One Droid X Owner Gets Gingerbread Update Pushed Out Early

Posted by | 05/17/2011 | 23 Comments

It looks like Verizon Wireless may have already begun to push out the Android 2.3 update for some owners of the original Motorola Droid X. One user was able to download and install the software update and had posted pics on Droid-Life, which shows some of the subtle refinements to the UI on Gingerbread. It’s unclear when the update will start showing up for other owners as Verizon Wireless has not formally announced the update yet.

Unfortunately, though, it seems that the version of Gingerbread being pushed out the the Droid X is only Android 2.3.3 and not the Android 2.3.4 version that supports video chat natively.

    Don’t think it matters if the droid x gets the video chat feature since it does not have a front facing camera.

      You could get a headset and turn your cell the other way.

         What’s the point of a one way video conversation? That would be awkward and borderline creepy for the person who can watch you without being seen..

      ive tried all the gingerbread files online and cant get any to work after following all there instructions. your probably right and they are all lies 

      • Fff says:

        Youre probably doing something wrong. You can get gingerbread on your dx, but the rumors of ppl having the official release are lies

        • Timrogers1956 says:

        • Timrogers1956 says:

           i tried to download and install gingerbreak and i got a blank screen. this is a refurbished cell from verizons insurance comp but its still a droid x stock. if im doing something wrong maybe you could help. i will try it one more time but im thinking its time to find a diff cell and it wont be from verizon.

     i would just wait for the official gingerbread release for the droid x.  it’ll be here any day.  all of the leaked versions i’ve tried have had wifi reliability issues.  since i depend on wifi to download numerous podcasts on my x, that flaw was a deal breaker.  however, other than the wifi issue, all of the leaked gingerbread builds i installed were solid as a rock and astonishingly fast.  i’m now back to running liberty 2.0 ROM.

  8. [...] Motorola Droid X: The Gingerbread update for the Motorola Droid X has turned into quite the saga. It has already leaked out not once, but twice, and Motorola apparently rolled it out to some users during a controversial test run just a short time ago.
