I've also noticed this. My device was never rooted and just been updated as normal ota. I've done a full reset of the phone which has made no different e. I've also done the disabled the plunging which did.make it faster, but then what's the point in having flash. It's a bit of a let down now and to my eyes more ammunition to Apple to say that's why its not on iPhone. Do we think that this is a problem with the HTC froyo build? Does it happen on on phones.
[Desire General] mcgon1979:
guys, seriously, is it really THAT slow? I think its ok personally. Flash has hardly crippled the browser. Yes its a little bit slower to scroll on big pages. but so what, we have full flash, and animated gifs etc now. I think disabling flash is pointless, the whole idea of the upgrade to the browser was to have it.
[Desire General] spritable:
I have 2.2 stock, not rooted and actually did noticed jitter while scrolling pages. I'm using my phone a lot for browsing the web and before with 2.1 it was darn smooth.

Like neomoz said, disabling the plugins and THEN RESTARTING did the trick. Now the scrolling is smooth, but no Flash :(.
[Desire General] Stavut:
Just a browser/flash related question, a bit off-topic.

Is it possible to set flash to only render elements you "press" on? like it will view the site normally and shows a frozen frame of each flash elements, but if you decide to press on the element then it will play it. Maybe that may limit the pressure flash sites put on the browser.
[Desire General] Flaggie:
You can select on demand in the settings. But I think that means that as soon as the flash element leaves the screen it stops and as soon as it is in screen it shows.
[Desire General] Stavut:
Ah ok, I was more looking into a no-script flash function if that makes any sense, but will look into the on demand setting, thanks.
[Desire General] adesonic:
If you have it on demand, you have to press a little green down arrow on the screen to view the flash item, scrlling is as fast as it s with flash disabled (until you press the little arrow!)
[Desire General] Cmmts:
I'm also having this issue. Rebooting the device without plugins didn't really help nor did hard resetting the phone. Along with the backup issues I'm starting to think HTC's version of Froyo is a lemon.
[Desire General] Imperium:
The same problem occurs with Froyo without sense :)
[Desire General] andycted:
This is one more thing that baffles me. Of all the problems reported in this forum about 2.2 update, I'm only experiencing the wifi sleep issue. Scrolling is smooth as before, no change here...

(ieftm rom, full wipe)
[Desire General] reaperSKD:
Is there anyway to flash back to stock T-mobile rom?

I debranded and upgraded to froyo, but i'm having the browser and battery issues so i'd like to flash back. Tried the official T-Mob RUU rom but when I run it, it says I have the wrong HBoot version and cannot flash back. I have a goldcard inserted aswell. Any ideas?
[Desire General] Syd159:
Disable plugins. Reboot. Enable plugins. Reboot. Worked for me. Laggy scrolling is gone.
[Desire General] :
LOL, no it isnt.
[Desire General] Syd159:
It worked for me.
[Desire General] neomoz:
Something is screwed with the browser. Using dolphin HD which just uses the system browser wrapped, you don't experience these weird lag issues. I heard they pulled the official update so hopefully they fix this annoying bug.
[Desire General] owziee:
Dolphin HD is so much better than the built in browser that it's incredible!!! Try it out and you'll see what I mean. No lag whatsoever....
[Desire General] silure130:
I use dolphin HD and still experience the lag.
[Desire General] adesonic:
I use the stock browser with plugins set to "on demand" and get no lag whatsoever UNLESS I "demand" a flash video, then it lags.
[Desire General] spen2:
Agreed, that works for me too.
[Desire General] A|ex:
What config are you using with your browser and have you tweaked them to speed it up?
[Desire General] flightposite:
It didn't work for me. I'm browsing ESPN.com mobile version. Anybody care to try the site to check if there is lag. Thanks.
[Desire General] paulruk:
Mine is slow with froyo 2.2, but not as slow as the nexus one in this video. see 4mins onwards..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtGCaKyd_co

