I'm using it right now for couple of hours and I've noticed talk notification during call but it was in stock color. Need to do more testing:D The point is that it still does what it's supposed to do:)

EDIT: @Mrplennium you should check if talk notifications are enabled in Light Flow. I think my were disabled at start.
[Nexus One General] Matterhorn:
I agree, the notification bar icons are way too small.

You might want to try "Lock Screen Widget". At least you save the power button for some of the presses by using the widget to sleep.
[Nexus One General] dan1431:
I could not be happier with GRI40, while the notifications icons are small (I have missed two GTalk notifications because they are so small), the speed of the phone feels much better (could be subjective).

My screen also appears more vibrant and clear (again could be subjective) but maybe the most stark contrast is apps which are running far better than they were in FroYo.

I was worried the first day with GRI40 about battery life which did not seem so great but after 48 hours I am actually getting better battery life than I was under FroYo (in the same us conditions).

Hello guys after the upgrade, I find the old market, how can I do??
[Nexus One General] Brownbay:
When you first setup your Google account on the phone, did you select the check box that asks if you'd like to restore previous apps?

I was having the same problem and so I reflashed GRI40, but this time, I opted to restore my apps. That seemed to have worked as the market updated shortly after the phone was on (maybe 5mins after you open and close the market).

I don't see why or how opting to restore apps would affect the market update, so my experience could simply be incidental.

I am very unhappy with the keyboard in GB. I long to hold your finger on a new word to be saved. Why not click the word to save others?
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
I have to admit I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to say..?
[Nexus One General] Sarg92:
Just tap the word you want to add to the dictionary twice.
[Nexus One General] Sarg92:
When I connect the phone to my computer via USB, I get a message on the phone telling me to "Turn USB Storage Off" but clicking that turns it on. So am I right in saying that this is a bug which incorrectly says USB storage is on or off?
[Nexus One General] worker1:
Don't see anything but I'm impressed by how fast I can settings-about phone-home and repeat.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Correct, it's a bug. It goes away if you set your language to US English.

Are people getting a GPS fix on Gingerbread? Mine failed the couple of times I tried but sometimes on Froyo it would take a while.
[Nexus One General] ~David:
This is known :P Has been for some time.

@worker1: Just keep tapping really quickly on "Android version" until it pops up.
[Nexus One General] ~David:
GPS works flawlessly here. It gets a GPS fix almost instantly.

That's one thing I've always loved about my N1 and Desire; fantastic GPS reception.

I'm using radio 5.08 btw.

[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Works for me.

Anyway, my latest gripe; the new cursor positioning system. Often completely useless! I find the cursor ending up in random places, and scrolling to find it won't work as the screen seems to have an elastic attachment to some position of the text box.
[Nexus One General] ap3604:
This was already shown almost 2 months ago. Not that special :rolleyes:

Indeed, the trackball moving of the cursor is horrible.

I also liked the swiping up on the previous keyboard better than holding the '.' to get to the symbols.

I installed the official one from Google's severs.

Not that it should be any different from the one you've installed, though.
[Nexus One General] SHADOW-XIII:
@regarding new black bar: awesome! maybe not looking as good as white one but it saves the AMOLED screen a lot! I had already bits of burned out pixels (hardly visible but still) from white color on my screen, that should vastly increase life on all AMOLED displays!

same with Google Earth. Must say I am very glad with GB savign space, could install tons of new apps now.

Anyone checked if you can have widgets for moved-2-SD apps or widgets still disappear from the list of available widgets when the app is in SD?

thanks for info!

my thoughts as well, I think it's got something to do with "Keep awake", probably when not awake, the battery usage drops significantly. I notice also that Facebook keeps awake (ex. it did whole night) ... not sure how it impacts the battery/phone

anyone got idea if I can add other languages to stock GB dictionary without root?

---

also I think I found bug (typo), on USB connection the button always says "Turn off usb storage", even if it's off already

[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
It doesn't do it any favours, put it that way.

