Even though its certain this isn't the official release, I thought we should condense the topics and just post the your thoughts about the good and bad features this update provides.
Ill start..dk28 isn't that awful for me like others. The only problems I've noted was samsung widgets disappearing sometimes, home screen rotation lag, and a few checkers showing up in the browser when zooming in and out.
However, on the bright side, flash is very smooth, and there are better icons

GPS fubared?
No notification when charging usb
Hey guys i recently started having a problem with the back button.it will pick up half the time and then its unresponsive the time any ideas on what i can do?
Probably just lag. Which way did you flash dk28?
Btw, I came up with some other things.
1. Notfications are delayed (ex. Handcents icons in the top bar are sometimes delayed)
2. Keyboard delayed (its actually a bit worse than before)

*Keyboard/touchscreen/captivate button lag/failure to register action/press
*Streaming music skips (last.fm) while doing anything else; like browsing the web.
*Slow orientation change
*No lineout on multimedia dock yet
*None of the unicorns and rainbows flying out of the screen that were promised by the legion of unrelenting froyo fanboys littering this forum for the past month.

Same here, I guess a few of us got lucky. Just very small things such as checker boarding. I don't have homescreen lagg though, or widgets that disappear.

GPS actually finally works for me with the update, I'm getting signal indoors in places I hadn't previously and it has yet to time out and require me to reflush the agps data or reboot the phone (used it all day today for work).

Not seeing this one either, lets me know right away though the notification bar as per usual.
However I am experiencing one very odd piece of behavior, If I open the phone to show the keyboard, turn off the screen and leave it sitting ... the keyboard LED blinks constantly. I'm not sure if it's an app of mine conflicting or froyo itself but it's fairly annoying.

I personally went back to 2.1, rock solid and stable.
On 2.2, Screen rotation is slow as molasses, GPS is stuck on my work location and would not work at all in updating. Browser was a bit slower compared to 2.1. Hated the scattered, non-alphabetical applications folder, wtf?!!
I enjoyed the 2.2 leak but the little niggles weren't enough to stay on it.
I did like the coloured menus, and the ability to turn off 3G when holding the power button for a few secs.
I keep getting errors when connecting to Wifi. I will look down at the phone and wifi will be off even though i never turned it off, and then the notification toggle wont do anything, and when I go into settings to enable it, it says "error" underneath the Wifi entry. Then it takes a few tries to get it connected again.
I do like where Froyo is headed, but this is absolutely no where near polished enough for final release.
Edit: Having a fully working GPS is awesome though. 2 meter accuracy = Awesome.
Does anyone else have lag when trying to adjust brightness on the notification bar?

If you press menu > edit > menu again, there's an option for A-Z order.
Guess it doesn't matter now since you downgraded, but just thought id let you know.

I've noticed since 2.2 that when a caller hangs up, I get a single beep in my bluetooth earpiece confirming that the call has ended, which I like...didn't have any sound before that.
Anyone else having trouble hanging up during a phone call? I hit the damn End button at least 3-4 times before it decides to hang up.
I must be one of the lucky few, everything works great, and not only that it fixed all the issues I had with the previous 2.1 build. I've tried out just about everything I can think of wifi, gps, 4g, pandora, etc.
edit: Should add, I did a factory reset after I installed it, wiped everything the only bit I loaded back in was contacts.

Give the phone a few secs after the screen comes back on then press it. Works fine; if you immediately press it.. it doesn't hangup. Seems intentional..
Umm.. aside from no GPS now which I plan to fix by reflashing di18 then 2.2... I don't find any major problems. The keyboard does have a bit of a registration flaw but not too major..
The leds do light up whenever the screen is off.
And I don't think the brightness sensor likes my room light because it enjoys changing itself a bit.

I'm always weary about doing wipes, so to test if this is true, mid anyone else testing out this also to see if he's right? =P

I have noticed the Sammy widget thing and the slow screen rotations but I was intrigued by your bug. So I tried it. Definitely happened. I wouldn't say 'blinks constantly' though. At least not in my case. It flashed on for about 2-3 seconds every 30 or so seconds. Maybe even as long as a minute. Caught me off guard. I watched it for a bit then went back to reading this thread only to have it happen out of the corner of my eye.

