Can anyone confirm that this awesome little app will break your installs.
I installed it then locked the screen and It wouldnt come back on although i could hear sounds
I am using darkstone's froyo v1 with the 03 cotulla zimage.
thanks.
Reopened thread, OP believes this is not build specific let the dev discussion begin
Just looking for experience's with this app It is a paid App and I wouldnt want anyone to get stuck with it if it causes problems specific to our ports!
I'm the dev of WidgetLocker. I use it on Froyo on my Nexus One and on my Droid Incredible. However I don't have an HD2. I'd be surprised if it's causing this problem but I'm happy to support it/fix a bug if there is one. The current release does sometimes leave the system keyguard in a weird state.
hazard99, shoot me an email (or PM but include your email address) if you want to be a beta tester. I'm planning on releasing it in a day or two anyway, but it'd be nice to add an HD2 user to the beta team.
Will do I look forward to beta testing as a avid member of the hd2 Android community. I will email u in the am as it is 10: 00 pm here and I am at work. This is a great honor

hmm, I've got the Market-paid version of Widget Locker (was for my Milestone). Might give it a go on my darkstone-based froyo build on my Euro HD2 and see what happens.
EDIT: Just tested, could not replicate the issue described by hazard99. Only issue I had was that the standard froyo lockscreen would popup instead of the WidgetLocker lockscreen for the first few times I pressed a button to wake the phone, but afterwards that went away. Tested with both Easy Wake option enabled and disabled, version 1.0 of WidgetLocker. Default options (ie. unchecked) for everything else. I'm also using Darkstone v1 with 03/08 cotulla kernel.
I have no trouble using WidgetLocker on my HD2. Works exactly the same as on my Desire.

Hmm ill have to check again cause it went nuts with no image.

I just had the same experience - blank screen but the phone was responding.
Then I remembered that DroidExplorer on the PC has a tool called ScreenCast. Using it I was able to operate the phone and realise that WidgetLocker set the screen brightness to 0.. Strange that. Re-set it to auto and all is well now.
Maybe disable auto brightness if you got it on.
Regards Hieu.
Can one of you check if it's the brightness slider that sets the brightness to zero on the HD2? (I assume when trying to set it to dim). If this is the case I can increase the value for DIM when on the HD2.
I updated my friend's Droid X that was running stock 2.1. to 2.2 today and she is about to have a cow with her SMS program now. She's running the stock messaging app and when she gets a new message it is putting the message at the bottom of the screen, with previous messages by people above and below it. After she replies to the message it moves to the top of the screen. She has a friend who is encountering the same thing. I also tried to see if I could duplicate this in Chomp SMS and I did indeed encounter the same problem. Is anyone else running into this problem?
YES!
I thought it was just me. This has been driving me crazy. I'm on the .15 leak for what it's worth.
Same issue with handsent sms. Just about to unistall it....but I guess i'll just have to suffer with it.
same here .15
I've seen this on the last two leaks and the official 2.2. ChompSMS is way off (still) and Handcent works but is still a little buggy. Sometimes one or two convos are out of order. When I go to the stock SMS app, it's out of order there, too- so I assume it's a 2.2 bug. Along with the constant force closing when accessing Battery Manager.

Hello,
I updated to GOT 2.2 on my milestone but I have these problems:
- battery life is awful
- gmail not synchronised on most of the times. I have to clear data in settings in order to show the new messages
- launcher pro seems to start from scratch every time that I hit home button
Any help would be highly appreciated!

i am waiting android 2.2 of the offical version
i am thinking of going back to stock now, too many bugs in GOT and i am getting frustrated!
I figure it be a good place to try and list all the regressions in behavior we see in DK28.
can be used to list them / point out what changed and why its not really a regression, just have to change what we do.
I've noticed two things so far
1) Can't dial by last name in on screen keypad dialer, just first name. This is somewhat annoying (especially as my friends last names are more distinct than first names)
2) missing all my "other" calendars in calendar app. (i.e. I have facebook exported that way, along with holidays and some other stuff). Also doesn't let me select individual calendars that I want to list. I believe this might have a backup/restore issue. Just reset my phone and haven't restored anything from backup and have all my calendars.
This also seems to impact agenda widget. For some reason calltrack does work Part of me assumes I'm doing something wrong here.
Update:
Other regressions: (reported and verified by independent source)
3) Mediahub no longer works (requires you to update it from Market, but can't be found): noted: 12/5/2010 by jwhisl (Orbiting234: probably related to Market not recognizing DK28)
4) No way to prevent GPS data from being included in EXIF of Pictures if GPS is on: noted 12/5/2010 by styckx
One odd thing I noticed was with Dolphin browser. When holding the back button to bring up the exit menu it used to vibrate when it popped up. Now it does not. It still vibrated before I upgraded to froyo.
I know it is a little thing any meaningles but it threw my whole operating habits out of wack.

I've noticed that the Mediahub application no longer works. When I launch the app it tells me to install an update then sends me to the market. Unfortunately the market cant find the download I need so I cant watch any of my purchased media. The phone is also telling me that the media type is not supported.
Installed dk28 via zip and hard reset device to fix audio, camera, and memory card issues
might anybody have the update in apk or zip format?
Ok, this one is pissing me off. It seems you can no longer disable gps data getting lumped into you camera pictures.
Becareful! Turn off gps entirely unless you want you photos exif data containing your location.

