Gjeeez,

Its hard not to notice how blazingly fast the phone is. All the little animations, like loading mail when you switch from the widget to the actual content are barely visible !

Good stuff.

Now that FroYo is out there on a LOT of devices I hope all the apps inventores quicly compile against Froyo so i can move my large memory hogs to SD card...
[Desire General] monsterfly:
You can move app to SD card only if app supports this.
[Desire General] The Professor:
Found this thread last night trying to figure out why menu didn't get me past the slide screen anymore, but then I did some poking around on my own. Using ietfm's 2.2 build, I decided to play around and removed HTCLockScreen.apk and .odex, wondering if the standard Android lock screen was still as broken as it was with 2.1. It turns out, however, that it's fixed, and looks and functions perfectly fine - and I was happy to find that menu to bypass the slide unlock works as well. Remap wake_dropped to the menu key and double-tap menu to get all the way into your phone.

So: doesn't look like FroYo's preventing us from unlocking with menu, looks like HTC is. If you kill their lock screen, menu to unlock still works.

Also i noticed that in dialer is not ""new Android robot, kinda 3D looking one now""mine is a square box with half android robot!!!

Also another think i noticed is that when u had a phone number inside of a message before and you was clicking on it,it was saying what contact is(or not exist and add to contacts) and now you have to click open contact to show you who is !!!
[Desire General] hvihavai:
Hi,

I also always use country codes, but for me this problem shows up different. When receiving calls people/numbers get recognized properly. But I do have the problem with dialer when searching with the number...

Edit: Sorry, it seems that my operator sends caller id in international format.
[Desire General] rikbrouwer:
The speaker volume is a lot louder on 2.2, or is it just me?

Couldn't really follow YouTube or TED clips before, without using my hand as a sound reflector, but since the update I don't need to anymore...
[Desire General] FOZZER:
I thought it was just me but mine does seem louder
[Desire General] snark_be:
Seems louder to me too. :)

Just a quick note to everyone. I will update the original post on Friday as I gotta work till late these 2 days and not exactly in the mood to sit and search the thread for new stuff. so chill, it's all coming.
[Desire General] njordan:
Hi all,

two things I do not like:

* Exchange synced contactes are not sorted via Lastname anymore, now Firstname which is really bad....

* Advanced Task Killer seems to not work properly anymore, in 2.1 it was like this that killing really kills for example Facebook and others, now with 2.2 you can kill them all, but after some time (less than 1h) without starting Apps, the list is getting bigger again...even if I already disabled Facebook sync everywhere....

Anybody else notices similar behaviour?

Thanks

Jordi
[Desire General] :
What Facebook app are we talking about? The official Facebook for Android which came with the phone had this long ago. Maybe you hadn't updated if for a long time.
[Desire General] BigPHD:
When you phone a contact that is linked to facebook, there picture appears instead of the android along with their latest status update at the bottom of it, don't know if this applies to twitter too.
[Desire General] ediflyer:
Sadly although I can see the 'battery use' button you refer to my phone seems to go immediately from a low battery warning to switching itself off without me being able to do anything about it :(
[Desire General] ediflyer:
An extra Gmail change - marking a thread unread behaves like the web interface now - it only marks as unread those conversations that were already unread when you entered it rather than the whole conversation.

To explain - say you have a five-message email thread/conversation.

Messages 1-3 were downloaded to your desktop mail program and therfore marked as read. Two new messages arrive on your phone. You enter the conversation. Under 2.1 if you then went unread (e.g., to remind you to look at the thread again when you were on the web interface on your PC) the whole thread would be marked as unread. However in 2.2 only messages 4 & 5 (the ones that were originally unread) will be marked as unread. They don't yet have 'unread from here' functionality but in fairness that's only available via Google Labs on Gmail!

PS - I just LOVE chrome2phone - it's great to be able to send text, URLs, phone numbers, maps locations, directions all to your phone instantly from Firefox!!

