woke up this morning around 3:30am, noticed phone was blinking red led and showing low battery warning, even though it was plugged in. unplugged and replugged and instantly went back to 100%. checked system updates in settings and it was downloading the ota and seemed to be stuck around 75% done. was considering whether to pull battery, but it eventually finished within about 30 minutes after i noticed it. then i got the popup to install and it worked fine. no problems.

Yes, it's weaksauce when an update doesn't add software made by some company other than the one doing the update.
Happy Easter! Got my update this morning (it had taken 10mins to update). My Gallery icon did not work at first, but now it does. It had taken out 30 mins just for the Gallery to update itself to the new look, and it still updates when I go into a folder. I like the tilt feature for the Gallery, and I REALLY like the slide to the next pic!!!
Hmmm
Okay,
So I have had the DROID a total of about 12 days after kiling my contract with At&t and dumping my iphone...no regrets.
I was excited to hear that even more developments were on there way via the 2.1 update (mostly happy about the voice button on all virtual keyboards).
I have looking and wondering when it would happn to me and PRESTO! last night around 1 am I hear "Drrrroooiiidd" and there is the update (in FL don't know if that matters.)
I clicked to download and went to sleep, only to wake up to pretty much the same phone from yesterday. I was happy to see the voice button was on the virtual keyboard and the live wallpapers are pretty impressive (though not my style) but there was no spiffy new task menu, I already had google goggles (which works about 50% of the time and mostly on books) and I had USA Today so I didnt care much for the news widgets, other than that they just added a spiffy new look to my gallery (displays vertically and blurry in background).
When I checked the firmware it said version 2.1 + update 1 and I did not know if that is any different than folks who got the 2.1 or 2.1-update 1......just strange to see that the changes appear very minimal. Also there is no slowing down of my Droid either so I'm not sure what all the rage is about.

I'm guessing you have a shortcut to your Gallery app on the home screen of your Droid, right?
If so, that shortcut icon is looking for the old version of the Gallery app. Delete that Gallery shortcut icon from your homescreen and create a new shortcut to the new Gallery.
That's what I had to do to correct the same issue.
I hope this helps and Happy Easter! 2.1 has risen.

i had the same problem. but it wouldnt let me delete the old shortcut first. i had to pull the new shortcut out of the app drawer then delete the old shortcut.
