A few posts back, someone posted a specific score on Linpack (1150 or so). All I see are the bars in the chart. how do you get an exact number??

>> DOH! OK. It's been a long day. The number is dead center on the bar. Never mind. Move along. Nothing to see here folks.

"Chrome to Phone" is a miracle (I'm using the Firefox add on).

Totally agree! Amazing!!!!!!

Not sure if this is a question.. but I thought I'd answer anyway. Yes it is working!

Froyo fixed the sound in JewelLust! Used to turn off, but now it continues.

OMG I'm downloading it now. Waited until I got home (and on my WiFi) it'll only take a few mins to download (45% in about a minute)

Will edit with results after update.

Installing OTA_Supersonic_3.26.651.6 !

Back up

Do you have to back up your contacts and pictures before you update or will they still be there after u do the update???

No official update for this who installed the leaked version. Htc stated they will have something for us in the coming days.

Nervously updating in STL (don't want to screw anything up!)

I got my update a few hours ago. I manually did an update check and got a message that 2.2 was ready. From download to using my phone again was about 15 minutes. Went smooth. So far the only issue I had was Swype not work. Fixed that with an uninstall and a reinstall.

Where did you reinstall Swype from?? :-o

Whatever you do, DO NOT POWER CYCLE YOUR PHONE! Let it do its thing.

What do you mean?
Can I push the button on the top just so I can see what is going on?
Ugh...I am such a clueless dork!

I've been getting great 4G speeds while tethering with 2.2. I would recommend a restart about 20 minutes after the update looks like it completes. (I think there are several background things happening after the update completes)

Yup, did a hard reset and 4G speeds are back to what I was experiencing before. Also, I failed to mention right after the update I went to the android market and noticed that all my downloaded apps weren't appearing. Reseting the phone solved that as well. So far, everything seems to be running smoother, faster, and more crisp.

I have mobile wi-fi hotspot (purchased) and nothing has been affected. Pretty glad that ota update went smooth. Also overall reboot time seems quicker.

Will try the chrome to phone as well since never heard of it. Any other recommendations to optimize phone welcome!!

Photo and Contacts

Can someone please just let me know do you have to save your contacts or photos before updating to froyo?

 

[djlee0314]

One more thing....to all the Swype fans, I was a big fan as well but after swiftkey, I don't think I can go back. Heavy Enterprise user and saves me so much time on emails and texts!! Give it a shot, can't hurt cuz it's free!

No you don't have to.

No, I just finished the update and ALL my contacts, mail accounts, mail, and settings (that I've looked at in the last 4 minutes) seem intact and fine.

The one thing I'm seeing broken right off is Swype. :-( Where do I get a new download of that?!
