Wasn't there supposed to be FM radio support and multi coloured trackballs in this release, or was that just enabling access with actual apps to come later? Anyone know?

 

Just updated to v2.2. This is my second time manually upgrading (v2.1 was a no-brainer, too). I have a T-Mobile phone but using it in Singapore (Singtel).

Initial bootup (the animated four-color splash screen) took longer than usual. My Beautiful Home widget was stuck at "loading". I deleted it from the interface, added it back in, and now it's restored.

I'll play around and see if there are really any dramatic real-world improvements.

Edit: I had about 26MB of free RAM before Froyo. Now it's jumped to 42MB. And this is before I've moved any of my programs onto the SD card.

Edit: Although I see the "Move to SD Card" button for each app, it's always grayed out, so I can't perform app2SD.

Edit: The counter-clockwise rotation is EXTREMELY sensitive. All I have to do is hold my N1 up vertically, tilt it forward towards my face (the LCD closer to the horizontal plane--i.e., screen facing down), then tilt the phone to the right. And BAM! the screen rotates counter-clockwise. Is it because of Froyo, Launch Pro (beta), or the combination of the two?

Edit: USB 3G tethering works flawlessly on my Thinkpad X200T on Singapore's Singtel network. Just plug in your phone via the USB cable, turn on tethering, and my Windows 7 finds the necessary driver online. Too bad it's useless to me, since my laptop has built-in WWAN already, but it'll come in handy for anyone without broadband mobile on their laptops or wifi-enabled phones/devices.

Edit: It crashes my Handsent whenever I sent an SMS. The SMS itself sometimes does get sent, sometimes not. When I go back to the conversation screen, I see the clockwise waiting icon that is permanent, even if the SMS was sent successfully.

 

I got my (non protected) apps onto my SD card by doing this :
Force all apps to SD on FROYO - xda-developers

Now the guy in the thread said all apps should move over after that but only my non protected apps were able to go across to my SD card.

It worked for me and if you have any knowledge of ADB, it shouldn't be too hard to do.

 

on google maps, it's much more accurate using tower triangulation than it was before. It still has a circle on location, but the circle is tiny and centered on me, where before it was a six block radius and my actual location was on the outside of the radius. Could be coincidence, or could be froyo.

 

I now have a blue flashing trackball for SMS alerts, thanks to ChompSMS.

 

Does Chomp work handscent is giving me an error and wont send anything.

 

Yes. They released a new version today:

FroYo issues - chompSMS

 

no chomp doesnt work either at the moment fc's all the time just needs to be updated to 2.2 from what i hear





edit------ never mind update came out today

 

Probably coincidence, as mine's been doing this for ages pre-Froyo. When Google went round streetviewing places, they scanned access points and MAC addresses and located them on the map, so if your phone spots an access point that's in the database, it uses it to refine your location as the access point has quite precise location data associated with it. Of course if that access point is moved then it's no use, I'd have thought that it would use mobile phone masts to locate you and if an access point with plausible location data from streetview cars is found, it uses it.

I found that if I fired up google maps with WLAN turned off, I got a wide location radius error indicator, then when I turned WLAN on and the network connected, it shrank down to my address, then turning WLAN off caused the radius of the location error indicator to increase again. This was all pre-Froyo.

 

The stock keyboard is utter shit.compared.to the HTC one(as ulyou can see hy this uncorrected typing)

Hope the HTC hi Res is ported very soon

 

It's out already:

xda-developers - View Single Post - [MOD] HTC_IME (29th April) v25: Custom sounds and much more

 

anyone tried tethering to multiple devices?

 

Coming from an HTC hero to the N1, I found the N1 stock keyboard better, not at first, but I quickly got used to it and ended up preferring it.

Just don't try the voice recognition ;-)

 

Overall, the phone feels snappier, but one thing I don't like is the new "messages" appearence, I preferred the old dark one

 

I thought Froyo was supposed to also have HiMem built in?

 

it has, I can see more than 200MB of free memory in my Nexus One at the moment!

 

Can't swipe down the keyboard to get rid of it.

A massive pain on the web.

 

my first thought was, wow this sucks, being on stock sucks. I cant wait for Cyanogen to get his hands on this. Aside from all the goodies it comes with, I think the normal function as far as switching apps,sliding screen, and app draw animation is slow compared to 5.0.6 But i love all the new features
