[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
My phone went completely to **** last night, I'm guessing it's the same thing that's being described here.

Non responsive launcher, screen dimming, lock screen not functioning right, even Maps went to hell with the Latitude menus not responding. Had to reboot in the end (at which point I wiped the caches for the hell of it).

Since people are listing them, here are my widgets on a screen by screen basis:

1. Latitude & Buzz

2. News/Weather & Calendar

3. Google search bar ("home screen")

4. Power Control & Battery Snap

5. Facebook, Twitter & Music
[Nexus One General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
i think it's EMBARASSING for Google that the Launcher is still laggy as hell. I switched to the default Launcher for my Gingerbread review, and quickly switched back to LauncherPro afterwards.

Any customer which checks out an iPhone and an Android device with vanilla android rom, will think that Android can't be fluid at all thanks to the bad launcher performance.

i can't believe how Google still hasn't adressed this. The first impression counts, and at this point google will lose many customers because of the first laggy impressions on the homescreens.

Really hope that duarte will explain those android devs how important this issue is.
[Nexus One General] OferR:
What do you mean by laggy? My launcher seems to be OK.

Is it always the case or just sometimes?
[Nexus One General] Mokurex:
For me, it's not to the point that you would call it lag, but the responsiveness is not as good as third party launcher.
[Nexus One General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
ok i found a new issue:

the email app doesn't update my emails a lot of times. i have an exchange account and i set up the email app to only update the mails manually.

But many times when i enter the email app and trigger the manual refresh, nothing happens. No sync is being done. Only 2 times out of 10 it works. On froyo i NEVER had this kind of issue.

I have no clue what thereason for this is...restarting my phone fixes the issue for the next sync, but this can't be the solution...

anybody has an idea?
[Nexus One General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
laggy is maybe the wrong word.

it's like comparing a 60 FPS (frames per second) game beside a 25 FPS game.

The android default launcher is stuttery, it's not fluid. It reacts to input directly but the scrolling animation and the transitions are not fluid at all.

Just compare them side by side with an iphone or an android phone running launcherpro.
[Nexus One General] OferR:
I guess I'll give launcher pro a go.

Thanks.
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
i havent tried stock gingerbread, but the launcher is really that bad?

launcher pro is smooth as butter, easily hitting 55 FPS on scrolling. Using a live wallpaper reduces this (a lot IMO) to where its stuttery, but not bad.

but there is a clear difference. so unless someone never removed their live wallpaper, you may not know the difference.
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
It's definitely not "buttery smooth" but I also wouldn't call it bad.
[Nexus One General] pfmiller:
I don't about the supposed lack of smoothness, but what is annoying is how it sometimes takes two swipes to switch screens. That and the stupid bug where icons you try to rearrange sometimes disappear and end up in a folder on another screen.
[Nexus One General] adamspir:
The black screen bug and the launcher freeze bug seem to be really inconsistent! Today my ram was under 100mb full and the phone was running for around 12 hours when i just opened google maps, did a search and then hit the back button and the bugs appeared suddenly! Had to restart again... I really dont know what's wrong here...
[Nexus One General] danger-rat:
I think the issue is tied to Maps.

My phone has been running great all day until I opened Maps and "everything went Pete Tong". Reboot, and everything is great, until I open Maps.

Tried a few times, and my phone goes crazy after using Maps. Random black screen, locking up, keyboard disappearing, etc...
[Nexus One General] benjatt:
my problem is with the launchers. When in an app the system seems to shut any launcher so that when I press home it has to rebuild all the widgets etc. No black screens, force close messages, reboots or other problems but it really slows things down. Not sure its the launchers fault as I read that the system was running out of memory and google were on it so hopefully a fix soon.
[Nexus One General] Mitty1990:
Seems to be good but the major difference in my opinion is how good the battery life is, it's insane!