Still, you'll probably find that Facebook has signed you into chat, sign out and it should give up it's wakelock.

My First impressions

Here are my first impressions :

Good points :

- It seems to be smoother, I can see it especially in the 3D Gallery.

- The new UI design and the black notification bar is awesome.

- The animation when the screen is shutting off = great !

- I save some spaces in the internal storage.

- Root it easily thanks to xda members.

- the new keyboard seems to be nice but I prefer Swiftkey.

- Copy/paste function is more ergonomic.

Bad points : (probably not Gingerbread fault but maybe apps compatibility)

- Amazon MP3, Facebook and Twitter are always include as native apps.

- Trackball notification doesn't work anymore with handcent.

- ADW Launcher EX lags. It's like stop motion. :(

- When I want to activate the GPS with Extended Controls, it doesn't activate it directly, it's a shortcut that brings me to the parameters where I can activate the GPS.

- I used a clock widget from Cowon and the clock doesn't refresh anymore. It's a little bit annoying as it is expected to give you ... Time.
[Nexus One General] fautpasycraindre:
Ahaha ! Nice ! Does anyone knows if we can, download it, or where is it in the build ?
[Nexus One General] garrettc67:
Love it! Thanks for bumping this to our attention!
[Nexus One General] michel-slm:
Odd, I followed those steps exactly and there was no flickering. Updated to 2.3.3 from 2.2.2
[Nexus One General] sergey.povzner:
Going from CM7 RC1 to stock GI40 feels like a downgrade. No separate delay for lock and screen timeouts, less free internal storage (although more than in Froyo) etc. Was curious to see if the battery life was any better than CM7, but not sure yet if it's any different.

But Home and Search buttons suddenly stopped working right after the update (the phone registers the button press and vibrates, but OS ignores the press). Any ideas? Back and Menu work fine. Didn't do a wipe.
[Nexus One General] Mokurex:
Agree, it kinda feels like a downgrade with so much options in CM, but I'll stick with stock until they fix the call wonk issue.
[Nexus One General] michel-slm:
Is anyone else experiencing the Google Voice application becoming unavailable (still installed, but no longer in the menu) after the update? I did the update while in the States, and recall GV disappearing right after the first time I used it back in Germany. Had to resort to downloading a backed-up APK and installing it on top.

More details here -- http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/voice/thread?tid=36cc102179e74a3c&hl=en -- most people experiencing this seems to be outside the US, but one commenter did claim it happened to him in the US too.
[Nexus One General] cjd888:
You used to be able to see wake lock usage in the *#*#4636#*#* menus but its gone now. I know the battery usage display shows total awake time but is there another way to show wake lock usage by process?

I also had battery usage issues for the first few days after updating, the phone showed as being awake all the time (I tried with wifi on and sleep when screen off) and the android OS showed as using all the power which would drain the battery in a few hours.

Then all of a sudden it was fine and now the usage profile has completely changed Mobile standby being at the top of the list (as it should be I guess)
[Nexus One General] SHADOW-XIII:
I assume it's same with Google Books - it's there but not in the menu ... they are doing region checks to see if the app is available for you now?

[Nexus One General] coreyzw:
Seems ive been getting some errors in the Gallery. I went from 2.2.1 to 2.3.3 with the manual update and intermittently the gallery screws up. First it was the share option for photos ive already taken. Once I hit share, the following menu that should pop up with the options of how I want to share it (messaging, email etc) did not show up. The screen dimmed like there should be a new menu in the foreground, but nothing was showing and depending on where I tapped on the screen it would choose what "should" be there for the option. Even closing out of gallery and opening it back up didnt fix it.. till about the 4th time doing so.

Also ive lost some photos that were in the gallery taken just the other day.

Very wierd...

