Yes very happy!

- Faster

- apps2sd works like a charm

- nice new apps and widgets

- overall feel is faster and more smooth

- camera performance is faster

I tested apss2cd with a 10 mb app. it moved about 8mb to the sdcard.

small prob:

- some apps i bought in the market place i deleted before the update. They don't show up in the market place anymore. Not with downloads, not with searching (Raging thunder 2 for example)
[Desire General] pascanu:
To be honest it's not a very noticeable upgrade (hence only the .1 increase probably) but it does feel snapier and brings some extra functionality. What makes me happy is that HTC has treated the Desire as a flagship and has delivered Froyo to us just 1 month after the Nexus One (and before any other manufacturer). This gives me confidence that we will benefit from further upgrades in a timely matter. Well done HTC!

One happy HTC customer.

[Desire General] SeishinBG:
Of course I'm happy! Hell yeah! I'm so damn happy and at the same time so relieved... After 3 days of clicking on this "Check for update" button...

I can say that is faster than before... But not so much! Anyway, it's faster than 2.1 and the animations are smoother. 720p is not so good but for a GSM camera is just perfect! I hoped for more fps, but...

However, I'm happy and looking forward for 3.0 :D :D :D Which we, Desire users, probably won't have the chance to get and hope that somebody clever would cook a 3.0 ROM :D

I'm grateful to HTC 'cuz they released Froyo in the period they said (Q3)... It looks like that they took a note of the 2.1 Hero fail ;)
[Desire General] MCFritz:
Not happy... Where is Gingerbread!!! :mad: :p
[Desire General] The_real_dj:
Not really happy! Main thing I wanted from froyo was bluetooth voice dialing so I can use my phone while out on the road. When I got the phone a month ago I thought I can manage till 2.2 comes out but looks like im still stuck with a phone that I cant legally use on the road!!
[Desire General] Clivectmob:
In time, as froyo becomes more mainstream, more and more developers will update their apps to be moved over to SD, It's bound to happen. As a returnee from the custom Rom environment, I think I'm qualified enough to say that even with the legacy apps2sd system, when added to froyo roms there were still some glitches whereby certain apps would not run correctly or become unstable. It's not as green a grass as you may think, and I never really found "that must keep" Rom. But what I did learn is that a Rom that's closer to stock tended to be the most reliable one. Hence the fact that, at least for now, I'm on a stock unrooted Rom that is reliable and stable. If at least for now, a little short on space.
[Desire General] RaptorRVL:
Very happy here! Everything seems a bit more smooth, and my navigation over the bluetooth seems to be working fine now.

Only negative is that all my installed apps don't show in the market anymore. So perhaps I have to do a hard reset and install everything again. Oh well!...
[Desire General] sparks2005:
Not happy, my paid apps are not on market
[Desire General] mscha:
Uninstall and reinstall one app, and your list should be complete again.

Worked for me, in any case.

[Desire General] RaptorRVL:
Oh thanks! You saved me a hard reset just in time! :p Works like a charm, great tip! :D
[Desire General] :
Too early to tell but one major issue for me...

Hi.

I can't speak to the other claims but so far installing the update has led to my Desire faling to connect to my home wifi.

I was working fine before the update in deed, that's the only way that I allowed the update to go ahead.

Desire locks in "Obtaining IP address from...." for several minutes before it fails and then tries again. This lasts for 10 minutes plus before it stops altogether...

Evr since though I can't connect.

More than a little frustrating...:confused:
[Desire General] Wingzer:
I haven't got it yet due to O2 branded handset. But after seeing all the feedback and improvements on here looks promising.

Only thing is what are they going to do with Gingerbread as that is a major new release by that i mean it goes to 3.0 from 2.x
[Desire General] blake13:
Not happy!!

I can't install apps that I've uninstalled to install Froyo! They don't exist in the marketplace, I can't re-install them. Nor can I find several apps on the marketplace that I do have installed.
[Desire General] steve228uk:
This is because Google haven't added the fingerprint to their database yet so copy-protected apps aren't available.

