Hey guys, I've been running the new 2.3.4 sbf since last weekend. There is a bug related to the battery reporting that I've noticed and from talking with other users here and at droid forums it doesn't seem to be an isolated problem.

Could you guys that get the soak test check and see if your battery reporting changes when you reboot the phone?? Mine can change 10-20% with each reboot.

It's not a huge deal, but something that is annoying and if we point it out before the end of the soak test maybe we can get it fixed before the official release.

Hopefully, this is just an issue with the SBF and the OTA wont have any problems, but please check because thats a bug we could miss if we aren't paying attention.

Thanks guys

Just rebooted my phone a few times, battery hasn't changed.
[Motorola Droid X2] Heelpir8:
I was rooted on 2.3.3 and was able to upgrade to 2.3.4 but root is dead now.
[Motorola Droid X2] buddyfriendo:
Pete's one click method didn't work for you? The kernel is the exact same as the leaked SBF build, could be slightly altered to kill root with the official update. I'd grab the SBF if you want the latest kernel + 2.3.4 rooted.
[Motorola Droid X2] ilovesoad:
That ota and the sbf are one in the same
[Motorola Droid X2] Heelpir8:
Yeah, will SBF over to that. Just wanted to take the OTA for the lulz. :)
[Motorola Droid X2] X0dus:
I've rebooted many times with the sbf and never noticed. Now on Eclipse 1.0 and haven't noticed either. When I come out of cwm and reboot my battery reads wrong...a couple reboots fixes it.

EDIT: Just rebooted and it's reading 10% higher than b4. First time I noticed it.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
So what is the verdict on being able to root the ota version? Did it get patched or is rooting with Pete one click doable?
[Motorola Droid X2] nateohio:
I've found it does it more when you wear down the battery some, it reliably does it for me after going from a full charge down to around 70%. After reboot it will jump back up to 80-90%.

Anyways, its just something to look for when doing the soak test. It'd be great if the OTA didn't have this issue.
[Motorola Droid X2] X0dus:
I made an edit to my post. Have you found a workaround other than not reboot?
[Motorola Droid X2] nanodan:
You can root with Pete's 1 click root.
[Motorola Droid X2] Sandso9:
Anyone having issues with petes one click root on windows vista/7 try the onerootclick v7 for win xp. I couldn't root with petes one click i kept getting an error but the windows xp version worked fine and rooted
[Motorola Droid X2] nanodan:
Pete's one click failed the first time for me, but it automatically reattempted and it worked the second.
[Motorola Droid X2] nateohio:
Nope, I've tried wiping battery stats, cycling the battery fully (fully charged to completely dead without charging in between), a few times now and haven't been able to get rid of it yet.
[Motorola Droid X2] wdenker:
What is your build number
[Motorola Droid X2] Alan Wolfe:
4.5.1a-dtn-150-30
[Motorola Droid X2] nateohio:
Same here!
[Motorola Droid X2] Elite49:
So once again somethings broken on an update? Looks like I'll wait a little bit to see how this goes. Was just about to upgrade too.
[Motorola Droid X2] mattfox27:
Downloading Update...on rooted phone. Scared to install...

Edit...update failed to install...good i didn't want to install, my phone is running great right now...so i guess rooted phones can download but not install...it keeps bugging you to install so freeze "BlurUpdater_VZW.apk" i just renamed it "BlurUpdater_VZW.apk.BAK"
[Motorola Droid X2] huskerstylee:
Wanna grab 2.3.4....but im kinda lost here

1) all the links for the SBF are expired- cant go that route

2) and I cant install the OTA because Im running eclipse v.08 and cant unroot to accept update then oneclick root.