Shame as it use to be as smooth as the iphone on this video. :(
[Desire General] racerx_:
totally slower.. and annoying. so much for 450% speed increase over 2.1 zzzz

plus seems slower loading picture thumbnails/pictures, and a few other basic processes. Some things i think are sense related, some froyo.. fail
[Desire General] milkpowder:
Just installed Froyo on my de-branded Vodafone Desire. I agree. Page load times are seriously quick, but there is a noticeable jitter with panning and scrolling. Scrolling through Engadget is a good test. It's still very usable, just that I was expecting full-fat Flash with no trade-offs. Maybe I was expecting too much.
[Desire General] paulruk:
Its seems the browser experience has been ruined to accomodate flash adverts and imbedded video. Neither of which I`m bothered with. Even Dolphin HD runs like a dog now.

Whats worrying is that froyo 2.2 has been out for quite a few months on the nexus one and they still havent got round to fixing this problem.
[Desire General] nismoau:
Yeah works fine. I just slaughter the browser with a task manager then reopen it too, seems to work without requiring a reboot.
[Desire General] jobalz:
Does anybody use HTCSync 3?

I tried it:

it connects somehow with my desire.

i can sync it

But the Programm says that theres no device connected

i wanted to use features like the itunes sync

can anybody help?
[Desire General] th1nkpad:
Which version are you using, I have just installed and after a reboot (of both PC and device) it works really well. The version I used can be found here - http://www.mikesouthby.co.uk/2010/08/how-to-sync-itunes-with-htc-desire-via-htc-sync/
[Desire General] HDuser:
Hi All

I found the HTC Sync 3.0.5387 here

www.rapidshare.com/files/409679123/Setup_3.0.5387.exe

Its the version from the Wildfire.

I have tested this on a XP SP3 / 32 with outlook 2010 / 32bit

Here is what I can say about it.

It will find the desire and even shows the correct picture for it.

It will sync Calendar and I was unable to find any thing that went wrong or i was missing.

It will sync some (NOT All) of my contacts (400+)

However...

I feel the reason HTC has not made it avallbale for us is due to the fact it does not work as expected.

On a re-sync of the contacts (to get the missing ones) it deleted a few (20+) and then added most (200+) a second time on my device.

It also comes up with "not enough memory on device" message on contact sync.

Had 389 contacts and got 260 on my device after deleting all of them on the desire.

I would not recommned that anybody uses it untill they come out with a new version.

If you do then here is an application that will remove your duplicate ones in outlook.

[Desire General] steve228uk:
I found that if you wait until your phone says it's connected and if HTC Sync still doesn't show that if you click the 'Help' button in the top right It shows the sync screen :D
[Desire General] millinnium:
Tried it. completely hopeless... version 3.0.5422 HTC Sync on HTC Desire. Failed on all attempts, restarted com, restarted phone, plug in plug out.. showed signs of willingness to work but never gets through any stage of the sync and comes out with "Unknown Error Occurred"
[Desire General] :
for see my desire i must launch the sync:mad:

or wait so much

now i restart win for search other good way:D
[Desire General] mrdo:
sorry to hijack the thread but does anyone know how to schedule how often the updates happen ? the old version had settings that you could configure this but i can't seem to find them ?
[Desire General] UKseagull:
Remember to select 'HTC Sync' mode and not USB charge etc?

I had the option to synv Firefox bookmarks but I don't see them on my phone. :confused:
[Desire General] restrict:
HTC sync 3 is now available for Desire on HTC site. it's not the one tht wildfire has. It's different. i downloaded today. it's working fine
[Desire General] godutch:
do you have an url, I have this this one, it works but I loose connection quite often during syncing on w7 64bit:

uk/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=982&news_id=757

(sorry i am not allowed to post links)
[Desire General] mbeltoft:
Just downloaded the new HTC Sync version 3.0.5422 and it sees my Desire just fine but it can't sync my music from iTunes.

I can choose my playlists and all but no music is transferred.

Anyone else have this problem?

