Things Improved/Changed with GB

[eyesweller]

Twitter for HTC Sense was updated, giving you a preview screen of the webpage or picture when you touch the tweet. I like this feature as I am just a lurker on Twitter and don't post.

My desk clock is all wiggy. If I press the nighttime option, it just dims the screen. When I press the computer icon, it gives me the big alarm clock looking thing that moves around the screen, but it doesn't dim. Anyone have any advice on this?

Try disabling widget locker and re-enabling OR disable security and then re-enable.

No luck, maybe this is something that widget locker will have to make an update for.

I've noticed improved battery life. Haven't done anything different and battery lasted much longer today than usual.

Did anyone mention the "Dots" option when taking a pic?

Before I could click on the clock widget and be able to access my alarm clock, stopwatch, timer, etc... Now it doesn't work so I cannot set any alarms... Is it gone or how do you get to it now???

I saw something about a "desktop dock app" in the update pdf file. Did anyone figure out what this is or how to use it?

Type the word "Dock" in Google Search and it will show the app. Then select it.

How long does it take the web page to show up. I also use HTC peep and that was one feature.they were lacking

Does the compass work right with Gingerbread update?

I noticed I'm having the same problem, my alarm worked yesterday morning, but this morning nothing, and gentle alarm fc'd. Not a great thing.

Did you purchase gentle alarm or get it from Amazon when it was the free app of the day? I had to sign into the Amazon market after updating again to get any of those apps to work.

Well i spent 2 + hours last night resseting my phone... not al bad I changed the way my phone was set up and got rid off some apps and things I didn't use.I use Go launcher pro and Go SMS also swiftkey . I noticed phone is faster. I lost all my contacts so I had to do a reset. Over all I'm Happy.

I don't find that it takes an unreasonable amount of time to load the picture or webpage. I would say on average 10 seconds, but I am usually on my DSL line at home....ack! YMMV

OK I just realized I can't tap my flip clock anymore either. I can still tap the weather in that same widget and get a result, just not the clock part. So now I don't know how to access my wake up alarm or timer or stopwatch or any of that stuff. Seems like I ought to be able to find it somewhere given that the clock is just a widget. Surely that stuff lives somewhere else, right?

I've noticed that when getting Facebook notifications, messages in this case so far, that when I go to them in the notification pane, and select the message, it opens nothing and the notification disappears. Anyone else's do this?

I had to do a factory reset after the GB update to get the clock app to work correctly. I now can open it via tapping the clock widget or add it to my 3D clock widget that I use instead because the temp is always wrong with the HTC widget. Everything seems to work better after a factory reset after the update. Just a pain to have to wait for everything to reset. So, do a reset if still not working for you.

I would try a battery pull first. I have not done a factory reset and my clock/weather widget works fine. Tapping the clock gets me to the alarm. I did a battery pull right after the GB install was done.

I had that before GB. I believe it has always been that way. It only takes you to the app if it's anything OTHER than a message. So if you got a notification saying you had "2 messages", you clicked on the notification, it would just close it. You had to actually open up the FB app itself to get to the messages.

I'm pretty sure GB didn't change anything that way. Unless you have it set up in the settings of the FB app. Maybe you just need to enable that notification within FB app itself.