What r my options here?
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
I saw in the moto forum that if u sbf u need to factory reset which MAY take away ota availability for soak testers. BUT there is a second push tomorrow. U may need to ask matt at the forum what u need to do in order to still be able to get ota soak after sbf IF u even can.

unless u have a nandroid of stock 2.3.3 rooted u can flash. THEN unrooted and it should work.
[Motorola Droid X2] huskerstylee:
Damn, didnt think it would be that difficult. Appreciate the feedback all the same ;)
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
So I take u don't have a stock nandroid made? I ALSO forgot to make the stock rooted backup which would of made getting wet so much easier/available to me. That's what I get for drunk flashing. I woke up to my screen in system recovery saying install finished. I was like nnnnooooo.what have I done?!
[Motorola Droid X2] huskerstylee:
HA! XD ...and no, I did not have the foresight to do that. Didn't see the point in it really until now. What does a guy need to do to get wet around here!
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Take $20 and go down to...wait nevermind hahshahs

im not to worried. By the time I get to a computer to sbf I know eclipse is gonna be running 10x better than it is right now. And I am seeing that it is already sick. I mean hell 8.1 is sick. 1.1 and any newer version before I can sbf is gonna be insane. Delaying gratification for now
[Motorola Droid X2] huskerstylee:
Not jam up this thread, but half my damn prob was finding any functional links to dl sbfs for 2.2.2 or 2.3.3.

U got anything?
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Go here...has files u seek.

Got the IT'S update this morning. The one-click root worked on it just fine. Now have to learn how to android backup my system, then start trying roms out. Just my X2 Monday. Love this phone.
[Motorola Droid X2] jthomas1987:
I meant to say "OTA update". Still learning the keyboard programming. Coming from a LG GW300 QWERTY phone.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
To backup u need the system recovery app from this forum.

Here is where it is http://www.mediafire.com/?y19y123n6tauq7s

Go into recovery mode after install recovery and plug ur phone into wall.

go to backup/restore

Backup

I always choose external
[Motorola Droid X2] juhde:
Anyone who has pulled the update want to upload the zip? It'd be nice to give another upgrade option other than sbfing.
[Motorola Droid X2] nanodan:
I would but that would require me sbfing to 2.3.3 again and redownloading it without installing... So much extra work + a FDR...

Have someone who's rooted but downloaded the update see if they can pull it.

Your phone deletes the zip once it finishes installing...
[Motorola Droid X2] nateohio:
Have any of you guys that pulled the update OTA experienced the erratic battery reporting mentioned previously in the thread?

I'm really hoping that its an issue in the SBF!
[Motorola Droid X2] ilovesoad:
They are the same -.-
[Motorola Droid X2] redfish10:
Is this update the OTA Verizon update or the sbf update.
[Motorola Droid X2] Dark_Wizard:
The OTA is a zip file and the leaked one is an sbf file....
[Motorola Droid X2] phanboy4:
In general though I'm quite liking this update.

It's a vast improvement over 2.3.3, maybe because of kernel tweaks?

Currently running full stock, nothing frozen, no scripts, just rooted.

Very little lag, drastically reduced music skipping, no random reboots, respectable battery life after about 5 days of the leaked SBF.

I am seeing the battery reporting issues when it gets low, but I can deal with that.

The phone finally has a usable stock experience.
[Motorola Droid X2] fargles:
ok first: the OTA, is that for the soak testers only? I am rooted, but that's it... downloaded a wifi tether app and a packet sniffing app. No ROMs or anything yet I can't pull the update. So do I need to SBF back to stock 2.3.3 to pull it?

second: are there any visual differences b/w 2.3.4 and 2.3.3?
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Ota is at soak testers only right now.

I hope that it takes a little bit until full release as there are definitely still bugs that need reworking
[Motorola Droid X2] fargles:
Hmm the only issue I have heard isto something about the battery going little wonky. I have failed doing ANYTHING to this phone lol I can't flash affinity, keep getting stuck in bootloop and I can't SBF to this GB cause I keep either not able to install one version of rsd lite and when I installed a different one it says that the process has failed. So I am stuck waiting g for OTA update until I get some help lol
[Motorola Droid X2] Elite49:
So by the official release some of this could be fixed? In other words these new ROM's would need to be updated again?
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
It CAN BE POSSIBLE.

Likely? No

possible? Yes

Its is MORE likely we will all just be stuck waiting for another update.

That is just how moto is. But it is more due to once people know an update is coming, it doesn't really matter how much bugs there are they will push most likely since people will lash out if they don't get it but others have.

Looking into the crystal ball I see an update to 2.3.4 soon and then maybe a "fix" or stop to that update like a lot experienced with original X update.

or just a flat put delay or even an update and than an updated to 2.3.5 since we all seem to like the numbers.