There is a fix floating around the forum if you want to ADB in or you could just wait a couple of weeks and they'll be there once more.
[Desire General] blake13:
Really? Wow, that is pretty bad. So we are waiting for Google to add these apps to their database?

What about the poor Nexus1 users, they've been without some apps for a whole month. This is terrible.
[Desire General] oursoul:
Not a single problem, its beautiful.. well worth the wait. Everything works fast, smooth and there are so many little tweaks I love. Thanks HTC for taking the time to get it just right. I like it a lot!
[Desire General] zlayaa:
Very happy! I've had no problems at all. One new feature I've noticed that you can see how many likes and comments a Facebook message in friendstream. There's a scroll bar in Friendstream too
[Desire General] hummel003:
happy, only thing is my flash doesnt work :(

i installed a few weeks ago the apk of flash 10.1 from this site, and since the update flash doesnt work anymore, instead i see this:

damn i cant post links..... h...://dl.dropbox.com/u/1813456/2010-08-02%2001.40.09.jpg

everything i click that arrow the browser crashes, now i installed a new apk of flash on it, and when i click the arrow, flash starts, but everything i reload i see that arrow again.
[Desire General] bedeabc:
I'm fairly happy. Haven't yet noticed any major issues and keep spotting small refinements over 2.1. I'd go as far as saying HTC has done a good job. Disappointed about the poor 720p and haven't yet tested battery life...

I'm on a rooted Orange branded device. Flashed new radio without issues and the Rom seems fine as well. Initially I had verification errors with the radio but I DLed from a different mirror and it worked fine.
[Desire General] Tomaco:
Iam happy but there are some minor bugs which sometimes ruin my happiness

Iam new with HTC, so i dont know

Will they fix this minor bugs or ignore it?
[Desire General] doggie123:
HTC has bundled Flash 10.1 with the update. Maybe your APK is interfering with the built-in version? Try uninstalling the APK!
[Desire General] ediflyer:
It's a mixed bag from me...

+ve

===

- Flash (BBC iPlayer works beautifully, 4od works well but the interface is clearly designed for desktop)

- speed - app install is MUCH faster than before

- chrome2phone - I'm using the Firefox plugin and I love it :)

- Apps2SD - for those that work

- Exchange support - now allows PIN codes for security

- Swype still works! (thank goodness, would be lost without it now!)

- WiFi hotspot - VERY nice and some pretty good options re. login security

- proper LED flashlight support (so it works in other apps now like Quick Settings)

-ve

===

- Apps2SD - only works for a very small number of apps :(

- App install problems - I'd done a hard reset after install and now can't find some apps in the Market, even some free ones (like Gemini Calendar). Thank goodness I had my list backed up on AppBrain and have just been re-installing from there!

- Mail app still doesn't allow per-folder sync options (I was really hoping they'd have fixed this) & Gmail app doesn't let you alter your 'from' address (despite Desktop Gmail letting you do this, e.g., if you have multiple email addresses linked to one account)

- you now cant press the Menu button at the lock screen and have to swipe

Overall I'd say it's definitely worth it but not quite a smooth a process as I'd have hoped trying to get back from a hard reset. I think it's been helpful the Nexus 2.2 update having been out for a while as a least some of the apps have been updated!
[Desire General] skinnypupp:
A couple things:

FroYo didn't help battery life on the HTC Desire. Still drained 50% overnight. Wifi/Cell standby/phone idle all drained it 30/29/29

My phone just rebooted itself for some reason, after I plugged it into USB (Charge Only)
[Desire General] chris7494:
Very Very happy here, no issues at all and all went very smoothly. The speed increase is massive on my device and the web browser specifically is scrolling even faster than before and images are rendered much quicker too. Before I did a hard reset I tried raging thunder 2 and found it was also much more playable and no matter how many cars where on screen all together, there is no stuttering at all. Only issue now is the fingerprinting for the new rom, i did a hard reset and cant reinstall raging thunder 2 or any of the other paid for apps except speedx 3d. My battery life wasnt bad before but has significantly improved, ive gone from needing to charge on a night with normal use, to playing with it all day today and its still 45% remaining.

