Please put all the bugs you have found in Froyo in this thread and eventually this can be forwarded to HTC.
Edit: the push functionality seems to be working to some capacity.
- Crash/force close -
Internet Browser
*Issue: When selecting accept all plugins in the settings for the stock browser it will force close on execution
**Work around/solution: Select to clear all data in the application settings for the browser
- Loss of functionality -
Email App/Widget
*Issue: Push email not working as before. The email will sometimes fail to sync (when other mail clients can sync) and push communications is sometimes only one way (phone to webmail)
- Non-verified bugs/issues -
Google Earth
*Issue: Google Earth App not available on market
I am expiriencing a very bad performance of SenseUI after upgrading to froyo. Everything is slower than it was before?
very bad performance if I use live wallpapers.
thats all for now^^
The browser has a few issues - when a page is still loading, there is a refresh button instead of a stop button, and copy and paste is very buggy.

I think it would be best if users post what ROM they're using...
But back on topic: Sometimes my sense restarts with no error report/popup whatsoever...
All my alarms were resetted... Could be just my phone, I dunno, but quite annoying if I hadn't noticed
All my alarms where reset aswell....but that's not a big problem to me. What is, is that also my entire agenda/calendar was wiped. :/
And it does seem froyo is loading stuff (like picture preview tiles, app lists, setting menus, the folder list in 'Pictures' app, etc.) a lot slower then eclair. And I'm not even running an animated wallpaper.
Let's go!
- Although Froyo is way faster for everthing, sometimes (i mean often!) my phone starts to slow down and i've unfortunately to reboot my phone..
- The music app has become resistant to task killers (at least on my phone). Probably like a bacteria to antibiotics??
Some surprises:
- Fonts are more beatiful to read, especially the text under icons (that striked me when I just updated)
-My greys are not pinkish anymore!!!
- Fonts on the SMS app are a bit bigger and it's really better (but the textfield is not as beautiful as before), and we have photos like on handcent on the conversations list.
I will not list everthing because there is a topic on the desire forums but i hadn't read that.
As I have mentioned in my thread everything works fine for me howeverwhen called or trying to call the other side does not hear my voice

same here its slower then before...also app drawer is laggy.
Try removing the live backgrounds, it works like a charm without it.
Go around the loss of push email by installing a non HTC phone's mail.apk.
I have the 2.1 Milestone and it works beautifully.

Im running the de-branded UK Vodafone Froyo ROM and honestly have to say there are no issues with speed at all. Even with live wallpapers running, all homescreens remain fast and smooth, as does the app drawer.
I did do a fresh install however with a full wipe, I then used TitaniumBackup to restore alarms, SMS messages, etc when done
Did not wipe or factory reset, just installed froyo. Everything works fine. No speed issues, my weather started working correct again, push mail works fine. And after living with sms bug for one whole day, i'm very happy to say it's gone... So suprisingly nothing to complain about yet.
New day, new bugs.

Wifi Connection
*Issue: An active wifi connection will stop working properly if the phone has been in sleep mode for some time. The wifi connection symbol will still be displayed (and always at the same level of reception (in my case full)) and the email clients will not warn of lack of connection and instead try to sync for ever.
**Work around/solution: Change wifi policy settings in settings - wifi - menu button - advanced from 15 minutes to something else. This might work to some extent, otherwise solution is to disable and re-enable wifi connection.
Hi, one annoying detail after updating: my 'Gmail Unread Count' widget has suddenly started to launch the Gmail app opening the most recent message, instead of opening the inbox.
When I launch Gmail directly from the apps list, it opens the inbox as it should. 'Course this issue is not related to Froyo, but I imagine I'm not the only one dependent on the 'Unread Count' widget. Anyone experiencing the same?

