Your Droid X needs an update
The Droid X has made its way into the world and many people are quite happy with their new toy. The Droid X sports an almost won’t fit in your pocket 4.3 inch screen and is even more than impressive if you see it in the wild.
The Motorola Droid X that was released on July 15th has come to the public with a bit of interest surrounding it, from its ‘eFuse” security technology to its near lack of stock for the general public. But today Verizon announced a software update to the Droid X just a mere four days after its release. The update to “Version 1.13.604.MB810.Verizon.en.US/Baseband: BP_C01.09.04P” has been made available as of today and will give your Droid X some updates that in my opinion should have been made available out of the box. But that’s neither here nor there. The software update for the Droid X will enhance and or improve the following specs. The update will improve the battery charging indicator, will provide smoother transitions for the camera and camcorder, a redesign of weather widgets icons, the update has sped up the loading of Exchange ActiveSync, the update will streamline the organization of newly downloaded apps, you can organize favorite contacts by call count, an update to Bluetooth for enhanced video sharing, coordination of date and time across the X’s display, a cleaner GPS symbol for your status bar, improvements to the 3G mobile hotspot, faster visual voicemail, an update to the enhanced preloaded My Verizon app, and lastly Amazon Kindle® application lets you read Kindle books.
Starting July 19th the update will be issued via OTA (over the air) and will take a bit of time to reach all Droid X models. However the list of updates is impressive, and most definitely worth the wait, just makes me wonder why the Droid X was not issued to the world this way 4 days ago.
Use a Droid X?
Have you seen the update?
Any improvements?
Sound off and let us know what you see with your Droid X

I don’t know where you people live but this phone SUX. I had the Palm Pre Plus for a few weeks and absolutely hated the battery life but at least it was stable, would sync up with my bluetooth system in my car, and the 3G hot spot worked FLAWLESSLY. The hot spot capability on my new droid X is PATHETIC. It amazes me that ALL other smart phones have no trouble syncing up with your car’s bluetooth system but for some reason it is not that easy on a droid. What gives? BTW my droidX already has this wonderful update loaded and the hot spot still does not work. Maybe I am just stupid and should go back to tethering on my Storm which actually did work.

only prob I have is the one I had before the update. Seems if you have wifi on and you try to use Verizon App it freezes or won’t load and get error messages that say can’t connect to servers at this time. But, if I turn wifi off and go all 3G then all is fine. I seem to have same problem with downloading some apps from the Android Store.
Other than that runs great. Weather widget does run better.

I just installed the latest update. So far so good, everything is functioning as it should. The X did a few reboots as it was updating, but that is to be expected.

Just installed the update. Things are running wonderfully so far.

I wasn’t seeing the update, but I figured out how to “force” the download. I am downloading the update right now. Go to Settings–> About phone (last option)—>System Update. It should connect and ask you if you want to update. There you go! Good luck!

Got the droid x release day and love it. Coming from a droid incredible not much to get use to except motorolas UI. Haven’t received the update yet but hoping it fixes the few bugs I’ve discovered. Like the syncing or the drag and drop. Other than that I love my phone and wouldn’t trade for anything. Except maybe something with a 2ghz processor.
