Day 1 of Froyo 2.2 - Yay or Nay

I'd be interested to know as well. Mine has been fine although I haven't used it a whole lot. Just browsed some news sites earlier for a few minutes. That's about it though.

A couple that froze for me are autocareradio.com, knowyourcell.com. I did a factory reset and now the problem is gone.

Downloaded 2.2 last night and it went much easier and smoother than I thought possible. I imediately noticed an increase in speed in my apps as well as in my browsing. No problems yet. This thing just keep on getting better and better.

Whereas in a previous factory reset where it took several hours to get everything back in place, this time I was very pleasantly surprised to find everything just as I'd left it.

Good job Google.

The only complaints I have seen is from hackers or people who installed the .3 (not full release that HTC put out). People with the .6, just user issues, like how do I do this or that.

Well, I installed the official last night, and I still have issues. See a short list here:
1. The dock launcher is the same to Android 2.1. In the demo video the launcher is similar to AWD one.
2. The gallery app has not changed a bit. The gallery app demoed in various Froyo videos looks very different.
3. The "Car Home" app or widget is not there either.
4. The browser..oh the browser. Websites that worked before not working properly anymore. Or website that currently work on Dolphin browser do not work in native Froyo.
I went through a couple of soft and hard reboot procedures but no change.

I could just be crazy, but the htc clock widget I use now doesn't center the time. I know it is just me being anal but it kind of drives me nuts.

Yay.

WOW!! I updated yesterday and everything went smooth as silk!

I just went to the Market and there is now an update all button!! That alone makes it worth updating for!

I hated when I had a lot of updates, sitting there telling each program to update, "yes it is okay to access everything in the world because if I don't allow you to you won't work anyway so why bother asking, it is not like I can say yes or no on each type of access..."

I am having some SD issues but I don't think that is a 2.2 issue. I think I need to format my card and re-install. I do notice that my SD card takes a long time to mount as a USB drive though. Again unsure if it is the card.

Moving apps to the SD card is also great!

For those of you saying I ONLY GET 4 HOURS OF BATTERY LIFE. What the bell are you doing with your phones? I ALWAYS get 12 hours MINIMUM with heavy BUSINESS use including phone callable, texts, web use, WiFi, 4g and so forth. You kiddie can't play games for 4 hours and expect food battery life....its that simple. Quit whining.

Battery life is a bit worse. Bluetooth is still not what it needs to be. Alarm pop-up dismissal screen does not always pop-up and that means shutting the device down in order to dismiss the alarm. Those are my complaints, but that was the unofficial update.

I don't have any of those problems with the .3 update.
