Don't uninstall the update. A day later, my display battery utilization is down in the 40% range. I promise you it will go down. Don't know why it was so high yesterday after the update but that didn't affect the actual battery life. Battery lasted all day and still had 50% around midnight (extended battery).

Hello Android Central!!
It's been a while since I posted on this forum, but it's unfortunate that the first post back involves an error about the EVO; well the gingerbread update. As I updated my phone this past Friday with a manual update, I got a few bugs on my phone. Here is a list of what happened:
- Music app could not recognize the correct album art with the right artist
- Text messages were separate from one another, eg. all my text replies in each thread were grouped together and the recipients was group together. The messages were grouped separately. So when reading the messages, I would have to scroll up and down to see what I asked a friend and see what their response was.
- Every time I hit the home key, I would get the green htc logo and it would restart my phone
- phone was much slower than before. The scrolling animation was very choppy when switching from home screen to home screen.
- notification ringer sounds off randomly
Some of these bugs didn't bother me as much, but the re-starting and slowing down needed to be fixed. So I took my phone to best buy since I have the black tie insurance. The rep was very polite and asked me if I minded that they just give me a replacement EVO. I said "sure." That was pretty cool. I got me a new EVO !!! Just to let everyone know the EVO's still come with 2.2 out the box (damn!!) so I had to download 2.3 again. But now it looks like ginger bread is working much better than Friday so I'm happy. I hope everyone is working fine.
Just thought I'd share you this story. Peace!

I just noticed this. It doesn't affect me on the WiFi networks I access regularly (home, work, Fast food restaurants, etc.), but since they're looking at giving us 2.3.4 on the 9th, isn't N available on 2.3.4, Can someone confirm?
So many people are reporting LED notifications not working after the update for SMS. Is working fine for me. I use Go SMS Pro. I had to go into the settings and enable it again, but once I did ours works like a charm.
Is this only a problem affecting Handcent? And if so did anyone think yup check the settings to make sure it wad still enabled? (I know dumb question, but I don't know why Go SMS Pro reset that setting either.)

Another small (positive) change I've noticed: When you are in the messages app and another text comes in from the person you are viewing, the alert sounds. Before the update I would often miss a text because I left the messaging screen on when the phone locked. Only after unlocking the screen did I see that another message came in.

Thank you for confirming this. I that I was hearing things when I heard a second alert with the same text session open.
I have a Nexus S running Gingerbread and Netflix works just fine so I don't understand your argument about the app not being optimized for Gingerbread.
My phone is doing the same thing. Close to 80% after the update and down to 11 % now. I think it's a self correcting thing and if you just leave it alone it will er, self correct...
Everytime I go to my people app (contacts), it force closes. Can't open it period and its aggravating. Help please?
I'm having problems accessing webpages, apps that require internet access and android market while on 4g. Anyone experiencing similar issues?

no 4G?
i only came across the update/upgrade bc i wasnt able to get 4G, and even w the update, i still cant get it. I've only seen one person report this here, anyone else? My batt life has changed DRASTICALLY, for the worse. I unplugged at 100% at noon, after charging all night, needed to recharged at 3pm and again at 6, and now it's completely dead. Before, the batt would get me to 9-10pm before needing to recharge.

Repeating mistakes made by other carriers was not going to be acceptable by the EVO community. This update addresses some of the pressing concerns by the EVO community. Once we are satisfied no major issues are associated with current upgrade we will proceed with 2.3.4 If no major issues other than Netflix you can expect June 9th 2.3.4 OTA update.
2.3.4 will include:
1) Landscape for home screen
2) Gingerbread keyboard option
3) Further performance improvements
4) Video chat (Google)
5) Sense UI update
Like EVO 3D we are listening to what the expectations are from the community.
BSOD
P.S. Netflix will be updated and streaming ASAP as this issue is being resolved. Expect an update with in 24hrs at the latest Monday June 6th.