Might have found something new.. Viewing pics (jpg) in browser just the pic itself means the url ends with picture.jpg (www.something.com/pictures/something.jpg)

tap and hold on the pic will show options to save or view but you also can directly make it as wallpaper, don't have to download and go to the gallery to apply the wallpaper!

Holding down the searchbutton starts Voice Search.
[Desire General] jaymit:
new feature: its not really that much of a new feature, more an improvement but Ive noticed its not in the list. The dictionary (for English anyway) has been improved to support more words, particularly for contractions such as we're. I remember having to add quite a few to the user dictionary with the previous ROM, but they seem to be included now
[Desire General] steve228uk:
When in a call and you slide down the notification panel the hang-up button has changed from 'End Call' to a telephone icon.
[Desire General] steve228uk:
This was there in Eclair too :D
[Desire General] Svennebannan:
oohh.. never noticed
[Desire General] wonderstoat:
I agree. I haven't been able to see that this is working. Can the original poster please explain?
[Desire General] yordaniy:
I do not know if anyone has found this yet, but those two bugs do not exist in landscape mode.
[Desire General] Playa93:
Oh yeah, there's a news Messaging Widget ;)
[Desire General] Bouncer5:
Just got a force close, and it said close and i also has a report option

Think it's been mentioned, but incase it hasn't
[Desire General] AntarcticPL:
Backup data under privacy setting

As noted already the Privacy settings options is not available anymore one Froyo. So the HTC data backup tool also disappeared which is really a pity.

Although when using the new search function, you can also search in the settings of your phone. When you type privacy in the search, you still find the privacy menu with the backup option.

Although backup still is enabled I don't think it is operational. No new backups are made to my SD card at least.

Can someone confirm this ?

thnx
[Desire General] darkpain:
AntarcticPL the same here:( but nice job man:P we thought that was no more available
[Desire General] chingf0rd:
Messaging improvements.

Hello,

Not noticed this one before, but when you open up the Messaging app and tap on the picture on a user, a bubble box comes up with quick access to get to the contact details, map address, phone numbers of the person - very neat, and can't believe I haven't seen this before - surely a Froyo introduction?
[Desire General] madsere:
Yeah but if you happen to have a USB cable with you and plug it in, you might as well use the standard USB tethering.
[Desire General] madd0g:
It was there before, but in Froyo its ****ed up. Before it was showing Twitter (if the contact was beeing followed) and Google Talk (if the person was online). Now it shows a second Dialer icon instead of Gtalk and if you click it, an Action selector popup shows up, but no Gtalk there. I've done a factory reset and the issue remained, but m8 who didnt do a reset, but also has Froyo, has the same issue. So i guess, Froyo update borked that.
[Desire General] calvin2x:
missing Java app

There used to be a Java app installed in Eclair which is no longer available in Froyo. Have you noticed this? I tried searching for it in the market but didn't find it there either. The icon is a cup with a brown steam.

I'm using it to run a jar application which came with a netcam to control pan and tilt but I can't run it in froyo :(

Does anyone know where I can find it or is there any alternative? -Thanks!
[Desire General] kekkle:
Damn this thread got big. Lemme see if I can still get it all together...

[Desire General] hazzamon:
I get this too. 2.2 stock firmware, stock music player, Google Maps Navigation, streaming via Bluetooth to my Sony MEX-4700U head unit.

It didn't happen under 2.1 (Although, as an aside, I had a problem with 2.1 where bluetooth audio kept breaking up and pausing, this appears to be fixed in 2.2!).
[Desire General] aljwatson69:
Same problem for me, I found that Double Twist (and probably other non HTC music players) resume fine though.

Also, there seems to be conflicting reports with this but the my news widget has started updating automatically on 2.2 which didn't happen in 2.1. However, in this thread a couple of others are saying it used to update on 2.1 but no longer does.

showthread.php?t=747291

It also has a little thingy on the right hand side to show up far up or down you are in the list of news stories. I don't remember that being present in 2.1, not sure though so if somebody could confirm or deny?
[Desire General] th3:
* One thing you haven't added is that browser downloads don't in 2.2 have the option of "Clear all".

