Well, battery is taking a lot longer to charge. Around 2.5x slower. This is as slow as what others usually mentioned that always baffled me on 2.1. WiFi and network signal is certainly far superior.

FYI, the app 'URLy' allows you to upload and share images to various online locations from your phone (it failed upload on 2.1 for me). I think you fellas will love it.

I'm running the rooted stock HTC 2.2 ROM by nickiberli and this option appears as so:

It only works horizontally when rotated anticlockwise. If you show containing BBC page in clockwise rotated mode, then it goes upside down in full screen .

The same for stock YouTube player though. They both can't be rotated clockwise.

Might be a glitch.:rolleyes:

Gmail:

- you can now set notification sound (previously it was always the default one)

Music player:

- when your current playlist ends pushing play will correctly start the first song, not the last one again

People:

- setting which accounts are visible works correctly now (previously I had like 5 sim delivered contacts and if I f.e. selected that I only want to have them visible I still got mix of facebook and gmail contacts)

- setting facebook contacts to be visible doesn't reset on next facebook sync.

Widgets:

- News and Weather widget (next to corresponding app)

Misc:

- Twitter got renamed to 'Twitter for HTC Sync' in few places not to confuse with official Twitter app if someone installs it

UI, bug fixed:

- the graphic lines on stock android tabs were not correct

New bug, News (HTC RSS reader):

- when you update the circle animation next to currently updated feed does not animate

iTunes

Hi, I've read in some forums that the new update also comes with iTunes sync. Is that true?

And how do you get the photos/video save to your SD card? For some reason they save to the phone memory, otherwise some apps do save to the SD, so the card works ok! Not sure if this was the case before the update!
[Desire General] hyaenidae:
besides from the already mentioned one, I noticed two more things:

Car Home / Car Dock

Hi all.

I was previously using a leaked FroYo with Sense ROM by Pays but have installed a rooted official ROM from the dev section.

I just wanted to confirm that the updated HTC Car Panel is missing from the released OTA update.

What I'm talking about is the following:

So far I've seen people claim the "Car Dock" works and then instructions that give me the following:

As you can see, Car Dock is shown by a lock icon and there are additional Dock settings.

These do not bring up the panel shown above.

Can anyone fill me in?

Bugs & features

Bugs:mad::

1) SMS widget. When last message deleted from last thread, then widget balloon disappears, leaving only buttons for compose and list.

2) Music player (HTC) vs Google Listen. When using Music along with Google Listen, the later catches remote control buttons and does not release it when closed. In other words, Music does not catch it back.

update: checked with other players (bTunes, BeyondPod) - the same issue.

New founds:rolleyes::

1) When there are events in Calendar, the green marks on the left hand side of the cell got smaller than before.

Ooops, somebody noticed that before;)

@ Aitese

The panel you've posted sure looks nice, but as you said, it looks like there is no such menu in the released OTA. Unless it's somehow only activated when the device is actually docked.
[Desire General] Rage1ofakind:
@ Aitese

I'd love to have that feature on my phone - thought it was going to come as a package with the froyo update but it didnt :(

Think its only for Nexus one (froyo?). Anyone have the apk for that?
[Desire General] martintzvetomirov:
Hey, does anybody know if the wifi supports the n standart with FroYo?
[Desire General] th3:
Those settings only appear for me when the phone is docked and within them is the option to run Car Panel automatically when docked but no such app starts. It's missing from the installed apps by default.

I installed that app manually and it's working just like 2.1 (rooted HTC 2.2 ROM). You can go to settings and when docked, it will launch automatically.

What a great thread.

Not sure if this works everywhere though, but most websites with a youtube player work like this.
[Desire General] maxon25:
mine does the same
[Desire General] mscha:
Yeah, that works, once it's playing, you can click on it and be redirected to the YouTube app.

