Allready stated Chome to Phone, but not added..

Really nice feature - Tried it :)
[Desire General] kekkle:
Added now :)
[Desire General] psycop:
Just noticed the following features aswell:

When you send a youtube link to the phone - the phone opens the youtube application

When you mark a phonenumber and send it to the phone - The phone opens the dialer with the number

When you mark text and send it to the phone - The phone copies the text into its clipboard
[Desire General] Flaggie:
I think they improved the wifi, used to have only one bar, but now have 3 bars. (although it could be that they just adjusted the way the bars are shown :p)
[Desire General] kmetek:
what is that actually?
[Desire General] gm1980:
Upgrading today to froyo Apps cannot move to SD. The button is not enabled. How can I move to SD card?
[Desire General] Mike1988:
- Facebook tab has more features (HTC Contact app)
[Desire General] williap:
You can't, what I mean is that if your friends change their facebook profile pic, this now changes in your peoples tab. This wasn't working in 2.1.
[Desire General] jaymit:
New update info! I am not entirely sure about this but the way that the HTC music player reads music tags seems to have changed and some of my music is not organised in the same way that it was before, furthermore more album art has been detected.
[Desire General] steve228uk:
- Pressing and holding home now brings up a new recent apps menu that shows 8 apps instead of 6.

- All programs has been renamed, All apps.
[Desire General] kekkle:
How it dims the back is beautiful!
[Desire General] Domsdey:
New look for the "recent apps" menu when you hold home button. (don't know if that has been mentioned).

edit: oops, someone found it before me, sorry.
[Desire General] kero89:
For music player,

does it go into coverflow mode when the phone is in landscape position? :D
[Desire General] kekkle:
Nope, still portrait mode only support.
[Desire General] @MARK:
maybe they are just copying Apple?
[Desire General] madsere:
Swype seems not to work with FroYo. It just goes bing when you try to swype text.
[Desire General] Mike1988:
- You can now decline a caller with the lock. (push up slider)
[Desire General] Black-Star:
There is a new tap in the music player named "bought songs" :p
[Desire General] martintzvetomirov:
I think it would be more useful if mods made this topic sticky. Is there a way we can vote for that (or propose it to one of them)?
[Desire General] kekkle:
In an other thread it's been found out that you'll need to reinstall Swype for it to work.

Was already in 2.1

Was already in 2.1
[Desire General] XDA mark:
- It slows down your phone :/

Seriously, everything was nice. Then my battery went dead, I went home and plugged it in. After the reboot I tried to play my 720p 'sample', it said 'unable to play blablabla' :o

After some time I could play it, but my entire phone was slow like hell. I used ATK to kill some stuff and changed wallpapers, but nothing. Anybody else having a slow experience with Froyo?
[Desire General] Mike1988:
- - Birthdays of Facebook contacts are now fix in the HTC calendar (you can delete any more?)
[Desire General] williap:
Anybody having problems with the pattern password lock?

Have this switched on but only asks for it if I restart my phone.

Does ask for it if I turn on and off like before?????
[Desire General] martintzvetomirov:
Birthday reminders of fb friends have appeared in the calendar :)

EDIT: Wow, Mike1988 was first :D
[Desire General] Jongo:
Scientific calculator simply turn on side
[Desire General] Sapphire008:
Swype is working fine with working me without reinstall
[Desire General] steve228uk:
Was in 2.1
[Desire General] thpoul:
*Radio now has RDS.

*UTF-8 issue with Greek sms still exists.
[Desire General] monsterfly:
Only when in photo mode. If in video mode icons don't rotate.

Is it me or is android guy different in incoming/outgoing call screen?
[Desire General] jaymit:
Ok I know this doesnt go here but I dont wanna start yet another thread. I would like to suggest that we consolidate froyo threads into a few stickies (e.g. info about the update and instructions, new features, modding and porting) and then only one thread per problem (as opposed to the several we have for problems like camera not working).
[Desire General] thpoul:
*Locked screen has now a widget for the music player
[Desire General] bridgstfer:
The facebook app now have an Inbox for your messages - boom
[Desire General] loizoskounios:
Was already there in 2.1.
[Desire General] aindow:
Mine's always done that I think.

