Mine was always set to "never"... However, change it to 15mins, then changed back to never. Will see if that help. Home and work as less then 10mins apart, so I'm not convinced the 15min time out is the problem.

Let me know how you get on?

Seems to have fixed the problem for me. It's picked up the network straight away again.... Went out a few times today for well over 15mins.

I take that back.. It's still playing up!! VERY annoying!!!

I notice last night that the GPS was playing up.

When first loading any mapping application it would get a location nearish to where I was but once a satellite fix had been acquired it moved me several hundred metres from my current location.

I tried several apps over several hours and the same thing always occured (even the circle around the pointer on google maps seemed to suggest it was a good fix).

This morning I checked and the same problem occured.

I powered the phone off and on and everything now working OK, this has never occured before and the only thing that has changed recently is upgrading to FroYo, anyone else seem this?

Cheers

Hi Gang.

Okay so this maybe a problem unique to my Desire, as I installed a custom baked 2.2 ROM from MoDoCo.

However.....

Ever since I did my update last week, I'm failing to receive picture, or movie messages. All I get in the message is the text to whatever has been sent, and a "Download" button. When I click the button nothing happens. The working icon comes up, and spins, but nothing else.

Has anyone else had this issue?

All I know is it was working fine before I rooted, and installed this new ROM.

Thanks in advance

Andy.

EDIT...

Okay according to the HTC site, I should have "Maximum message size" in my MMS settings, along with a few other settings. This one, and another setting, "Priority setting" are missing from the options. Does anyone know if they are in 2.1?

As soon as I updated to FroYo 2.2 I have noticed an annoying problem with the data connection...

It seems to have reset the settings for some reason, it just does not want to receive any data over the data network! I make the mobile data connection available and the H symbol appears and the upload arrow seems to be going strong but nothin on the download! I have tried allsorts from resetting to factory settings, to changing the settings for mobile internet and MMS but still the same problem - The data connection just wont work, which means I cannot browse the net using it also cannot send or receive MMS messages, I cant understand it!

I am on O2 network, it worked flawlessly on Android 2.1 and since Ive paid the extra for the unlimited data usage I`m a bit frustrated!

Has anyone else come across this issue?

Thanks

Yes, I had this issue after upgrading this morning along with the GPS becoming inaccurate issue.

Restarting the phone fixed the GPS.

To fix the data problem, I went to
Settings -> wireless and networks -> mobile networks -> access point names

I found that the access point wasn't selected. (i'm on 3).
Selecting three.co.uk (the only option) immediately started up my data connection and I have been fine ever since.:)

I seem to remember that before the upgrade there were 2 options in the access points. Can anyone still on 2.1 confirm this.

It seem that the Froyo brings way more troubles to this phone, than bonuses. Am I right on this? My current 2.1 works flawlessly, the only thing that I don't like is inability to install apps to SD.

ps. 720p recordings that I've seen - looks terribly bad anyway. Well, seeing on the lens of the device it's not hard to guess why :)

in my case, upgrading to FroYo was no trouble at all. even more, my battery lasts longer, i've more RAM available, and of course, one-click tethering, automatic updating of apps and an 'update all apps' button (hooraay !! :D) and moving apps to the SD card (although only a few support this feature right now, it's still nice to have). The only issue i had was my APN settings getting messed up and having to write a new profile - which took me no more than 2 minutes!

so i'd say go for it, but it's just my opinion. good luck!

I updated to froyo, but for some reason, flash is not working at all. I checked the applications, I have flash installed. I did factory reset, hard reset, everything. No luck. Want to try flash on my desire. I even did a manual update as well. Software version is 2.2 but my stock browser keep closing without force close message. Anyone?

Ok small update for you...

I was messing around and thought to change the "Network Mode" under "Mobile Network Settings" ... ever since I got the phone it has been left on 'GSM/WCDMA auto' and worked fine until I updated to 2.2.. now I get nothing, I decided to see what would happen if I changed this to 'GSM only' which only supports 2g and it works fine coming up with the G (GPRS/2g) symbol, but as soon as I switch back to try and use HSDPA nothing! Its like I`m being stopped from receiving data downstream but the upstream is trying its best! :thinking:

Theres only 3 things I can possibly think of that is 'could' be..

