Motorola Fixing Sound Issues with the Droid X in Next Update

If you have a Droid X then you may be having issues with your sound notifications. Don’t fret, Motorola has been actively watching their support forums and plans on fixing the issues in the next update. The update should be here around mid September and also will address the Exchange issues that some of you are experiencing.

They have not addressed whether this will be a Froyo update to take care of the issues or not, but with the Exchange issue being addressed and the Droid 2 releasing soon with 2.2 I would bet they it might be just that. I have seen things like that happen before so that would not surprise me at the least.

Have you been experiencing any of the sound or Exchange issues personally? We would love to hear what you think.

LG Ally Froyo? It’s gonna happen

With so much hoopla on Android 2.2 coming to the flagship phones on each carrier, it’s easy to forget about the mid-range phones in the lineup. Well Verizon and LG haven’t forgotten about it’s core of Ally users. LG has specifically said that the Ally will indeed be receiving Android 2.2 but can’t confirm a date.

Of course this could mean anything. It might be released in a few weeks or November, so you Ally users just have to keep your fingers crossed.

DROID X 2.2 update to come in early September

Over at the Motorola support forums, there was a thread started about issues on the DROID X with Exchange email. ”Matt”, a Motorola employee, left the following statement:

First, I want to thank everyone for their help and patience as we worked though this. Much appreciated.

Some Droid X users are experiencing an issue using Exchange 2003 email. Though the email is arriving on the Droid X, no notifications are appearing. A fix for this will be included in the upgrade to Android 2.2 scheduled for deployment by early September.

Not exactly the time frame that most DROID X users were hoping for, but a time frame nonetheless.

What do our DROID X-touting readers think of this release date? Right on time, or a little too late? Let us know in the comments below!

We put out an article earlier this week, telling you that HTC had put up a post on their official Twitter, basically telling everyone that had used the unofficial Froyo update for their EVO should switch to the official version. Now, HTC is sending another official reminder for early adpoters to hurry up and wait on them for assistance getting to the official update.

A post left on their official Twitter now states:

If you installed an unofficial update on EVO last week, we working on a simple, effortless solution. Please bear with us a bit longer.

All you EVO owners out there on Froyo, whether official or otherwise, let us know in the comments how your phone is running!

Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 software update has wifi bug

Reports are rolling in that the latest OTA update from Sony on their XPERIA X10 phones has a very annoying wifi bug included, free of charge. Here’s how it works:

Basically, any time your cellular signal drops to zero then bounces back, WiFi turns itself off, which is particularly brutal considering that a weak signal is probably why you’re leaning on WiFi in the first place.

Reports also say that it is most likely software update version R2BA026 that’s to blame, so if you haven’t already updated, you may want to hold off.

Any of our X10 touting readers out there experience this? Let us know below.

No, no… not Froyo. While we wsh we could tell you that T-Mobile’s myTouch 3G Slide was getting the coveted Android 2.2 update, we can’t. Well, we could… but we would be lying.

According to Tmo News, there will be an OTA update going out to the myTouch 3G Slide tomorrow, which will fix some bugs. According to their site:

Beginning August 4, T-Mobile will send an over-the-air (OTA) update to myTouch 3G Slide customers, which will provide a number of benefits, including increased battery performance and enhancements to software features such as Faves Gallery and Genius Button. The update will be sent to customers in staggered waves beginning August 4 and we anticipate all customers will receive it by August 19.

If any of our mT3GS users out there get this update, make sure to let us know, and what you think of it, in the comments below.
