I've noticed that if you allow the Google start page to access your location, the GPS icon up top does not go away after you've closed the browser by using the back arrow. I had to use ATK to kill off the browser to make it go away.
This may have been because it was having a hard time finding my location and I didn't give it enough time, but I do remember the Yelp app not clearing the GPS icon even after it got a lock.
what is the best way to back up your phones stuff before installing the leaked update? then how do you get it back to your phone after installing the update?

Could this be why urbanspoon/craigsphone etc. aren't working as far as browser capability go? I'd think if that's all, just a sort of "If bin/whatever/browser.exe not found, then bin/whatever/internet.exe" might fix it when they update the apps.
Alright so battery life don't seem any better. I checked status said my cell stand by without reception has been 71%. now today I noticed places I had full bars I now carry only one bar , two max. anyone else having this problem. its killing my battery badly.
Might try doing a *228. Not sure if it will work, but I just did it as well...
Am I crazy, or is the audio from the microphone is not transmitted through the earpiece anymore? I took my first call on 2.1 and when I speak I no longer hear myself through the phone... It freaked me out at first because I thought my microphone wasn't working. I guess it is a good thing...?
#832 - test call
#PMT (768) - make a payment
#BAL (225) - check current balance and last payment
#MIN (646) - check minute usage
#DATA (3282) - check txt and pic message usage
*611 - customer service
*511 - gives weather and traffic in some areas
*228 - update your Perfered Roamers List or update the software on your Phone (CDMA phones only)
*228 80 - force update, ignore fails
*228 99 - force seconday tower update

Don't think my Jawbone ever did that. Haven't tried it with 2.1 yet.
I tried to search but couldn't find anything. If I install 2.1 and I have some weird issues and want to roll back to 1.5, how do I do that? I doubt i'll go back to 1.5 but I would like to know how to get back if I do install 2.1.
Is anyone having problems with handcent sending messages.. About half my texts i have to keep re sending cause they don't send
Yeah mine is doing this too, except they actually are going through when they say they aren't. I tried resending one 3 times to a friend, and she said "quit sending me the same message!" Many other times, i've not resent after it said it failed, and they reply back to the text that supposedly did not get sent.

Does anyone know how to make it so the return key on the keyboard will send out a message instead of just dropped the cursor down to the next line? I had it on 1.5 but can't find it for the life of me on 2.1 now..
I can't connect to HTC Sync or have access to my SD when I connect to my computer. I have restarted my phone several times, but nothing has helped. Has anyone else had this issue or know of anyway I can fix it? Thanks
Can you guys report what they're showing for Up time/Awake time ratio with 2.1?
Right now, I'm at 17:42:42 Up, and 17:29:35 Awake.
If I'm reading this right, this means my phone has been awake for all but about 13 minutes since I rebooted into 2.1 (haven't shut my phone off since I updated sometime around the middle of last night). With 1.5, I was averaging around 10-15% awake time, 20ish tops.
Now, holy hell I have spent a ton of time on my phone today, probably even more than I did the first day I had the Eris--but I KNOW I've put it down for more than ten minutes since I installed
However, I have been using it a ton, so I can't really compare the actual battery life to what I was getting previously with any sort of objectivity.
I wanted to see what you guys were getting for up/awake ratios, see if it's similar (maybe measured differently than it used to be?) or if I just have to hunt down the rogue process/app that's draining my battery.
(Also, thanks for the *228 reminder. I've been showing fewer bars since the update as well.)

Hey guys, here is the first issue I have found. 2.1 is running fine but not all of my contacts synced. I have a solid 80% of my contacts but random #'s are missing. Numbers I have added recently and months ago are missing. I go to my google account to check the sync status and when I go to sync my contacts again, a little message comes up at the bottom stating
"sync is currently experiencing problems, it will be back shortly."
I am logged online and checking my contacts on my gmail page and all the #'s are there, any ideas what to do. Is there a way I can export the list from my gmail and manually put it on my phone, there is an export option on gmail.

The weather on my htc clock/weather app has stopped working. Its showing the city, but no weather. I've rebooted, but no change. Any ideas?
*edit - The weather app showed no info, so I refreshed it, problem solved. Wonder why that happened? Never had that problem before. Oh well. Just got some fog rolling across my homescreen! Lovin 2.1!

Swype is working after the update, but I have had some problems with it force closing. Had to go into input and select it again after it would default back to stock keyboard.
clock/weather widget is screwy, homescreen stuck on Elsmere won't change no matter what city I set it on. . . open up the weather program scroll to current city and hit Home. . . clock/weather stays on Elsmere. Can't delete Elsmere either from the weather/clock app. Any ideas?

Press the weather section of the widget, in the bottom left corner is a refresh button, press it. Problem solved for me.

Doesn't work for me I'm gonna try a hard reset and see if that fixes the problem. Was fine last night and this morning. . . phone sat in car for 8 hours and starting acting up
2.1 was working fine alllll day long until now.
Now my phone has no sound when I get a call. I can't even change the ringer settings; there's no sound on the ringer preview and it is force closing every time I access the settings.
The touch screen is starting not to work either. I can't restart the phone without pulling the battery since the power button doesn't respond since it's stuck at the lock screen.
