The major change: the phone plugged into the oryginal HTC CAR KIT is charging in the USB mode (0.5 A max) instead of AC (1A max.) In practice, you can not use satellite navigation (which consumes more than 0.5 A). Very annoying bug.

problems encountered

Hi.. i have recently installed the developer's update and found 2 annoying problems...

1. i seem to have a hard time connecting via wifi on a network that i was able to connect in the past when my phone was in stock froyo..

and

2. when i was able to connect to the network, i can't log in my google account.. i was able to log-in my facebook and twitter account with no problem.. but when i try to connect my google account, i always get an error message..

does anyone experience this too?
[Desire General] Q-Logic:
Native support for taking screenshots, no need to root, but awaiting supporting apps on the market.
[Desire General] micks_address:
Noob question this - i've installed the stephen lins keyboard from the market.. but i do i get it come up instead of the default android keyboard in messages etc?

Is there another new people widget? I only remember 2 previously, now there are 3.
[Desire General] iLHaNroID:
before we used to hold vol-down button pressed and power-on to enter into boot menu, now it isn't working because shut-down is not acting as it was before and this cannot be used in restart either.

Is there another way to do do?
[Desire General] andQlimax:
With the new update htc introduced the fast boot option, it is enabled by default, so ur phone doesn't turn off completely

To enter to the boot menu, go into Menu --> Settings --> Applications and untick Fast Boot option (i think should be there)..In this way when u shutdown the phone, it will turn off completely, then u can enter in boot menu as usual :)
[Desire General] theoverseer:
Just noticed that the low battery pop up is different.
[Desire General] cruxifi3d:
Hi.. aside from vol-down button, try to hold down home menu button as well..
[Desire General] cruxifi3d:
Hi.. have you experienced not receiving a warning when your battery hit <15%? I was surprised my desire just shut itself down without recieving any warning/notice...
[Desire General] fblasot:
I think it happened to me today, shut down without warning...maybe after gingerbread update we need to recalibrate battery ?
[Desire General] cruxifi3d:
That I am not sure... But I guess there's no harm in trying, right? :)
[Desire General] iLHaNroID:
thanks...

Gingerbread has nothing to do with Sense. Gingerbread is the base OS that google creates (version 2.3.x) and Sense is modifications that HTC has made on top of Android.

This is gingerbread and HTC never promised to give Sense 2.1.

Nope, working fine got 15%, 10% and 5%
[Desire General] Foxhunter123:
I just cannot get my Desire to stop vibrating when getting a call!?!? Vibrate is unchecked in sound settings!

Have downloaded sound manager v2 and with some calls it doesn't vibrate but with others it does - also the case when the same person calls...?

Please help me if you can! :-)
[Desire General] nitemarc:
Sounds good if it's true. Can anyone confirm if there's no need to root a phone anymore to take screenshots on GB?
[Desire General] a.trimarchi:
Does anyone have user made folders with apps in it? With mine, all the icons in the folder have reverted to the standard green android icon. Have tried adding them again to a new folder and the same thing happens. Anyone else having the same issue?
[Desire General] Draqula:
I have the exact same problem. Gmaps became recently available in my country and after the update it's gone.
[Desire General] nightcrow:
Since the GB-update I've had problems with the camera. It freezed three times already and the phones reboots after a while. Happens randomly. This, together with the missing market apps (Touchdown key, Tweetcaster pro) makes me want to go back to Froyo. Can't I just use an RUU to do that? Saw one on Androidforums.
[Desire General] fblasot:
Today I test warning low Battery popup and I got correctly 15, 10 and 5% popup...so yesterday I though I missed popup since phone was in the pocket...
[Desire General] schhh87:
i had the same problem. Solved this with saving "scene", open another scene, and when 2nd scene is loaded, opening again the 1st ( problematic ) scene again.
[Desire General] gerhard_wa:
I too can trigger this reboot, but I never have to since it will only happen if I touch the display, and I never do that. I take pics by pressing the trackball.

The phone will reboot around the third or fourth time i touch the display when camera is in shooting mode. Never otherwise.
[Desire General] Draqula:
I just tried this in shooting mode:

- Touching the screen 4-6 times (change focus point)

- Taking 4 pictures in a row using the screen

I couln't get it to reboot.
[Desire General] matt.xx:
I experience the reboots when using the camera too. I touch and hold screen to focus, the phone freezes and restarts every time. Usually after 1-2 photos
[Desire General] cip_ro:
What update did you use? you can upload the file?

tnx
[Desire General] gengolf:
SD-Card Readingspeed much faster.

