[Official] What Changes Have You Noticed After Updating to 2.2 (Froyo)?

I am thinking that must have the Droid 2 image and the stagefright lines alteration included because I haven't seen a score in the 2k range without the stagefright lines being changed from false to true.

Do me a favor, record a quick HD video with your camera and try to play it back immediately. Does it work?

No I can't seem to play videos. Weird!
 
Mine is ALOT louder, now it is almost as loud as my original Droid. I actually turn down some of my volumes, and my hearing isn't that good.
 
Teslaled works fine for those asking about a flashlight app.

It must have been updated, because everyone (including me) else said it was broken when they did the froyo upgrade....

EDIT: It was updated specifically for us! It works again! Thanks!
 
A couple observations -

- The slide to answer call is smooth as butter.
- Ringers, notifications etc are louder
- Battery life is crazy good, seems to have doubled!
- Flash :)
- Gallery app is better
- You can click on the contacts picture now and it pops up a box to text, email call etc

Several expected others..
 
Battery life is much better. After updating, I am still around 70% at bed time as opposed to 30% on 2.1. Finally I don't have to charge every night!!
 
I don't know if anyone has posted this yet, but gmail app now let's me switch between my 2 accounts.

I hadn't noticed that but I have been noticing my Gmail icon has an unread mail number on it even when there is no unread email on my phone. I have to log in online to mark all my mail as read.

If you have the address info saved for the contact a navigation icon pops up as well...but of course it's VZ Navigator, not Google Maps Navigation, so it's pretty useless for most of us.
 
After 2.2, I no longer get LED notifications with Touchdown email. I tried reinstalling, and it worked for awhile, but now back to no LED. Everything else works fine.
 
We have a 2.1 Dx here, and my 2.2 Dx as well... putting the same sound playing on each phones, and spacing them about 10 feet away on both sides, in every single instance, the 2.2 Dx was significantly louder.

I have a slight hearing sensitivity in my right ear, and I can no longer even listen to calls at fulll volume. I need to turn calls two at least two notches to listen comfortably.