Woah, just tried it. I had similar results. However, I opened the keyboard, let the flash disappear, then 2-3 seconds later it came back. And stayed there too, for about a minute or so!
Not really a big deal in my opinion; I honestly don't use the keyboard often due to its laginess..
My phone has been doing this for 2 or 3 days now. When I accept an incoming call, the phone automatically enters speakerphone mode.
When a BT headset is connected, it is fine.
Anyone got a clue why it is doing this? I havenet installed any apps which should have this effect.

Been looking into this all night, with no luck. Has anyone seen this before?
Not had any calls come in on mine yet so can't comment on whether I am affected. I would have thought it would be well known about though if it was widespread.
Are you using stock rom? Tried re-flashing the RUU?
Had this to you need to make someone call you and keep trying with the button to switch between speaker or ear and eventually i got it right! Hold it against your ear then remove it and try button again thats how i did it!

Mine too but it hardly ever does it now. A sensor tries to detect how your phone is positioned and switches to speaker. It seems to go away on the stock rom, so persevere on the stock rom. It all worked out for me eventually. Word of advice though, DISABLE SENSE until it's ready. It makes your contact icons in messages disappear. Htc always releases questionable software which should be described as beta. If you use bluetooth for music, stick with stock for now. Yadda yadda. All in all, the dhd. Rules. Oh ya, anyone know how the htc hd2 rund witb android 2.2. I saw lots of great deals on ebay to buy a broken one and fix tbe software to run android. I just want a new toy really.

I had this for a while - turned out to be an iffy setting in my profile manager/switcher (phoneweaver). Are you using anything like that?
FIXED: Oh my word, how simple was this...
Should have said, I'm on stock everything as I have a poor track record with having to send stuff back to manufacturers to be fixed.
After spending all night looking for a solution, and trying a couple of things found on other forums (install phonespeaker app and turn it off in that - doesn't work BTW), I decided this morning to remove the possibility that the phone had simply got its panties in a bunch, switched it off properly and removed the battery. 10 minutes of being denied a power source has cured it. Most bizarre.
Thanks for the suggestions guys.

Has anyone else had problems with the notification bar malfunctioning and showing green? I have run across this with all DK28 ROMs so far but wasn't able to find anyone else with this issue. It only happens when the phone is connected to a bluetooth device. It happens for all programs just used dialer to show the problem.

I have the same issue. I use LauncherPro, and have configured the double-home-tap to invoke the notification bar. That is how I get around it.
Thanks so it is a DK28 issue then.
Its not an issue. It does this when on a phone call whether it be blue tooth or handset. If you pull down the status bar there are call options. Its to let you know your connected. Personally I dislike oyt and wanna start looking for a fix our a work around in the xmls.

My phone keeps deciding to go into car mode of its own accord!
This is both on MIUI and LeeDrOiD.
The phone also automatically goes into speaker phone mode whenever I make or receive a call.
Is there any way to disable car mode, or is there a hardware problem with my phone?
Cheers
I'm having the same problem, if you go into setting, car dock, you can uncheck "auto launch car dock" or something similar. It will stop it from entering car mode, but it will still default the speaker to on.
Delivered mine back at the shop today, they hadn't seen it before, but guessed it was a HW problem.
Just changed to AlienMinds CM7 and the problem has disappeared. Hopefully if I go back to sense it will stay fixed!

