Android OS 2.2 Update
Android 2.2 was released yesterday.
I installed it on Laura’s Droid X in a few minutes with no issues whatever.
I spent eight hours trying to install it on my Droid X. Finally, I gave up and returned my phone to new status by doing a full factory reset.
Fortunately, I use an app called AppBrain. I installed it, and it immediately recovered all my apps from their online resource. Pleasantly, apps I had purchased restored easily and displayed the notice “bought.”
Had I not had AppBrain, I would most likely have tossed myself into the Sacramento River.
[Note: I must disclose that I had several unauthorized tweaks, hacks, and other such beasties set up on my phone.]
