Motorola DROID X 2.2.1 Update Now Rolling Out; Motorola Tried to be Sneaky
It appeared the Motorola DROID X’s 2.2.1 update was live and rolling out to at least a small test group the other day, but a lot of folks weren’t seeing it. (At least a few reports confirmed that you could download the upgrade whether you were a part of the test group or not.) While many have settled for doing it manually with the file XDA released yesterday, others want to wait.
Thankfully, it wasn’t because there was a problem with the software, but because they were absent-minded when they tried to sneak the update out in the wee hours of the night for their initial test group: the DROID X has battery saving technology which – if you don’t change it – shuts the phone’s radios down at night.
They’ve facepalmed, they’ve apologized, and they’ve now opened the floodgates for even more folks to download and install the update as they’ve been met with a positive reaction from those who have been using it for the past couple of days with no serious issues to note. Go ahead and try it by checking Settings > About Phone > System Updates to see if an update is ready. [via AC]