I had my phone with me at college and with normal use i came home 17h 43mins and still 38% left :O
[Nexus One General] ecdy:
Look around the threads, problems with Exchange Sync have been mentioned by at least three people. Maybe so few because XDA-developer types don't work for companies that use Exchange. For the flakiness in Exchange, which is very important to me, plus other problems, I've gone back to Froyo on my MyTouch 4g.
[Nexus One General] haturaya:
I do agree with you. Now my Nexus One with 2.3.3 riddle with bugs. I wish I didn't upgrade to GB. It just sync with my Hotmail only for half day (<10 emails). Then after that, nothing. It never happen with Froyo 2.2.2. A quick reboot solve the problem, but that's not a solution to this problem.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Lots of us are bound to have Hotmail accounts though... for what it's worth, mine seems to push fine.
[Nexus One General] Mokurex:
You could always revert back if you wanted to.
[Nexus One General] SunJOE:
Yes, GRI40 is fast, maybe relate with the extra memory space.
[Nexus One General] Lord_Buckington:
I've actually just noticed it too. It's not too much of a concern as I won't be needing Exchange Sync for much longer but for now I'll have to live with it.
[Nexus One General] Canadian Nexus:
Has any one noticed that the vibrate on notifications isn't working?

Seems that regardless of the setting I set for vibrate on notification (always, on silent) for sms, gmail and gtalk the phone doesn't vibrate after Gingerbread update.

Worked fine with Froyo.

I have a friend with a similar issue but haven't seen it reported on this thread.

So are your notifications triggering vibrations? Any solutions to this?

Cheers,
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Yep, I get vibrations with notifications as per usual.
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
Vibrations for notifications still works for me.
[Nexus One General] Canadian Nexus:
Weird. Why would it not work on some devices and not on others?

I am running stock and I am not rooted. Vibrate still works for haptic feedback and when I get a call when in silent mode.

Should I give a factory reset a try?
[Nexus One General] FLAC Vest:
What launcher are you using? But this used to happen back when I used my Captivate as my main phone; using Go Launcher ans having 10 screens and 80 apps on them, the launcher just couldn't stay in memory and had to load every time I hit home.

To solve this, try going into the menus and making sure it stays active and whatnot.

However I now use Zeal Launcher because it is very light and fast; love it.

Fix for greyed out Google Voice, Google Books

EDIT -- turns out that the country-related problem is a red herring. I've successfully re-enabled Voice and Books by finding a third-party APK, installing it, then uninstalling it. Fix survives reboots.

Discovered this by accident, when Google released a new Voice that supposedly fixed this problem, but when I checked my app list, it turns out that I'm back to the stock Gingerbread Voice -- and it's been working for several days!

Did the same with Books. Found a third-party APK (an older version, actually), told Android that, yes, I want to override a system app, then I started it, went back to "Manage your apps" and uninstall updates for it.
[Nexus One General] Canadian Nexus:
Indeed I am aware of the vibration settings in the individual apps and have checked them. I have even turned them on so that they vibrate on all notifications and still no joy.

Everything was working fine before Gingerbread, in fact I have never had a problem with my Nexus, it has always work well, I typically use the Google apps, not rooted and have been very happy.

This is just weird. I know vibrate works because it vibrates for other things.

Maybe I need to do a factory reset...
[Nexus One General] Canadian Nexus:
Looks like I solved this one.

I downloaded the app Sound Manager and found that vibration settings for notifications were turned off in the app (despite being turn on in every setting in stock Android). So I turned it on and low and behold vibrations started working. I even unloaded the application and it kept on vibrating.

Reading the 2.3 Manual there seems to be an Option for notifications in the manual that isn't showing up in the N1 build that I have. Seems weird that a third party app would see something that the others don't but whatever it works.
[Nexus One General] marcelol:
Just to add my $0.02....I've encountered the black screen running 2.2.1 & ADW EX

There are times I open the app drawer and POW, black screen. It'll happen 2-3-4 times in a row, and then it won't happen for a few days, maybe a week.