* Another is that deleting from the browser downloads section deletes the file from the SD card too whilst it didn't in 2.1.

Don't know if mentioned before, but speach synthesis settings do have new functions:

- safer search (off/moderate/strict)

- bad words detection (on/off) :D

Maybe this was before, but not on branded ones.

But why is there no stt button in htc ime keyboard??? :(

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire General] :
As I remember you previously had two options when deleting something from the downloads section. The first only removed the item from the list, while the second also deleted the file from your SD card. Now you only have the second option.

Yes, that's correct.

In 2.2, pressing the next button on the headset or on the phone no longer scrolls through the preset radio channels. =[.

Can you clarify what you mean there exactly. Are you talking about the screen timeout setting (which controls the lockscreen appearance) or something else? If the latter, where can this setting be found?

Lock/unlock sound. No idea if it has been.mentioned, I didn't see it on the main page and I can't be bothered to go through the entire thread (currently on an edge connection)
[Desire General] smudgelab:
Couldn't see this mentioned but apologies if it has... Occasionally & completely randomly, when replying to a text message, I get a pop up asking me to input a number but no extra pop up box to input one. This completely unnecessry anyway as I am replying to a message... Just me? Stock 2.2 / unbranded / unlocked... everything else, sweet as a nut just this "annoyance" every now & again... (annoying as you're only asked for this number once you've written your text & you can't input the jumbr s on box, so have to start again):confused: Not on the scale of globa warming I'll admit...
[Desire General] aindow:
It works fine for me. I had that problem once before and fixed it by restarting the phone.
[Desire General] Bouncer5:
In 2.1 you had the option to remove from download list or delete from SD but it wasn't so, I miss the clear all. :(

Also, Facebook image updates on the phone when someone changes their Facebook photo. Before you had to link and unlink.

E-Mail bug

Downloaded e-mail are removed when removed from mailserver. In 2.1 downloaded e-mail was not removed and could still be read, even if removed from mailserver.

I use the phone to check my mail account, downloading the complete mail, but not removing the mails from the server. My PC is setup to remove the emails from the server after downloading them, if not the mailserver would fill up. After the mails are removed from the server and I check for mail on the phone, the behaviour of the Desire mail program has changed from 2.1 to 2.2. In 2.1 the downloaded mails was kept on the phone and could be read. In 2.2 the downloaded mails are removed from the phone.

This is, for me, a major bug as the mailprogram is now unusable. I now have to drag a laptop, with the same setup as the phone, along to have my emails that are no longer on the mailserver available.

BTW it is a POP account not IMAP.

Other minor bugs:

I have not heard the notification sound since 2.2 was installed. In 2.1 a sound was heard when dismounting the memorycard, now it's silent.

Typo in the Norwegian translation for the alarms. In the list, "A" is used as a short for "Onsdag", it should be "O". This bug was also present in 2.1.
[Desire General] kekkle:
I noticed this too, but unsure if it was in 2.1
[Desire General] iLHaNroID:
Yes, it was there already in 2.1
[Desire General] th3:
*In the 2.1 ROM browser, when you tried to "Copy page URL" by long pressing the URL area, it would only copy after the http://www. section. This was one of my daily peeves so I remember it well. In 2.2, it copies the whole link.

[Desire General] e.gammieri:
I've found a bug! If you reset to factory settings using all apps -> settings ->SD and memory.... after reset the meteo sync is disabled by default, the news sync is disabled by default and gmail contact sync fail when retrieve some Google contact picture.

If I reset the device using power + volume down on boot all is ok...

And again: the voice input recognize always English when using the default option. For recognize Italian language I must explicitly set that language in voice recognition options!

RDS

Im not on Froyo yet, but my radio has RDS. At least it shows correclty the name of the station. If Froyo adds those marquee rolling texts to broadcasts thats a different story. Otherwise RDS works fine since I bought Desire in April.