I'm not too sure about why it keeps shifting to Car Mode, but as far as the activation of the speaker every time you get a call, all I can say is that, that's what it supposed to do anyway when in Car Mode.
If, for any reason, you had that problem even when your DHD was not in car mode, my guess would be that there's something up with either your gyroscope or with your proximity sensor.
I killed Car Mode and got away with it
Car Mode would pop up constantly on my HTC Incredible 2. It had nothing to do with the usb. Most times, the phone wasn't even plugged it and Car Mode would still pop up and Yes, I could click on it and disable it. For about 5 secs, then it was back. The worst part was that it would force-close the program that I was in to launch. It took me about 8 hours of research. Car Mode is a system app, and therefore can not be removed like other applications. You have to root your phone then delete, freeze or rename. Ok by me, but rooting apparently isn't stable yet for the Incredible 2 if you have a later os version than 2.2. Guess what? I have 2.3. No problem, how do i revert. Oh, i find out, you can't without resetting the phone to factory, which by the way is what verizon support suggested. I thought not before I back up, but lo and behold you can't back up more than contacts and pics without rooting. Arrrrgh! Next, I looked for an app to help me battle this devil Car Mode, so I tried apps from Amazon and market:
Advanced task killer Free
Astro
Gemini App Manager
Dock Nothingness
Dock no-op
Disable car home
and NONE of them worked, at least not for the Incredible 2.
I had a new idea, if you can't beat them, join them so I installed the latest version of Car Dock Home, hoping that at least it would give the option to not launch. Nope, didn't work. Luckily, I'm good at my job just because I don't give me 'easily'. Anyway, finally on my 14th try, I used 'DockNothing Free' from Amazon. At first, I didn't think this worked either. There was no input screen or settings but that's because the app doesn't initiate until the Car Mode launches, then it allows you to choose to select DockNothing as the default program. I had to do that 3 times: 1) Car Panel 2)Car Dock 3)Home Dock. Now I actually see a little popup that says 3 tasks killed. YEA!
Sorry for the long post, but I'll bet if you're here, you are going crazy because of Car Mode. And I read a lot more than just this much to get mine fixed.
ps. Car Mode actually looks pretty neat and seems useful IN THE CAR. But I have been too afraid to release the monster to check it out. I might at the next update. Might....
Well, got mine back.. they had only done a factory reset and an update, and now the problem is gone. So I guess atleast for my case it was software related..
The funny thing is, I did a factory reset, and had the latest update before I delivered mine for service.
have the same issue with my dhd.
in many geman forums you find the hint that is has something to do with a broken micro-usb and the dhd can't reognize if its plugged in to a dock, or not.
If i plug in a sumple usb-charging-cable neither the car dock starts nor the loudspeaker would turn up.
i took a good look on my micro usb slot and couln't find anything strange.
Anyway, i cleaned it up very well and removed any little fuzz i found.
But i still have this issue.
has anyone an idea how the dhd recognizes if its plugged to an dock or an charging cable???
thats seems to be the key to the Problem
Possible soultion

maybe a possible solution, but as you mentioned i'm afraid to make it even worst.
so, as long as i have guarantee on it i think i bring it to a dealer to send it back to HTC, maybe i'll get a brand new phone, though it ****s me up to have it wiped after that.

Hi,
I'm wondering.. Is there a way to get charging/charged sound notifications on my nexus with normal plug charger and stock rom?
Also.. Is there a way to insert a "clear" notifications button on my tablets (nexus 7 & tf700) just like i have in my cell phones?
TIA.
I think you should be able to use tasker or automate it to set a rule for when you plug your charger in to make a sound
There should be three lines at the top right of the notification panel once pulled down
Hope that helps

Thanks for the reply. But i didn't get it, is tasker an app or OS related?
Try this - Battery Solo Widget - http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.maicas.android.batterys&hl=en
Apart from being a rather nice battery widget, you can also set audio notifications for charged and discharged.
Rgrds,
Ged.
Thanks, now it only remains the clear button for the notifications area.. But I admit i might be reaching too far on this.
I've downloaded tasker and i'm trying to set a rule for plug in charger, but it seems a little confusing. Can you please help me out?
TIA.
Unfortunately Battery Solo Widget has no charger notification..

Thought I'd bring this thread back to life.
I have a Nexus 4 and I'd like it make a notification sound when I connect/disconnect the USB charger.
The battery app mentioned before does not do this, and it seems Tasker is the only way.
Before I spend a lot of time learing Tasker, does anybody out there know if there is a Tasker script (or whatever it's called) already made for this job, or where I may find one?
Thank-you.
