Anybody happy with Gingerbread yet?

[cruzenbye]

I am not and have not been happy with Gingerbread. (hence, I'm now new to this forum, in looking for help with the problems I have).

Prior to GB release, I could get 10+hrs out of my stock battery and 2 days off my extended battery and the phone was on 24/7 (with nightly charging) and never problems with freezing, locking or losing data/wifi connections.

Since GB release, I'm down to less than 12hrs on my extended battery with no change in usage and I'm always going in to make sure background data is turned back off and make sure my battery tweaks are still in place.

Also, since the GB update, frequently when i'm trying to browse internet, check email or FB, I find that the phone has no data connection, requiring me to turn off wifi and mobile then turn back on before it reconnects to data.

Another issue is, frequently when I exit an app to go back to the home screen, I get the white "HTC" screen then the hourglass "refreshing" page for upwards of 30-60 seconds while it refreshes the home screen.

I don't have many apps loaded and nothing new installed other than GB. I just installed the new GB update today and so far it hasn't helped any of these issues.

I'd like to go back to the previous OS. It was stable and good for me.

I hate it with a capital H and I wish I never converted. Even more annoyed that I can't switch back.
I turn my phone off every night (don't ask, I just do). My wife also has an Evo and she is still on Froyo.
Her phone (and mine pre GB) would start up in under 2 minutes. Mine now takes close to 10.
I went to the sprint store and they said I would have to reset the entire phone to "possibly fix it"
I refuse to go through that hassle.

I'm made as hell.

I would either stick to froyo or root. I rooted my evo literally a week before the gingerbread update and I haven't looked back since. I know a lot of people with issues with battery life, gps, and signal strength since since the update and though I'm currently having a problem with gps, I can easily fix that by flashing another rom.

In short, if you want to stay stock and have stability, don't upgrade. If you really want Gingerbread, root and find a nice stable rom.

I like gingerbread until i rooted. I just rooted for the first time last night and so far im not looking back. i really did not like gingerbread. the sense reboot after exiting every app and the battery drain was really buggin me. Im glad i rooted.