It's not specific to Gingy.
[Nexus One General] NexusDro:
Is there a reason why the stock camera doesn't have as many settings as the Nexus S? On the Gingerbread manual there's an option to choose different scenes. Is this a hardware thing? Also, is there a way to control the haptic feedback of the stock keyboard? I remember before Gingerbread came out I played with the updated Korean IME by Google with the Gingerbread KB layout and I was about to control the intensity of the vibration.
[Nexus One General] SHADOW-XIII:
actually those app are just "frozen" state, you can froze/defrost them by number other apps, for example Titanium Backup (requires root) ... still though, you cannot buy/add new books from inside Books application (can be done via website on pc though) and Voice will not work if you have not activated account on your PC (which is not available for non-US users anyway)
[Nexus One General] Dirk:
Try the V.01 zoom function. (Move phone closer to face).

Another reason to love the Black bar is zero risk of screen burn-in. :)
[Nexus One General] negroplasty:
It works just as well if you hit the swype button on the bottom left corner of keyboard after clicking anywhere on the word.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
I think that's one of the things I was used to, my first though seeing 2.2.2 again was 'holy crap they're huge' lmao

I think being smaller they give the impression of a higher resolution too, makes things seem a bit more high end.

Just updated stock nexus 1 and ran angry birds seasons then quit.

Now when I open the app list from the home screen the animation is all messed up and when I swipe through the list the icons flicker

seems to sort itself out once I open another app.

Also notice another very minor thing the button on the usb connected screen only shows Turn OFF usb storage it never reads Turn ON

[Nexus One General] phazerorg:
I manually updated last night and I'm pleased so far.

I like the black notification bar and new icons, although I also had no problem with the old ones. The new dark colours are easier on my eyes though, so overall I like the new looks better.

It doesn't seem any faster to me. My N1 was already fast before Gingerbread, and it's still fast now. *shurg*

The extra free space after the upgrade was a nice surprise.

SIP integration was my big reason for wanting Gingerbread. Only tested it a bit so far, but it seems to work very well. Many times better than any of the SIP clients I tried from the market with Froyo. Nicely integrated into the phone, just like it was on my old Nokia N95, except it's far better and smoother.

I noticed people mentioned the wifi indicator being gray or green. It was said that the green indicates a connection to Google? For me, it seems to indicate wifi signal strength. I've confirmed this by walking various distances to/from access points. The icon is normally gray to indicate wifi is active, and the gray bars light up green as the signal increases. With full signal, the icon is all green. With a very weak signal, only the bottom is green, and so on. I don't know about connecting to Google servers, but that doesn't seem to be the case for me. Anyone else?

Now I'm just waiting for a root exploit. Supposedly the author of rageagainstthecage has a new one coming out that works on Gingerbread, but is holding it back until more Gingerbread devices are available. I just want root a few useful things like Quickboot.

Happy with the upgrade so far, thanks Google!

[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
My LED notifications still work
[Nexus One General] haltemien:
Couldnt find it :/
[Nexus One General] timchoi89:
The green bars really indicate when the device is really connected to Google. It said so in the gingerbread manual. I like that a lot because my n1 will often times tell me that there's 3g signal when it's actually not connected.
[Nexus One General] Jyveafk:
If not mentioned, there's a nice easter egg in this version.

Goto settings, about phone and tap quickly on the Android Version a few times.

[Nexus One General] phazerorg:
I just checked the manual, and it's actually both. The green does indicate the link to Google services, but the bars do indicate signal strength. That makes more sense now. Lesson learned: RTFM :)

Is there anyone whose upgraded to Gingerbread that came from the MIUI rom? That's my current rom and I really enjoy the speed & the features it has (transparent status bar, clear "Notifications" button in the drop down, toggles in the drop down list, etc. etc.) Just wondering if it's worth going back to the stock experience. Thanks.

