I got the update this morning and downloaded it. I'm not rooted. Haven't had a chance to fully check the changes out yet but I did notice that the music player seems to not be skipping at all, and it will now just pause the music temporarilly if Voice directions are coming through, or you are making a call, or using voice search, but then the music automatically returns once you are done. I'm psyched they fixed this as it was my biggest complaint with the Froyo update.

Thanks for this bit of good news. Were you also having issues pausing music with the media player, and if so, has that been resolved?

np, the only issues I was having with music pausing were the ones I said with regards to the music not coming back on automatically when using the navigation or voice search, or making calls, but now those issues are resolved. Other than that I never had any other issues with my music player.

I am curious to see if they fixed the bit of lag in the landscape back to portrait rotation of the screen since the froyo update but will need to really play around with my phone for a while to see if that was fixed since it's kind of subtle.

Im still waiting for the update. Is the music player holding the tag information? Like artist, track name etc. Currently its random, some songs will have the information some wont. Thank you in advance.

I never had any issues with the tag info before the update, but it seems fine now as well.

If you are talking about mp3s, I would guess the tags are not embedded into the song files. That is why some of the tracks don't have associated id3 tag data (artist, album, title, track, genre, etc.)

I have a few thousand mp3s synced on my Incredible and don't have any problems. If you use iTunes, you can embed the id3 data into the track itself. I wrote a tutorial here: MikeDePaul.com : How To: Embed iTunes Album Art Into Your MP3

The frustrating thing is, I never had this problem with android 2.1. As soon as Android 2.2 hit the scene I havent been able to basically use my music player fully.

When will this be sent to my phone. I go to system updates and there is no way for me to check for updates. It just says my system is up to date

When they get to you. Sorry -- that's the best anybody can do for you. There is nothing you can do to speed it up -- we went down that road with the Froyo update, and none of the "tricks" people used did any good at all.

It's a small update -- they'll likely to get everyone by the end of next week.

Had the update pushed to me this morning. Beyond the fact that I now have two more worthless apps on my phone (VZ Apps and Slacker Radio) I see no improvement. Every issue I had with Froyo still exists.

So, my advice to you, don't get too excited about the update. It's not really anything but more bloatware.
