[Official] Gingerbread Update - Bugs, New Apps, etc.

Does anyone know if z4root will still work after the update? I still haven't received mine yet.

I have not been able to get it to work since the update.

Does anybody know if the Gtalk app was updated? I remember correctly it should now allow video chat with GB

Update done.

Only 2 issues I found so far is AIM won't log in (Already mentioned) and all my saved Alarm Clocks (my get up for work alarms) were deleted, I had to reset them all

Seems I was wrong about the Google Voice voicemail issue... took about 20 minutes, then I got it again. Every other time it was instant. The voicemail notification is irritating.

True. I'm guessing Google will update it through the Market. Hopefully.

Thank you for noticing that! I wouldn't have realized that until I was late too work.

I thought I read somewhere that GTalk video would only work with GB 2.3.4...

From my understanding that feature comes with 2.3.4 and we all got 2.3.3 so it isn't available for us.

 

[mrpre5]

Jaysus is correct. Gtalk will only work with Android 2.3.4.

Appears that you can no longer set the alarm to play a song for wakeup.

Several functions of SwitchPro are no longer working.

I use Handcent sms and it allows you to go through that and then pick music.

Extended Controls still works fine.

Check the first post. I have been keeping it updated with what is new that we have discovered as well as issues with the upgrade.

If I have 2 emails in my exchange mailbox, check them via outlook, even if they are marked read in the mail clients, the icon still displays 2 new emails until another mail comes in......

Phone won't charge via USB after GB update. The amber light stays solid but level of charge stays the same. Charge works fine when plugged in to wall charger though. Also, after a while, phone will just shut off (at least the screen) with the amber light on top flashing, and I can't get the screen to turn back on

Anyone going through what I am? This is quite important as I'm on-call for work...thanks in advance!

Mine is charging fine either way. Is the battery indicator animated showing it's charging?

I know this will sound silly, but it could be the charger or something that just went bad. Remember the USB cord doesn't pump out the amps that the wall charger will.

I always use the Battery Current widget in Elixir -- this will tell you what current your battery is charging at. Try adding this widget and plug into the wall and you will most likely see between 500 and 1000 mA, with the USB most likely below 500.

@NicksGarage: It does show it's charging but the green bar doesn't move.
@Mikey47: You may be right. I'll look for that widget. Thanks!