From 5,2 MB/s (Froyo) to 10,9 MB/s (since Gingerbread) 16 GB Class2 Card.

Benchmarktool "SD-Tools"
[Desire General] nightcrow:
You're right it only happens when you use the screen to take the picture. Pressing the trackball seems to work fine. Thanks for posting this. I always used to take pictures by touching the screen. Weird bug though.

Considering this and the missing apps from the market I should go back to Froyo if I could. Then root and flash a custom 2.3. Problem is there's no option (yet) to go back and HTC probably won't bother because it's a 'developers-rom'...
[Desire General] gerhard_wa:
Are you really sure you have set to show all under the settings? I can see the apps you are missing...
[Desire General] Roboffabike:
Just joined here to say that I have the same issue, it has been driving me mad as I have tried every USB lead under the sun etc

To clarify, I get 'Charging AC' if I directly attach the USB lead to Desire but 'Charging USB' through the dock. Switching car mode on/off makes no difference.

It was definitely working under Froyo on Monday, bust since GB on Tuesday.
[Desire General] nightcrow:
I changed the settings to 'show all' in the market but still can't find the Touchdown-key (link) and Tweetcaster pro (link). Also in the webversion of the markt it says these apps aren't compatible with my HTC Desire:

Are you sure you can find the apps I linked to above in the market (and you're on the official 2.3-update :))?
[Desire General] fblasot:
For me no reboot, tested 10 photos all done with touching and hold screen...
[Desire General] a.trimarchi:
Same camera issue for me
[Desire General] gerhard_wa:
Yes I'm on official 2.3.3 and I see both apps in market. Though you cant install the pro apps at once, as it says on the web page you link: You have to install "Exchange for Android 2.x" (I see this one) and then buy the update to get the pro key.

Tweetcaster is the same, you have to install the free version (I see this) first and then get the pro (adfree) key. I don't see any compatability warning on my page as I follow your link...
[Desire General] sudkcoce:
Is the scrolling really as smooth as on the iphone? That's the only thing that bothers me on my desire...
[Desire General] Henningway:
Bluetooth stereo sound - A2DP bitpool issue status

For me it has been a major drawback, that stereo sound quality transmitted to my bluetooth speakers and car stereo has been so bad with my stock Desire Bravo.

Does anyone have experiences with the gingerbread release? Has the A2DP bitpool issue been corrected?

Thanks in advance!
[Desire General] vszulc:
Re: Scrolling...

Yup, I'd say its smooth as an iPhone... In the app drawer and (especially) in the browser.

(Besides the improved app to SD, my favorite improvement is the browser. A lot more polished and mature.)

That's why I wanted the official RUU, instead of a reworked update that some dev had wrecked with "modifications"...

Just noticed the improved SD card speed as well... I get 11-12 mb/s consistently in every test I've run.

Re: Camera crashing...

Haven't been able to reproduce it... Clicked everywhere on the screen, but no reboots or crashing as some people have described.
[Desire General] kumar_s:
I am in the USA and have a Desire from Hong Kong (branded). I just upgraded the phone to GB using the RUU. Everything works fine except that as confirmed by others, I have lost the root and the S-off. And I can't downgrade! Bummer!

I was starting to like Oxygen but screwed it up in my haste! Now eagerly awaiting the root for this.
[Desire General] nightcrow:
Strange... Might be country-specific or something. I just downloaded the free version of Tweetcaster but still no sign of Tweetcaster pro in the market. Webversion still says compatibilty-issues. Thanks anyway for your advice!

Will go to a shop tomorrow and let it be rooted with xtc-clip. Seems like that's the only solution for now.
[Desire General] Roboffabike:
Update on this: Rebooting to safe mode 'fixes' this...Not sure how I work out which app is the problem. Unfortunately, when I reboot back to 'normal' mode, it still doesn't charge at AC.
[Desire General] h_r_j:
Compass?

I was all set to update my Desire to GB, but then suddenly remembered that some GB updates on other phones had compass problems.

Can anyone who has updated try an app that uses the compass, such as Google Sky Map, and confirm if it works fine?
[Desire General] erklat:
Those were all leaks with snq kernel. I don't think official suffers from the same stuff. Furthermore, snq rectified it too since v03 if I'm right.
[Desire General] h_r_j:
Well, Droid X, Samsung Galaxy S and HTC Evo 4G had this problem in the official GB releases! Seems to have been solved on Evo 4G and Galaxy S in the newer official updates. Droid X still has the problem.

So, still waiting for actual confirmation that there is no compass issue on Desire GB
[Desire General] aindow:
The battery use screen is now different too. It shows a graph showing the rate of battery depletion. Touch the graph and it expands along with a timeline to show a rough indication of how long something has been running.