ALL MOSTLY SPECULATION AND EDUCATED GUESSING ON MY PART
[Motorola Droid X2] fargles:
I just .sbf'd so I shall see what it's like. I have heard a lot of really good things about this update, so hopefully it goes the same with me:3

besides who needs 2.3.5 when 2.3.7 is being pushed now! be optimistic! lol
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
2.3.7?! Like I said. We like numbers for some reason ...
[Motorola Droid X2] huskerstylee:
Im not entirely certain how this works, but my I thought all I needed to receive the soak test was to be enrolled with the Moto Owner's Forum/Survey deal?

Is that not how it works exactly?
[Motorola Droid X2] fargles:
to answer your question, yes... I think

Although I am not in the forum/tester thing, I have heard that some people who WERE enrolled in it but didn't get the soak test. Although my extent of "knowing them" was that they are a regular at a forum I am a regular at so take that with a pinch of salt.

I got the update by SBFing my phone, it was leaked a couple days ago so I downloaded and SBF'd and it's working:)

Maybe someone who is more familiar with moto and their soak tests could clarify/correct me where I am wrong lol
[Motorola Droid X2] Elite49:
I don't mind how many updates we get or how fast as long as we can get some nice upgrades and fixes. Seem's like I'll just wait for official just to see and then upgrade. 2.3.7? Geez, isn't ICS coming out this month? I'd expect us to get that before the end of the year but we'll probably go through at least one more GB update before then fixing whats been broken by this.
[Motorola Droid X2] fargles:
I would love to see ICS on our DX2 but I don't know if we will... and for me (unless the lagging homescreens is a bigger problem then just me) this update has fixed a lot. Probably the last GB we will see, maybe one more with a couple smaller bug fixes. I would love some ICS and hopefully because Moto is part of google now, we will get it but it is still moto..........
[Motorola Droid X2] Elite49:
Homescreen hasn't been lagging for me since Supercharge and no 0verminds Scripts. I don't see why we wouldn't get ICS, we've had 2 updates every 2 months so far, so those who doubted post launch support are surprised :o
[Motorola Droid X2] fargles:
I haven't gotten my root back yet and have not even tried Supercharging but I am pointing the blame at m fancy widget clock... it only lags going back to that screen.

and when you put it like that all the updates sound good, but they almost had to push out these updates fast because of all the issues that were apart of the original build. unless ICS just blows GB out of the water then I am fine with it, and it gives the devs some sort of consistency cause there isn't an update every few months so they don't have to change their ROMs around for each update. But hey if we get it awesome! I just don't think I would mind so much, at least anymore after most things were solved with this last update
[Motorola Droid X2] billmcg:
Well you need to make an account with the Motorola Users Forum

and then you need to sign up for the Motorola Feedback Network (MFN)

(sorry...cant post links...new account)

when the soak comes around the next time, you might get an email survey asking some questions about you, your phone, your location, what Android version you are running, rooted and other questions.

Based on the demographics and their necessities, after completing the survey, you will be informed that you will or will not more than likely be chosen for the soak

if you are more than likely chosen - you will need to have the phone restored to whatever version they tell you to - unrooted and in original software condition to receive the software, it comes as an update at a predetermined time.

if you do not receive the update, it is because the phone isn't in the condition necessary to receive the update. It is still rooted - partially rooted, apps frozen, whatever...

usually they will give you a second chance to get the phone SBF'd back to stock for a second go around usually later in the day - or the next day.

they expect you to participate in private forums and in official surveys after the update to document your experience. I would assume non participation in the surveys/forums might exclude you from future testing.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
I thought I wanted to do the soak test but realized that is it really worth it? All I am doing id testing for bugs and operations when moto should really be doing that more thoroughly themselves imo. I DO see the need for soak test but I also realized I enjoy running roms and being rooted more than I would want to test out a new version that may or may not be a final build.