Another thing is you can now tilt the screen to the left or right and have the on-screen keyboard follow it.
[Desire General] loizoskounios:
In the Sound Settings there's an option to play Lock/Unlock Sounds. Coolio. :)
[Desire General] aindow:
In the volume settings you can adjust more settings independently from each other such as notifications and ring volumes.
[Desire General] jordanxp:
BT

No more accidental screen activation by proximity sensor while talking with bluetooth.

While turning on "Mobile Connection" it turns on for a second then disconnects and than back on again, but under the menu it says "Failed..."

When I plug the phone to my PC and choose disk drive the weather'n'clock widget stops displaying the weather. Is that a bug???
[Desire General] vineshdark:
internet sharing using the wifi :)
[Desire General] gobak:
after the update, the only thing I can see in the "downloaded" tab in the Market is Google maps. Looks nasty as all the apps but htc-ime (force closes all the time) are installed and working. Afraid of reinstalling all the stuff because I really want to have the apps updated.
[Desire General] Playa93:
Oh, just noticed that there's a new video icon in the app launcher ;)
[Desire General] 325i.:
On froyo I have noticed that app killer is not killing the apps properly.

When I kill the apps and then reopen them, it goes back to the last screen.

Does this happen to everyone?
[Desire General] aindow:
The FM radio no longer has the Japan mode which was on there before the update. I'm using a WWE ROM.
[Desire General] Bouncer5:
Probally been posted

But when you in the camera app, when you have it "normal" the icons have all shifted for a portrait mode and rotate and move along with the menu, Which it never used to do :)
[Desire General] al89nut:
So, BBC iPlayer works. A bit stuttery, but it works
[Desire General] kazgor:
Don't think its been mentioned.

in Friendstream, its now shows the time posted, num. comments and num. of likes.
[Desire General] Stuart5851:
Anyone's home screen changed?
[Desire General] kazgor:
nice one.. would never of figured that one out.
[Desire General] kmetek:
Make this sticky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Desire General] ed10000:
Could someone tell me what all the fuss about the new smart dialer is about? Couldn't find much info on this. Thanks :)
[Desire General] Domsdey:
The scientific calculator is here at least from 2.1. It's a HTC app, they put it on WinMo devices as well.
[Desire General] Malong:
I am loveing this update so far. But in 2.1 you could (if you used a slow connection) turn off flash, but i can't find that anymore.. Anyone know if it's been removed??
[Desire General] mr marvolus:
The compus seems to have had an upgrade too.

Hay people just tried the google maps and went to street view and with 2.2 this compus is as smooth as butter unlike the jurkey control I had with 2.1. Check it out, works the way I wished it would, now I wonder how about layers?
[Desire General] emptygenius:
"Instead of just the time of the next alarm time. It also shows which day."

I don't have anything showing the next alarm on the lock screen. so what exactly does this 'new feature' mean?
[Desire General] kekkle:
If you use a lockpattern. On the lockpattern screen, the time at which the next alarm will go off will show on the left. Previously it would only show the time like "09:00". Now it would also show a day like: "Fr 09:00".

This is only when using a lockpattern. It won't show on the pull-down bar screen.
[Desire General] kilohercas:
So now it can do 720p @ 30Fps at sunny day.

Also i notice upload speed is 3x better ( in wifi )

and flash is preloaded, so you don't need to go to market

also better Wifi and GSM signal strength

But still no divx support...
[Desire General] Nuntius:
Do you know if there is still the problem with the photos of the contacts' quality when syncing?
[Desire General] pascanu:
Can someone please (PLEASE) tell me where's the option to send a contact directly to voicemail? I can't find it anywhere.

The thing is I already had it in 1.6 on my G1 and thought its not there anymore in Android w/ Sense.

[EDIT] Never mind, I found it. Can't believe I missed it for so long, it was right in front of me.
[Desire General] kilohercas:
and one more bug.

Gallery can see resource pictures for bookmarks, that is not good..

also after killing internet stock browser, it go not into home page, but in last visited ( i don't like that)
[Desire General] gobak:
Date format is corrupted, systemwide. Instead of days it shows just numbers from 1 to 7. Also, the battery is being sucked like hell. With the market issue, I think I will just wipe and reinstall my phone.
[Desire General] williap:
It's in their contact details, under information.
[Desire General] pina_:
help someone?
[Desire General] kekkle:
Using an alternative browser? As I don't have this issue.
[Desire General] kilohercas:
I am using stock browser (web kit)

and as i say before, after killing internet browser and go back to internet, it goes not to the home page, but last visited :confused:
[Desire General] tuatha:
It's missing Plurk, Car Panel and Amazon MP3 apps, compared to the leaked 2.0.6 rom.
[Desire General] th3:
Great thread! That really is a substantial update. More like an upgrade I'd say.

