Headphone removal audio problems, for one.
LOL, I'm just lazy and never changed it.
Actually, I never really noticed until you just said something. I had a Storm in Aug. 2009. and got my Droid in Dec.Poor call quality, as documented in numerous threads, including a rather long one on the Motorola site itself.
They're handling it poorly because there so many ways to distribute the finished code that having a problem with one distribution point shouldn't grind the process to a halt... Especially for something that is ready to go out of the door. This update is something that a good portion of their customers want and have been waiting for. I for one don't work at the local mall and I solve problems weekly that effect million of dollars of work materials and data. This is something that I PERSONALLY would have thought of way back when. Why is proper fore-thought so difficult for them? They're a big company and I'm sure they have a room full of whiz-kids who brainstorm in the early stages and come up with plans for rolling things out, and to bottleneck the launch point seems a bit amateurish. Maybe I'm not in the conference room and I don't have the whole story, but if this is mostlyt true for why this isn't hitting the streets... I just don't know what to say. PPP = PPP (piss poor planning equals piss poor performance)
Just saying.
When push comes to shove--the DROID doesn't
+1. i'm a noob to this forum but not to roll-outs [as end-user, and administrator].
in an enterprise environment [10,000 managed systems] we push out a patch/update with a 99% successful push rate; the 1% easily floods the helpdesk and keeps our techs busy for days. it's a double-edged sword, because a 99% successful push-rate of a buggy patch/update would be CRIPPLING.
another thing people seem to forget is the method of the push. if the device is directly linked to the network, the push agent and architecture can easily schedule, queue, and handle the load. however, the reason why i got an android device is so i DONT have to be tethered to a bloated and/or rarely used desktop agent to receive updates or manage my data [ie-music, video, etc] regardless if it's a patch [2.0->2.01], version update [2.0->2.1], or version upgrade [2.0->3.0]
appreciate the fact you're NOT tethered. its peers and competitors cannot compete with that.
I'm sorry, but I have to laugh.
I'd rather have it late and working then now and something wrong.

Update your DROID to 2.1 to enjoy some pinch-to-zoom | The Mobile Gadgeteer | ZDNet.com
This site says the update is on verizon's website for manual download. Has anyone tried this yet?

You are going to the extremes on that one. THe problem is there are too many fingers in the pot. Like I said to the moto rep; Google sends it to yall, you guys cut it up and tweak it then send it to vzw, vzw reviews and approve it and then send it to some one to send it to us. How about take some of the fingers out and have google send it, motto cut it up. Motto could send it to vzw for approval, wants it is approved allow us to choose to either download it off the moto site, vzw site, or choose the ota.
Well....i will let VZW off the hook for a little while. I mean, there should be updates out by Monday. If not i think i will "reroot" and get all my goodies back and wait like others until after the push takes place. Might not accept the OTA after all. Doesn't look like i could benefit at all. Who knows.....I will just take it one hour at a time.
Nothing was advertised though. A leaked photo got out and the 2.1 PDF never had a date/announcement on it nor was there any kind of communication from VZW stating an update was coming.
Most people are not even aware of what the heck is going on : )
Now if VZW had sent out an email or text stating a update would be coming then it was being advertised. I don't recall seeing any advertising for it and if I somehow missed it I will stand corrected.
As far as the Moto thing goes that was a HUGE mistake on their part. They had no business saying anything. They can't control a roll-out (which we all saw)
UPDATE: We’re hearing that the update is delayed again but have not yet been able to officially confirm the delay.
==fail post - thanks for the false alrarm though
Hello Met-Droid...there is no manual update/download at this time.
True. Seem like the problem is that they are constantly having to deal with leaks. Leaked photos, leaked updates, they have some serious security issues. At this point a basement dev will have everything on the market before moto/vzw will.
Oh well, worth a shot, I'm at work so I couldn't take the time to try it.
