My phone is stuck on the "Checking for available update. Please wait..." screen whereas yesterday it would say "no update found" instantly.

Exciting.....

PSA: First Android 2.2 Froyo leak for the Droid X is a hoax


All you Motorola Droid X users are probably foaming at the mouth right now in anticipation of the Android 2.2 Froyo update for your sizable smartphone, and today it seemed that your wait had come to an end. A couple tech blogs were reporting that the Android 2.2 ROM for the Droid X had been leaked, and was ready to endow your big-screened Motorola handset with some sweet Froyo lovin’! But, user beware, the ROM in question is not legit and is not going to do anything other than frustrate you to no end. Do not download it.
When the Nexus One first got a Froyo build leaked, about 4 different versions of virtually the same build followed it. With the Froyo update looming just over the horizon for Droid X users, it’s easy to see how someone could get worked up and tricked into thinking that the real-deal Android 2.2 ROM had been leaked for the X. Alas, it seems that this here update is nothing more than Froyo for the original Droid, which is being rolled out by Verizon this week and has also been legitimately leaked (nevermind the use of “legitimate” and “leak” in the same sentence) – in fact, we have a tutorial on how to manually update your Motorola Droid to Android 2.2.
The first clue that tipped us off to the illegitimate nature of this “leak” was that one of the links to the Froyo file pointed to Google. It would make sense to see the Android 2.2 ROM for the Droid on Google’s servers, because the handset provided a true Google experience and avoided the use of custom skins. But, the Motorola Droid X uses the MotoBlur skin atop Android 2.1 OS, which means it’ll probably never get an official update from Google. The second clue is in the update instructions, which makes reference to a keyboard key. The X has no physical keyboard. Done.
Go ahead and check out the link below to see the Droid Froyo ROM masquerading as the Droid X Froyo ROM for yourself. Just don’t try to install it, okay?
Android 2.2 for Droid X – NOT SO FAST!

A friend of mine works for Motorola and gets a lot of the new products to test software, I saw him last week and he had the Droid X running Froyo with some new Moto software cooked in (similar to Blur). It was running pretty choppy, but that's most likely due to the moto software implementation still in the works. The device of course had the 'Classified property of Motorola' sticker on it.
I think I'm gonna see him again tomorrow, anything you guys want me to look at/check out? I have an HD2 running Android so I'm not really looking for anything on the X.