I also noticed the only option for English now shows as English (United States) under the Language and Keyboard option.

Rik.
[Desire General] vszulc:
Re: Compass, I can confirm that it works...

Issues like compass not working, or cameras not working properly is exactly why I prefer original roms, as opposed to the custom ROMs... Things tend to work better.

(Though if you love tinkering, more power to ya..)

Yeah, that's one of my favorite Gingerbread features... The graphs are really good for figuring out where your power goes, and if there's a problem with one of your apps.

That's odd... I got several different kinds of English on my phone.

Btw, here's another new feature that might be interesting. The Danish keyboard is different, and much better with the Danish æøå characters. I suspect other European keyboards have been improved as well.
[Desire General] marcinb24:
Me too have camera issue, sometimes restart phone, taking picture trackpad...
[Desire General] Draqula:
I have tried the camera for some days now - still no restart by taking pictures by touching the screen.

Also the compass works fine and no issues with wifi - connects to a network faster than my win7 laptop.

Issues so far:

- Batstat widget keeps changing to F (fahrenheit) instead of C (celsius) - doesn't remember the selection of C. Used to work fine on stock froyo. It's a shame cause it's a nice little widget (small memory footprint) and shows %, temp and voltage in 1x1.

- Google Maps not available on the Market, was available before when I was on stock froyo

- Widgetsoid GPS switch still turns GPS on-off but as a sideeffect opens the 'Location' setup menu at the same time
[Desire General] gerhard_wa:
Yes I can confirm that the Swedish keybord also now has separate keys for our special chars åäö. When running Froyo I always had to install a keyboard app from market together with a dictionary and apps like this that need to run all the time are not sd-card movable.

I only have one English language choice, US. But you can get More locale 2 from market that will do the trick.
[Desire General] h_r_j:
Compass

Thanks for confirming that compass works.

I updated to GB just now, and yes it works fine. In fact, it is better than the compass in Froyo, which used to require calibration everytime I started an app that uses compass! That's one more for the changelog.
[Desire General] predrag2:
I have a problem with the camera, but the problem happens only when the flash is off!
[Desire General] dezpo:
Am having a WiFi disconnect issue, it gets disconnected frequently.

Any solutions?
[Desire General] decmk:
When you change voicemail number, changes not work until you reboot.
[Desire General] decmk:
Try to set wifi sleep policy. Its diferent then froyo by default.
[Desire General] decmk:
I just notice one great thing.

I set default install location to be sdcard.

When i install widget, it install on sdcard. Now when i move to the phone memory, widget appear in widgets list, no need to reboot like on froyo. ;-)
[Desire General] kumar_s:
Where do you set the default install location? I assume that you are talking about the Gingerbread update.
[Desire General] decmk:
Using adb from android sdk

adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2

Default is 0 (auto)

This will enable move to sd on some more already installed apps.
[Desire General] Draqula:
Indeed... I just tried it - if the flash is off, it will restart (took me 4 photos)

Previously I tested with flash set to auto and couldn't get it to restart.
[Desire General] 08r3308:
Installed last night and everything is so much snapier and with all my stuff installed there's more memory. Camera works fine. Will check battery in few days
[Desire General] erklat:
What about when you reboot, do your widgets load normally or fail to load?
[Desire General] decmk:
Wigdets must be on phone memo.
[Desire General] fblasot:
I tried with flash set to off, took 10 photos with touching screen, no restart !
[Desire General] Roboffabike:
Further update: The safe mode 'trick' only worked once, have since Factory resetted the phone but it still doesn't AC charge.

On the positive side, the battery usage seems better so it doesn't lose a lot of charge whilst on Sat Nav. (Clutching at straws here...)
[Desire General] gerhard_wa:
I just had some market trouble looking a bit like some others too have written about. Installed apps were missing under my apps and one I couldn't find in the download list even though I have it installed.

After some googeling I found out that under running programs deleting the cache in the market app was the way to fix it, and it totally did!

It seems it’s not only Desire or even HTC related, because I read it in a LG forum.
[Desire General] aindow:
The battery on mine seems much improved compared to froyo. Currently have 38% left after over 27 hours on battery with Bluetooth active.

Another subtle change is when changing the ring volume using the volume buttons there is now a different note played depending on the volume instead of just a beep.
[Desire General] fred_be9300:
Hmm, same here...