I can use 4G in NYC, though I do notice when I reboot the phone that a similar thing happens, I just attribute it to be doing to omuch processing.
Besides Media Hub update not being found in marketplace, Car Home and Desk Home apps are unable to be found in the market either. Will probably all be worked out once DK28 is properly recognized by the market for these particular apps.
anyone notice the auto complete isn't working and only recognizes names in the contact list?
It failed my test. Just like the previous leaks, last.fm skips and jitters when browsing the web and playing music at the same time. As a matter of fact, music skips any time I do anything thqat even moderately taxes the cpu. My Evo does fine under the same conitions. Why, Samsung, why?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I'm kind of hoping that this is still a beta version and not final cause it still has some flaws compared to ecclair. I made a thread in the Developement forum about the problems I am having with dk28.
Slow rotation
Slower frame rate on notification drop down
Browser choppiness and checker boarding
etc.
media hub is an exclusive samsung galaxy app
some of the dk25 roms have nexus one signatures in the build.prop that is why is doesn't show it

Just tested this out and can confirm it. Last.fm skipping like a stone with web browsing. WTF. This never happened on 2.1

It seems to be putting my location in there even with gps off. I had to turn off the wifi location also just to get it to stop.
I downloaded the zip file last night when it was first posted on here. I had stock rom, changed the file name on my phone to update.zip, moved it to root folder, did the recovery and update. Everything is fine and I'm on froyo 2.2.1 now. I'm try to replicate the problems you guys are having, but I can't. The only problem I can replicate is the checkered box when zooming in and out. My hardware is .5 and I just bought the phone last month. I got my wifes at the same time and hers is doing just fine as well. Do you guys think that even though my hardware is .5 that there could be some differences in the phone since everything is still working better then 2.1 for me and my wife?

other issues i've noticed:
-new text message alert does not disappear when the text is viewed, only when text is entered as response.
-browser gradient at top (right below notification/status bar) disappears when scrolling and pops back on once done scrolling
-swype sucks after update
-browser does not auto hide keyboard once completed text imput and window refreshes
-as noted, the geotagging data on the pictures cannot be prevented even with gps off
all of these, on top of an ugly messaging app have caused me to do a complete factory reset just to get rid of the issues. i never had problems with 2.1 so i guess i'll stick with it until the final release.

you're able to dial from the dialer with someone's last name?
i.e. You have a Friend Joe Smith, you press
7 (for s)
6 (for m)
4 (for i)
...
and you get your friend joe smith? I just have it matching first name.

Last name doesn't work. I have to do it by first as well. Very annoying if you have more than two friends with the same fist name. That's the only one I can replicate.

Check your Swype Settings. [Speed vs. Accuracy] may be tuned for speed. Slide it over to the right and it should work better.
After using this for 8hrs now. I've come to the conclusion this release sucks a bag of .....
Crappy keyboard lag, last.fm skipping, the captivate buttons responsiveness has changed (for the worse), delayed screen rotation, camera writing exif gps data unless you disable gps and wireless location.
Overall this just runs and feels like pure junk. I was never one demanding and frothing for 2.2 and I'm glad I have backups of my 2.1 install and will be going back to it. I liked 2.2 at first until I really got to feeling it out.
Sure GPS is fixed but they screwed up 10 things in its place.

+1 on this sentiment. I am not having any issues like this. Now this is not a regression, but I noticed that there is still the cell standby issue that requires airplane mode toggle. I find that glitch to be really frustrating.
So I'm using swype on an unrooted device and when ever I trevor reboot my phone or some times just randomly the newest version of legit swype stops working, I reverted to the last version I was using and it fixed it.does anyone else have this issue and do you know how to fix it.
Thanks,

I'm using the beta now and think I'm having the same issue. Basically after a reboot I have to select the normal input method then select swype.
Last I looked on there forum it's a known issue with no solution at the moment. Something about when the licence is loaded is after the program and it generates a conflict. Iirc.
oh well, once its fixed il go to it currently I'm using 2.10

I am having the same issues with Swype. I am rooted but same issues.
I've always had that problem since I got my first legit copy of swype. It doesn't work after a reboot/startup. Just gotta change input, then change it back to swype. I'm on 2.15 swype currently.

Yea the hacked versions work better right now but once everything works right legit swype is going to destroy

Just checked that version out.. It looks like an old version of SWYPE. I found some other themed ones on Mobilism that look really nice.
This is their copy protection in action, and that bug has been there for several releases. Very annoying. They know about it.
This Issue is very annoying but I'm glad that Swype allowed me on the beta test group. If switching back and fourth text input apps don't work, I uninstall and reinstall Swype.

I am an official beta user....but this also pisses me off. They know for many releases and do not fix it. I would use a hack version if I wasn't so lazy to find one I liked.
The latest beta has somewhat of a fix for this.
If you keep the Swype Installer around, there is a button to Generate License. And that fixes the whole rebooting not recognizing device issue.
This bug seems to happen to me everytime I enter into Airplane mode, then reboot my phone.
Isnt it just faster to switch inputs takes less than 5 sec to switch to standard then back to swype. After that it is good till next reboot.
BTW I have a second DInc and the license would not register on the second device...wierd. I put SlideIT on it but may look for the hacked swype to solve both problems.
I use an old version of swype that is hacked even though I'm a beta user, because I cannot stand the switching inputs thing
Sent from my HTC Incredible
Recent version of myn's warm rls5 and up fixed the problem for me. Swype always works on boot, I hated the input method thing, yea it was simple and easy but I'm glad it's fixed for me at least.
Anyone else try myns yet?