Qs: Can you now choose which folders to view (and exclude) in the Gallery?

[Desire General] andrew2106:
Zoom not available with 720p video recording.
[Desire General] gush:
hi, since upgrading, i've lost 'privacy' in the settings menu.

is this just me and where has backup settings gone????
[Desire General] The_Hawkster:
May have been mentioned but just tried taking a few photos with the camera and not only does it seem to auto-focus quicker but it also takes the picture much quicker, there were a good few shots I used to take which turned out blurry because it took a few seconds to focus and then take the shot and in that time my hand would start to shake slightly, it seems to have eradicated the problem now because of the speediness of it.

Good stuff. :)
[Desire General] MilkyJoe7:
Yes...it's also missing Bluetooth voice dialing which I'm particularly annoyed about. I was waiting for this!
[Desire General] tuatha:
Yep, gone.

Though I can't actually remember what was in there in the first place.

Don't know about backup settings.
[Desire General] Ronok:
I think the fps is alright in daylight but some people say the resolution looks upscaled rather than native hd. There are a few topics already on the forums with test videos. Even an iPhone 4 comparison.
[Desire General] psycop:
Yeah just tried myself, it is much faster to take a picture
[Desire General] martintzvetomirov:
I don't know if it is just me but I think that Froyo drains the battery a little bit less than Eclair
[Desire General] plaktoets:
Correct, my smooth calendar widget is showing numbers even though its configured not to. However the call history shows normal dates so I doubt its systemwide.

Something else I'm a bit disappointed that space consuming apps like earth and maps still can't be installed to sd.
[Desire General] mcgon1979:
Defo agree. The 800x480 looks sharper when played side by side with the 1280x720 one. Defo looks upscaled. Altough, the data rate on 800x480 is about 1900kbps where as its 8100kbps on the HD recording, so it looks like its certainly taking in a lot more data...
[Desire General] Storbank78:
Auto Update in marked?

How do I activate the auto update feat. in marked?:confused:
[Desire General] steve228uk:
Go to 'Downloads', click an app and it should be in there :D
[Desire General] flashflash:
FM Radio fixed. Used to use 85% CPU now doesn't even show up on the monitor. Also an incoming text message used to mute the radio and only a soft reset would fix it. This has been fixed.
[Desire General] kekkle:
I just did a full recharge 2 hour ago and so far its still at 100 percent. That is with ebuddy and browsing xda. So sofar it seems a lot better already.
[Desire General] jordanxp:
Same problem here.... and now i can't even start the camera app :confused:

In Settings - Wireless and networks when I turn on WiFi sometimes it displays "obtaining IP address although it's already connected

And there are new downloadable htc widgets - dice and coin if anyone cares... :rolleyes:

guess i'm gonna have to do a factory reset... again!!!
[Desire General] Storbank78:
Thanx mate :o)
[Desire General] ctomjudo:
Got my Thai fonts install without rooting!
[Desire General] mscha:
Browser supports animated GIF. :-)
[Desire General] psycop:
:o

Arabic fonts seem to be installed - I can open arabic pages on my froyo

Edit: Partly supported... The letters are not supported :/
[Desire General] doinbox:
U can now rotate screen both ways.

Don't know if its been mentioned not had time to check whole thread.
[Desire General] loizoskounios:
I don't know if this has already been mentioned, but when you receive a phone call while the phone is locked, instead of the same bar that's shown when the screen is locked, you get a red stroke at the top and a green stroke at the bottom to signify that by dragging the bar to the top you decline a call, whereas by dragging the bar to the bottom you accept a call.