Has anyone had the issue of the Phone and Contacts app opening on the Favourites tab? This has only just started to happen to me.
[Nexus One General] mtw4991:
There is a TD duck pic in Modversion and a zombie art in android version of CM7 fyi.
[Nexus One General] Bohemus:
This has been happening to me as well. Havent figured out why or how to fix it.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Contacts opens on favourites, and phone opens on dialler for me.
[Nexus One General] Kiki_B:
It happened to me :

- Open the Phone app

- Go to the dial tab

- Dial a number

- Quit

Now, if you restart the phone app, the dial tab should open.
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
I believe the phone app opens up to the last screen you had it on, what ever that may be.
[Nexus One General] OferR:
Phone always opens dialer.

Contacts opens either Favorites or Contacts based on quoted logic, i.e. the last of the two you had it on before.
[Nexus One General] Sarg92:
Brilliant! A similar method works for the contacts app;

Open the Contacts app

Select and call a contact

Quit to the homescreen

The contacts app should work properly then so that it opens on the contacts or favourites tab, depending on which tab was active when you exited the app.

Can someone tell me what to do, when my carhome.apk isn't showing in the drawer and wont open when i put the phone into the dock? (also google books and google voice aren't avaiable). Tried to clear the settings, but this option is just grayed out. I also tried to reflash the update - no solution.

Btw, my market isn't updating...
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:

Austria.

Before updating to gingerbread everything was just working fine. I had the newest market-version, and the carhome.apk was working as expected.
[Nexus One General] k_myk:
Guys, can you tell me does gri40 updates radio version? I've updated radio manually from 4.06 to 5.08, but now sometimes I'm being disconnected from google services quite often. Now, when indicator in ststus bar tells me about connection with google status I'm wondering if that happened before radio and/or GB update. Do you think downgrading radio back to 4.06 would break something?

Other thing (quite disturbing): When I answer phone call I'm not heard for 1-3 seconds. In the meantime I can hear little crack noise and all is back to normal. Anyone experienced something like that? Can it be connected with radio?

BTW, mybe it's just my imagination but I think that older radio gave me better call quality. Voice was more clear.
[Nexus One General] Nikos_s3:
I think that makes 2 of us...I am having this issue too. Every time someone calls me, the first 2 seconds that I answer the phone, they just don't hear me. It is a bit inconvenient...

I also don't think it's radio related, since I have the older radio 4.06...
[Nexus One General] mattpannella:
my phone has done this since i got it last april
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
That would explain why Books and Voice won't work. I am pretty sure they're only authorized to be used in the US.

As for carhome... not sure if it is restricted as well or not.

The market thing is a known issue, it will load the new market after the first few times you use it.
[Nexus One General] geemaan:
We're not seeing some apps because they are region dependent and the region is given by the country the SIM belongs to. Just like when I want to see the paid apps in the market I have to replace the sim Card with one from a country where the paid apps are enabled.
[Nexus One General] MitchRapp:
just a note: Car Home is still in the app drawer for me (Canada) ... but Books/Voice are not.

all 3 appear in my applications that I can uninstall though. Just not in the drawer for books/voice
[Nexus One General] n0w4y:
I'm now using gingerbread for about 24h and i opened the market several times. Normal it takes so long?

@MitchRapp:

Could you check if you're able to clear settings of google books and voice? Or at least click any button in the "Manage apps"-section. As I said, on my device everything is grayed out. So that would give a hint, if cardock isn't available in Austria (nevertheless it was under froyo).

/EDIT:

Forgot to say:

I'm also not able to delete the settings of the market. Does this also belong to the same bug?
[Nexus One General] JimSocks:
anybody notice slow microSD card (gallary, wallpaper) reading since updating?

i have a 16gb class 10 card. when i hook phone up to my computer through usb cable reads it fine.

but when i try to access through phone alone, sometimes nothing shows. The weird thing is I can still take pictures and videos fine, but when i try to see it theres nothing, but once i go home and hook it up to computer its right there, perfect.

