LEASE READ:-
Before you go and post about an issue you are having check this list to see if it is documented already and if a fix has been found. There are too many "My Netflix isn't working!" and "I cannot get rid of Voicemail Notifications!" posts in this thread that could have been avoided if the user had just read this first post. Also, if your issue pertains to a third party app not working properly make sure the app is supported by Gingerbread. You should be able to find this out by looking at the description under the Market.
Although I am not at my computer 24/7 making sure this main post stays up to date with new issues people have found, I am making it a point to keep tabs on it and update it as often as I possibly can. With that being said, if any of the info found here has helped you, clicking the THANKS button would be greatly appreciated.
New Apps/Features
+Downloads App which looks to be a shortcut more or less to what you have downloaded recently.
+TeleNav GPS Navigation which replaces Sprint Navigation. It offers a standard free service and a paid for $4.99/month.
+When turning off the phone you get the option to Power Off, Airplane Mode and Restart now.
+Turning on the screen now fades in instead of just popping on.
+Pocket Mode under sound settings increases the ring volume when phone is in your pocket or a bag.
+Flip for Speaker sound settings allows you to activate the speaker phone during calls by turning your phone over.
+Group Message feature added under the stock SMS App.
+The ability to enable Animated GIFs within the stock Browser.
+Better Copy/Paste functionality.
+SIP Calling.
+Volume rocker sound for increases/decreases in volume has changed.
+When receiving a call, the answer slider is colored red across the top (swipe up to decline) and green across the bottom (swipe down to answer). Although this functionality has been there, the color indicators are new.
Reported Issues
+Profile Widget removed from screen and needs to be added again.
+Shoot Me no longer works after upgrade.
+Netflix has issues loading. Market says it is only compatible with 2.2 for EVO. Netflix is aware of this and working on a fix.
+Rogue Voicemail notifications being displayed. To fix this go to Settings > Call > Clear Voicemail Notification. They may come back after restarting the phone and may periodically pop up throughout the day. I myself was getting them a lot the day I upgraded and after a few days they seemed to have stopped.
+Battery Use shows Display using 70% or more of the battery. This is not a bug. It is basically saying that of the battery that is being used 70% of that is being used by the display, not that 70% of the total battery is being consumed by the display.
+When you turn off the phone with quick boot, the background zooms out and displays all home pages before shutting off.
+When you turn phone back on the screen comes back on and animation happens then goes to dull brightness instantly. You have to turn the screen off and on again to get it to go back to regular screen brightness. Happens with both Sense and Launcher Pro UI's.
+Pandora app will either play one song and then nothing or there will be a long pause (roughly 10 to 20 seconds) before another starts.
+AIM won't log in. Try reinstalling the app to resolve the issue.
+Any saved Alarms you had were deleted during the upgrade and will need to be reset.
+Compass functionality not working properly. This has been brought to the attention of Google Dev.
+Speech to Text not working properly.
+Wireless N no longer supported.
+Some have reported issues with 4G not connecting.
+Sense restarting after exiting some apps. I notice it every time I exit out of playing Plants vs. Zombies.