I'm experiencing extreme performance degradation after the upgrade to Froyo!
I'm running an unbranded HTC Legend, stock rom, upgraded via Systems Software Updates OTA, I'm running ADW and Handscent. Other that that, it's stock. (3.15.405.3)
People are complaining that they can't hear me properly! This is the biggest concern I have so far!
Switching between Home Screens is slower, it hangs and it's less responsive. (Swipe, hangs for a second, then moves)
Using the back button to exit apps is very VERY slow. (Handscent is almost unusable)
Opening apps is slower. When pressing app, it zoom towards the screen faster, but hangs afterwards.
Scrolling in almost every app/widget is slow and lags!!!!!!
Entering the lock screen pattern is very slow
Scrolling the app drawer is very slow
It appears it's mostly a scrolling issue?
Another thing is that lock screen does not always work. The screen goes off and when I enable it again, I get right to the first home screen. Ie. no lock pattern. (FOUND IT : It now says "lock screen after 5 minutes"....so I set it to immediately.)
Also using "Gmail Unread Count" widget goes straight to first message, not the inbox. Does not matter if the message is already read.

Try going into the WiFi settings, then press the menu button and choose advanced. You will find WiFi sleep options in here. Choose the second or third option as you see fit. I've not tested it but I think it may solve your problem.

I experienced the slowness briefly, but after rebooting a couple of times it seems fine - if anything actually much faster! Not sure what exactly is causing the problem though...
Hey there,
I have a question about a possible Android bug that has had its annoyance on me for quite a while now. Sometimes when I wanna type something into a text box and it doesn't show up whatsoever in the text box at all. I feel the vibrations of the keys while I'm typing, and I also seen that the dictionary recommends and corrects words right on top of the keyboard as if I'm actually typing, but nothing shows up in the text box, I usually have to wait three to four minutes before it goes back to normal and it starts showing the letters I type in the text box, I use a different keyboard other then the default Android one, but the same thing also happens with that keyboard as well. It has never done this before and started about one month ago, my HTC Legend is obviously rooted and I currently run a Stock ROM of Android 2.2, is this a known bug? Is there a fix for it? Thanks for the help.
thats sounds like your legend lags.... does it help after freeing the ram? eg. using task killer...
That used to happen to me as well but only while typing in landscape mode. When I'd transfer back to portrait it would be fine. Usually closing the app I was using would fix everything. Since I started using smart keyboard pro I only use portrait mode so don't even know if it happens anymore lol
Sent from my Legend using XDA App
Hey guys thanks for the help, I also use Smart Keyboard Pro and it even happens on that keyboard as well, I have a task killer and exit the app, and close all apps via the task killer but no luck, it usually needs a few minutes and it starts working fine. But I'll see about the landscape and portrait mode. Thanks for the help again guys.
If it bugs you that much try flashing another ROM. That sounds exactly like a bad case of lag, as psyionx suggested. It would be worth it!
I just noticed a couple of days ago that the screen was not rotating when phone is placed sideways..i have that autorotation function enabled but still not turning.
I am not sure what happened, but it is kinda irritating.
I recently flashed SC 2.5 voodoo last week, didnt notice this at first. not sure if it is rom-related or just my phone ,,maybe some apps i installed..
has anybody had this problem before?
should i just wipe and flash again? i rather not do it if i can resolve it without flashing new rom.
thank you
There should be a rotation option on the far right of your pull down menu. Make sure it's lit up
Edit: sorry I didn't see that in your op. Have you tried disabling and re enabling

I think it is important to note here that NOT ALL LAUNCHERS SUPPORT AUTO ROTATION. Do your APPS while in use Auto-Rotate? If so, then it is simply your homescreen that will not Auto-Rotate because of your launcher, and THAT you cannot change, unless you get a different launcher. If your APPS do not Auto-Rotate either though, then yes, I would wipe, wipe, wipe, and re-flash. Also the launcher that comes with SuperClean does NOT Auto-Rotate.

i use launcherpro, and i disabled autorotation for the launcher so yes launcher doesnt rotate but i like it that way. but now even if i enable the autorotation for launcherpro it wont rotate. main problem is using browsers (dolphine, stock, or opera) or typing like sending text it just suddenly stopped rotating a couple of days ago, not sure why,, other apps like games that have default horizontal display is working fine (but they dont rotate anyway..)

I have heard of this bro, it is probably the sensor. Someone else reported the same problem. They wiped, wiped, wiped, and reflashed and all was well. I would try that, I hope it works for you!

