Manually Update to 2.0.1

[928Droid]

So far so good! Anyone notice their wifi is blazing??

YES, connects fast too!

Thanks. Manual update worked perfectly.:clap: Had same problem with FB but all I needed to do was to keep refreshing and after several times it worked like a charm. Got two updates for apps including Google Maps. Everything does seem snappier.

Don't care for the lock screen though. :rating03:

OK here's a question, after updating do you go back and delete the update folder?

Bluetooth Dialing?

Can someone with the update indicate if they fixed Voice Activated Bluetooth headset dialing? Can you get to the "Please say a command" by a quick touch on the bluetooth headset button? Anyone notice what other Bluetooth improvements were added?

Thanks.

Anyone know if doing this manually will jack future OTA updates?

LOL! google maps ALREADY has another version out. I guess they found some bugs. I'm happy they are really working on making the program amazing.

They may have just added more layer options. FWIW, I updated all of my apps earlier this evening; post update there were no updates available in market.

As for 2.0.1 itself, the only negatives I can come up with are 1) the new lock screen (i'll adapt); and 2) it seems to take a little longer to boot up now. Seems to stay on the Motorola logo longer before starting the Droid animation.

Just did the update on my droid and it went flawlessly

This is all too reminiscent of hacking the Storm up to new unofficial releases.

While I am certainly anxious for the update, I think I can wait a few more days to get it OTA.

It's WAYYYY faster and easier than installing a leak on the Storm. It took all of 5 minutes to do; and my phone was actually back up and running. Not waiting to go through a 30 minute long reboot.

Updated worked fine just as described. Here's a few things I've noticed:
-Had to recreat Gallery shortcut
-Lock screen goes to sleep faster
-Time moved and font changed on lock screen
-Fixed facebook showing up multiple times in contacts
-Fixed Party Shuffle, used to play same songs
-Seems more responsive, menus are faster.
-"Never" is no longer an option in screen timeout
-Auto Brightness seems to work better
-Moving cursor is more precise
-Camera takes pictures faster than before, maybe a second or two
-Home screen scrolls faster, more fluidly
-Pull down bar is much less laggy
-No hangs or lock ups yet
-Music, Power, and Calendar widgets have a new UI

I've attached a few screenshots from the upgrade process

Worked perfectly. I did the stupid thing about adding the zip name to the filename and it wasn't working. I took off the .zip extension and it installed perfectly.

Dang it now ya done gone and convinced me to do it.

After installing 6+ leaks on my Storm I was a tad leary to get involved this late at night.

Thanks.

It was my understanding they were not going to add bluetooth voice dialing support. There are apps out there that add it.

Mine is slow as hell all of a sudden.

If you can't get it to work on a Mac you have to go to Safari/preferences/general and turn off "automatically open files after download" or something like that. Rename and you will be good to go!