Edit: I think the "Location" icon in the settings has been changed to a sharper image as well.
[Desire General] aindow:
It looks like car dock can be switched on automatically when the phone connects to a paired Bluetooth car kit. Seems like they've really tried hiding it though for some reason.
[Desire General] mcgon1979:
You can now attach files on posts like this using the default browser. Built in file system means you can browse the gallery etc to attach video images music or voice recordings. Brilliant.
[Desire General] jenom:
In the music app you can now add "all songs" for example by one artist and the songs are ordered by their albums and title number. In 2.1 sorting was alphabetical. This did not happen when loading a single album.

music app -> song ordering fixed.
[Desire General] formformer:
looks like the lock/unlock drag is litle bit higher )
[Desire General] @MARK:
Also

Activesync corporate directory search now works
[Desire General] steve228uk:
When you click 'Add Shortcut' and then 'Bookmark' you'll get a favicon for the bookmark icon.
[Desire General] doggie123:
A change for the worse: the music player suddenly shows and plays all my songs alphabetically, instead of using my album grouping. Terrible!!

I have one folder per album. Each mp3 name = 2-digit track number + song title. This used to work great.

Or is there a fix... but the music player menu has no Options or anything... Grrrrr
[Desire General] mrmangosir:
Hmm.. text to speech. Remember the Nexus having it, but do not remember 2.1 HTC desire having it.

Don't get the torch, very nice! Especially with the power settings, but still.
[Desire General] carlha:
Everytime I open the mail app now it deletes the messages already in the inbox!!! Rubbish
[Desire General] chpd:
When getting a low battery warning you now have the option to jump from the notification to watch the phones battery usage..
[Desire General] Skimi:
You can rate comments in market, very usefull!
[Desire General] supasye:
Doesnt read tags of wma files properly.
[Desire General] mikecoffee:
Google listen doesn't work
[Desire General] ivertal:
home screen

Hello all,

do you know why the update didn't change home screen (new look at all)? There should be three buttons - call button, menu button and web browser button.
[Desire General] steve228uk:
That's stock Froyo. This has HTC Sense UI.
[Desire General] jordanxp:
because it has HTC Sense and it has no updates, the homescreen with the 3 buttons is stock android home
[Desire General] jameson_uk:
Looks like linking contacts to Twitter accounts now works properly. Before you ended up with no source of the contact (ie. where is says Facebook, Google, Phone, ...) now the existing twitter accounts are named as something like com.twitter.auth.xxxxxxxxx and Twitter account is suggested link.

Adding new Twitter account replaces the existing one
[Desire General] robguerra:
Yeah it works... Go to the Videos applicaton, and they're all there (the avi's)
[Desire General] nielsvg:
i have a popcorn hour. can i make a wireless connection with it? and what settings do i use?
[Desire General] Bouncer5:
The camera app thing where it rotates only works in the photo section, not the video
[Desire General] Martin987:
Don't know if its been posted but I just noticed a new messaging widget that looks like Friendstream. Much nicer than the other one I think :).
[Desire General] tommienu:
Recorded with my HTC Desire running Froyo:

Youtube - Video-ID: BlaviXoQszI

(sorry, can't post outbound links yet - maybe someone can quote this and put in the proper link? Thanks).

Unfortunately are the stutter/hacks in the original file as well.
[Desire General] MD1500:
The update seems to have removed the black HTC Search widget. The standard white Google Search widget looks out of place with my other black widgets on my home screen.

Loving the rest of the update.
[Desire General] ouglouck:
The Chrome to phone extension works for me (HTC Desire). Did you install the .apk program on your phone ?
[Desire General] Vincentdh:
I am getting similar quality on both my Desire with still an old test version of froyo aswell on my sisters Desire which is running the official froyo release... However I don't have those hickups occuring.. fps is around 20 ish.
[Desire General] chingf0rd:
People app - keyboard

So far loving the Froyo update on my Desire and whilst going thru all the new features, I came across this weird one (not sure if it was on Eclair):

On running the People app, you can hold down the Menu button to bring up the keyboard. I was expecting that you could type in the contact name to search, but no, it brings up a weird opaque black box that show what you type but nothing happens...and this box just stays there unless you hold down the delete key for a few seconds.

