What have you found in froyo?

[NicksGarage]

I don't know if this is new but I never noticed it before.

Multi-touch scrolling.

On screens that have a long list of items with a scroll bar, such as the people list or in the music player, I can use two fingers on the screen to scroll it faster. It shows the letter at the top like you get when you scroll with the scroll bar. This is handy for my since the case I have makes it hard to move the scroll bar in these instances.

Anyone know any good flash sites I can test the gaming on?

Same size as the wifi etc widgets but has the sync symbol on it.

Also looks like there are a few extra ones under more from HTC at the top:
coin flip (with android coin), DICE, notes, profile (new and installed), ringtone (new and installed) tip calculator and today in history. I know soem were in thre already, can anyone confirm which ones are new?

Those were all already there. Just had to hit "more HTC widgets". I haven't upgraded yet and I have all of the above.

"Navigator" has been changed to "Car Panel". The app will not let you exit with the normal Home or Back buttons; you need to select Menu and Exit, probably so you don't accidentally quit.

Woah good find. I'm not sure if it's new either though.

The multi-touch seems to be relative to the screen position. When in the People app you tap two fingers towards the top of the screen it takes you to the beginning of the alphabet. If you tap towards the bottom, towards the end of the alphabet. ...and anywhere in between.

Not new, I haven't nabbed 2.2 yet, just reading through to see the new features. My 2.1 does this, but I never knew about it. I have a long contact list so this is a GREAT trick! Thanks.

Sprint desable the tethering option that came with 2.2?

I'm wondering if we will be able to play the Flash-based games on
Facebook (e.g. Cafe World, Bejeweled, Hotel City)! So if anyone can test that out, that would be great!

Thanks for checking it out in 2.1. Just goes to show how much there is to discover about Android. And the extra tip about starting at the top or the bottom is cool too.

I do have something new to add to the list though. Animated Gifs work in the browser now.

Front facing camera now has a setting to turn off mirror mode. Unfortunately in portrait, your picture is upside down.

Memory management seems substantially better. I see about 20-30 mb more available on average.

Does anyone know if voice dialing for bluetooth works yet?

 

[rotoreuter48]

By official, they mean what Sprint has announced on their support forums as being the release build, however HTC said it wouldn't be, so there is contradicting info.

I have email issues too, I went into sync settings and clicked sync all and it seems to have fixed it. I haven't checked it with the mail on the web to see if it's actually pushing, but mail started showing up again.
