why 2.2 upgrade?

[giant25]

4 hours sounds like poor battery life. I get almost a day with a good amount of use. Granted, I'm not rooted.

How do I download the update patch from my phone? I'm also experiencing a lot of sluggishness since the 2.2 upgrade.

Thanks,

If you're talking about the 1.6mb patch, you can get it at http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-news/75018-official-frg22d-ota-patch-here-download-now.html

Can anyone explain how to install the full update versus the OTA smaller update to correct issues?

Besides some lag and the stupid bloatware, I love everything about this update!

I am also experiencing horrible lag, poor battery life, and lots of annoying adware.

I experienced the same thing. But I installed the update FRG22D and did a few battery pulls and it's running fine now.

I just updated my phone two days ago and the apps constantly running in the background is quite annoying.

That's part of the Android OS; they were running in the background in 2.0 and 2.1. Take a look at http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-applications/65483-task-killers-answer-google-developers.html (especially the video) to see how the OS works.

I have ATK and I kill apps every time I pick up my droid. the number always stays at two, before the update the number would go to zero and stay there.

This is not a task killing thread, let's get back on topic. Are you enjoying your Droid with 2.2? Seems like the comments say no, but the voting says yes.

Apologies... I vote "Not happy" with 2.2

Batt life now = crap

So far I think I actually enjoyed 2.1 better than 2.2. Some of the aspects of 2.2 are better, but I think the overall feel of 2.1 has been better for me.

I actually agree with the OP. My Droid ran smoother before I was running froyo and still had 2.1. And considering that flash works on 2.1 and there is a way to get apps2sd on 2.1, froyo really doesnt seem like very much of an improvement.