So instead I decided to not take the soak test and just went back to running eclipse. I can definitely be patient until an "official " is released HOPEFULLY bug free. Then I can be even more patient after that and wait to for some devs to dig in and make the most of it. This is especially true for our x2 since it seems moto os having a hard time releasing the potential of this device whereas some of the roms we DO have are apparently performing better than the stock 2.3.4 update.

just something to keep in mind when you are thinking about doing a soak test. My main concern with accept the soak was maybe not being able to get rooted and even worse maybe not being able to sbf back. Just some thoughts I had I wanted to put out for others that were wanting to join soak in the future :)
[Motorola Droid X2] huskerstylee:
These r good points, didn't look at it that way I suppose. I get all antsy when new things drop and I get my hands on em! But alas, eclipse's rom and the slew of scripts these maniacs have but together for us has my machine running damn smooth- I'm content to wait =]
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Yeah trust me im the same way.

I got the email to dobthe soak test andbwas like HELL YEAH.

I even sbf'd the next day.

then after another day of thinking I changed my mind after realize all that I just posted and how nice my phone was finally running thanks to eclipse.

So I went ahead and rooted and reinstall eclipse . Then froze up FOTA just to be sure I didn't accidentally install if it came thru to me as I had read before freezing /removing FOTA will stop u from getting an OTA update ;)

here's to patience.

And soak testing really is all about mass testing before release. Yeah u get it before others but that just means its up to u to figure where all the little buggies are hiding. Im not really lazy. Just don't want to have any surprise problems I haven't read or been warned about.
[Motorola Droid X2] nanodan:
I do not like SBFing for the sole reason of the hard FDR that is incorporated in it. I took the soak to get the 2.3.4 android version and almost immediately (I did take a few hours floating around things to give Moto even a little bit of feedback) rooted and debloated. I was already running stock 2.3.3 for a very long time so it just saved me the FDR.

I do agree with your earlier post though. Motorola/Android's update service blows. One large update every 6 months per device or some crap. And even when it IS released it's buggy as crap. Then we will have to wait another 6 months after ICS is released to get it. After thinking about this I just went and installed Eclipse 1.1. I stopped caring :)
[Motorola Droid X2] L2_n19h7m4r3:
Screw these updates just unlock the bootloader the rest will take care of itself.
[Motorola Droid X2] fargles:
+(if only I could make an infinity sign) infinity
[Motorola Droid X2] infinity8x3:
My phone is downloading the update now. I'm rooted stock 2.3.3 what happens if i try to apply the update?
[Motorola Droid X2] huskerstylee:
Someone else running Eclipse on 2.3.3 had received the OTA, but it failed to install.

Im noobin it up over here, so Im not much for advice, but his experience seems relevant to ur concern ;)
[Motorola Droid X2] infinity8x3:
Well it took the update. And i didn't even unfreeze bloat with TB this I promise. I'm coming from the pre rooted leak 2.3.3 from team black hat. Lost root that was expected. Surprisingly some bloat is still frozen.

Now I must get root back. Also there is no crt animation on my end,
[Motorola Droid X2] huskerstylee:
Oh, good news, I had the same concern, but F it! Still stuff frozen tho, that seems kinda nuts?! I guess one-click root, and ur off to the races again, bam!:D

oh, and Nitro made a really slick animation for 2.3.4, pretty sure its included on v1.1
[Motorola Droid X2] infinity8x3:
pete's one click root nailed it first time for me! didn't have to wipe, sbf, unroot, like I said I never even unfroze bloat. Maybe it's not the proper way to do it but it worked for me. Oh btw the CRT animation thing wasn't worked because I had animations turned off in settings. Even all my settings in superuser.apk was saved.

Take that for what it's worth guys but thanks as said earlier I'm off to the races lol.
[Motorola Droid X2] Elite49:
Will try this now.

*Edit: Did not work on frozen and unfrozen installs. I have update file I believe though, at least whatever was downloaded to my phone.
[Motorola Droid X2] Afromankam:
Just now recieved my update as soon as I connected to wi-fi. I'm in WA so maybe the folks out west can get their update sooner this way?
[Motorola Droid X2] y0himba:
I'll be the newb here. Can someone post a link to Pete's One-Click? The only link I found is the one for the Droid X, not the X2. Is that the one I need?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1258599

Never mind. De-newb me. Found it. Testing now.
[Motorola Droid X2] infinity8x3:
Ok just so ppl know I installed this update via OTA.

