OTA Update Starting today?

I just did the OTA and now the phone won't connect to the internet...Significant home screen and widgets lag.
GPS won't update location.
Cached Gmail opens up in landscape mode...

Power cycled 3 times and did a *228 with no improvement.

What did they do to my baby?
Bad Robot!

Pull the battery out for a few seconds and put it back in and see if that helps.

If that doesn't help I'd call Verizon, or do a factory reset (under Privacy in Settings) and see if that works. It'll remove all apps and data from the phone, but everything on your SD card will be left alone. You'll have to re-activate the phone as you did when you first got it. Your apps should re-install automatically.

Good luck...

It paid to be patient...thank you Jesus

I had a "failure to connect to the network" notification of my phone this morning. So, thinking it was because verizon had sent me the update notification, i went to my settings and clicked on system updates and sure enough, it said i needed to update. then the fun started. for some reason, my phone wouldn't show either 1x OR 3G connection and neither the browser or the update would work. i tried cycling power and removing the battery to no avail. FINALLY, i turned "airplane mode" on and then back off and it connected to the mobile network (3G) and downloaded, updated, and now all is well again in my world!

I just got it this morning and my usage pattern is erratic, so I can't comment on battery life. Haven't made any calls, so can't comment on that either.

What I can say is that the App list scrolls MUCH smoother (The list that has all your apps in it that you access from the home screen). This being choppy was a real irritant, so the improvement makes me very happy. The camera auto focus definitely seems to work better and is much quicker between snapping shots.

I also prefer the new lock screen. It's great.
