Wow, Froyo is so much faster! The Desire is fast enough but it seems so much more fluid especially when running third party apps and web browsing

Startup time seems to have halved too.

If anyone has a minor problem of the WiFi signal looking weak, just restart your phone and it fixes it

Edit: you can really see the difference in speed by loading the applications list, opens instantly now woop

Can't say that I've seen much difference in speed with the update. The 720p video is quite laggy, will post an example as soon as it's uploaded.

How do we move apps to SD? Do they need to be reinstalled?

I've just done a manual check and my unbranded 3 Desire has prompted for 2.2. I'm installing it now.

[markuk]

[eteyen1]

Dear naysayers:

Agreed!

 

[svb123]

My Desire runs 1.19.161.5 and no update available, I'm guessing that means it's branded? How can I unbrand it with a mac?? :O(

 

[Selrach]

Good luck, jimlad.

I am now downloading an update... in Kazakhstan of all places... I kid you not!

I've just tried a 720p video test, a bit laggy.

YouTube - HTC Desire Froyo 2.2 Update

My phone has now finished the update and everything is as it was before in terms of my set up and data. The first thing I see is new widget graphics. I'm going to hunt around the phone and have a play.

 

[mjbyrne]

Swype no longer works on a Desire with Froyo. Guess it was 2.1 only.

 

[jimlad]

mine has now booted, says 2.2 but its the same, and i have no network connections... bricked grrrrrrrrrrrr

720p seems okay to me, even in your video.. ever so slight stutter I guess but nothing that makes the video unviewable And there does actually seem to be an improvement in video quality.

You can move apps to sd by going into the applications list, clicking on an app and then clicking on the "move to SD card" button. If that button is greyed out then that means that app does not support being installed on the SD card as it hasn't been updated to support that feature.

a tip for everyboby else.

mine tried to install but failed complaining that there was only 12mb of phone memory free - said it needed 22 point something mb memory to complete the installation.

I uninstalled google earth and ran the update again - a few automatic restarts later and it gave a message that it had successfully installed.

Seems to be looking good now.

Holy christ!

I was getting 6Mflops on Linpack before the update, now I'm getting 25Mflops!

Im having the same issue, i think it could have been the fact that I updated it without the goldcard being inside?!

Is your Desire a network operator and did you debrand it?

 

[jimdriver2]

Swype no longer works on a Desire with Froyo. Guess it was 2.1 only.

Ouch, i'm kinda glad I can't upgrade yet, hopefully that will get fixed asap, don't think I want to go back to the built in keyboard, Swype is far far superior.

Do you have an Orange phone that you unbranded?

 

[mark@bolwell54]

Hi guys, my 1st post on this site. Been watching it for a few days for the froyo update.

Mine has been updated now but I have noticed that the screen lock password doesn't work! it works the 1st time after you reboot but not after that!

P.s what is goldcard?