Still, it's annoying, it now takes three steps (if you have plugins set to on demand):

Click on the placeholder to load the Flash plugin

Click on the video to start playing

Click on the choppily playing video to open in the YouTube player

No japan mode for fm radio anymore?!?! oh that's really one of the only things that i will miss - Will there be a way to get the japan mode back (or set any possible frequencies?) - is closed source by htc so far i know.

Especially Navigon Mobile Navigator is very important to me (still on 2.5.1)!

IMAP and SSL

Woo, just spotted a big bonus since the update. The stock HTC mail app now supports self-signed certificates! When using IMAP with SSL and the certificate is either self-signed, name-mismatched or there is no root CA trust, a new dialog appears when first connecting asking if you want to accept and trust the cert. This is great news!
[Desire General] Pepi70:
Email client of 2.1 release is not able to send email via outbox if there are not data connections. The only way to send emails is saving them in draft folder and manually send them when there is a connection.

Now, with the 2.2, you can send email in every case, and the email client parks them in the outbox for an automatic sending process just a connection will be come available.

Hope this feature is better understandable...

Has anyone tried the hotspot feature? i just tried it with my laptop and i am very disapointed, for me it was very VERY SLOW, so slow that just turned it off lol. i loaded up google webpage fine, loaded up play.com fine but when i loaded up youtube, it took ages and even longer when loading a video. Could be my network? or could be wifi? or simply the 2.2 os?.

Anyone got this working spot on?

[Desire General] chichoko:
I assume you know that this feature clearly depends on your mobile connection.. since it was slow for you.. i assume that you didnt have any 3g signal which gives the fastest internet speed atm.. it uses your mobile network to provide internet access to other devices..
[Desire General] aindow:
I used the Wifi hotspot just fine and the speeds were good for me. I get speeds of around 3meg where i live when using HSDPA or 3g+ whatever you refer to it as. I find it could be a bit of a gimick though as the battery surely won't last long on the hotspot mode.

- When you receive an incoming call from a contact you have linked to a facebook profile you see the persons profile picture in a new box with frame around it and also their latest facebook status at the bottom

- In build facebook app now has Inbox for facebook messages! (only iphone app had this before) and the notifications if enabled seem to be push messages (not 100% this was not there before but i never saw it)

- The HTC RSS reader is literally about 10million times quicker at opening. I have about 14 feeds and 15 key words and it would always take AT LEAST 10seconds to open and load. Now it is about 1 second. (you do the math thats 10million x's faster :-) )

- While navigating with Google Navigator and listening to music with stock player, after the music has been paused by navigator voice song doesn't resume (it did on 2.1, haven't tried with other combinations of player/navigator)

Really annoying for me since with my Ford Fiesta, both calls and audio are redirected to BT, and if I want to listen to directions I've to switch to BT audio on car system...I used to start music as well, and it did function (forgiving the fact that with a lot of turns you get a lot of halts on music), but now no more :mad:

New bug in Contacts?

When in HTC Contacts you goto Groups, there are 5 default groups. in dutch Collega's, Familie, Favorieten, VIP, Vrienden (which would be Colleagues, Family, Favorites, VIP and Friends in English I assume). When tapping a group there is the option to add contacts to the group, which brings up all your phone's contacts and you can simply select the ones you want to add. Strangely, this is not working for 2 of the default groups (Family and Friends), it just won't find any contact. And you can't delete these default groups to replace them with new ones.

You can edit the contact manually and add more groups there, but thats a lot more work. :(

Hi. Both me and a colleague just updated our Desires to Froyo, and are experiencing the same bug.

I've always put a +47 country code to my numbers, to simplfy things when travelling abroad. Now, when searching for a phone number via HTC dialer, it won't find it unless we include the +47..

Also, when recieving calls, the caller is not recognized since national calls don't show with +47...

This is actually a very old bug. :( It definitely existed in the first Android version I had on the G1 (1.2 I think). I worked around it by creating my own groups for Friends, Family and Collegues with slightly different names.
