[Official] Gingerbread Update - Bugs, New Apps, etc.

Not fully true. You can switch scenes to a preloaded one then back to your custom/preferred scene and it will refresh the icons.

Rebooting the phone (restart) will cause the icons to go back to the defaults again. So wash, rinse repeat until an update is made to fix the issue.

YES. Worked for me with several tests. Just go to any htc scene and then back to your own scene and icons restored. Thanks
 
Factory Reset erases all data, correct? I've never done that. And I don't have Titanium or MyBackup.
Whats the best way to reload all my apps once I do a factory reset??

titanium or mybackup, mybackup if you don't have root. heck i like mybackup even with root.
 
Those of you saying that these problems people are having are of their own doing could stand to shut your yaps a bit. Did it ever dawn on your gigantic egos that with the millions of possible configurations with the EVO, the update may have affected everyones device a bit different? There are 2 of us with EVO's in my shop, both stock, non-rooted EVO's. Only thing I've noticed with mine is my compass is dead. The other guys kept getting the ghost voice mails. That right there tells me that it effected EVO's differently. So, just because YOU didn't have problems doesn't mean it went flawless for everyone. Oh, and yes, I did a hard reset last night, and my compass is still tango uniform.
 
minor issue i had that isn't listed. i disabled gps once...and after enabling it again, the crosshair icon w/ the line across it would not go away. i tried resetting the phone, removing the battery, and turning gps off and on. finally got it to go away by going to settings>location>location settings and turning this off and on again.

another minor issue is that upgrading to gingerbread turned off my alarms. took me a couple of days of waking up late to notice this lol.

this issue is already listed but sense resets for me quite often. happens almost every time i exit ANY app...particularly browsers (stock, miren, opera, dolphin, & skyfire). it's VERY irritating.

edit: my evo is stock/unrooted.
 
OK. WTH! I open a browser. When I exit, Sense seems to be rebooting and redrawing everything on the home screen. I open a video player, when I exit, same thing.

I missed a phone call because when it rang and exited the player, the little rectangle in the center of the screen had the "focus" and I couldn't click to answer the phone!

Am I the only one with this issue? I skimmed through this thread and can't find a single mention of this (unless I went blind momentarily and missed it.)

Nope, you are not. Haven't seem any info regarding a fix either.
 
Voicemail pop-up fix is easy.. Go into settings, Call, then clear voicemail notification.

This is just a temp "band-aid" type fix and the notification will come back up. I thought mine was gone for good cause two days went by without seeing it and now I am getting it every 30 mins or so. I really do not want to hard reset the phone and reinstall all my apps again just to fix this. Updating your Profile doesn't seem to work either. I am going to call support on that as well as the Sense reload issue later tonight and see what I can dig up and report back.

I did a hard reset last night, and it did not cure the ghost vm notification, just so you know.
 
Dolphin HD

Is anyone else having the issue with their dolphin broswer being set as default? I keep setting it as my default browser and it works a few times. However, it quickly starts asking me again when i click on links to chose from stock or dolphin hd. I go in settings and updated it and also select it when i click on links. Any ideas why this is happening? I am not clearing all my cache, etc. I do have it clean up cookies, etc. when I exit out of the browser. However, I dont think that should be the issue. Thoughts?
 
so even after a second hard reset i'm still getting the sense reloading issue. that one HAS to be the worst bug of the bunch and apparently sprint is oblivious to it or doesn't seem to think it belongs in the list of fixes needing to go out.
 
Home Launcher ReLoads

I have seen some reporting these reloads with Sense, well I just wanted to inform everyone that it is not just Sense, I was using Launcher Pro and everytime I would go back to home it would reload everything on all my screens and I just couldn't take it anymore, so I started using Go Launcher EX and now am experiencing the same thing, but with Go Launcher they reload faster so I will stick with it for now. I continuously check the available RAM and it seems to stay around 60-80mb free so everytime I go into a higher memory app or leave phone off for a while and come back the home screens reload. There has to be a memory leak with this Gingerbread update cause I never had this problem before and my free memory would always be up to like 100mb plus free of Ram. So either Gingerbread requires more RAM to be used or there is a leak, or maybe even Gingerbread is not meant for the Evo 4G because their is not enough RAM to handle it. This all makes me can't wait for the Evo 3D even more now!!! Anyway anyone with help or insight into this would be appreciated.
 
The green color showing calendar items in month view is harder to see now in 2.3. It is darker and blends with the dark gray too much now.

Agree?
 
The new cut paste in HandCent is slick and faster than before. No issues after my update today to 2.3.
 
Screen Fade/Animation?? NOT working Anyone???

I know some others have responded, is there a fix?
 
Yanks4life - I Run Zeam and bounce between Sense and LauncherPro as well and every last launcher has to restart itself when going back to home after a little while.
 
My phone just randomly reset while in my pocket. First time I've had that happen, ever. Not impressed.

Im having the exact same issue. I wondering if I could file an insurance claim and get newer EVO.

You could but, after the $100 detectable you'll be getting a refurbished EVO... Not a new one. I asked Assurion why and they said it was just protocol. My son got 2 Epics, first one was a refurbished one (replacing a stolen brand new Epic mind you) it was full of problems. I called back and asked nicely if they could send a new one since we had a police report and they did so. Lucky for me they had one. So in a nutshell, no you wouldn't get a newer phone.
 
As of right now, if your phone needs to be replaced. Sprint is out of refurbished phones and is giving NEW phones instead. This can last 1 hour or 2 days....who knows.

This is not exactly true, it is solely dependant upon available stock Assurion has of any given phone. I actually had to replace my Evo two weeks ago and got a brand new one. You can check whether or not you got a New or Refurbished phone by opening the dialer and typing ##786# then scrolling down.