I have all my music on a NAS - Maybe thats the problem....
[Desire General] rottunix:
Hi,

Downloaded new HTC Sync. But it's not working. It will start. But when I connect my Desire it will not see me phone. Even windows does not see my phone anymore!

HTC Sync will also crash. Windows 7 64bit.

Regards,

R
[Desire General] rottunix:
Solved!

Uninstalled everything, reboot, install again, reboot. And now it's syncing. :cool:
[Desire General] aindow:
For those downloading from the UK, select Europe 2 as the location to download from. I found Europe 1 crawls along.
[Desire General] rottunix:
Ok still crashing after some time.:-(
[Desire General] crazybones:
HTC Sync 3 5422 is working well and appears much more stable that version 2.

Negatives so far appear that:

1. It won't sync Keepass files. The program syncs other docs on the folder but ignores the Keepass file.

2. It won't allow you to select the folder location to which files are saved on the pc. By default, it stores photos in My Documents > My Photos.
[Desire General] paulruk:
I tried iTunes sync and it worked fine when I asked it to transfer my top rated tunes and they transferred to the phone no problem.

Although I`ve got problems with bookmarks from internet explorer or chrome. Nothing gets transferred?
[Desire General] paulruk:
Actually bookmarks do work, they just import htc bookmarks into chrome as a new folder. then you can add bookmarks to it and re-sync.
[Desire General] GeorgesVDR:
Contact and Agenda stay grey!

Hi everybody,

I'm trying to solve a problem for an older college of mine. He is trying to get his HTC desire to sync. No we downloaded the latest HTC 3.0.5422 and it works fine with all the features except the ones he needs for his work. Contacts and Agenda! So if you see the screen they just stay grey and you can't turn them on. Tried pretty much everything and searched a lot of forums but can't seem to find the solution.

In the HTC Sync 2.... had the option of selecting the sync manager so you could select with email program you want the data to sync. But I can't seem to find this function. Or am I looking at the wrong place... Because I read somewhere that you need to open the sync manager to solve this problem but i can't seem to find it.

So any suggestions? :cool:
[Desire General] bluesax:
I have just installed Sync 3. Same problems, contacts and agenda stay inactive. :confused:
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanydizzley:
Hey everyone,

I've been searching around on this, and haven't had any luck thus far.

I'm running CELB 2.8, and have set CPU running. Every time I wake my phone from sleep it seems rather slow, so I click my setCPU widget to make sure my settings are correct. Every time I open the app it says its given SU permissions. Does this mean that my settings aren't sticking?

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it, but to no avail as it still does the same thing. I have it installed on the phone and not the SD card. Has anyone else experienced this issue or can duplicate this? Thank you!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hungry Man:
Flash setcpu 2.1.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanydizzley:
Hmmmm. Could have swore I had 2.1. I have 2.01 lol. Thanks.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hungry Man:
oh I'm sorry I'm a moron lol I meant flash superuser 2.1, not setcpu 2.1. Keep your setcpu the way it is.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanydizzley:
Haha okay. Thanks for the help. Works like a champ!
[Vibrant General] kolyan:
Just noticed that i have 15 voicemails which never showed up....Doesnt Vibrant have regular voice mail ? I erased visual voicemail client (i believe it was a tmobile app) and i dont get any voicemails...??

EDIT: also noticed that under voicemail settings i am not able to change the number (it doesnt allow me)
[Vibrant General] ecardwell1:
I am having the same issue. I have mine rooted and deleted visual voice app. Ever since, no notifications show up for voicemail. May try to re-install VV. Anyone have any ideas other than this?
[Vibrant General] kolyan:
Using Google voicemail now......
[Vibrant General] Berserk87:
why did you delete visual voicemail?!
[Vibrant General] disturkis4u:
is it possible that your account still has visual voicemail on it and not regular? Not sure if it matters in terms of tmos system
[Vibrant General] ecardwell1:
I re-installed VV but did not activate it. Now my voicemail notifications show up in the notification bar. Have always been on the fence about using Google Voice.
[Vibrant General] kolyan:
Uninstalled visual voicemail because i don't need it, I have never used it on nexus one as well. So is that the reason for not getting any notification on vibrant ? Is stock app a tmobile app from market ?
[Vibrant General] kolyan:
Interesting, so yoy actually need this app to get any voicemail ? Again, is it the app from market ?
[Desire General] maxupp:
hi mates.

