[AudioNut]

Has anybody powered the phone down and then back on again?
Mine boots in literally 3 seconds now..??

cool I guess

Yes It looks like Gingerbread killed 802.11n Could not connect to home router which is set to 802.11n only.
Reset the router to mixed 802.11g and n and it connected.

Just updated!! My main problem I guess with Android is why not update to 2.3.4 so we can have video chat??? Always seems like non nexus users will always have old software smh.

EVO Shift?

I have the EVO Shift and I don't see the GB update available in the HTC Software update area. Has anyone else with the Shift updated? I hope it's just coming in a little while!

SoundCloud app has the same problem as Pandora except there is no 10-20 sec wait, just stops after one song.

Evo shift is a different phone so no update. Although you got a leaked update for root users not long ago similar to rooted OG Evo users. Sit tight

~ The lock screen when using the pattern lock seems smaller and more cramped?

Ok, the no LED for text messages is my main issue, I hope this gets fixed soon! LED's for voicemail and email work great. Microphone to speak text on new keyboard not working yet in the handcent app microphone works. I'm assuming it's a new keybord clitch. Also, thanks to the ones who found the alarm glitch! I'd of been later tomorrow if not for you <applause> Oh, and the Facebook app had smaller fonts, hard to read. Am I missing something to make font larger?

Mine does the same thing.

Wireless-N Wi-Fi no longer seems to work. Only Wireless-G.

Just a thought but couldn't the battery life display saying it's a high% be solely due to the fact that we're playing with the phone alot more today. Mines at 78% but I've been playing almost non stop since 11:30 am. Maybe not so much a bug?

I was asleep for about 4hrs with my screen off but I'm getting a reading of 68% on the display in the battery usage section. I believe that's just a glitch in how usage is being tallied and/or reported because I only dropped about 4 notches in 4hrs. I was at 61% when I went to sleep and 57% when I woke up.

I also noticed that launcher pro is not working properly since the update. In launcher pro, I had the home key set to take me back to my 1st screen when I pressed it. Now when I press home it kicks me out of launcher pro and back to sense.

Another issue I have now is that when I press home while in sense I no longer get shown that little sub menu that asks do u want to use sense or launcher pro and gives me the option to make one my default launcher. I can't even open launcher pro from the market now, I had to download an app called home switcher and open it from through that.

Telenav had nothing to do with Gingerbread, mine changed weeks ago.

In Google Maps, there's an option to "CLEAR MAP".

That is why it shows the restart button

Don't see the HTTP proxy port and address anymore...the settings that caused the music streaming issue. Wonder why they took access to these away? Streaming audio working just fine however.

+Any saved Alarms you had were deleted during the upgrade and will need to be reset.

Wow! thanks for the heads up on that. I would have been screwed come Sunday night.
