~OFFICIAL: FRG01B FroYo Issues/Solutions Thread~

[smatica]

Anyone else having an issue with the DROID notification not playing:

1. Boot up DROID notification missing.

2. USB Connection DROID notification missing.

That's all I notice so far.

Attached is a screenshot I took after I updated from a file yesterday, is this the current OTA?

Yes, this is the only issue I have found as well. Not a huge deal, but it was kinda cool to have it.

Im having a issue with running apps. When my phone boots up and I pull up advanced task killer (or go in to settings and pull up running apps) it has A LOT of my apps running. Then i will kill them and no more than 1 min later ALL of them will be right back up there running again. I know some should come back up but ALL of them? Right after I kill them all? Its causing my phone to run low on mem and to run slow AND it has caused it to freeze and I have to pull the battery out and reboot.( ivehad to reboot several times today already) Any suggestions? Thanks guys!!

This was after I updated this morning to 2.2.
Motorola Droid 1 Stock

Droid 1 with 2.2 update won't stay awake with charger plugged in.

My Droid has aways stayed awake in the car dock with the charger attached so that I can see everything as I drive. Since I updated with the "official" 2.2 yesterday, the phone goes dark after the designated number of minutes as if it isn't plugged in. Anyone had this problem...more importantly, anyone have a solution.

I normally run the phone in the car dock with the normal home page as opposed to the Car Dock page so that I can access everything normally.

Any thoughts?

So, pretty much the first thing I did after installing Froyo was check to make sure my MixZing was working. It wasn't. Wouldn't even start up, so I uninstalled and reinstalled, which initially fixed the problem, but now it won't scan my media.. It just sits there saying "waiting for system scanner".. so I can't get to my music. =( Suggestions?

Odd. Hadn't checked my MixZing since I updated.

Just fired up MixZing. Selected a track. Started playing.
Now adding Widget. Play track.
No problem.

MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service

Go there on your droid download and install.

Make sure you enabled unknown sources are allowed to install in the settings.

As for the 2.1 thing you sure you updated?

I followed the instructions, but I don't really notice any differences and I don't have 5 screens, so I'm guessing I didn't. How do I go back to the original 2.1? I think ill just wait for the OTA update

Here is how to install the 2.2 update:

First make sure you have:

Official 2.2 update
on your computer

Update: You dont need to rename this one it comes as Update.zip (mine didnt)

Plug your droid into the computer

Transfer the update.zip file into your sd card (just where are the first folders are is fine)

Than unplug your DROID and power it down.

When turning it back on hold the X button on the keyboard as well as the power button.

You should be at a menu with a triangle and !, you than press up on the volume rocker and hold the camera button untill another menu pops up with 4 options.

Choose the install update from SD card and the 2.2 update will begin installing
If you get a :
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
Its fine and the update will install correctly.
If you get an error that says aborted it didn't work.
If you get an E:signtature verification failed it was bad download and you need to re download it.

Once it finishes choose the top option ( which say reboot) to reboot your phone so you can begin enjoying Froyo.

Than follow the flash player steps i told you before to get flash player dancedroid

Tried 3 different download links for the official 2.2 still getting failed authentication error over and over. Tried 2 different browsers, anyone have any more ideas?

I updated last night and eveything has seemed to be in good working order except that the droid sent my brother a very long(100+letters) text message by itself. Not actual words but jibberish and it was on my kitchen counter 15 feet away from the nearest person.

I can't find some of the features this is supposed to have--
has anyone found:
streaming from itunes
remote app purchasing
pushing maps, websites, and other links from your browser

anyone found these?

 

[Potty Time]

Yes, use Chrome to Phone to send links from browser. Don't know how? Google it.

good one! I had been searching using the wrong terms, this helps alot!

now where is that streaming app...

 

[MikeAlphaBravo]

Did manual update this morning. In general all is working fine so far, except that WIFI signal strength always has no "waves", but, connects and works fine.

Guess will wait and see what happens when Moto/Verizon restart the suspended OTA rollout...

I did the manual update and everything is okay, except when i open the gallery it force closes unless i quickly tap a picture then it opens but if i go back to the main gallery screen it fc on me. i have rebooted, did battery pull, doesn't matter.

Odd, I haven't had any FCs, and I've been running it since yesterday. Though knowing my luck it will after I write this. It's possible you have an app that is doing something that has access to your gallery.

Car dock workaround (hopefully temporary). For those that want to use something other than the stock music player, I found that starting (for example) Last FM BEFORE you dock the Droid will allow you to access it after a long press on the phone home key, and keep the display from timing out when plugged into a 12VDC power source. PITA, but I couldn't find any good Market replacements...where is "car dock" - couldn't find it via search...