Over all, in my case the update is excellent, really worth while
[Desire General] Igazine:
Well, as a thread starter I forgot to share my experiences:

- the browser is MUCH faster in general. Faster page loads, scrolling, back and forth navigation etc.

- the gui/Sense/whatever is also fast, it was fast before so it's hard to tell the difference

- all the apps that were installed before the update is working fine, I did not experience the mentioned "all my apps are gone" issue

- app2sd works like charm if you use the little command line hack explained in one of the threads:

adb shell (in a command line window in android sdk tools directory)

pm setInstallLocation 2 (once the shell's running)

reboot

- now you can move almost every app to sd

- battery still sucks, but it's the curse of the Desire, it seems that we have to live with it :(

- all the built in apps (gmail etc.) got a little better and more user friendly

I expected some kinda "boom" updating to FroYo that rips my head off which of course did not happen but it feels good to have FroYo on my favorite handheld.

Most importantly HTC kept its word about the weekend update, it's a good thing looking forward the new updates (now we can start the "where's my gingerbread HTC????" threads :) )
[Desire General] skinnypupp:
My Gmail isn't auto-syncing anymore, even though it is set to do so. I have to manually refresh to get it to work.

This is the exact same problem I've seen on a Nexus One when it was updated to 2.2.

WTF?
[Desire General] Aitese:
You can't install certain apps anymore and you believe you have "no issues" at all?
[Desire General] Kpennett:
I liked FRF50 on my nexus, FRF91 doesn't seem as stable or fast....not being able to uninstall fB any more seems odd too :/

Sent from my rooted SGH-T959 using swype & XDA App
[Desire General] tolis626:
This feels good... :D

Only problems are that the first 5-10 times that I tried to use the camera it didn't work.Not FCs or something,it just closed by itself.Rebooted,tried again and it was the same.After some clicking on the camera button it finally worked to reveal the new features.720p isn't bad at all with good lighting conditions.In fact it's better than I expected.And I can finally use the LED flash while recording video!

My second "problem" is that I can't seem to get the benchmark results of the N1.Linpack shows a maximum of 38,9 and quadrant gave me a 1178.Why does the N1 get 40+ linpack and 1200+ quadrant?

Thanks!:)
[Desire General] jaymit:
Definitely happy with the new update : reasons in the new features post + battery life improvement. Performance improvement isn't too noticeable for me just slightly smoother but it was pretty liquid anyway.

If anyone its having problems with their device please search the forum otherwise message me I'd be happy to help

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire General] MoxFulder_CH:
the chrometophone apk + chrome extension are installed but nothing appears on my phone. Both phone and chrome are correctly linked using the same google account.

And what about the ram ? It is completely available now ?
[Desire General] adza:
Not Happy:

a) Bluetooth Voice Dialing is still not available.

b) Contacts notes are still truncated at ~1024 characters.

c) Weather app still doesn't allow me to add locations manually where I live / work even though they appear when I'm in that area.

d) Contacts Still show by first name. (Can't sort by surname).
[Desire General] eGGe86:
Is someone else noticing that web pages are very laggy in stock web browser? Is it the full flash that causing this or do I possibly have some settings wrong?
[Desire General] Geeba:
Well I was going to be happy! :mad:

I just checked for updates its said yes one is available!!! happy days!

Then I realized I didnt have my wireless on so I clicked cancel on the update and turned my wireless on...

Now it says there is no update for my phone! WTF???
[Desire General] sudkcoce:
Very happy user here! :)

I don't understand the "not happy" comments. HTC brought the update VERY quickly and to me, the phone has a really big speed improvement. It's waaay faster now...

Thank you HTC and thank you Google!!