Also, I seem to have lost "unread mail count" on the mail icon in home screen. Anyone notice that? Is this a gingerbread change? Or doing something wrong here? Using Teppic74's ROM
[Desire General] Terepin:
****, they included GPU+ in kernel. Sweet!
[Desire General] gerhard_wa:
20% boost i 3D apps, wasn't it?
[Desire General] fred_be9300:
Now the count is back... Maybe mail app got confused coz I did a restore of its settings with Titanium
[Desire General] abdullahi:
same here camera issue. if the flash is off, it will restart too.......too bad
[Desire General] spritable:
Damn it... yesterday I found the same camera issue. When flash is off and using touch focus, the phone will restart or freeze.
[Desire General] Sierran:
Yep.. When i use touch focus desire freeze after 4 photo :<
[Desire General] micks_address:
Hi Guys,

Off topic but a question on Stephen Lings keyboard.. is there a button to 'dismiss' the keyboard like there is on the stock android one?
[Desire General] rocjoh:
No lock

After the official GB update, No Lock's wake-up-from-sleep-with-any-hardware-key function is not working...

I tried the similar function of battery indicator pro, but it didn't work either. Is there any similar app working with the desire's official GB? It's really annoying...
[Desire General] ansonun:
Does anyone notice that camera has a problem with flashlight

The flashlight will flash 2 times when I take a photo with flashlight.

In froyo, the camera will capture at the second flashlight,

But in gingerbread, it will capture at the first time.

As result, I get a dark photo in gingerbread...
[Desire General] Rew64:
Just tied it with mine and it's OK takes the picture at the second flash.

Using Pre-rooted Stock Gingerbread (3.14.405.1) by teppic74 with no other mods.
[Motorola Droid X2] myriad46:
OK folks, this one is a bit odd. I loaded up P3Droid's rooted 2.3.3 and it's been running great so far, save for one buggy thing.

I opened my camera and the photo portion of the screen (not the whole screen) started to flash in an out, in sync with the camera focus klunk (which seems to be more pronounces in gingerbread, btw). It took me a while, but I figured out that it is somehow linked to the auto-location tagging. The "searching for location" message was blinking as well in the upper left-hand corner. If I turn off the auto tagging feature in the camera app, it works just fine.

So, I played around a bit and found that if I leave VZW location and gps enabled, but disable google location services, I can leave auto location tagging on and have no problem.

Also, auto focus or continuous focus doesn't seem to matter.

Thoughts?
[Motorola Droid X2] juhde:
Possibly you froze/deleted a system app that its associated with?

That's all I got of the top of my head...
[Motorola Droid X2] myriad46:
Good thought, I forgot to mention, I have not frozen anything. Fully bloated and stock (other than root) :-)
[Motorola Droid X2] PnoT:
My brother has had the exact same issue on 2.2.2 bone stock and I had to turn off the location tagging to get it to stop. I'd love to hear of a fix for this as well...

what are some tweaks everyone is using on their stock F/W's?

I have removed:

sony sync, setup and guides, some of the stock apps that i don't use

added:

bravia engine (might remove due to suspicious battery consumptions)

misc tweaks:

build.prop

changed vm heapsize to 48m

added windowsevent line

added scripts to change read_ahead to 3072 (works best with my sccard)

disabled a lot of start up apps

hitting around 1372 in quadrant and 36-37 in linpack

- prevent lag after boot if you have lots of pictures and don't use the 3D gallery at all but QuickPic or another alternative: install Rescan Media Root from Market.

Another way would be to simply rename the gallery but then adding images to contacts doesn't work.

- free root explorer: Estrong File Explorer, the root mode didn't work in 2.1, but it does now!

- AppWidgetPicker still works in GB (display submenus for widget selection instead of a long list)

- turning off the button leds still works in GB:

#! /system/bin/busybox sh

DIR=$(cd /sys && find | grep brightness | cut -c 3- | cut -d : -f 1 | head -n 1)

LED=/sys/$DIR

[XPERIA X10 General] baz@gmx.co.uk:
@OP - i was just about to start a thread like this!!

For those of us that would like to keep the stock rom and apply tweaks ourselves we need people that know the tweaks to share them! Should we use autokiller/sysctl for example?

How about spare parts with compcache/swapiness@15..?

i look forward to hearing what is possible!

@op, i set VM to 64, but not sure if there is a noticeable difference!

[XPERIA X10 General] baz@gmx.co.uk:
as quoted here in step 13. < this is from a tweaks guide for 2.1

For the thread, if you are experiencing problems downloading from your browser:

d/l astro file manager from the market, go into preferences (more/preferences) and tick the "enable browser downloads" box. this is not my find, I read it earlier somewhere here on xda :D
