DROID X UPDATE Has Anyone Picked It Up Yet

[B33]

Well as aggravating as it must be.. receiving those text in that way hopefully there a fix coming to solve it..

[Cody21]

I don't do a whole lot of Texting so really can't say if this is an issue or not for me -- at last the few Texts I *do* send/receive never duplicate. There have been suggestions in other threads that duplicate Texts can be caused by a "poor 3G connection". the point being that when a TEXT msg gets sent or received and the final "hand off" of the msg being sent/received is not complete, the msg gets resent.  So not sure if that may be the issue. Something you could try if this is reproducible is that when it happens, runs a test of the 3G data connection - just to see how strong a signal you have. One of the free APPS that can do that is "Speed Test".  Just a thought.

PS - when you go to MY VERIZON online, check your Text history. Does Verizon show that you are sending/receiving multiple Tmessages? or does it just show 1 for the several you are seeing on the phone? Because if it is Verizon actually sending them, I would contact them -- some people have reportedly done that and Verizon did something are THEIR end to resolve the issue.  (Do a SEARCH up above for some of those threads on "duplicate text messages").

Glad you thought of that  Cody  an the phone that is sending out the Text could be having a issue an pushing out duplicates..it may be the one that needs a fix.

Cody, my multiple texts have come in while I'm on wifi. I don't text much either and I knew even a bunch of multiples wouldn't push me past my limit, so I never checked My Verizon, but that is a good idea (next time).

I know one person was using a BB on AT&T, so it wasn't a Verizon-to-Verizon texting situation. They sent a short text and I continued to receive it for hours.

Not sure about the other recent multiple text event.

No multiple texts since the update last week. And, I never turn off my phone, so no feedback on the power-back-up issue.

Yes, I will say it. NO issues at all on my phone from the update last week. The horse is already out of the barn, but at least this time, it was an uneventful update.

Well my phone did a spontaneous reboot this evening:-(

[Cody21]

Do you mean while just on the screen?  or are you referring that it Powered itself back up AFTER powering it OFF?  This latter issue is still not resolved with this update. (The auto-power-up-after Power down.)

[Kooshie]

No I mean I'm in the middle of using the phone or it's just sitting idle and spontaneously does a reboot.  It's happened a few more times since then also.  I have never had the issue where the phone turns itself back on but then again I usually don't shut my phone down as it is my only phone.

[B33]

Kooshy.. I gonna throw in my suggestion agian of doing a F.R... Especially if that X has done as many reboots as you say it has done. My X has not done one yet! Knock on Wood since the Update. I know F.R.s can be a Bitch but if stops it!  An hopefully.. it does. Getter Done as ol Larry the cable Guy would say.. an good luck too ya!    B33

[bearone21]

mine hasn't done any reboots or have any other problems since 621.

[droidsw]

B33, I have not (manually) rebooted my phone in over 226 hours, after installing the update. (It wasn't and hasn't rebooted on its own).

Prior to that, I was manually rebooting daily due to sluggish and inconsistent performance.

I have been outspoken in my dissatisfaction with my X, but I am honest enough to give it kudos this time.

Will this change my mind a year and 8 months into the X experience?

No.

But, it's a nice change.
