So a few days ago I had upgraded my Droid to 2.2 Froyo. This new firmware was supposed to greatly increase the speed of almost everything on the phone. However, it had a very annoying side effect.
After listening to music using PowerAMP for the last few days, I decided to check what the difference between the default music player and PowerAMP was. This was a bad idea. I was listening to a song for a while, and when I tried changing the song, the phone seemed extremely slow. So slow that almost nothing could be done on it. After a minute or so, the droid would completely freeze up and nothing would work anymore. I found that the only way to fix this is by removing the battery and then reinserting it. I thought that I had broken my droid or something, but then I found out that it was a glitch that occurs on droid x's thats been updated to 2.2.
In terms of the results of my experiment, PowerAMP was clearly better, although the default music app was no slouch! I just hope that firmware 2.3 (Gingerbread) fixes these issues by the time it comes out.
