that's a great point, because froyo also COMPLETELY changes the way the OS pre-loads or caches apps on start up and in the background. its like they just decided to make a total overhaul from a 2.1 to 2.2 update. i still cant figure it out. and none of it is listed in the 2.2 SDK changelog or anywhere else.
[Nexus One General] ianken:
That's a valid point. However, this is allegedly a release candidate. Issues that would be ship-shoppers should have been resolved before hand. Major apps like Pandora should not be broken. The media framework should be locked down and changes published in the SDK. New functionality or breaking changes isolated to new APIs. Usability testing should have identified the dock issues. In fact usability testing should have pointed out that no audio output on the N1 dock is a bad design.

All of these issues point to GOOG still struggling as a company that releases their bins and SDK for public consumption.
[Nexus One General] lostsoul3471:
Yeah, this isn't a Froyo specific issue and most likely hardware that can't really be fixed. Thought it could be light related, like if you're in direct sunlight it would loose calibration or something. Then I did noticed that most of the time this happens is when the phone gets really hot. 10min in the car dock on a sunny day and I guarantee I have to hit the power button to lock the screen and then swipe back to clear the bug.
[Nexus One General] Orangeandblue302:
ok so i did a factory reset, the first i have done since owning the nexus and it fixed the Capacitive buttons not lighting up and After about two days of use I haven't had the screen registry errors yet. I hope that was all it needed!!
[Nexus One General] pfmiller:
Who said it was a release candidate? I never heard anyone from Google call it that. The as official as it gets word from Google is that the Froyo build from Google I/O was not yet at the performance or quality level that were aiming for. In other words that release was a beta, it never was something they were considering for release.

As for Pandora not working correctly, don't you think this beta was released to developers specifically so they can get their apps ready for when Froyo is released? I know Last.fm has already said their app has been updated for 2.2, are they having sound problems as well?

Seriously, you're complaining about unsupported, beta software not being ready?? That doesn't make any sense at all.

That's true. That's what kept me from buying one, I really can't believe they left that out.
[Nexus One General] sergey.povzner:
Nice to see landscape mode working in both directions. But N1 orientation sensor is now working poorly in both FRF50 and FRF72. With 2.1 it used to be much more robust.
[Nexus One General] sergey.povzner:
Also location detection via EDGE/3G doesn't work after reboot with wi-fi and gps disabled (FRF72). Didn't test this in FRF50.
[Nexus One General] sergey.povzner:
Used to have this issue in FRF72. Seems to be fixed in FRF83.
[Nexus One General] xavier7:
I thought the final by release FRF83 would solve the video record button being too loud, but it didn't...

Still having static/distortion when pressing video record button...
[Nexus One General] superscientific:
At least you are getting video recording. Mine still freezes an reboots. Anyone have any idea how to fix this?
[Nexus One General] minniecafe:
My Camera can't take video anymore; once start, the phone will freeze, then turn of and restart again...Donno what happen!
[Nexus One General] tankmorph:
I'm on FRF83. I'm having an issue now (wasn't a problem on FRF50 or FRF72) with USB tethering. If I end the tethering by unchecking the box on the phone first, the connection box on the PC system tray will lock up and I end up having to reboot the PC to clear it. I found if I disable the connection at the PC end first via the system tray icon, I can disconnect no problem.

This is on an old XP machine at work. I tether all the time to get on the internet. I never had this issue before FRF83. I realize it might be some crazy problem with the PC, too. My Windows 7 machine at home doesn't have this issue.

At least I found a work around, so it's not that big of a deal. Just something I noticed.

Overall, I love Froyo!
[Nexus One General] Mangraa:
No apps responding in FRF83!! Rollback to 50 possible?

So I have an unrooted N1, was using FRF50 with zero issues, updated to FRF83 and now, NOTHING BEYOND STOCK APPS WILL RUN. Everything hangs and FCs. I haven't found (with a cursory search) anyone having the same issues as me...

So I want to go BACK to FRF50 and say screw it, I'll wait till the OTA. Can I get BACK to FRF50 directly or go through the stock-> 2.1 -> FRF50 thing?

