You your screen now turns in every direction but upside down after 2.2? Maybe I'm slow but I'm just now realizing this...

What do you mean, like in messages or the home screen? Mine always does that, but not on the home screen..

honestly, i wish it didn't i have auto rotate turned off now. it wasn't that bad when you could only turn it one way (the way ive been turning it for a horizontal screen for years) and the fact that it wouldn't rotate the other way was a plus for me cause if i wanted to lay on my side and use my phone, i just laid on the side it wouldn't rotate

Prior to 2.2 my phone only turned on way. Now I can turn It both left and right, but not upside down

It's an added function for our 2.2. It's on the official release notes.

for the people with browser lag...what browser are you using?
before and after the froyo update i've been having lag with dolphin hd. I did a lil googling and found that dolphin has been getting slower after the last few updates they have done.
i've gone back to the stock browser for now, and it seems to be much faster than dolphin, but i hate not having tabs

Is anyone else who used the RUU having the phone get locked in landscape? If I have auto rotate on when I open maildroid, tweetcaster, even stock browser everything is landscape. Hit home and sense goes back to normal, open app back to landscape.
Edit.. Fixed needed to recalibrate for whatever reason

Also, hasn't been mentioned yet...
New dialpad, new callerID screen, on/off HTC widgets look much better, off by an hour on calender w/exchange sync fixed, and this one will probably require a software update(but not that it is a problem): if your exchange server requires security policy(remote wipe, password lock, etc...), your phone doesen't actually password lock until the 3,5,10 minute auto lock is enabled, meaning you can manually lock the screen(power button) and then just slide to unlock w/o password. Actually, now that I think more, that's a good thing in case you accidentally lock phone, it is faster to get back in. Also, if you chose a numeric passcode, it automatically puts numbers up(dial pad) rather than having to click through the smaller qwerty keyboard.

First thing I noticed! kind of on accident. You can go into landscape whether you rotate it clockwise or counter clockwise.
I've already trained myself to do it the one way though so the change isn't a big deal, but its there.

-"Settings" menu is now divided into more categories
-Added ability to have an unlock pattern or password (like Moto Droids). Unlock screen shows exact battery percentage
-Gmail UI is updated
-If you click on the HTC clock, it will take you to the "Desk Clock" app, which now lists exact battery %
-Speed is greatly increased. Especially noticed with live wallpapers (they added 1 live wallpaper; the nexus one wallpaper). Sense is snappier than ever. I can fly through my seven screens now with the optical button, even with a live wallpaper.
-Emulators running much better. After the update, the sound issues I had with Final Fantasy 7 seem to be mostly gone. Speed is now "perfect" instead of "near perfect"SNES, NES, and GBA running my games "perfectly"
-Still unknown, but it seems like my battery is taking longer to charge. I'm wondering if this means they fixed the "bump charging" and that it is giving me a full charge straight up.
-Flash 10.1, Skype, Flashlight, and a small slew of verizon bloatware has been added
-New startup (with the "Droid" video/sound)
Haven't really noticed much difference with the keyboard yet, but will let you guys know if I see anything. Will post other changes as I notice them.
my gf got 2.2 early saturday morning, and after viewing your stats on the exact battery percentage on the unlock screen and on the desk clock, i checked it out on her phone. i did not see it list exact battery percentage.

For those with the Froyo update, did it fix the battery charge issue? Will I be able to charge my phone normally without having to turn it off?

Nope, the charging issue is still there.

Nothing to fix. It is a Lithium-Ion battery, this is normal.
Your signal will change by more than 4 by blinking. Typical variance is around + or - 5, and other factors such as the way you hold it can change it by 10. So, statistically, you have seen no change at all.
What they DID change was the indicator. Now you will see all 4 bars with a lot lower signal.(When I say lower, keep in mind the number is a negative. So -90 is lower than -80 ) IE: Before a -85 listed 2 maybe 3 bars, now it lists 4. The break even seems to be about -95 showing 2 on 2.1 and 2 on 2.2

Doesn't seem possible on this already fast phone but it's noticeably faster at everything. Stock browser browsing is faster on both wifi and 3g. Dolphin has some type of small lag issue. Signal dB is minimally better for me, but still better. The 4 bottom LED's are much more responsive in different lighting conditions and more accurate I love this! The optical track pad is excellent now! The auto updating in market. Flashlight rules. I've always liked this phone a lot, and froyo has made it that much better thanks Google!

not sure exactly what home screen you're talking about , but our version of froyo is designed 4 our incredibles with htc sense ui. It will not be the vanilla version they receive.
