I have this problem too. Can't stand it. Very annoying.

My battery life today on 2.2 seemed the same if not a little worse on 2.1.

Hope tomorrow is a different story.

Gallery is different and fixed.

2.2 still displays my texts out of order, and no option for unlimited messages.

2.1 showed my texts in order, 2.2 definitely has them all over the place despite multiple restarts and battery pulls.

just using stock text messaging

A nice improvement for me:

How are you getting 1454? I am getting 1354 after a single run. I have root and did the OTA update.

Please advice how to increase the score

calendar sync is still broken. for whatever reason when i add an appointment on my phone it automatically invites me as a guest to the appointment that i created... it also does this with other calendars as well. seems to affect all of 2.x i was really hoping this would have been fixed...

Text times are accurate on mine.

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.

Should be just a regular white and red icon that says Email....

If you haven't tried that already

times are accurate its just the order they appear in the stock sms app is all over the place

Looks like my audio problem is gone!

I would loose my wired earbuds or audio blue tooth when a call would come in. I could receive calls though the earbuds and bluetooth, but I would have to reboot in order to get my music back through the wire!

Is anyone experiencing any issues with the haptic feedback after updating? The phone barely vibrates when I hit any of the keys.

I'm impressed that you can edit video clips before sending them! Also the google maps are more user friendly.

I have noticed this as well when I unlock my phone using the pattern unlock. Also in 2.1 there was haptic feedback while typing, now in 2.2 there is no feedback while i type using either the touch input method or swype and I do have the setting enabled.

I think anyone having an issue like this should do maybe one battery pull, and then a factory reset. If you use appbrain, it doesn't take that long to recover and it will definitely heal what ails you.

I actually like the softer feedback. It was previously too loud. You could here me typing in class or a quite room.


ALSO. my text timestamps are correct, but like others, the conversations are out of order. Rather annoying.

when sending a MMS through handscent I get Nationwide Coverage not available.

delete all your convos and this fixes that problem.

Unless I missed it in 2.1, now with Froyo update I see an option for multi-window management in stock web browser. Is that new? Very useful option to switch between multiple open windows or to kill open windows.

hows the battery life with the new froyo update? better? worse? same?

Well, it's only been one day, but for me it's much better so far.

We've always had the option to edit video and pictures as well.

i've sent MANY video messages and was NEVER asked if I waned to edit the video. You can now coose the start/end point and you can choose not to save the edit. The only option I remember seeing before, is asking what quality I wanted to sent it. I would have noticed because my Palm Pre Plus allows me to edit and alwas wonered why my Droid X ddn't. I thought maybe y phone had a glitch, but this is listed as a new 2.2 feature on the video. Hmmm :/

 

[Montuhotep]

I almost got super upset. I plugged ny HDMI Cable into my Droid X and TV to watch Cloverfield. Used it to watch Kick Ass before the update. My tv kept saying "no signal". I was going through menta changes (blood pressure rising). After 5 minutes of checking connections and input options in the menu, I noticed on the phne, a TINY box that read "hdmi" with a "play" arrow. That box is soooo tiny. Now, you have to select that box to view your gallary on tv, as opposed to before, it was automatic. Glad I cought it. Saved me an emberrassing moment with tech support! SMDH

Mine seems a bit softer--which I like a lot better, but it's basically unchanged.

Infinitely better. I was on mine all morning and at noon, the battery was only down to 80%. Before it would have easily been well below 50%.

I recall perfectly now. Before when trying to send videos, if the file was too large, it simply said "file to large. Cannot sent attachment". No option to send a clip. Now you can!
