what did the last update do for the droid_x

You need to sbf. Use the links in my signature.

I had something weird happen to me. I am on rooted .602 running Darkslide which is a .596 based ROM. My screen automatically turned on and prompted me to accept the OTA .602 update. I put it in airplane mode and froze the updater .apk. Weird though, since I am running a custom ROM with no bloatware.

Running rooted .596, with a lot of bloat frozen. It auto downloaded the update and keeps bugging me to install it. Is there a way to install while preserving root? Also acceptable, is there a way to make it just stop bothering me about it? On vacation right now and need my phone to work but don't really want to fight with the install later button for a week.

Thanks!
 
It killed me on getting text messages. Rarely had a problem before, now it can be 24 hrsbefore i get responses my friendssend a minute after i message them.

.602 fixed the notification led and the hardware key lights on my phone. But didn't play very nice with my CPU my phone was stuck at Max speed 1ghz never went into a lower idle. So my battery life really sucked. I had to sbf and flash back to .596

No issues with processor speed reducing as it should but still is sucking the life out of my battery. Full charge to 20% in just over 4 hours with zero use(no calls, not texting, no surfing the web), gps, bluetooth, and wifi off. no new apps, only changes are update and loss of root.

So anyone have any ideas what is causing the battery drain.
 
I haven't noticed any real change in battery life after this .602 update, but by far the best change I ever made to improve battery life was to change the e-mail synchronization schedules.

Settings | Battery & data manager | Data Delivery | Email and corporate sync | Email delivery | Fetch schedule (mine is every 4 hours)

(Data push is off)
 
The other thing that the .602 update seems to have fixed is random crashes. Ever since June 1, the longest my phone would stay up without a crash (and restart) was 3 days. Now that I've applied .062, I've gone 10 days with no restarts... I'm quite happy about that! The random restarts were bad.
 
I feel like the patch update messed up my phone! Problems that I didn't have are now appearing. Poor call signal, dropped calls, reboots, and major dialing lag - all have occurred since that patch. Ov and battery life is worse. Anyone else notice their phone getting worse rather than better?

First couple days on 602iwas upset at the battery drain, lack of wifi stability, wicked heat, etc..

On the third day, all of it smoothed out. Battery is cool and lasts better than when I was rooted and rommed on darkslide 4.2. GB speed is comparable to where I can't tell the difference. ADW launcher was infinitely more capable but I have to admit that this version, even with all the bloat is pretty darn good.

I have a couple issues that I'm not happy with, one being that the stock music plater just starts playing when it detects my vehicle bluetooth. No setting change for that. Also, like all unrooted phones, there is no quickboot solution.

Other than that, I'm not really satisfied with .602

Nope. No performance management addons. No task killers. I use dolphin mini instead of the stock browser.