There are also many other, very welcome, tweaks throughout the system...
[Desire General] /rant/:
I'm very happy with FroYo. When I bought my Desire on the first day that it was available, I was sure it was the best phone in existence. Now I feel same way again.

Clearly, we still have some issues, but for me, those are just minor bugs. Annoying, but not that important. Performance is phenomenal. I mean, it already used to be damn fast, but this? Freaking awesome. I load my websites faster than most people would on their laptops. Full Flash support makes me smile; I can watch almost all TV channels for free using flash apps and it's buttery smooth. Didn't expect that. App2SD is also great, moved a few megs already even though many apps still lack that capability. But the situation will improve as FroYo now has gone mainstream.

Overall performance and stability seems great. I use live wallpapers from the Galaxy S and they're much faster now. Wi-Fi hotspot makes me laugh hard at any iPhone user again. And many other great things come with FroYo...

I am also happy to so that HTC has learned from prior mistakes and is trying to not let customers down. With a service like this, they can be sure my next phone will be from HTC again, given they push another blockbuster like the Desire on the market.
[Desire General] porsch1909:
The best idea is to change the plug ins to 'on demand'. I found there was no lag in scrolling when I did that.
[Desire General] michał78:
Yes and no.

-Still not every apps and games can be removed to sd card

-Web browser imo is definitely slower, not fast as before froyo (but video quality is better)

+New widgets (but still those are too big, i need some of them smaller)

+Sense is faster

Thats it, ive expected more changes. Still waiting for android 3.0 :)
[Desire General] adesonic:
Couldn't be happier
[Desire General] A|ex:
Games / apps that cannot be moved over to sd card is a developer issue not froyo, web browser for me is rapid
[Desire General] michał78:
^^ Yes i know that, we must wait becouse, for now only 2 devices has froyo. For me its not huge problem.

Web browser is very nice but imo its worse than before froyo. Open pocketnow.com, on my desire this page lags even with turned off flash elements.
[Desire General] jedininja666:
Does anyone else now find that when using flash in the browser, moving around is at a crawl? Even if I set plugins to on-demand, as soon as I load a Flash video, trying to pan around in a web page is a nightmare, the thing doesn't move. It hangs forever, and then eventually you might regain control, if you're lucky.
[Desire General] tolis626:
Did anyone mention there is 15 MB more RAM?If not,I do!Sweet! :D
[Desire General] Lukehluke:
I don't think Flash has been completed and so it will still be a bit buggy.
[Desire General] gillesv:
Hey SpartanGrey,

I have the exact same problem as you. I made a topic about it here and hope we can get to the bottom of this: /showthread.php?t=742994 (sorry, but you'll have to manually go to the thread. I can't seem to place a direct link as I'm a new user)

I have a feeling that this issue is going to affect more people than just the both of us.
[Desire General] ediflyer:
Well an extra +ve for my list - looks like it's fixed my problems with my Desire not wanting to work with my Audi A3 built-in Bluetooth!

On the downside the new Market auto-update doesn't seem to be doing much, just sitting there saying 'update' next to an item but not acutally auto-updating! Also can't see where the 'update all' button is meant to be...

[Vibrant General] MrGibbage:
I want to know if there is a feature in bluetooth so that any time I bring my phone into range of the BT device, that it will automatically reconnect, without me having to push any buttons on the phone, or device. I guess this could depend on the device and/or phone, so if someone replies "yeah, this is how my X device connects to my Y phone", then that will answer my question. Of course, this is a Vibrant forum, and I do have a Vibrant phone, so all the better if someone tells me it works on Vibrants.
[Vibrant General] Shane_pcs:
I am not sure what initiates the connection, but when I start my car my Bluetooth connects automatically with my vibrant.
[Vibrant General] air2k57:
I have a jawbone headset That I use, if my Bluetooth is enabled, it automatically pairs with it when in range. However, if my headset is in off mode, then obviously it does not do That.
[Vibrant General] MrGibbage:
Hmm... then I guess it is a function of the BT device. I am using the blueant speaker phone, and I would really like it if it just automatically connects to my phone each time I get in the car. Right now I have to press a button on the speakerphone each time I get in the car to reconnect.
[Vibrant General] FreydNot:
I've seen weirdness with bluetooth after I've paired more then one device to the phone. T-Mobile support told me the Vibrant simply doesn't support pairing to more then one device (not just active at a time, but more then one paired at all). That sounded like bunk to me, but it sure is how my phone is acting.