Or I'll gladly accept advice on how to get things running on 83, but yeah, no apps will load. No bueno. Thanks!
[Nexus One General] Mangraa:
Amended to previous post...

Ok, it appears that some of my apps ARE working now ... so I'm guessing this is just another dev-needs-to-update-their-stuff-for-frf83 kind of thing...

*sigh* of course, it's the apps I use the MOST, but still...

But just so I know regardless (trip coming up, kind of need full functionality), to get back to FRF50, start from the beginning, right?

Thanks
[Nexus One General] superscientific:
I wish I knew how to fix it!
[Nexus One General] mgymnop:
the home launcher has definitely a bug. I used now launcher pro beta for a while and and the swiping is so smooth and the sensitivity of the home screen is consistent. If you use the Froyo standard home launcher there are two problems. The "missed swipe" phenomenon between homescreens or the application launcher. Another problem that is weird too: I have the feeling that the sensitivity of the touchscreen when swyping between homescreens is inconsistent: sometimes the swyping between homescreens is very smooth and you don't have to touch very hard...sometimes it is slow like molasses to swype between them.

I don't have any problem with my Wifi connection and sleep policy and I don't have any program freezing....
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
I mean seriously this has been covered like a billion times. If you don't upgrade your radio to the new one then it breaks your video camera in froyo.

If you already were aware of that then sorry.
[Nexus One General] SBERG117:
My problem - Apps that are able to move on their own to sd card are still turning generic on my homescreen as well as disappearing from my 3d app roledex. As before with FRF50 i can access apps either through the now generic icons or from manage apps.

In the older method of apps to sd did this same problem occur? ( older meaning creating partitions and such)

I was told in the past this was a bug in the FRF50 build but its still here. Even though the apps are able to move on their own is there still work to be done by the developers to bring them up to date with FRF83?

Example - Titanium backup. When i go to settings/applications/manage applications/Titanium backup and press "Move to sd card". It moves no problem. Exit out of everything to homescreen, everything is fine. A while later im out and check my phone and Titanium back up icon has turned to a green generic android icon. Check roledex and its gone completely.

I assume im not alone in this, i just want to hear some real clarification on what the deal is with it, ya know. I do understand some apps shouldnt be stored there but if the developer frees it up to do so then i assume its supposed too,right? lol Anyway if its just a matter of waiting for devs to upgrade all their stuff then thats cool.:D:D:D:D
[Nexus One General] yiannit:
if they implemented the music streaming yet
[Nexus One General] superscientific:
Sorry I wasn't aware of that. Can I just upgrade without reverting back? Can you be kind enough to link me to the radio I need on the AT&T version? I would really appreciate it. Thank you.
[Nexus One General] grennis:
Well I am also having severe battery drain with Email app using Exchange. The Systempanel app shows that indeed Email is burning tons of CPU and the "total CPU time" is off the scale in comparison to the other apps.

It is the worst with push email on... with polling, the battery still drains and systempanel still shows CPU usage (even when it should not be polling anything!) but the total battery drain is not as bad.

This is really annoying especially since nobody else seems to have this problem... someone else put an issue on Google Code here but they blamed it on SSL certs which I do not think is the problem... http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9455
[Nexus One General] gratti:
One new issue that I found today has to do with folders. I'll try to explain here what's going on with me.....

I have some widgets, apps and 1 single folder on my main home screen for quick access. So when I try to place new app in the home screen from my Applications, instead of the icon get pulled into the spot I want it simply disappear into a void. No matter where I try to place the new app it simply disappear. So to fix it I rebooted the phone and I found that all the icons I attempted to place on the home screen are inside the one folder, like it was opened all the times i tried to place the app in the home screen.

Has any1 had this problem as well?? And how to fix it aside rebooting the phone?

thx
[Nexus One General] luojs:
Confirmed. This have happen to me twice already.
[Nexus One General] bigmout:
Interesting... I actually noticed dramatically better battery life after deleting an Exchange account. But this was on 2.1, BEFORE I upgraded to FroYo.
[Nexus One General] snlu178:
I did blame it on SSL, mostly because that is what Google and my IT told me. but after your other response it could be something else.

