Motorola Droid X :: Yet To Receive OTA / "checking For Available Update"?
Jul 23, 2010
My wife and I have yet to receive the OTA update for our DXes. I verified my system version is still .516. Every time I hit "System Updates" it either gives me a quick "can't do that right now" message or it sits and spins forever on "checking for available update". I have not received any notifications of an update being available.
Is it just my household? Is anyone else experiencing this? And does anyone have advice for me, besides "be patient"?

Just got my X a couple days ago and want to make sure I have the latest system updates. I have tried several times, but when I do Settings/About Phone/System Update, it always says: "Check for update was not available at this time. Try again later." I interpret this to mean that the update facility is down or busy, but it could also be interpreted to mean that there is no update available because I have the latest. What does it actually mean? By the way, my firmware version is listed as "2.1 update1" - is that the latest?

All the incoming calls I've received since 2.0.1 update look like this: and it slides right/left not up or down like the arrows point. The whole animation graphic is rotated. No forced update, I waited till I got the OTA. Not rooted, no custom unlock or homes.

If this is true, then I can see why the update is taking so long.All U.S. Android phones to receive Android 2.1, but some will require a wipe - Android and Me.All U.S. Android phones may get an update to OS 2.1 soon

Hear that Droid X may possibly not receive the Gingerbread update due to resolution.
I have 1 week left to return my Droid X and get a phone that will support Gingerbread when it comes out. What about the D2? Will any of the current phones available from Verizon work with Gingerbread?
I know it is speculation right now, but I want to make sure I can and will receive GB. My phone is rooted, but I do not want to wait for a port after it is released.

Is there any way or app that can tell me the current clocks my Droid CPU is running at? I just rooted and have an OC widget installed. Just want to see if it is functioning properly.

I plan to get a Droid X here sometime in the coming month, and I'm terribly excited about it. One thing I'd really like to be able to do is check my university email on my phone, without having to go through a browser. Is it possible that I'll be able to do so? When I go to log in to the website where I check my email, it says "Microsoft Exchange" at the top. I've heard others mention "exchange" email accounts. Is this what it's referring to? Will I be able to check my universal inbox and get my school email?

Has anyone else here have this problem? After I tap "Check Now", the little "Checking..." circle keeps going around for hours. No message about failing or finding anything - just the circle going around and around and around... I checked on the HTC website, but only find one or two more people with this problem. Anyone here have or had the problem and successfully got the update later?

Its in beta and its free. I love it already,check it out. Add your finds here.

How do you stop the phone from checking for and applying OTA updates? I had rooted mine, and I pulled it out of my pocket tonight to find that it had updated itself. I haven't check what effect that has had on my root yet, but I expect that it will cause problems now or in the future.
On the EVO, there's a menu option to stop the update checker, but I didn't see that on the X.

After you give an app permission to auto-update, does anyone know how often it checks for a new version of itself? Does the app check daily and if an update is found (and provided it does not alter the permissions) apply it? Is it possible to alter the frequency that it checks?
I ask because I just opened up the Android Market and right as I did so it suddenly started updating half a dozen apps. Now that was fine, since they all had been given permission to auto-update, but I want to know if they only check for an update when the market is opened, or if it was just a coincidence.

I installed SetCPU and found it very confusing. I went into the market and uninstalled/refunded it. I got a message saying uninstall failed but it is no longer showing in my list of installed apps. My phone is very choppy/leggy now. Is there a way of checking my current CPU speed? I am wondering if when I uninstalled the app my CPU remained at my minimum setting.

I updated my Eris to 2.1 about a month ago, and it's been running fine up until about last week. Lately, the battery hasn't been lasting me more than 12 hours, and I've done everything I can to save battery life, plus the battery cover usually gets hot enough to cook some eggs on top of. The problems I've encountered lately is with making and receiving calls. When trying to call someone, it seems to take forever. I know my phone isn't the fastest Android, but it used to work fine. It takes a good 30 seconds just to type in a 10 digit number; the phone usually freezes a couple of times, its just generally laggy.
When I try to receive a call, the same basic thing happens. The phone freezes up while I am trying to slide the bar down on the lock screen, etc. Here's the main issue. After sifting through the freezing and lagging, and finally get to the call, I cannot hear anything, and they cannot hear me. The call is connected; I see the notification up top, and I have got the vibrate to tell me it's connected.

Went back to NexBeast 0.2, love it. I was using Handcent, and removing both IM.apk, and Mms.apk, along with Mms.bak. I discovered that I no longer received mms messages which I was under the impression Handcent covered, so I went back to previous backup before removal of apk's, then uninstalled Im.apk and Mms.apk, did not work, I then only removed Im.apk at which point I received the mms, but one that had sound on it had no sound playing. Other things removed- talkback.apk, kickback.apk, soundback.apk, amazonMp3.apk, youtube.apk, carhome.apk, CorpCal.apk, and a few more can't remember right now. Other question, spec on BB v0.3: scripts; in the past I've used a set of scripts from DroidForums which I place in /system/xbin and then they are all available to me. This does not work for BB v0.3? The ROM has a lot of great scripts, but not general ones, like removing what app I want, at least AFAIK. Is there a way to do that with this ROM? Also when using Switch command, do I have to rename the app to the apk it is replacing?

