What have you found in froyo?

[scoobdude]

i don't know if this has been mentioned yet (i checked the first post and i don't know if it's a complete list that's being added to as people reply) but there's now an option to have audio when you lock and unlock the phone.
(actually, i'm not sure if this is new with froyo or if i've just never noticed before.)
also, i've noticed that my ringtones and notifications are divided by ones that came with the phone and ones that i downloaded. before it was in alphabetical order.

can you please explain the volume on lock thing a little bit better please? I will update the first post shortly.

Also i added the *2 -> sprint zone info plus a few more i found mentioned in the last 10 pages. Not sure if this is new as well, but my conversation in gtalk whether on the computer or on phone seems to update on my phone (meaning what i typed on my computer in gtalk shows up on my phone). Is that new?

Please let me know if i missed anything.

oh sorry.
under sound settings, there's an option for "screen lock sounds."
when the lock/power switch on top is pressed, it'll make a noise to notify the user that the phone is locked.
when the lock/power switch on top is pressed and the user swipes the screen to unlock, it'll make a noise.
when the screen dims and locks on its own, it will also make a noise.

i didnt check all 27 pages, but i know i cant be the first to discover that froyo enables 802.11n. Or wireless N connection..

How do you know that 802.11n is enabled?

Phone "Personalize" settings.
Say you've spent A LONG TIME customizing this....DON'T explore the Personalize setting and hit one of the themes. I did so by accident but QUICKLY hit CANCEL. However, it DID NOT CANCEL and still changed to the them losing all my customization!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It gave an option to save current settings or cancel. I DID cancel.

Be forewarned should you be exploring 2.2 and do this. I don't know if it would have happened in 2.1 that way, but this matters for now.

Oh...the horror...
I've learned ONE thing in this..you can at least save your settings whatever they may be through the same menu.

All you have to do is save to a custom profile and you're fine. If you go days or weeks adjusting things without ever saving, you will lose the customizations if you select another theme. 2.1 was the same way.

I guess you could say a "Would you like to save your current changes?" popup is missing. Otherwise it's pretty much your own fault for changing things without saving...

I only read the first post so I apologize if this has been covered already.

Regarding this:

ree Apps not showing up in download history. solution is a hard reset or update a current app

This happened to me and I figured out a better/easier solution. Just go to manage applications and find market. Clear the data for market and the re-open the app and all of your downloaded apps will appear again.

I use the "Phone" style keyboard and before the update there was a "?" and "!" on the right, conveniently.

Now the main buttons are larger and these two are no longer there. I have to hit the "numbers" key and scroll down to find them...

really annoying!