1. I did receive a new SIM card from O2 before the 2.2 update so that may have something to do with it.

2. The HSDPA Network in my area is down or playing up.

3. The Froyo update has caused it (it only started after this)

I guess my next step will be to contact O2 and HTC support to see what non response I get...

Will keep you updated incase anyone else is having same problem

---UPDATE---

I decided to try something else, I used to have an iphone before the HTC Desire, I took out my SIM and popped it back into the iphone and used the same Data Connection settings as on the desire, EDGE worked as GPRS did on the Desire, but I get the same problem on the iphone as I do on the Desire with 3G/HSDPA! ... This has narrowed it down in my opinion, it must be a HSDPA Network issue somewhere or something at O2s end of the equation, the new SIM card thing is sitting in the back of my mind now! On to O2! ... HASSLE!

Hey Paranoid,
In my case I am on danish network Telenor, and I certainly didn't change anything at all except Froyo when my problems started.... So the problem is most certainly not only O2 or your new sim. I wouldn't be too surprised though that somehow the sim gets "degraded" in a way... if that is even possible...

My phone automatically enters to a car mode and allows homescreen rotation even if I set rotation OFF.

It is kind of annoying because I cant turn it off and my calls keep dropping when it is in car mode.
Since the FroYo update, my phone shows a car icon on the status bar when it is connected to a mains charger (though does not allow rotation of the home screen). Incoming calls still work OK, though, and I've not noticed any other bad effect of this.

Ironically, the car icon does not show up when it is connected to my car charger!:thinking:

Could someone with Froyo confirm whether the "music genre bug" has been fixed? Its that incredibly annoying one where the genre show up as Unknown if you have ID3v2 Genre tags.

Thanking you in advance!
Music genre, artist, and album name recognition seems to have been lost for .WMA files in the FroYo update. Seems to work OK with .MP3 though. Extremely annoying for me, as most of my 15GB of music is .WMA.

I've reported this to HTC, and they say they are looking into it.

I get the same problem (after installing 2.2) so it probably isn't your card. I've noticed that when I've got the phone set on that auto setting and there is no WDCMA (which there often isn't where I live) then I get no connection at all - whereas before it used to use GSM if the other wasn't available. Now I have to leave it on GSM only and manually check if I can get the faster connection whenever I change location. Annoying.:(



UPDATE: I took the phone to where I know I get good 3G access, changed to use WDCMA only, browsed for a bit, then set it back to GSM/WDCMA and browsed for a bit. Now I'm back in the non-3g area I've left it on this auto option and it seems to automatically use the GSM with no probs. Yaaaay!

Hi guys, just a quick update...

So I downgraded from 2.2 back to 2.1 with HBOOT 0.80 using a method I found on these forums, and it was seriously easy. Once I downgraded I needed to root the phone to fix some errors apparently (ones I did not notice), but it seemed to work just fine anyway. Once I was back on 2.1 I could not get a 3G/H signal at all, just G(2g).. I soon realised the rollback was before a 2.1 update to correct this problem. I rooted the phone using aformentioned method and decided to flash a FroYo 2.2 Stock Rom back to see if it made any difference! ... Well my data connection did the exact same thing after all this, but last night I tried it and low and behold it actually worked....

I now have a rooted Desire running stock FroYo 2.2 and everything is working spot on, I dont know whether this is all just coincidence but I am back to being very happy with everything! Thank god!

...bring on Gingerbread :p

Does anyone use the music control on the headphones ( unfortunately I do as I have job where I stop start throughout the day, otherwise I'd use my Sennheisers)

Well now it is very hit and miss when clicking to restart my music/podcasts, sometimes it does, othertimes it seems to hang then maybe play or restart from the wrong track.

Dunno if this is a noob-question or not, but just noticed something annoying.

What's with the small "screenfade" after unlocking the device? Any way to get rid of it? Never noticed that with Eclair, and it looks horrible. (Perhaps to facilitate those who use a separate lockscreen-wall than their regular one, but for the rest of us it looks like crap)