I had the same thing happen to me about a week ago, but I was able to pinpoint when the problem occurred and I was able to fix it. If you use Google Maps, at some point it may tell you that your compass needs to be calibrated and that you should wave your phone in a figure 8. Well I started waving my phone and then suddenly it hard locked and the screen turned a funky shade of yellow. I had to pull the battery and reboot. At that point I lost all rotation and sensors. If you go to the Android market and download some Compass or Sensor apps, you should see that you phone doesn't work with those apps. I ended up wiping everything and just reflashing a superclean version again. Fortunately, all of my sensors started working again and I have not experienced this problem since.

While generally being quite happy with the Gingerbread update for my Desire Z, clearly there are a few glitches.
First of all, my DZ is a Nordic version with the characters Æ, Ø, Å, Ä and Ö on the hardware keyboard.
On 2.2 before the OTA there was a bug which consistently caused capitalization of Æ, Ø and Å (æøå) when using the hardware keyboard. I don't know about Ä and Ö which are only used in Swedish and not in Danish and Norwegian.
This bug is now fixed using the native keyboard but still present using Scandinavian Keyboard which I have installed from Market. I must admit that I have not contacted the developer to ask if this could be a bug in the app.
Sadly, I have now experienced another bug related to the hardware keyboard after updating to 2.3 - today it happened for the second time.
When typing in Whatsapp and the SMS app (and possibly other apps) using the hardware keyboard pressing "S" will open the SMS app, pressing "G" will open Gmail and pressing "B" will open the built-in browser (not Dolphin HD which is set to default). This is fixed by a reboot (temporarily, it seems). Incidentally, the bug disappeared just now without a reboot while checking if it was also present in Gmail.
The missing pictures bug in HTC's gallery app is still there - still using QuickPic.
Anything that is not listed here - please add to the thread.
EDIT:
As many others I also get the constant Sense restarting thing which is driving me insane!
Also the brightness setting itself to maximum many times.
A handful random reboots. A couple happened with no apps open and doing nothing on the phone - I just happened to notice when it rebooted.
Since monomer888's advise I haven't had another shortcut typing bug happen (as of yet). Thanks!
I'm running software version 2.42.405.2 CL84109

My phone doesn't show album art in the music player, and it still doesn't work after several restarts, and dismounting and mounting sd card. Hope it gets fixed soon

- when exit from a fullscrren app, sometimes the status bar doesnt fit all screen, leting a space (about 10% of the screen space). Expanding the status bar fix it
- Portuguese translation erros remains from the first rom 1.34!!!!!:
Call volume is "Volume de ligação recebida" - shuold be "Volume da ligação"
The tips widget is "Dicar", should be "Dicas"
And a few others, that I don't remember now.
I've only seen some minor UI bugs and most recently, the capital letters typing a text message. That only happens when I try to type too quickly after opening the thread.
I must admit that I havent seen the gallery bug yet but then I don't really use the camera.
Might be worth posting your version number to track regional bugs.
Mine is 2.42.405.2
Brightness will be stuck at max waking from sleep sometimes. Brightness slider has no effect. Fixes itself if you sleep then wake again.
Playback of videos not taken with the camera is very stuttery. THis wasn't the case in 2.2.
I had the missing gallery pictures problem and the brightness problem as well-I have it normally on auto-bright, but sometimes when I wake it or reboot it, it automatically changes to full brightness and I have to select auto-bright again.
Also, Sense restarts after almost anything.
After installing, deleting or moving an app, returning to the home makes sense crash and restart.
I have a gallery bug aswell, can click on some line with pic and wording not shown.
I had once a bug in the unlock pin screen, tapping 7 was actually hitting 4, same if I hold on 7, i see the pressed status of the 4 button onscreen. It happened when i had no charge at all and plugged the phone to the usb port of my running pc. It was also impossible to switch on the phone, i had to plug it out.
Can't remember more right now.

I was wondering if anyone had noticed if there is still this bug or if you could test to check for me:
Start an app in portrait mode, slide out the keyboard for landscape mode, hit the home key. Do your apps/widgets load right away or within a couple seconds? For me it has always been that it will take 15-20 seconds for the screen to load, all I will see is the status bar and my background, no loading screen, no errors, nothing but that. Let me know if you had this prior to updating and also if you have it after, thanks!
ME TOO!