I have not been able to receive texts since last night. What happens is I will get nothing for hours, then I reboot, and will get like 8 at once. I don't want to take it to vzw, because they will just reset it and i want to only use that as a last ditch effort. Any suggestions on how to fix it?

I have two email accounts linked to the Droid X. The primary is set to receive new emails every 15mins. Is this option available to secondary email accounts? My gmail account is hooked up to the Droid but it will not tell me if there are any messages without hitting the refresh button. Is there a way to receive emails periodically? I am having the same issue with sending. I can send an email on my gmail but it wont send until i hit refresh.

I couldn't find the answer to my question even though this thread seems to dance around it.
There is pretty much only ONE reason i want root on my droid x: to rename all VZW bloatware. That's it. I don't want to overclock. I don't want to get rid of blur. I don't want to custom theme or anything. All i want is to rename the bloatware apk's to bak's.
So my question is, if i root my original 2.1 droid x and change the bloatware app names, when the OTA is getting pushed, will i receive it and be able to upgrade just fine? I realize that if i get the official 2.2 it should break my root and i'm ok with that because right now for me official 2.2 > official 2.1 with bloatware renamed. Mainly since i am confident 2.2 will be rooted soon after it comes out.
Lastly, is the universal and root still the simplest way to root droid x 2.1?

I'm having an issue with my Droid. I unrooted my phone from 2.2 because I ran tests on it and found that it is not running as well as it should be. I went to 2.1 and then found out that it was still rooted so my brother and I unrooted again down to stock 2.0.1. Now my phone will not receive the OTA so I can upgrade to stock 2.1. Does anyone know why it won't receive the update?

I set up gv on my husbands 2.2 droid the same as my 2.1 dinc and now he can't make or receive calls! When we call it (his verizon #) we get "call cannot be completed as dialed" but when we call his gv # it goes to his vm.

I am unable to send or receive/download MMS messages on my droid with neither Handcent nor factory installed messaging program. When i try to send/ download MMS, it just hangs (little icon keeps going in circles like it's working but never finishes, nor are the messages sent). It's not reception. It's not impatience ( it's been hanging for days sometimes).

If I want to send a contact in my contact list I can via "share" in the contacts menu. It then attaches a .VCF attachment to my email. I can then send it to anyone via e-mail. I tried this with and iphone buddy and he was able to see and save the file as a contact perfectly. He then tried to send me one, but Gmail says that .VCF files are unsuported. How is it that they designed the phone to send them but not receive them. What am I missing here.

Matt over at Motorola has set up a thread you can subscribe to so that you can receive an email notification when 2.1 has begun its rollout. (I guess more realistically - as soon as it's started and Matt is able to get the thread updated - but I've got faith in 'ol Matt!) You do have to be a member there to subscribe.
For those of you not looking to sign up there - you can subscribe to THIS thread for instant email notification if you'd like. As soon as I get his email - I'll repost it here saying so. Yes, the notice will be a hair behind the very instant it is released, but with any luck not too behind. I will delete this thread after the update is complete. The making of this or Matt's thread does not indicate it's any closer to release. No exchanges substitutions or refunds.

Don't know if any of you have had your SMS just stop sending/receiving? I've been texting my girlfriend back and forth for like 15 minutes then nothing was going back and forth. Hope its the service and not the phone, I really don't want to go change it again.

Is anyone here going to be downloading/using the Gameboid app? I would love to be able to use my phone as a GBA . Question for those of you who have used it though...a few people have reported not being able to receive texts after playing it for a little while...is this truly a problem? Also, could anyone post some detailed instructions on how to get it to work? I think I understand it, but could surely use some clarification.

I have had my Droid X for about a week and cannot figure out how to get the phone to vibrate when a txt/chat/email arrives when the phone is set to silent. I have checked all the setting and vibrate is checked everwhere and the phone still does not vibrate when a new alert come in. any thoughts?

I have seen post about sending big email attachment, this one is about receiving. I have my Yahoo and Optonline (Cablevision ISP, pop/smtp server) email accounts linked up with DX. Whenever I get something into Yahoo account over 5MB it just gives me a link to download the attachment rather than displaying in inbox. I can live with that. But my Optonline email account just gives me a message "attachment exceeds the limit" and nothing I can do about it. Its very consistent with anything over 5MB. I'm wondering if there is a setting somewhere to increase the allowable incoming attachment size? Any idea?
