing it. So when I got this third one I only setup apps that it came with and nothing else. not even 2 days into having it the same **** was there. Less frequent but still there. They are going to get screamed at until I get a new device.
Switch to cm7. I love it.