I've experienced these as well. Funny thing is, I only experience the 10% bug in Facebook app.
Besides that "desktop loader" and sense-crash problem I got some strange issue with my mobile data connection - searched the forum for a while, haven't found anything, so I'll report it as a gingerbread bug.
Sense displays an activated connection all the time (3g/H - with those two little arrows flashing, thus indicating some traffic) but, unfortunately totally random, it decides to stop working.
Only way to check the data connection is browsing google. Turning off/on fixes the problem temporarily.
In addition, the speed of my mobile connection seem to be capped at some point - typically, depending on my location, it'll stick with 3G instead of H until I reboot. (noticed a remarkable speed difference by browsing the web before and after reboot)
Anyone similar problems?
Desire Z - 2.3.3 Stock
@Kueber;
While i've only seen the sense reload when my phone is uunder a lot of CPU load, I have seen it.
Regarding the data issue, i've only seen it with a certain app, "London Journey" This would retrieve some downloads, but not others. Maybe its a change in the data API relating to the new Download API. Using any other app was fine.
In maybe a slightly related issue, I've noticed that when in GPRS or EDGE, its much more reluctant to go to HSPA, especially when the H signal is low. However, this would normally just drop straight back to G / E anyway so is an improvement in my mind. It also seems quicker to see the HSPA connection has been lost and goes to G / E.
In your case, if location determins 3G rather than H, it could indicate you mobile provider may not have upgraded all their sites yet. If it passes data, then its stuck at 3G.

Hey there, thanks for your answer.
The strange thing is that my previous phone (HTC Legend) always displays a HSDPA connection (speaking of my hometown as testing area). My Desire Z also states a H connection until it get capped somehow. Then I reboot and the little H is back. It is definitely not a display bug, since the speed difference, as already mentioned earlier, is noticeable after rebooting.
Is there some kind of a "user control" in areas that aren't fully covered by a mobile provider, so that my connection may drop due to non using the phone? (It happens normally while phone is sleeping) And is it possible that my Legend, 2.2 stock btw, just isn't very accurate when it comes down to displaying the current connection speed? - to mention your point of a quicker HSDPA loss on gingerbread.
greetings
I also have the Sense constantly restarting. It is really, really, REALLY annoying!
It happens about 50% of the times when I return to the home screen from any app, even the browser.
Has any of you tried uninstalling the Gingerbread update? Don't even know if it is possible, though.
beside the above bugs. the missing pictures bugs also affects my sound files. i can't change my ringtone or alarm tone. it will change back to the default ringtone every few hrs as the sound files went missing on my sd card. has to do a sdrescan to get it back. but few hrs later it will go missing again & ringtone either be empty or back to default.

yeah it drives me crazy too. Any chance to downgrade easily before update?
I've had the exact same bugs as described above, it drove me insane.
after 3 days or so i was fed up with it and downgraded and installed Virtuous 2.0. the bugs are gone and i've got a stable, rooted phone.
has anyone tried to contact HTC about these bugs? I myself was too lazy to write an email..
I believe that I am experiencing over aggressive app killing. I have noticed with a lot of browser tabs open, the OS seems to be killing swiftkey on me. It will frequently stop and restart mid sentence. I believe this happens when there is roughly 800 MB of RAM available or less. Does anyone know how to stop this?
Is anyone else using Swiftkey with this phone? Could there be a bug with Swiftkey and this phone?
Updated: turns out same thing is happening with Google keyboard, it closes and restarts so I think the OS is the problem
Updated: 12/19/2016
I've now noticed that the stock camera also gets shut off by the OS. I'll be taking several pictures or just trying to focus the camera and the screen (viewfinder) will just go completely dark for a second before coming back on. Strangely this issue does not occur with Open Camera.
did you try adding app to safe list?
Phone manager>Powersaving management>App protection.
disable it for the apps you want to keep in background.
You can also lock the app in recents menu, by swiping down.
Power saving management was already disabled, so nothing should be getting auto cleaned up. I'm not sure what's going on here.
Thanks for the other tip though about locking an app in the recents menu.
Is that different than what is discussed above?