Any idea what on earth this is meant to do?
[Desire General] crozuk:
Also very curious as to what this is meant to be!
[Desire General] Pelly1982:
I will test that tomorrow. Travelling to work on the Train, my girlfriend's old brick Sony Ericson's radio is a lot better than the Desire.
[Desire General] Domsdey:
Bolded was already in 2.1 :)
[Desire General] Cwiiis:
Unfortunately, long-pressing and adding to play-list/playing on an item in the music player still adds them in alphabetical order. Quite surprised they didn't fix this when they've clearly made other improvements in this area (much faster, slightly better look)

Also, I'm kind of disappointed that they've replaced Flash Lite with official android flash - The latter has much better compatibility, but the former performed much better and didn't cause as much slow-down, or lag behind the page scrolling. Not holding out much hope for Adobe fixing this, given the quality of Flash on all other platforms :p

Overall a good update though, pleased with the speed boost and some of the new features :)
[Desire General] doggie123:
Swiping the trackpad ++

Another notable improvement, at least to me: swiping the trackpad to move the text cursor has become 10x more sensitive, faster, and more accurate. I always felt it was mediocre, in 2.2 it is superb!

It is also faster when using it to jump between links in a webpage, almost too fast, but that's hopefully just a matter of getting used to it :-)
[Desire General] doggie123:
Bookmark sorting

Found one more: the browser now remembers the last sort order for bookmarks, even after a reboot. Finally we can set it to Alphabetic and be done with it!
[Desire General] vick82sydney:
anyone know if the sense mail pack can do mltiple exchange accounts now ?

wasntleeting me add 2nd one with any custom roms... had to use other app
[Desire General] rottunix:
Is it me or is Places also a new app?
[Desire General] tuatha:
It is, but it was part of the last google maps update, so nothing to do with froyo.
[Desire General] millinnium:
New Animation for the HTC Sense Widget (weather)
[Desire General] darkpain:
After discovering and exploring my new rom for hours iam very excited with the result!!Much faster,great keyboard(more languages,smileys insertion,more space in messages,characters are showing now),also i like the flashlight but

i have noticed that the htc search bar widget is been replaced by googles one and no more color options!!!!
[Desire General] harvey007:
Froyo's original gallery 3d with pinch to peek

Too bad HTC has a customized version of the gallery installed. I was looking forward to froyo's original gallery 3d with all the pinch to peek fluff.

I've already searched but I'm not sure if there is already an apk for this somewhere in this forum. If anybody has any idea about this, please post a link, thanks!
[Desire General] madsere:
I would think that is unchanged as it is something Google do when syncing, not the phone.

Same problem with sound files available to the music player regardless of location. This is apparently "by design". Check out http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3129. If you disagree with it please add your voice to the discussion so perhaps one day the Android developers may change this.

How do you get street view up in Google maps on the Desire? I can't seem to find it anywhere.
[Desire General] emptygenius:
But the Bookmarks widget doesn't allowed to sort by name.
[Desire General] stavros86:
First boot everything works apart from camera application and video record when i press them i go to the central screen again,i restarted the phone 2 times same problem,anyone else with that problem?
[Desire General] psycop:
Camera works fine here

Unbranded desire from denmark
[Desire General] jobalz:
mine doesn't work anymore after froyo update
[Desire General] jaymit:
Confirmed does not work on unbranded desire from UK. Also note that the market is having some issues (installed apps not showing in the downloads section, apps not always opening properly)
[Desire General] A|ex:
i had this problem on one of my desires too, i ended up formatting the SD and factory data reset and now the phone works fine, no more random restarts or camera issues.
[Desire General] jobalz:
the camera works now. did nothing
[Desire General] jaymit:
how long did it take after the update for the problem to be resolved -- did you restart or do anything at all?
[Desire General] daern:
Fine here. Unbranded (and un-rooted) Desire in the UK.

720p video seems quite good.
[Desire General] stavros86:
mine fixed too!! i dont know why but it works now!
[Desire General] jordanxp:
I had the same problem but deinstalling LED Light widget fixed it :)
[Desire General] siliconaddict:
No camera problems here :D
[Desire General] jsemczyk:
The camera app did not launch after upgrade.

Factory reset solved it.
[Desire General] Mark One:
A simple search before dupe posting would save you a reset - this problem has been covered by at least 2 earlier threads. The answer, works for most, is here:

Hi everyone

Have recently moved to the x10i, previously owned the desire. Have been looking around the forums as well as google for some answers but could not find them. Would appreciate if you could help:

1. Reject call with sms - any app for this (or maybe I missed it in the settings)?

2. Turn to mute functionality - do I need an app for this in x10? if yes, recommend one pls

3. Contact groups - group sms, email needed for the google contact groups I have

Thats it for now. Thanks! :)
