Verizon has released the Android software upgrade from version 2.3.340 to 4.5.596. I suggest that you dial *228 and update roaming/towers before you start. I hadn't done that in awhile when I first tried the update it just sat there spinning. Once I did the update roaming deal, it went right on through with the process which took about 15 minutes for me. Rather than me typing it in, just read the documentation on how to do this directly from Verizon.
Once the installation was finished my only real problem was WIFI. The Droid X would connect to my home network, but there was no throughput. Ultimately, I had to change the settings on my router from WPA-Personal to WEP. Then, of course, I had to change the settings on two laptops and a Nook. The XP laptop, in particular didn't like the change but I finally got it going. In my internet searching I found that lots of people are having WIFI problems with this update. Hopefully, it will be fixed soon. As it is, I can connect to a WEP WIFI or a non-secure WIFI, but, for instance, at church I won't be able to use the WIFI because it needs better security than my home network.