No. Snag the chainsDD su package and when you flash the update.zip also flash that before rebooting. You will then have a rooted 2.3.3.

I have also discovered that the 'set alarm' voice command now works.

It used to just say wrong version of 'clock'
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
Ok, a couple things I'll mention that I've ran across (for reference I upgraded by flashing dsixda's upgradeable stock rom, ran the OTA file from Google, and flashed the SU package):

1) adb remount doesn't work. "remount failed: Operation not permitted". I can still remount at a command line though with "mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system". This is related to some ro.secure property... but not a big deal I suppose, just something I wasn't used to coming from other roms that were pre-rooted.

2) It wiped off my AmonRA. I fixed this by remounting with the long command above, and deleting the shell script that checks the recovery (/system/etc/install-recovery.sh). The flash AmonRA from fastboot again.
[Nexus One General] kled54:
i found it

Don't cry, market will get updated to the latest version automatically again.
[Nexus One General] OferR:
It didn't for me.

Without any reboots, I did all the following using Amon RA 2.0.0:

Turned sig verification off

Flashed the upgrade

Flashed SU

Used Amon RA to mount /system

used adb shell (while in recovery) to delete /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

A single boot now, and that's it.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
also delete /system/recovery-from-boot.p
[Nexus One General] pfmiller:
It's nice for now, but most of it won't last. The extra space mostly comes from downloaded updates of preinstalled apps being replaced with new versions in system memory. For example the new Maps is no longer taking a big chunk of your memory.

Unfortunately, right off the bat we lost some of the space to updates to Books and Market which weren't included. Also the update didn't have the latest version of other preinstalled apps like Twitter and Amazon MP3 so they didn't free up as much space as they could have.
[Nexus One General] MitchRapp:
hmm I didn't cry. I haven't been 8 years old in 21 years...
[Nexus One General] MitchRapp:
Still feels good for now :) I gained about 10.9mb total in internal memory.

But yeah, old market for now - I think the newest version took 1mb more... dunno about the rest of the bloat (twitter/facebook/amazon etc...). I use tweetdeck anyways!
[Nexus One General] OferR:
I actually never did this. Not now and not with previous upgrades.

What's the benefit? mem space?
[Nexus One General] MitchRapp:
First bug I noticed in this rather awesome Gingerbread update:

When starting the "Phone" app, it no longer goes to the Dialer ... it goes to your Contact Favorites ... which is kinda like clicking Contacts... making both buttons act exactly the same!

The hidden zombie thing rocks btw... and the "screen off" animation... like Warehouse 13 :p

To stop stock recovery returning, along with /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

Mine doesn't behave tht way. Phone app displays phone dialer. :confused:
[Nexus One General] OferR:
Deleting /system/etc/install-recovery.sh is enough to stop the stock recovery from returning.

Starting with Froyo I believe, the Phone App opens with the last user-selected tab open. That is the last tab you selected when you last exited the phone app.
[Nexus One General] MitchRapp:
nah, tried that. I remember froyo acting that way. now it goes to favorites no matter which tab was previously open.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
My contacts shortcut goes straight to favourites, and my phone button goes straight to the dialler.

This is because the developer has limited the distribution to Android 2.3 (API Level 9) while Android 2.3.3 is API Level 10.

You'll have to wait for an update from the developer.
[Nexus One General] Snoduz:
This is probably not of much interest, but... here are some numbers I got when running a bunch of casual Benchmark tests (Linpack, An3DBench, Quadrant, Smartbench 2010 and AnTutu System Benchmark) before and after updating from stock, unrooted 2.2.2 to stock, unrooted 2.3.3. Restarted my N1 between each different benchmark program, but not for each run in the same program.

Summary for the lazy: Overall, I saw improvement in some of the tests (Linpack, An3DBench, Smartbench) and very little improvement/no changes in others (Quadrant, AnTutu).