I was originally on pre rooted 2.3.3 this exact version to be specific

http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...-droid-x2-2-3-3-4-5-1a-dtn-117-15-rooted.html

you can even see my posts on the first page of that thread

Also I would like to add that I never ran any of the scripts that "improve" memory management and all that. You know the ones named after things you would associate with cars.

I ran TB and froze the usual bloat with it. And ran a few other root apps like adfee ect.

I checked to see if the update was on my phone because of all the buzz around it. And it was there. I downloaded it via 3G. Then posted here while waiting for the download to finish.

Once done. I said screw it and applied the update. I came from a D1 so I have this bad habit of thinking i can do whatever i want with my phone with no fear of messing it up. None the less the update took.

It did seem to hang while installing but i was patient and it chugged right on threw the update. The phone rebooted and said blah blah blah update successful. I went to about phone to confirm the update took and it indeed did.

After that superuser was gone from my app drawer but was updating threw the market so it was there just not working. And TB cried about not having root. AmazonMP3 was the only frozen bloat app that unfroze with the update. All the VZW apps and blockbuster, ect was still not in my app drawer they were still frozen. I believe because the only actual bloat this update updates is the amazonMP3 since all the other bloat was untouched it remained frozen.

Then I followed the instructions for pete's one click root and gained root back. So far every thing works perfect and on 3.3.4

But i could care less about some of the things ppl are complaining about like battery percentages after reboot and silly stuff like that. If your low on juice just plug it in. Stop scratching your head and rebooting your phone.
[Motorola Droid X2] GibsA750:
I'm not entirely positive, but I believe the official (non-soak) OTA update is available to be pulled directly from Verizon. I was able to pull the update earlier this morning, and I am not a part of the soak testing.

Now I have a pulled update waiting to install, but I'm not on stock, any suggestions?
[Motorola Droid X2] y0himba:
I have tried to install the OTA (non-soak) I got this morning, however it keeps failing. I am on pre-rooted 2.3.3, and have unfrozen all the bloat....
[Motorola Droid X2] infinity8x3:
That's the story I keep hearing to. But what I don't understand is how did it work for me?

My phone is no diff than any ones hardware wise. And I'm not trolling or exaggerating about how I updated.

This by all means doesn't make since. What exactly triggers the update to fail I wonder I mean it can't just look for superuser.apk or busybox and say oh hi there now i wont install.

Is there any way to get the exact update i have off of my phone like is it in a cache some where?
[Motorola Droid X2] y0himba:
I am going to SBF to 2.3.3 stock, then OTA or SBF to 2.3.4..I have no idea why it failed, wish there was a log of some sort.
[Motorola Droid X2] Elite49:
This is what was downloaded to my phone,

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ZTM9EVGQ

No clue what we can do with it, can't install manually can we?
[Motorola Droid X2] buddyfriendo:
You can install it manually if you put it in the root of your SD card and boot into stock recovery. But you have to be running stock, no root or de-bloating..etc for it to work.
[Motorola Droid X2] shilohreynolds:
Its not as bad as I thought even with bloatware on its pretty quick responsive lost root but fix that after work
[Motorola Droid X2] y0himba:
I was able to SBF to 2.3.4...didn't lose anything except apps that require root. Pete's One Click worked perfectly, then I did *228 and everything is working. Nothing at all lost.
[Motorola Droid X2] L2_n19h7m4r3:
Is the battery issue fixed?
[Motorola Droid X2] y0himba:
I have no idea. Don't really care. I know my phone is running beautifully, and I use Battery Monitor Pro if I need to see my battery level.

Since switching to Launcher Pro, I get incredible battery life, so haven't really noticed.
[Motorola Droid X2] L2_n19h7m4r3:
I have a 2600mah battery so on 2.3.4 (soak test anyway) I know I'm not getting what I should for battery life. Oh well 2.3.3 is fine.
[Motorola Droid X2] Elite49:
As in the reporting or the stand by glitch? How much are you getting...
[Motorola Droid X2] L2_n19h7m4r3:
In terms of reporting, when I get down to about 5%, I'm getting shutdown, when I know damn well my battery is around 50+%.
[Motorola Droid X2] mattfox27:
Is this still soak test or did it go public yet?
[Motorola Droid X2] Elite49:
