Mind my asking.... What is difference between always on and on demands??
After upgraded to 2.2, I think it works well even with LED flashing Handcent...
Flash on, means everything flash related will be displayed, causing jerkiness in scrolling. On demand is when you choose what flash content to be displayed. I prefer on demand, esp when you know what you are going to do, say watch a video clip. You just choose the video clip to load. Possibly saves bandwidth as well.
"Let me just say I'm coming from Windows Mobile"
Nuff said. Operator error.
Operator error? I guess you've never used windows mobile? I believe what I said about WinMo and Android about apps in the background, running or closing, makes perfect sense, and is NOT a user error.
in the 2.2 update. Froyo was so over-hyped it's crazy. I gotta say I am one of those that expected more. I have the unofficial version and i'm happy how snappy my phone is, but aside from that, I really see no diffs, besides the taskbar changes, etc.
I agree, I believe it was over hyped a bit too much. Also I knew what was coming, so for those that said I'm disappointed because I was over-hyped, not true. I've read the PR's and feature lists, watched vids on Froyo. I explained my problems pretty well.
These repetitive topics are annoying
In my first line or 2, I said this was a minor vent, ignore if you don't want to read.
Well, if you are going to start a new thread making a claim, at least back it up with some facts or change the thread title to you are dissapointed and don't speak for the rest of us!
Did you read the thread title? It doesn't require facts nor claims. It's simply a question, does anyone regret getting 2.2. I don't think that speaks for the rest of anyone.
It's annoying to see a bunch of topics of no substance. It really said nothing you couldn't have included in the other thread.
I guess you wanted to feel special
Like I said, minor vent, ignore if you don't want to read. And no I didn't do this because I wanted to "feel special." I could careless what you guys think of me, it's the internet after all.
OP seems pretty upset it didn't make him breakfast in bed this morning.
Yep your right
. Thanks for your helpful post btw
. Guide?...lmao.
Quick questions... Which update did you apply? And are you still running a Task Killer? In my experience with Android (again this is my experience) anytime I had a 100% Awake issue with my Hero it was because of Advanced Task Killer and I have read in other posts that 2.2 does not like current task killers because of the new way to manage Apps. Don';t take me to the bank on that one but I would do another hard reset if I were you and do not install a Task Killer or Sys Panel. Maybe just install Apps one by one until you find the culprit.
Nope no Task Killer here, I also mentioned that I did a hard reset in my original post.
Are you blind?
New flashlight app (which is pretty sick), and even small things like some of the icons in Settings and the 3G icon at the top being different.
Messaging app has a different look to it. Mine does run better, and my battery has ALWAYS lasted me all day since day 1 so I don't give a shit if it runs for 20hrs or 40hrs. I charge it when I get home anyway.
You people are ******ed. You nit pick about the dumbest things.

Like a lot of ppl say, its the little things that matters. If they didn't mess with the already working things, why did they bother to change them? Especially my issue with texting, which I do a lot. Read that part.
So - ThatNew - here's another question:
I recall that in the .3 Settings there was a checkbox somewhere that said to run old apps in a compatibility mode.
I sure don't think I dreamt that. It's not in .6 so I can't verify.
On my .3, that box was checked. Could you check your settings and see if you have such an option and then toggle it?
It's buried in there somewhere, I've wracked my brain trying to remember where it was, so you may have to hunt for it.
I checked every option under settings, nothing there related to that. Also did a Google search, nothing came up. I barely if not have any apps since the hard reset, besides the ones mentioned.
For the battery life issue, check out this thread:

Many reported a big improvement in battery life under 2.1 after doing this, and it's possible that with 2.2 this needs to be redone.
Already done, and was already set to CDMA auto (PRL).
Well here's sort of an update for me for the charging issue and possibly the awake/up time issue. I found a thread posted a while back from doing a Google search on one of my issues.

I knew I was going to get bashed posting this post, but at least there's still some decent people out there, thanks.
