Droid X 2.2 Update Issues

Share

With the release of Android 2.2 for the Droid X, many users finally got their long anticipated upgrade. However, that upgrade has not necessarily gone smoothly. According to several reports, an issue with SMS (text) messaging has been discovered on the 2.2 update. Apparently some incorrect time and date settings in the software have affected the order of messages received, which can really be a hassle for users. There is no current workaround for this problem, but Motorola has stated that they are working on solving the issue, and we should expect a solution soon.

This problem was around during all of the beta builds of Android 2.2 for the Droid X, but was not addressed before releasing the official version for some reason.

Hopefully we will see a fix over the next few days (or perhaps weeks). Then we can finally turn our attention to Android 3.0, Gingerbread.

HTC Evo 4g to get Android 2.2 Tommorow

According to a report from Engadget.com, the HTC Evo 4g is scheduled to get the update to Android 2.2 Froyo tommorow. This is big news for Evo owners, as this update will include many new features. The one downside to this update however, is that rooted users who use their device as a wifi hotspot for free using android-wifi-tether may not be able to continue their free hotspot capability, as Sprint is charging $30 a month for that service and is attempting to keep customers paying. This shouldn't come as a surprise, but for some this may be a dealbreaker.

Froyo 2.2 will greatly increase the capabilities of the Evo, and many will be looking forward to it.
