Like the title says, have you had any issues with your Droid X either during or after the OTA Froyo/2.2 update? I know some people are saying they have heard horror stories about the OTA update, but I want to see how those all break down between stock unrooted/modified and modified, all that kind of stuff. I have a feeling that a lot of people are scared to do the update on a never modified phone because they hear about people having problems, but I bet most of the issues are on rooted/modified/previously rooted handsets, just want to see and let others see how it really is. So pick your choice and feel free to leave a comment.
 
I noticed the stock music player had some improvements but it is freezing and acting really buggy. Also after the update apps will restart themselves and show running in the notification bar. Also after the update I put my X on the dock to charge and when I removed it and made a call I had no sound in the earpiece or loud speaker.

I did a battery pull and the calling feature was fine but I wonder if it will happen after every charge. I used to work in the cellular industry so I did the trinity to try and resolve the other issues,
1. battery pull
2. factory data reset
3. called VZW and had them do a master reset.

Still having the same issues. I had no problems before the update.
