Help Gingerbread has done nothing...

Am I the only one still having problems? Lagging keyboard, random reboots, slow apps... feels like the same exact phone.

I don't think your the only one. I have 2 friends whom both received the GB update on their DX2 and they come to me for all of their Android news...they are both experiencing the same problems as you.

Sometimes over the air updates can catch a hiccup or bug while downloading. Have you master reset phone since? It definitely feels smoother for me and my friends. Only known issue is the home screen redraws.

same here, only difference is some of the graphical icons. Pandora still sucks - it lags, takes a good 60 seconds to start-up and then 30 seconds between songs and occasional skips. i wish i had my incredible back

You need to root, supercharge, debloat, use an sd speed increase app to zip the DX2 up. IMHO, it was faster and better with the same tweaks on 2.2. But now that we are on 2.3 I don't feel like sbfing to 2.2 and losing most of my data. I could nandroid to my last 2.2 backup but I probably won't. Doing the steps I listed above helps this phone a ton.

I think you should throw it. There won't be any more real updates muchacho.

Still makes no sense how this device with a mature chipset and design was borked so bad and the Droid 3 is the polar opposite. Both 512 mb devices, but DX2 has to be mega tweaked too get decent performance, but even then has the audio pops and other issues.

The firmware team over the DX2 should be banished from the land.

My phone has been running like a champ after the update ever since I did a factory reset. Several days after reinstalling all of my apps my battery is lasting about 25 hours and I've experianced no reboots and no lag.

Mine is actually pretty quick overall. Significantly faster than my DX was with the same tweaks. There is room for improvement with the DX2, but overall it is a very nice phone. Audio pops for me are non existant with my settings.

One thing I miss with the DX2 is the bigger display. The D3 looks a little better, due to .3"smaller, but I prefer the bigger display. Seems the bezel space on the D3 would handle a 4.3".

Keyboard for me is nice trade off, but still miss the DX2 display size.

How but random reboots? My reboots are less frequent, but I still get one every couple of days. My phone is faster and alot smoother and my streaming music has improved a bit, but the rebooting is still there albeit a lot less frequent. One thing I've had a few more of is locking up and having to do a battery pull. I did a full factory reset last week (monday-ish) because of the lockimng. After I reset it, the phone was smoother and I even went back to Blur since that seems to be better, but I had to do a battery pull Sunday and last night it reboot as I was docking it.

You know, I'm worried I'm gonna be in a crash and hanging upside down with gas dripping and little stream of gas making its way to a small fire toward the front and I'm gonna pull out my phone to get help and I'll get the "DRRROOOIIIIIDDD" when I go to make that call!

Seriously. When is the emergency going to happen when my phone decides to be a little bitch?
