[OFFICIAL] Froyo OTA downloading/received - w00t!!!

I am also having the com.google.process.gapps problem w/ random vibrations. I saw someone said to uninstall google search, but it doesn't seem to be an app you can uninstall.

Any tips / revelations?
Did you try uninstalling it through the settings > applications > manage applications menu?

It took some time scrolling through but I eventually found it. If that doesn't work a couple of people were able to uninstall talk and the market and that worked for them.

Is there a way to reinstall after doing this?
 
Install worked fine on my South Carolina unrooted Fascinate. Have to redo my menu's but my background was intact. I used Backup Pro just before the upgrade. Noticed the apps are resorted alphabetically. It's like starting over with a new phone. Fun stuff!
 
West side no update yet. I am awake 1:35 AM. lol

Just quick question, Apps I downloaded will be still there and saved notes as well, correct?

delete google hacked search widget before install or remove sd card uninstall google widget (enhanced) and ur good to go. (press and hold both volume rocker and power button to reset phone)
 
battery pop up is back and the old menu code to remove it isnt working, neither is test modes code.....anybody got an answer yet?
 
how do i change physical search button to google engine ?

I dont think there is a way to do this, the actual search button will always use Bing....

As for my install, everything worked great [using ADW Launcher Ex] and I even have the hacked google search widget still installed [so there actually 2 google search widgets, cuz the skin of the "new" one with Froyo doesnt seem to change with the ADW Theme i'm using so im gonna keep the hacked one for now that does change till I can figure out why the Froyo one wont]. The only thing I had to do was reapply all my widgets.

I would also like to know about the secret menu codes...working? not working? new codes?....

Anyone know how to keep the screen on while charging, i dont like how to shuts off now..maybe some kind of Fascinate specific app [like noLED] i can install that will let me do this?
 
Ever since I updated mine I can no longer take screenshots. Anyone else have this problem?
To clarify, I am using "shootme"
Press and hold you "back" button and while holding the "back" button down press the power button. This will make a screen shot for you and put it in a folder in your gallery called ScreenCapture.
 
All the hype and I do not see the huge difference between 2.2 and 2.1. Yes there are some things in here that are different, probably a little better, but not to justify all the complaining. Now if this were a 2.0 to 3.0 delay, I would understand the complaining! Good lord! BTW: My GPS took just as long to acquire the signal as it did in 2.1.

Not to mention, my entire home screens have all reverted back to default. That is poor upgrade practice!!!!
 
Wife's phone upgraded on first try...but she can't get on the browser without having WiFi on..DeeDeeDee...gotta have mobile data on?......And I'm on my 7th try now.....
 
but it does seem much faster and smoother. Web pages seem to load faster. Overall I'm quite pleased.

I agree. My phone works much smoother. To those that don't see a difference, it is what it was advertised to be. It has been posted many times here that most people won't "see" a difference in 2.2, but the changes are monumental to the people that bought this phone to use it for what it is capable of. I was excited to get flash, and to be able to put my apps on my SD card. I've had to go through a factory reset on 2.1....not cool to have to try to remember what apps I had, not to mention trying to find them again!
 
I'm rooted on the stock ROM. Two questions...


1. Can I update with root?
2. Will updating kill my root?


The reason why this is important to me is I am on a limited data plan (pageplus) and I need root to run droidwall (blocks apps from using data).
 
DAMN.....I got a no go on my 7th try.....WTF? Am I being punished?

Man- my phone battery went drained last night or I would have checked then, when I went to bed, I plugged in and DID check- it downloaded overnight, and then- in the morning- FAIL. :<

so I am downloading again (thoguht maybe it was becuase I left it overnight that it failed- guess not) and am at 89% now... it is taking forever.

man.

I hope it doesnt fail this time. I want some froyo.
 
am I seeing things wrong...or is the market place the old one after the update? or is an updated one? lol. hrm. IDC much, either one is cool w/ me. just found it odd that it went back.

Mine is back to the old market as well, not sure why. Hopefully it'll re-download the new market in the next day or two.

*EDIT* The first time I went to the Marketplace after the update it was the old style, the next tiem (maybe 2 hours later?) it was back to the current version. Guess it updated itself quickly.

Ah man! They took away the Silent option when rocking the volume rocker all the way down. Only vibrate again, unless you turn vibrate off in the options menu. Also it feels as if my vibrate is extremely weaker? I don't like that. I use vibrate only a lot! I'm also not a huge fan of the new way you edit your screens. Like the amount & order of them. I mean it's cool they added if you pinch you can edit them like Launcher Pro. Other than that...everything is 100x better IMO. Quicker. Google Search. The option to turn Data off in the pull down drawer. Even the windows in the browser look different. Instead of a list, you get a preview of the website you are on. Pretty cool. I'll have more input later more than likely when I start using everything.

I've always just gone to silent mode by holding down the power button and selecting it. My wife always did the "drop the volume all the way to the bottom" but I think it takes more effort.

The touch feedback is MUCH lighter in 2.2, but I realize that you can change the intensity in the settings menu. I like it lighter though, haven't tested vibrate though.

I need to give the 2.2 browser a whirl, although I'll probably still stick with Opera Mobile.

I was using launcherpro too and everything just came back on like normal...maybe do a factory reset?

Everything loaded right up with LP for me too. I was sure it'd shoot me back to a factory reset too, I was pleasantly surprised.

how do i change physical search button to google engine ?

I want to know too.

I dont think there is a way to do this, the actual search button will always use Bing....

There must be. The very first time I hit the search button it took me straight to Google Search with the option to search other things as well. Every time since then it's pulled up Bing.

Press and hold you "back" button and while holding the "back" button down press the power button. This will make a screen shot for you and put it in a folder in your gallery called ScreenCapture.

I never knew this, I may give it a try.

but it does seem much faster and smoother. Web pages seem to load faster. Overall I'm quite pleased.

Agree, everything seems to happen more quickly.
 
Gah. Fail again. and, in the course of downloading the FAILED update, the stupid phone went from 100% charged to 37% charged. that is so redonculous!

what is going on with all the failed updates people are getting???
 
I updated OTA last night and so far, so good. Skype works (the real Skype on the market, not the Verizon piece of junk), Flash works fine, and the build seems stable so far.

The only nitpick I have--and a very minor nitpick, at that... I noticed that if you lock the phone via the TouchWiz UI (where you see the puzzle to unlock) that the clock shows an added "0" in front of single-hour times. Thus, instead of showing "6:55 AM" it shows "06:55 AM". Has anyone else noticed this? I assume it is a bug.
 
I started my update last night but after about an hour and getting stuck at about 56% I realized something was wrong. I finally got a prompt that said the download failed. When I tried again I got the prompt 'Server Unavailable'. Did a battery pull, waited...same. Woke up this morning..still getting 'Server Unavailable' and 'No New Software Update Available'. Please HELP!!! PS- I am on the west coast.
 
Questions:
Someone mentioned being able to keep a battery % indicator in the notification bar, anyone know how?

In 2.1 there was the ability to change the system volume (turning down to volume of on-screen clicks) but that function seems to be gone in Froyo, anyone found a way to quiet that a bit?
 
Anyone help with how to magnify a page using Browser with the new 2.2. I tried tapping bottom of page with no results.
 
Contact app broken? Back button doesnt work when ur in contact app i can press home button to get out of it.... anyone having same issue?