I've got a PLT510 headset as well as a LiquidAux stereo adaper in the car and Plantronics 903 BackBeat Headphones. Since the LiquidAux and the 903 both give Media support and the all three devices provide "phone" support the phone seems to get real confused.

Sometimes bluetooth devices auto pair and just work, but it is not uncommon for me to have to force them into pairing mode again and search for them as if they are new devices.

I am hopeful 2.2 improves the bluetooth support.
[Vibrant General] MrGibbage:
Interesting. My Blueant speaker phone is the only device with which I have paired my Vibrant, but I have had to reboot my phone a couple of times to make it connect. I would go in my car, hit the connect button on the speaker phone and the speaker phone would report "No phone found", even though the phone was turned on and less than two feet from the speaker phone. Reboot the phone and press the connect button again and what-do-you-know, it works.

I am also hoping that 2.2 gives me some BT improvements. Voice dialing will be very nice, but I hope they fix all the other BT issues that are affecting me.
[Vibrant General] Shane_pcs:
I have 2 devices paired with my vibrant. My car kit and some Motorola S9HD headphones.
[Vibrant General] engineer14:
SLIGHTLY off topic, how do you like those headphone ( S9HD) s, looking for a good stereo set for walking and maybe even jogging
[Vibrant General] Shane_pcs:
They are great. I read lots of horror stories about the original red and black S9's and sweat, but I know there are an ungodly amount of Chinese knockoffs out there and I chalk it up to that. If you buy them retail I don't think you'd have any issues.
[Vibrant General] erickrios:
Just got my Vibrant yesterday and I was trying to pair it with my Jawbone 1 headset but it's not being recognized by the phone, I've turned them on and off several times but nothing seems to work.

It was working perfectly on my G1 as of yesterday so I know the headset works.

Any suggestions?

Dead Touchscreen, i said to myself its not a big deal i can live without it until i take it to tmobile to get fix. Five Min later got a text and i can't even click send to reply to the text now i honestly need the touchscreen... any alternative way to hit send?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] BeEazy10:
dont just view it reply to it please...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Dennis78:
Hello,

maybe this has a simple solution:

I had a dead touchscreen some days ago, even a reset didn't help. Then I removed the screen protector foil (Martin Fields) and everything was fine. Somehow the screen protector continuously triggered the touchscreen at one point so no other input was possible.

If you use a screen protector, try to remove it. Or try a hardreset.

If all else fails, you'll have to send your device in for fixing it. Until then, maybe you can get along with a software called MyMobiler. It lets you use the Phone right from your Computer via ActiveSync. So you should be able to send a message but I dont know if you get it installed without the use of touchscreen.

Dennis
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] BeEazy10:
i know a program called Dashwire that works the same way but threw your Internet browser, and i think ur right about the screen part, at one point my screen kinda flex in when touch , now it sit flat.

[Desire General] IceBone:
I've tried twice already and every time the recovery gives that error, with the little android next to a warning sign. All I can do si reboot and try again... Would this have anything to do with the fact that my Desire went swimming a few weeks ago? Or maybe that I put a custom recovery image on it? If so, how can I put the stock one back on?
[Desire General] 0nest0ne:
I have the original rom, but rootet and get the same issue.

F*** - i rootet mine on thursday because i read HTC is issuing froyo on the desire in december - 4 days later i could do OTA, but now i get this stupid error because (i think so) do not have an original recovery menu anymore.

can ANYBODY provide

*update of recovery mode

*trick/hack to install anyway

*a way back to a non-rooted device

?
