[Bib]

That's like saying get such and such car. It's so cool. Only no engine or wheels.

Do you really use the multi-touch function while using the keyboard?

 

[Shamrock13]

I'm confused as to why they took out the .com button. It seems like the biggest no brainer to have that there.

i noticed there are now a ton of robot icons on my gtalk buddy list and chats. any way to disable this? i prefered only texts, since i dont have a picture for all my contacts..

I FINALLY got the phone to vibrate for incoming emails while in vibrate mode. Haven't gotten a text yet, but I'm hoping that works too.


Update: works for texts too. It's the little things that make me happy!

Haha! Good one.

I tried the HTC keyboard and quickly found it useless. I type fast and without multi-touch, the keyboard misses key presses. I had the DINC before the DX and had the same problem.

Has anybody been able to get Flash working?

I had to download Flash 10.1 from the market (yes, I know it came with Froyo) because it wasn't working. After I downloaded it, it works great!

 

[albiewan]

Is it just me or has the volume increased with both the ringer and media? I can now hear everything much better than before. Hmmmm.

 

[danlaw777]

Droidlight works with 2.2

mototorch works just fine for me...

 

[r3dlined]

Anyone lose their 1x g3 tag next to the signal on the notification bar? I sure did WTF?

You can now clear the searches in the google nav app. It was a concern for some because you weren't able to clear wrong searches. Just go into settings then manage applications select the all tab, select maps then clear data. The next time you start the nav app all the searches will be gone.

My PIN works fine with or without the my exchange account configured. Removing the account allowed me to remove the PIN screen, but that doesn't really help. I'm not sure what you're getting at?

What I was getting at was that I couldn't disable the PIN entry being forced on me (for the 1st time) until I deleted my exchange acct. Then the option was enabled; so I disabled the option that was forcing me to enter my PIN, and then reentered my exchange acct. No PIN entry required and my exchange data syncing without issue. I was one of many facing the predicament this morning.

i like the voice app, but when i double click the home button, it doesn't really work. it'll work maybe 3 out of 10 times.

also my camera seems to close down a lot. and when i take a picture and during the "preview" screen I press delete, it actually saves the picture.


I've also noticed that my signal goes down more. I had to restart my phone to get my 3G back up. It was stuck on 1G.

also the handscent timestamp is way off now, wut the heck..
can anyone provide some assistance

Me too. People say the timestamp issue was fixed with the 3.2.7 update and it also says that on the Handcent website:

News & Events

While my old incoming texts still are like 6 hours late, my outgoing ones have the correct time. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app and the old texts still show the same times, but I just received a new text and it's showing the timestamp correctly. So, at least for me, it looks like it's only an issue with the texts I received when I was on 2.1. New texts received while in 2.2 seem to have the correct timestamp. If you're having issues, I'd recommend uninstalling and reinstalling, but supposedly it's fixed. (Or try messing with the set time stamp offset setting. The default is -6).

I am still having issues with connecting to WPA2-PSK AES set router on my home network, just disconnects and reconnects over and over. I was really hopping for them to fix this. Plus now when I try to connect to my WEP router its fine, but ONLY after I reboot from trying to connect to the WPA2 router.. grrrrrr.

Plus I hate the app drawer staring at the top. How annoying. I don't expect these updates to be perfect but has one froyo update been on the money, from what I've read they have all had some major issues.

Oh and CHOMPS sms, shows my text coming 4 hours before they actually came, but that seems to be and apps issue.

Are we supposed to see 512MB RAM now? Where can I check?

Chrome to Phone has GOT to be one of the best apps added to the market for Froyo. Also, the Battery manager is a thousand times better and being able to move the phone 270 degrees or whatever, and the louder notifications, and FLASH!
VERY happy!

would someone please explain some scenario usage of chrome to phone?

Say I'm looking at Google Maps on my laptop, but I need to leave ASAP. If you just hit the Chrome2Phone button in Chrome, the map is instantly sent to your phone so you can just grab your keys and phone and be on your way.

It works with links, maps, etc.

The biggest use I have for it is browsing a site like this or XDA and finding something I want to download (wallpaper, apk, etc), instead of downloading on my laptop and then transferring to my phone I just hit the chrome to phone button, open the page on my phone and download there.

The little droid emoticons are back in Google Talk, but still seem to be missing from SMS... I missed those little guys.

Might have already been mentioned, but if you use Firefox instead of Chrome, you can use the Fox to Phone add-on which does the same thing as Chrome to phone.

For those of you who had problems with Exchange 2003 not connection. Froyo has fixed this issue. I have synced my account and everything went smooth!

I synced my email account, but as silly as this sounds I cant find it. Where would it be, I named it work email and it is under "accounts" but I cant find it as an icon to put on one of my screens.
