Motorola Droid X Gingerbread Bug Fix Update Now Available
Many of you out there with a Motorola Droid X have been having issues with your handset ever since Verizon rolled out the Gingerbread update at the end of May. Almost immediately afterwards, we heard about all sorts of bugs and we also heard about the update bricking phones.
Not good. And until a few days ago, there was silence in regards to when a fix would arrive to get rid of the bugs.
At the beginning of August we heard about a rumored mid-August release date which probably got many of you hopes up and luckily, you’re not going to be disappointed. Verizon and Motorola have rolled out an update that should take care of most of the bugs that Gingerbread brought along with it.
So, if you own a Droid X and you’ve been having issues – and hey, even if you haven’t – you should probably take a look and see if your phone has an update waiting to be installed. It’s about 11MB and won’t take up too much of your time.
It took awhile, but it appears that the nightmare for some of you has finally ended.
Or has it? Let us know.

Yes and Thanks, that works!
Glad I found this page and didn’t listen to Verizon. Factory reset unnecessary.
It STILL has NOT fixed my text problems!! I have to stay in swype mode just so I can text! I hate swype mode. for as much as I paid for this phone and as much as I pay monthly for it this is bs!
Phone randomly crashes, freezing all the time, keyboard always leggy and malfunctions, everytime I load camera up it freezes, I’ve rebooted 3x, the update did nothing , battery life is awful , never had more problems with any phone more in my life, motorola hardware is garbage
I hate it, I hate it, I hate it. It messed up my camera (no quick delete option) It messed up my music player- now there’s no next/pause/prev icons unless I double tap or slide when I press the top button.
My internet switches between being the same, a tiny bit faster for some pages or just straight up not working or being slower than regular internet. (I’ve had to set it down and just wait for pages to load.)
I think my battery life is actually worse, before it held a charge all day at least. It also messed up several of my downloaded apps. Not to mention that I hate the clunky white look ( I already downloaded the apps to change most of that though.) The texting is still annoying. The update kept bugging me every 4 hours and I finally gave in. Really wish I hadn’t, this is dreadful. If it doesn’t improve I’m going to Verizon to complain because this is no longer worth what I paid and still pay for. Unless anyone knows a way to downgrade w/o wiping the phone and possibly getting a brick?
Based on all of the problems I’m reading about, I don’t want to download the 4.5.602.en.us to my DroidX but I get a reminder every 12 hours. How can I stop the reminder from popping up?
My droid X is garbage i hadnt even had it for more than 1 week and the phone froze on me as soon as i turned it on im deployed to iraq and this phone has made my life hell after the verizon store did a hard reboot the phone worke fine and then i get to iraq and the phone wont stay on for more than 10 seconds without turning off which in turn means that the phone wont charge so i cant connect to wifi to try and download the new update.
Before gingerbread my droid x was the best phone in the world for the last year. Then gingerbread was forced on me after repeatedly refusing it. My phone is now a hugh piece of crap, the worst phone I have ever owned. What is worse ;I Motorola and Verizon are absolutely no help at all.
I don’t see how they can legally hold me to my two year contract
MY GALLERY WONT OPEN ON MY DROID X HOW CAN I FIX THAT??
