Got the 2.11.605.5 OTA. Here's what's NOT fixed:

**hannsoft** · 10-26-2011, 12:27 PM

For me, two things.

- Notification bar ghosting when using some 3rd party skins (not present in Froyo)

- Sound volume significantly lower

(I tellya, I'd go back to Froyo in a heartbeat if it were available to a non-root.There's just been NO benefit to Gingerbread for me at all).

**ji001** · 10-26-2011, 12:46 PM

volume is fine on mines

**zog1977** · 10-26-2011, 12:55 PM

works great for me!

maybe you need a q-tip?

I would say that those 3rd party skin is the problem. I had similar issues with some Froyo 2.1 skins.

it puts the lotion on the skin.......

hannsoft, have you tried doing a factory reset? I did one last weekend because of some general instability with the original GB OTA, and now sounds seem quite a bit louder. Granted, doing a factory reset is kind of a PITA because of all the reconfiguring you have to do to get your phone back to the way you like it, but it really seemed to help, and, as a bonus, my battery life, which I think was already good under GB, now seems even better.

LOL! I wish there were only it!

It's like a fade-in effect on mine. Every text notification starts in with a fade-in. Some tones are so short they never get to full volume. If I get several texts in in short order I do see the volume fix itself after a while, but never consistently as a "first time"

**K_Daddy** · 10-26-2011, 01:04 PM

some people are just gonna have problems, if you look hard enough.

Notification bar ghosting is from the 3rd party skin and not the ota.

Very true. I looked long and hard for these. Really felt left out not having any with the previous version.

Thanks, Al. That's not an entirely bad idea, especially if at least one person (you) saw some benefit. Certainly can't hurt, right? Just need to set aside the time to put everything back together. And as I recall it, Google does automatically re-download and install all apps .... Hmm. I may very well do just that. Thanks - I'll let you know how that goes.

Yep.. but I've been lookin & lookin and can't find nothin to whine about.

Voice mail notification works fine. Battery, when compared to it's original performance, is almost spectacular. All audio aspects and displays are as expected.

I'm pretty happy!

**ksb63** · 10-26-2011, 01:23 PM

Volume is still bad after reset for notifications. Voicemail ain't enter full code from icon just *86 doesn't recognize digits after pause are there unless it is in notification bar. Battery is no better and in some ways worse (could have been network
as it has been e lately).
Volume issue is on 2 bolts

Another I've noticed but don't think I've seen anybody report: Occasionally, when I open the app list and hit the icon for "frequent" (or Favorites) - nothing happens. My list stays as "All apps". This doesn't ALWAYS happen - I can't duplicate at will, and I can't figure out what any two occurrences of it have in common. Often times Sense will crash after I hit that star (with no effect) a number of times.

Come to think of it .. that's another issue, and another I can't duplicate consistently - Sense crashes. I was thinking that they were tied to the use of 3rd party skins, because often times I'll get a Sense crash when being notified that an app update download from the market has ended. But it's usually when I'm using a 3rd party skin, which is about half the time - but it happens other times as well.

Misery loves company, but hopefully we'll both get it solved. Thanks ksb

Ringtone bug still here.

But no ghosting was present on the same skins, from the same author(s), on the Froyo versions ...

**knowaczark** · 10-26-2011, 01:39 PM

My frequent displays....no issues found yet today. Still early!

**Mustanggirl05** · 10-26-2011, 01:42 PM

The desktop/bedside clock is still broke from the first GB update...

**xsfspd** · 10-26-2011, 02:10 PM

Can someone help me ... I was half a sleep and fat fingered the update and said "reject" now it just tells me there is no update. I am on the original GB update and would at least like to know when I have voice mail. Other than a phone wipe how do I get it to un "reject" the update?

What about the car dock? Anybody try that yet?

Well, in my case, the Market autodownloaded some of my apps but not nearly all of them. And I can't explain why some came down and others didn't. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it.

But, on the upside, it gave me the chance to think about what apps I wanted back on the phone and what stuff I really didn't use.

As for your skin issue, I've heard of GB breaking some Froyo skins. I can't recall the details, but I definitely read that somewhere.

It actually breaks all of the non-stock skins - at least in my experience. But the good news is that almost all of them are available for GB by the developer over at XDA (whose name now escapes me, forgive me!). I have back all that I need, but the it's on those GB-compatible versions that the ghosting suddenly appears.

Add this...

The pause dialing to add your PIN to the *86 for Voice Messaging does not work.

Spent a bit of time on the phone with Tier 2 at Verizon, who in turn called HTC.

According to HTC, this is a known problem and they are not sure when they are going to fix it.

Nothing like going backwards in features and functionality.

Simply AMAZING!!!

But - it looks as if the pause does work on other speed dial programs - or at least it seems to here ...