i have a t-mobile branded desire, which i flash with unrevoked³. but i still can't install a stock RUU. i don't want to make a goldcard, because i don't have any micro SDs here, that i could use.

so, what am i missing?

edit: i'm on 1.21.110 t-mobile rom
[Desire General] maxupp:

c'mon guys, i have bee eagerly waiting like you all, so PLEASE gimme a hint!
[Desire General] Pittek:

Don't mess about with RUU's
[Desire General] BuroBernd:
rooted offical froyo is out. why bother with the offical OTA update now?
[Desire General] maxupp:
problem is: i don't want a custom rom ^^

i want a stock 1.15 or 1.21 so that i can get the froyo update

[Droid Incredible General] th3drow:
I remember emailing htc about the battery life issues on the phone and they just kept saying they knew what it was and an ota update would fix it in the near future. Now that ive done the ota and froyo i see no difference, is anyone noticing the same thing i am? I'm sick of barely getting a day when my friend with the evo 4g (ya the one that should be consuming more power) can get like over 2 days doing more than me.
[Droid Incredible General] coolingout:
I've actually noticed the opposite. I seem to be getting better battery life. With moderate use I can go 2 days without needing to charge. My friend with an EVO gets about the same. We were both running CM6 at the same time...which was eating my battery a lot faster than this.

The EVO has a higher capacity battery than the DINC. I actually have the same capacity as the EVO which may make a difference.
[Droid Incredible General] Lexus One:
Same as before the upgrade...

No change for me either from Eclair to Froyo. I still cannot get more than a days use before charging. And I have the Seidio 1750mah battery. Actually, it seemed like I got more usage from the original 1300mah battery than I do from the Seidio.

Just FYI, I have erased my battery stats (from within ClockworkMod recovery) right after upgrading to Sky Raider's 2.01 ROM. So far I haven't noticed any difference from before. I.e., I still get another 30mins of charging whenever I power off my DI, and still only a day's use. My stats show most of my battery use is from the OS... so go figure...

Maybe I just need to give it some more time before drawing any conclusions...
[Droid Incredible General] loccoelf:
blah

nope, same thing here...it sux so bad that htc wont fix this...its probably the most important part of the damn phone.
[Droid Incredible General] theoneownz:
I dont have any issues with battery and have the verizon extended battery. I have not used any method to get rid of battery stats.

With Moderate use of 1 day I get an average of 50% - 60% ranging from 6am to 11pm
[Droid Incredible General] ericFuels999:
I notice a slight improvement from Eclair to Froyo.
[Droid Incredible General] palomosan:
Nope, the same thing, battery still sucks.
[Droid Incredible General] rynosaur:
I guarantee you can find dozens of "battery life sucks" comments for every smartphone forum ever made.

Considering this battery has a mere 300mAh increase in capacity over the G1, has a much bigger screen, and a much faster processor, I am impressed with my DI and its battery life (8hrs with everything on but BT and dozens of apps running+).

FroYo is a slight improvement for me too.

Why not make this thread a poll?
[Droid Incredible General] partizan81:
+1, not a huge-awesome-giant-enormous improvement, but definitely noticeable. I'm running 12-15 apps simultaneously and getting probably 10-12 hours? I'll try and benchmark it tomorrow.
[Droid Incredible General] th3drow:
Ya I am using te extended seidio battery. You see the crappy thing is that I emailed HTC a month or 2 ago about the battery life and they said they knew what it was and that they would ota fix itsoon. Now we get a big ota and not much change. Let alone also I still have the issue where it drains to like 93% right after I unplug
[Droid Incredible General] loccoelf:
I heard that!!!!!

