Android 2.2 [Froyo] Bugs and Questions - Post em Here

I tried searching forum for answer to this and couldn't find anything helpful.

Just installed 2.2 on my Motorola Droid and now WAV files won't play. I get my voice messages from the office via email attachment in WAV format. Any solutions?

haha not in those words i just said that the option to update to 2.2 came up so i said sure and now the phone is dead. they didn't even look at it, just said that they could warranty it if i had it less than a year so that's what we are doing.
 
I saw the system update come through after 11pm last night....first of all I wasn't certain it was legit and second of all, I didn't want to have trouble and verizon tech supp would be closed, so the first time I hit "Later". It came through again about 20min later and I hit "more info" and was notified that it was indeed froyo2.2 and that the download failed. I have reset my phone by popping the battery, spoke to Verizon, they referred me to Motorola. I'm waiting for level 2 tech support to call me back.

I REALLY do NOT want to reset my phone back to factory issue state as I had to last update....any ideas? Thanks, Cyn
 
Not a huge fan of the new white background in the text messaging area. Anyone know of a way to get it to revert to the old black background?

K, All Fixed. I talked to verizon and they said they didnt have ANY other reports of this isssue so they suggested a factory reset. So I backed everything up wrote down all my apps and checked the two boxes above the factory data reset, (Back up my data and Automatic restore) and did the factory data reset.

Took about 5 minutes to reset the phone but when the phone came back on the browser works perfectly.

On an interesting side note I didn't have to go through the market and re-download and re-install all my apps. It automatically re-installed all the apps I had before. I did have to re-set up my e-mail, gmail, and facebook but that was easy. Took me longer to set up my home screens than anything else.

That is interesting because when I updated I completely lost my Gmail app and cannot get it back. Has anyone else had this problem?

I cannot find the Gmail app in the Market either.

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!

Got 2.2 loaded and working!!! Thanks!!!

However, now I cannot connect to my Exchange Mail account at work (was working perfectly prior to upgrade). If I enable SSL, it says that I can't establish a connection to the server (SSL was enabled prior to the upgrade). If I disable SSL, it immediately returns an invalid username/password combination. (And I've typed the username and password at least 20 times. I couldn't have gotten it wrong that many times...)

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jeff

Go to settings->applications->Running Services

I found lots of stuff running that I didn't need....shut off wifi, gps, etc if you aren't using it...otherwise maybe the battery has gone bad.

When I long press the button on the earpiece, it just redials the last number. Maybe there's a compatability issue, and I have yet to try it in my car that has built in Bluetooth. We'll have to see. But for now, I am disappointed. This was probably one of the features that I was most anticipating.

I thought it wasn't working for me either, because on my previous phones i only had to press the earpiece button for voice commands. Long pressing would redial the last number like you say. I'm using a Plantronics and I can confirm the behavior quoted. A long press of the button brings up voice commands. I guess I no longer get to redial, but I can live without that as it was a hindrance more than a help for me (calling people when I really meant to turn the headset off).

I'm using plantronics 925. Long press activate voice dial. Double press activates last number dialed. You may want to try that.

I use the widget that has all those features on it and the only one i leave on is sync. Never use gps or wifi. The battery cant just go bad from working so perfect a few days ago before 2.2 update. Not gonna believe that one bit.
 
Is anyone else getting two or three captcha prompts when accessing a Google app (GMail, GDocs) or purchasing a paid app from the Market with FRG01B? Not every time, maybe about 25%. Then logging into the Google resource takes a long time.
 
I have discovered that I have voice search on my phone since it was updated to 2.2. When I open it and say "send text to Ann...this is a test"
I get a screen that shows to and message. the to part is blank and the message reads "And this is a test" What am I doing wrong?
 
Got the 2.2 Update on Thurs night & now I have no 3G, Web or Data. WTF?? I can still text & phone though. Went to the Verizon store but had to call tech support who told me I needed a replacement phone. I was ok with the 2.1 but wanted Flash, so I went with it. My Question Now, How can I get the 2.1 back just till I get another phone?? I still have the update (2.1) in the root of my sd card & tried to work it but wouldn't load. Please advise & I'm hoping not to do a full factory restore, but if that's the only option then fine, just want it to work!! Thanks in advance, Joe.....

Hey,

I may have missed it in the large thread, so if I have, kindly redirect me and I'd appreciate it. After I downloaded the new update, I seem to have lost my playlists. They are still there, but there are no songs in them anymore. All the music can still be accessed and played as well.

Any ideas?

I got my Froyo update this morning and I just now realized that I have a similar problem. I'm using the standard music player and now it's not recognizing the artists/albums. They all show up as separate playlists or under songs.

Anybody else have this issue? Is this something that will get cleared up with the second update?
 
I am really hating this upgrade. I never had any problems with my phone before, but ever since the update I have had 2 main problems
1. Unable to acquire location in News and Weather App, very annoying since I like to check the weather forecast
2. Home Button does not work AT ALL. This is a huge problem for me. The only way to get back to the home screen is to continuously press the back button

I have read that a factory reset will sometimes fix issues with froyo, but I really do not want to do this. I don't have the time to renter all my contacts and configure all my settings.
Is there another fix? Is there any way to downgrade to 2.1 until this release is less buggy?

Thanks!

Try saying Ann's whole name as it is in your contact list.

You would downgrade before doing a factory wipe? that is crazy. a factory wipe does not clear your contacts if you are syncing them to the google servers. You will have to configure some of your apps settings, but a lot of apps have backup features you should look into. also some backup programs on the market will backup settings for individual programs.

FWIW my phone ran much smoother with the factory wipe.

Try recopying your music to the card.