All I know is that once exchange is turned on, it polls constantly and the cpu runs up and battery dies. Google's response "that is not supposed to happen, I dont know why that is going on".

Lets hope for a fix, cause as of now I am stuck on Touchdown which I do not like.

[Nexus One General] JeepFreak:
Perhaps more of an annoyance, but if you purchase an app, and allow it to automatically update, but then you uninstall the app, it will continue to re-install until you uncheck the "allow automatic updating" box.

When I'm in my house I Max the wifi at 1 bar less than full. Before 91 it was always full in parts of my house.

Love having flash but its unbearable when scrolling and there's two or Mrs, definitely doesn't feel embedded as previously mentioned

Takes at least two tries to move apps to SD, worked fine on all prior versions

A little frustrating that final version brought problems I didn't have in prerelease versions but I still love having froyo. Can't wait for the ui improvements

I like that shortcut icons for bookmarks now show a much bigger favicon for the site.

It feels like clicking links in the browser is really inconsistent and sometimes near impossible. Sometimes it flashes yellow like it has been pressed, then I see action in the address bar like it is about to start going to the page... then it just goes nowhere. One time I clicked a link and it closed my browser. Weird.
[Nexus One General] helfone:

Yay! They fixed (sort of) that damned joined contacts bug and Twitter contacts. To get it to work make sure you edit your Google or FaceBook contact FIRST then join the Twitter contact.

I had to disable the stock SMS notification for it to work as well. I use SMS Popup for text notification.

EDIT: That's what it is. SMS Popup is giving me the colored trackball. Sorry for the confusion. So if the app has a trackball color option it'll work.

lame looks like none of the app installer apps work with 2.2 , I suppose to have better control on where the apps are installed? sd or not?
[Nexus One General] malicious85:
no, send yourself a text, and turn the screen off, trackball will light up as it should
[Nexus One General] ImSoHungry:
if you backed up your APK's to your SD card or computer, you can install them using ASTRO which is what i did.

I backed up with My Backup Pro prior to upgrading, backup pro saved all my apk's inside a zipped file on my SD card, opened the zip with ASTRO, isntalled my backup pro, re-zipped and then used My Backup Pro to restore ;)

kongregate.com worked great for me, well alchemy did, didn't try anything else. lol

What exactly you mean? If you log into your account after a wipe, it restores your old synced settings, and will start to download apps. I guess If you then go to turn off that feature, it just finishes what ones it has started.

As far as trackball colors, my GF is reporting that when I send her a SMS in stock messenger app, the trackball flashes yellow, everything else is white. On my end it is all white. We think that Handcent caused a different color as well, but it crashed so much that she had to uninstall and we can not test again.

Turning the sound off from the lock screen now puts it on vibrate.
[Nexus One General] tuatha:
Well, when they talked about the music streaming they announced the section as 'looking beyond FroYo'.

Some people are guessing that this means music streaming will be in Gingerbread... I doubt they'll keep this under wraps for that long, though.

If you noticed, the music player in the presentation looked very different to the one in 2.1/2.2 too.

The impression I got was that this would all be tied in with the new music market, which isn't live yet. So we'll probably be looking at a whole new music player (iTunes style) to accompany the changes to the market and to allow syncing.

Simplify Media already had a working model on the iPhone, so it seems unlikely that it'll take another five or six months to get it up and running on Android, especially now that they've got Google behind them.

Additionally, when they left the Apple market in March, they said they were going to continue offering their service to existing customers for 'at least the next three months'... which is an oddly specific number and ties in pretty neatly with the release of FroYo.

Total and complete speculation here, obviously... but I would hope that we'll see this feature go live over the summer.

Does Gtalk allow using secondary google account? or are we still stuck to using the first google account?

Same question about calendar as well

Oh no sorry, I mean apps that allow you to modify the LED color such as Missed Call, or Handcent, still operate the way they would on Cyanogen mod - they still change the trackball color. But only when the screen is off..

I don't see trackball notifications for SMS :(