Hi all,

the update wasn't visible for a couple of days for a lot of people but is since yesterday back available... I was wondering if HTC sorted out some bugs during that timeframe or if the update-server was just unreachable?

anybody installed froyo yesterday or today that can test some of the bugs?

cheers

[Desire General] chichoko:
I suppose that if such a thing had happened then us who installed FroYo earlier, would get an update of sorts.. but i dobt seem to have an update atm so i dont think they've adressed anything for now..

Happened to me too:mad:. Saved as draft, then sent OK from Drafts.
[Desire General] Ronok:
Something else I noticed about the keyboard in the browser:

With the previous rom (official 2.1 with latest update) I sometimes had a problem with the keyboard in the browser when I changed from portrait to landscape. The button shadow (when you press a key) was offset. The shadow showed up between the pressed button and the button above that. It never happened with sms or email, only the browser.

I haven't noticed this yet with 2.2
[Desire General] prcach:
already when mentioning landscape to portrait....i find with 2.2 less responsive, it needs more than 2sec to chance, or it wont change at all before i shake the damn phone
[Desire General] Ronok:
I got the same feeling. Although I don't know if it's LESS responsive than 2.1. I remember it being quite slow before the update.
[Desire General] TakashiM:
Gtalk

i like the new interface of gtalk, much more appealing and also noticed something new, now when in a chat the top bar with the contact name shows a little android to tell you that the contact is also on an android device.
[Desire General] otherkid89:
I recieved the update just now.. I have everything but my interface still looks exactly the same. Any ideas?
[Desire General] snark_be:
There isn't much changed at the interface, if at all. Minor changes or bugfixes. You still see the Sense interface from HTC, but the base Android has been updated to 2.2.
[Desire General] otherkid89:
ahh i see. i saw a vid on youtube and the bottom three command on the main screen had changed dramatically and the detail seemed to increase.. this a custom design then?
[Desire General] snark_be:
There are alternative launchers that replace the default launcher (thus HTC Sense) on Sense ROMs or are installed on a ROM without Sense at all.
[Desire General] otherkid89:
Oh I never realised that. I think ill stick with the custom one haha ^.^ thankyou mate :D

[Desire General] DoAndroidsDream:
Has the method in which the built in browser handles opening new windows when four windows are already open ("could not open a new window because you already have open the maximum number") changed in froyo? This is such a weakness in the stock browser.
[Desire General] steve228uk:
It doesn't seem to have changed and I HATE the layout of the pages view. I would much prefer it something like the bookmarks screen.
[Desire General] DoAndroidsDream:
The pages themselves are buggy and don't fulfill their purpose, but the error message itself is the worst.

Why doesn't it have a button to take me to the windows overview? Why can't it list the four windows that are open and allow me to close one? Why do I have to dismiss an error message just for clicking a link? Very, very weak.
[Desire General] ydnandy:
Are you able to get multiple picasa accounts to sync with gallery 3D? I was able to on 2.1, but after updating to 2.2 it doesn't want to sync more than one account. The app asks for permission, but it never imports that albums from the second account. Under the accounts and sync settings, there is no option for picasa pics on the second google account.

MMS now has a separate APN from data - great!
[Desire General] foxmeister:
Erhhhh - it always did???? ;)

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] matty:
not on my 2.1 update 1 version. It meant that receiving an MMS turned on data and then everything sync-ed, which increased the data charges significantly.
[Desire General] foxmeister:
If it wasn't already there, you just needed to create a new APN with an "APN type" of MMS. It's been like that since at least Android 1.5 - probably before, but I don't remember now!

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] matty:
you could be right - all I can tell you is 2 APNs were automatically created in 2.2, while only 1 was created in 2.1 update 1.
[Desire General] mikelalala:
Yep, that's true. Yet I still use portrait mode all the time and this bug makes it totally unusable.

* [All apps] Main menu scrolling is still lagging at the end of the menu.