Edit. Installed astro file manager. Works now. Sucks that stock gallery sucks

No Exchange Sync

Google changed the Exchange Sync software in 2.3 and now mine doesn't work any more. I noticed my a/c wasn't automatically getting new mail from work, and in fact wasn't getting anything, even when asked to sync. I uninstalled the old a/c and tried to setup a new one. Sure, it's very easy--

Accounts & sync settings > Add account>Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync>type in email address and password---then it gets into a loop with

"retrieving account information" (1.5 seconds) blink "retrieving account information" (1.5 seconds) blink etc. continually. Plressing "Cancel" gets "Cancelling" then back to "retrieving account information" (1.5 seconds) blink. The only way to turn it off is to go to the home screen.

I've tried setting up on WiFi and on phone. I've let it sit for 10 minutes, blinking.

UPDATE: The "Manual Setup" button did not initially appear on the first setup screen, making it impossible to set up my account, which needed domain name, etc. The ExchangeSync setup appears at first much easier than before--it just asks you to type in the email address and password. However for my server that just started a loop. The Gingerbread Manual says a Manual Setup button should be on the first screen--but it wasn't. After about eight tries it did appear, and I was able to add the detailed information required.

SUMMARY:

I had to re-install my ExchangeSync a/c after the upgrade; the old account seemed cut off.

The ExchangeSync setup can be more complex than Google indicates, requiring just as much work and data as setup on earlier versions.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
My Hotmail account over Exchange ActiveSync still works just fine.

When Google Voice first stopped working -- not immediately after I swapped the SIM card, mind you (I swapped it in the States pre-departure and still used GV over wifi), but the first time I connected to a cellular network in Germany with a German SIM card -- I could still clear its data from Manage Apps. It seems to depend more on whether you have any data to clear or not.

Car Home works in Germany, but until I started it "Clear Data" is greyed out too. And yes, Books is not in the menu. Kind of odd since, on the other hand, I could go to the Google Books and Google Voice websites just fine!
[Nexus One General] SHADOW-XIII:
worth noticing: root is no longer required to make screenshots of your android desktop in Gingerbread (from cyanogen).
[Nexus One General] n0w4y:
So the only possibility that i see, is that the carhome.apk from gingerbread is excluded (or at least they haven't included) from the use in Austria.

Would be nice, if someone with root could use market enabler and select an austrian provider ([AT]). If the cardock.apk isn't showing up in the drawer after a reboot, i know who to blaim (google in this case...)

thanks for your help guys!

the laggy scrolling IS within the 2D app drawer. I never used the 3D one, only the 2D because it was perfectly fluid on launcherpro.

Widget Locker issue (not related to trackball wake)

I saw a couple of issues with Widget Locker after upgrading

1) I have a Widget Locker custom slider on my lock screen, containing a shortcut to Starred Apps from Apps Organizer. That became unresponsive a couple of days ago. But if I unlock the phone, the same Starred Apps shortcut on my phone still works fine. Rebooting fixed it.

2) Then the next day, all of a sudden the lock screen became almost completely unresponsive. Whatever action I do, including the unlocking slider, would not do anything. The screen would respond (if at all) very slowly to my gesture, then nothing happens, then after a while the screen would go off with the animation, but the animation runs really really slow, taking a couple of seconds. I can see the screen being slowing squeezed down vertically, eventually turning into that horizontal line of light. It was really freaky when I 1st saw it, I thought my phone broke. I had to power it down (power button still worked), but interaction through the screen to confirm power down was also really unresponsive and slow.

After disabling Widget Locker since yesterday, so far no issues.
[Nexus One General] :
I'm experiencing inconsistent performance too

I'm experiencing the "lag" as well. Used to be very smooth when transitioning to the 2D scroll app screen, transitioning from home screens, and other scrolling elements on 2.2.2. I did a full wipe, re-updated with the full update, but still not getting the smoothness your experiencing.
