New Findings and Fixes thread for Droid 2.0.1 OTA updates

[freakintoddles]

i have a FINDING:

2.0.1... under battery use details, cell standby, no longer tells you % time without a signal. That is gone now.

Did notice the Verizon part is not showing in the market, but I do see the Download tab, so I presume the Verizon branding just overwrote the Market's normal download section where the download should be the apps you downloaded.

Did you do manual update because I did and mine still says Verizon instead of Downloads

(yes, I'm aware that I still misspelled some words... i was in a hurry)
The lag seems to be gone quite a bit from before

I have much better battery life after the update. I am sitting on 15.5 hours unplugged and still have 70% left. Usually at this time I'm down to around 40%.

that guy types freaking fast

I note that my phone now makes loud, loud tones when i press a key! lol, it wasn't audible before....now it's blaring, well until i turned down the media volume.

I can confirm that my keyboard feels more responsive. Nothing un-earthly just a difference enough to notice.

Sound quality playing music has been improved. I don't hear the crackle on the left speaker anymore.

I did have a problem hanging up a phone call to my voice mail after receiving a text.... normally i had no problem doing this. Hasn't happened since so not too concerned.

I love the fact that I don't have to wake up my phone, unlock it, THEN lower the volume as I did BEFORE the update.

Does anyone knows why the weather sometimes doesnt work while on the dock? Is this via GPS or network? The only reason why I ask is because my GPS was acting funny over the weekend. It didnt know where I was and wouldnt navigate me to anywhere

I have read alot of people that say they love the GPS on the Droid. I and many others are very frustrated because it lacks one feature that all GPS have in common except for the Droid's. The problem I am talking about is being able to save your current location or add waypoints. I also have a Garmin Nuvi but Droid doesn't come close to it if you can't save locations. This would be a real simple fix, simply touch your current location and have it bring up a screen asking if you would like to save your current location. From there all you would need to add is a folder to save your favorites in. Until then I have to rely on my Garmin.

Im totally with you on this one. Even VZ Navigator has the option to save locations. i.e. I have HOME saved so whenever I am "lost" or want to get to my house from X location, all I had to do is click HOME and it took me there. Now, I have to navigate to a contact with my home address saved (had to add a contact with my info)

that was one of the main things from the update, better battery life. Check your apps running simultaneously

hmmm...for some reason, I cannot delete a contact from my contact list. Anyone else have problems with this?

Dang. so the only way that I can delete it is to go to that contact and edit the contact by deleting the name and other contact info.

Camera App clicking

Noticed a new clicking sound when the camera starts up.
Never noticed this before, or may be it was there but just louder now.
