Uggg, only 10000 over 48 hours?! I CANNOT LIVE LIKE THIS!

theDreamer · 03-17-2010, 07:13 PM

Yeah it sucks, and I will be at the end of the line.

Though I have been reading and it seems that a few hours after the update is released we can just download the official one from "unofficial" places and it is the same. Not sure on this 100% as this is my first go around with Android, but if true I might do this so I do not have to wait.

MightyBobo · 03-17-2010, 07:32 PM

Well if Im lucky they will do day-1 buyers first :-p

BTW, thats what I did for 2.0.1 - got tired of waiting, and I downloaded the update from an unofficial source. It worked like a champ.

Wow, I had no idea how many DROIDS were on the market....and its even more than this number now of course.

theDreamer · 03-18-2010, 09:41 AM

Yeah, saw that last night, one reason I am looking for 2.1 so I can just update myself since I was near 1 million.
If anyone finds an official download let me know so I can update please.

HKYStormFront · 03-18-2010, 10:13 AM

Haha yeah I was thinking about waiting till my phone wants to update on its own... now I'm not so sure lol

theDreamer · 03-18-2010, 10:14 AM

Yeah, it is going to take at least 5 groups to get through all the droid users, which for each group is a few days.

this sucks!

I just got the Droid yesterday (coming from a BB curve) and I'm having some issues with it taking a while to do anything..sometimes it will tell me "no connection, retry" and when trying to access facebook, It seems like it won't let me view my actual profile. If I click on profile, it says "content empty", "an error has occurred while fetching data no socket" and "an error has occurred while fetching data null" Very frustrating...My daughter and I were up for renewal and so we did the buy one get one free thing-- Now I'm wondering if I made a mistake.

If anyone has experienced these errors, I would love to know how to fix them. I tried searching but nothing came up.

Thanks much!!!

Are you getting 3G then full bars in the top notification bar?
Have not seen that error, you might have gotten a bad phone, is your daughter having the same issue as your phone or is hers working fine?

When I was in Ventura today, the bars were full and it said 3G...sometimes it only has 1-2 bars, and then sometimes it will say 3G and sometimes it was say 1 cdmi? (I think that is what someone told me) For most facebook things, it *seems* to work..although I have to go fetch my notifications, it seems..with my BB, it just dinged and I clicked and read whatever was sent. This seems like more steps..which may just be ME on the learning curve... but when I go to the home page of the facebook app..If I click Profile, it just gives me those errors. Interestingly, I can see my info, photos, etc. Just the profile part doesn't work.

I wondered if maybe I am just not in a good 3G coverage area. I asked about that when I was in there and she said where I lived was fine. But sometimes, even when I am browsing through the market looking at the applications, I get that little circular icon and it says "loading...." and it takes 15-30 seconds to then show additional applications. Same goes for trying to get to a webpage. I was under the impression it was quite fast compared to the BB and it seems about the same or even slower so far. So I'm confused and a bit frustrated.

I'll have to ask her how hers did today, she isn't home from school yet. It's funny, I only got Facebook to keep tabs on her originally--now I use it quite a bit and it would be one of the apps I use the most, and its the one app that doesn't seem to work right on my phone. Figures.