[Desire Android Development] ErwinSprangers:

Take a look at all the threads regarding this same thing on the 1st page.
[Desire General] kebabkiller:
As the title says, the ota froyo update wont install. Does anyone have a simple way of removing unrevoked as i only used it for wifi tethering. I didnt install any custom roms.

thanks
[Desire General] BuroBernd:
you probably have a branded desire ?!?!
[Desire General] Vorbeth:
DONT!!

You will loose all hope of rooting again.

Wait for the update.zip that's being uploaded.
[Desire General] kebabkiller:
Nope its unbranded, i can download it but the install stops
[Desire General] MechE42:
I have the same issue, was only interested in wifi tethering so used unrevoked to root my debranded Desire. OTA Froyo will download, but comes up with an error when installing.
[Desire General] lept0n:
I have also rooted my unbranded desire but I have not tried the OTA yet...does the update problem make the phone unusable or it still works with the old ROM?
[Desire General] kebabkiller:
The update just stops half way through, you just have to turn it off, but i think ive figured out how to unroot so you can get 2.2
[Desire General] lept0n:
Please share the method
[Desire General] fakier:
Yes, please share your method of unrooting.

or ...Wait for the update.zip that's being uploaded... being as in now? And where is that?
[Desire General] lept0n:
42turkeys is trying to upload, when ... dont know...
[Desire General] kebabkiller:
Ok the method works, ive got froyo running but you lose all root access.

1. Remove SD Card

2. Connect USB cable to phone and PC

3. Hold VOL DOWN and POWER buttons to access the bootloader

4. Click Clear Storage

5. Once it starts to reboot take out battery

6. Replace battery and follow step 3

7. Click Fastboot

8. On the PC Start the RUU file and run through it

The RUU files can be found as a sticky on the desire android development thread

i used the second one down which is for unlocked and unbranded phones

Hope this helps
[Desire General] cgorki:
think twice before unrooting and updating.

read all these threads like "OMG with OTA can haz no root"
[Desire General] Igazine:
So how do you feel in general after the update?

- Was it worth it?

- Can we say that our Desire got significantly faster?

- Are we happy now after 3 days of refreshing and checking for updates?
[Desire General] yeahtyeaht:
not happy http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=741566
[Desire General] charon72:
Hell yeah i am happy.

This will give the Chef's a better base for their custom sense rom's.

Now we only need the sourcecode released :P
[Desire General] alexrose1uk:
Overall Im happy, my phone performs just as well if not better (some videos played through RockPlayer are also smoother), and the new features are nice, on top of personally having had no issues.

Obviously would still like another update with the promised xvid/divx however, and preferably if they decide to call it a 'media' update; it'd be nice if they extended codec support to h264, aac etc.
[Desire General] martintzvetomirov:
So how do you feel in general after the update?

- Was it worth it? - Without doubt!

- Can we say that our Desire got significantly faster? - Yes, also scrolling and animations are smoother but that's not everything that's good about FroYo

- Are we happy now after 3 days of refreshing and checking for updates? - Hell I am!!!

Really happy with the update, the phone flies, I just tested ChromeToPhone and it is amazing !

Well done HTC and Google.
[Desire General] rico8787my:
I'm happy with the update. I think is because my phone is working well and stable. Plus I like the feeling of original. :)

However, there are still some rooms for it to improve.

[Desire General] carlo0810:
I pressed update on my phone but says no updates available... im from the philippines...

Making my months of waiting for a way to get more space on my device totally wasted. Epic fail by goggle by not making the option built in to the OS and not the apps.

Rooting the device is looking more attractive to me now, pitty I cant now I've upgraded. Here's hoping they get it rooted soon.
[Desire General] /yce/:
is support for wiimote controller removed in froyo sense too?
[Desire General] Guilherme Noronha:
Happy to have some new features to play around but really frustrated for not being able to voice dial via bluetooth. The most useful feature to me is not presente without reason.

I am quite happy. Have moved most apps to the SD (via the greencodeblog app) and have about 140 apps installed. Only Tunewiki and TagToDo had to be shifted back because the widgets didn't work any more.
