scrolling on any website is horrible with 2.2

Sticking with 2.1. Everything is working 100%. I see no real reason to update to 2.2 anytime soon. At least until Cyanogen gets a near-perfect ROM out.

hm, I feel the same way but I have to agree it's hard not to pull the triger. hard to sit on the sidelines and watch all this Froyo goodness pass by in front of my eyes :)

as soon as BakedSnack is updated to the latest build .6 of the Froyo I'll probably jump ship (after all WiFi tethering is confrmed to work, with netachy's kernel anyhow)

I think I found the problem. Flash is slowing things down. Go into settings with in the browser and go to plunging and set for on demand. It improves things a lil but still not as smooth as 2.1

I'm having VERY laggy scrolling and zooming too. I dont think we should have to resort to turning off flash. This update was supposed to give us flash, not make us turn it off because its too slow. Theres gotta be another way around this.

on demand and turning off are 2 different things imho...

flash is a very cpu intensive application (see why **one of the reasons** iphone said no to it). this isn't android or htc's fault... there is nothing that can be done minus throwing more hardware at it.

I dont think everyone has this problem you are having. My web browser is much faster and runs smooth. The pinch to zoom, scrolling ect are all just as good as before the update.

As far as iphone not supporting flash... its not for the reasons you think or the reasons apple told people. Flash runs fine on an iphone. Its a financial issue with apple. Everything is. The app store does not benefit from apple having flash. Imagine how many free game sites would be created and customized for flash touch browsers if millions of iphone users could use flash.Plus it would put much more strain on the Att network is the users were playing games on flash websites. So att and apple dont want flash and will never have it. Also the access to video flash provides isnt good for itunes sales. Its about money with Apple. Its not about performance.

fully agree... i meant more as to one of the reasons... poor choice of words on my part.

but you can't really deny that flash is a resource hog...

the "problem" that some users are having will vary from website to website too (depending on the content)
