just did the update zip. works PERFECT. Loving it!!!! took a while though. a few steps locked up for some time. Be patient....

but has anyone noticed the "USB Debugging" notification stay on (unless you click it off). I don't think it was like that before?

Probably had nothing to do with it but I turned Wifi off last night and under
menu>Settings>Wireless & Networks>Mobile Networks>Enable always-on mobile data I enabled it this morning and it happened.

Seems like the path was slightly different before the upgrade. Anyway I've got it regardless.

Best of luck:)

chapter 11 means nothing when it comes to big corporate names. BB has been in the dumps for a while, but ch11 is nothing but procedure. I bought my camaro on the very day GM filed chapter 11 and well that was over 14 months ago and now they are paying off their federal loans.

Chapter 11 for BB probably means that they will end up selling off their stores and going to an online/mail order only business model like NetFlix. Sort of like Circuit City.
 
Ok, so Froyo is here, and like this poster:

http://androidforums.com/htc-incredible/163853-i-have-2-2-now-what-hell-am-i-supposed-do.html

I am not impressed. New widgets don't do much for me and phone performance is about the same ... even though my Quadrant score has more than doubled to 1100 - 1200 or so depending on what's running. (Don't have a lot of faith in that benchmark, actually...)

Anyway, I know it's said you SHOULD reset after the 2.2 OTA but if the benchmark is where it is, will I see any benefit?

NOT looking forward to the reconfiguration effort, even with all my apps backed up on ASTRO and AppBrain. Have tweaked so many settings...

Love this phone, and 2.2 is fine, it's just that it's not lived up to the hype (for me...)

TIA,

I'm confused a bit by your question... what were you expecting?

2.2. provides some updated widgets and apps, some capabilities that previously required root (e.g. LED flashlight), and an improved Java VM. It's not going to be night-and-day; it's a minor update.
 
Guess I was expecting more of a difference in overall UI speed.

A 100% increase in a benchmark ... leads me to think I should at least be able to notice a difference. :) That is, unless the benchmark is meaningless...

So that's what I'm wondering ... if I reset, will I see a difference in "the palm of my hand," because if there isn't, going through the reconfiguration effort will have been a waste of time.

I love 2.2, and i loved the early leaks i flashed on about a month ago, i saw a huge difference in speed, booting, installing apps, flash! the led apps, its all good stuff,
 
I stand corrected sir....I guess that I assumed it was gone when it showed the back arrow in the little tutorial after bootup...it is sure enough still there...thanks and sorry for the misinformation...I was rushing this morning
 
It definitely wouldn't hurt to do a factory reset. Anything that you wipe/reload usually provides better results. To each their own I suppose.
 
I updated using the update zip and it worked I'm on froyo but on web pages there is no flash only boxes with little green arrows pointing down please
 
shrug the difference in speed on my phone is VERY noticeable.

example opening "manage my apps" used to take 10-15 seconds half frozen while the OS computed all the app sizes.

now it take less then 5 sec and doesn't freeze the phone...

That's interesting to know, though not surprising since VZW is all about the bloat.

Just to pass on what I did to recover and install 2.2.

1. Used @johnameria's instructions to re-install unrevoke3.
note: Before all this started, I had installed unrevoked'forever.
and s-off is still active (I still have root with 2.2)
2. Copied the files I removed back to where they go (read 1. above).
3. Booted and made sure USB debugging was connected and running.
4. Downloaded leak of this mornings 2.2 update from here @google.
5. Copied file to sdk/tools and renamed to 22update.zip
6. From sdk/tools: adb push 22update.zip /sdcard/update.zip
7. Intall_
Power off phone
Hold Volume Down and press power at same time til screen lights.
Scroll to "Recovery" and select. I generally followed these instructions from androidcentral...
.. things take a while, but when finished:


android2.2.jpg

After all was set, on PC, I started: adb shell
then
'mv /sdcard/update.zip /sdcard/2.2.update.zip.old'

This post may be somewhat redundant .. but it worked for me - Tomorrow l start removing the 2.2 bloat..

Google told us crap about a jit compiler, it was all smoke. My inc is sometimes jerkier than it was in 2.1

Sounds like you need to a wipe too. The lag is bugs and issues of moving from 2.1 to 2.2. The JIT does work, and provides a sizable speed boost.

To the OP: I would recommend a wipe just so that you know 2 weeks from now you aren't going to run into some incompatibility problem. If you have any kind of lag or anything, definitely reset.

Also, you should just ignore the benchmark. It is true that the CPU got a gigantic leap in performance thanks to the JIT, which is the cause for the leap in score...but not everything ( especially the UI itself ) is really going to take advantage of this. The UI should have been smooth in 2.1 and it should be smooth in 2.2 because it really doesn't take much power to run a simple UI. Once you get into stuff that demands more CPU ( for example, a conversation with several hundred text messages ) is when you would see a difference.
