Ever since I have my HTC Magic on Vodafone UK, I have that utterly annoying issue of Magic's internal browser reloading webpages that were previously loaded and switched into background. Simple example: I load a webpage, making sure it's fully loaded. Then I go back to home screen, play around with icons or other apps etc., or open new browser window and load another page. After short while, when I go back to that first loaded page (already fully loaded and sitting in the background) - I get blank browser window, and page gets reloaded from the scratch. Uber-annoying, especially when I try to get few pages pre-loaded for later reading while in the Tube.
There is a bug floating around Android's bugtrack: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2171 - however I was wondering whether other Magic users are experiencing same thing and if there's any workaround for this?

Is it a bug or is it just that the web browser has been moved off RAM to make space for another application so that when its re-opened, it has to reload everything again.
If you load a website that is just text only without any graphics or javascript and then go to another application and come back, it will not be reloaded, because the footprint is small.

Yes, I can understand this point of view, however I'd still regard this as a bug, or at least as a feature that massively undermines user experience as for internet-centric mobile device...
In fact, this is the very first device I've had in my hand that has such 'feature', in every other phone or internet tablet (like Nokia N810) that has multi-window browser, I am able to load many webpages simultaneously and keep them persistent in the background. The new and shiny, internet-centric HTC Magic suddenly offers that 'magic' feature of saving RAM at a cost of utterly horrendous user experience...

Anyway, content should then have been cached on sdcard (or internal memory).
have you tried swapper?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=483110
that extends the internal ram out to flash so maybe that will help.
Seems to work fairly well. I can have imeem streaming and other stuff and the browser pages still stay in "memory" and aren't reloaded.

Good idea, but I'd need to root my phone first, which is actually quite good excuse to do it.

yeah, i've been using it for a few hours and once everything is loaded into memory and swap, and its not bad and I haven't encoutered a browser page reload yet.
Of course when a swap from flash to memory occurs, there's a pretty significant pause, but thats to be expected.
Just a quick update, I've finally managed to install swapper and set the swap space to 32MB. It helps to the issue, however when many other windows are opened, there is still that reloading issue...
I guess it's not a bug, but just a feature of Android and its 'clever' memory management. Fingers crossed that they would improve it in future versions...
I have tried to like 2.1 (Thanks Damage for the almost perfec ROM). My majoe issue with ti is the non-working Facebook integration but another issue really bugs me:
Whne using the Browser in 2.1 many mobile sites come up zoomed WAY out and completely unusuable unless you double-tap to zoom in. I tried changin te mobile view option in settings with no avail. These are the two sites that I use on a regular basis where it happens (probably more but didn't test):
http://m.facebook.com
http://matrixwireless.mris.com (site I use regularly in the field for my job)
In 1.5 these two sites come up perfectly formatted but in 2.1 they both come out with such small text its unreadable.
Any ideas if this can be fixed or if its an issue that inherent to the HTC browser in Android 2.1. If so looks like I'll be staying on 1.5 or the forseeable future.
Try Dolphin Browser, it's great! ^^(unless you absolutely MUST use HTC's browser, but I fail to see why, unless Dolphin doesn't support flash... I haven't needed flash on my hero at all)

*** True Story ***
I am a member on Dell's community forum and have watched Dell's mouthpiece, Amy-B, post the lies and put up the smoke and mirrors regarding this for a while now. When she first announced that the update would begin on 11/15, I paid closer attention. By the end of the week when there was no update, I commented that users may have a potential class action suit. With that, I got a scathing email from Dell saying I violated their terms of use, some left handed subtle threats, and my post was deleted. I still laugh about that.
End True Story, my ongoing review below
I put 2.2 on last night and played with it for a little while before bed, then really started putting it to the test today. here's what's happened until now.
First, when I applied the update, it kept a lot of previous settings and applications rather than clean wiping. It also bypassed forcing me to login to google account, so when I tried to use the market, it couldn't. With that, I used my credentials to login to my google account and immediately started having some google calendar syncing error. It became a loop, each time asking me to report it, then asking me to force close the app, and then over and over the same thing. So I rebooted the streak, and it came up with the same exact issue not allowing me to do anything with it. I had to pull the battery to shut it down this time and when I get it all together to power up, I simply held the up/down volume keys and told it to do a factory reset.
The rom cooks itself into the streak as the factory install and 2.2 came up on the next boot, this time asking for google credentials. It worked that time, and I was ready to put the phone through it's motions.
Issues I've found
1. Voice Dialer via Bluetooth crashes each time I try to use it. It crashes to the point that it tells me to restart my phone. This is without fail.
2. swiping to unlock the phone, or pattern unlock are flaky. it will start then stop as if I've taken my finger off. I have to do it multiple times and crazy ways to make it work. Pattern lock same thing. Especially after coming out of my pocket... as if the heat from my body makes my finger not be recognized on the whole screen. This build makes the touchscreen no longer responsive as it was in 1.6... update, I've tested this over and over and over. yes, it seems to be the temperature, because if I blow on the screen to cool it, or something similar, the screen becomes instantly responsive to my touch. I never had this problem with 1.6 regardless of when I pulled it out of my pocket.
3. sometimes, changing screens gets choppy or laggy.
4. No widget bar or tray/drawer that allows you to turn BT or Wifi on or off. You have to get something from the market to do this (updated, this is available as a widget, I should open my eyes a bit)
5. Can't change the number of screens; can't add or subtract screens, stages, rooms, or whatever you choose to call it. You're stuck with 7, the center one being the default.
6. Multiple FC's for variety of reasons, many are while simply browsing the market. With that Microsoft-esque error reporting thing always popping up, I think they anticipated feeding garbage to the masses.
7. Have tried a few alternate launchers. Some are better than others, more functional etc.. .but no matter how weak an alternate launcher appears to be, they pretty much ALL beat StageUI
Likes
1. Have always liked the live wallpapers that we were introduced to in 2.1
2. landscape mode rights itself regardless of which side is facing up. could be a caveat since it puts the home/back/menu buttons upside down on the left instead of right with the hard buttons on the bottom, but still kind of cool nonetheless.
4. Support for Exchange is native and doesn't require additional software/applications.
the long and the short of it.. Dell is useless as an OS developer/tweaker and StageUI blows.
Samsung hit the homerun with it on its Galaxy S series. I was just at best buy, and the Galaxy Tab is pretty sweet but the price tag is ridiculous. Comparing 2.1 of my Vibrant with 2.2 on my streak, the Vibrant wins. no contest.
Day one of having the new 2.2 update on there and it's clear that this OS needs some patching already. I can only imagine what the people on O2 in the UK had to go through with their 2.1 fiasco
more to follow...
Here's a couple of things that I like in this build but before I list the items I wanted to address the comment you made about being able to turn of BT, wi-fi, GPS, brightness, etc. Under apps you can select Power Control and that will give you those options in a form of a widget. You do, however, will have to delete one of the Stage widgets to free up the room. Or you can just open the widget via apps. For my use, I currently prefer a different launcher than Stage. I am using the LauncherPro but there are a lot of other free choices like ADW, Zeam and so on.
Here are the things I like about this build:
1. Ability to hang up the call by pressing the power button ( you have to go to Settings-Accessibility-then check the mark for that option)
2. Radio feature - is absolutely great. The thing I don't like is the web ad that seems to pop every time I start listening to a station. If anyone knows how to turn/block that pop-up you would make me very happy )
3. Keyboard is awesome. Love the size, the options to switch to symbols, just love it. Haven't messed with SWYPE but I love the Andriod KB right now.
4. Flash - yes it works and it works well.
5. Speed - significantly faster. Whether navigating or downloading. Wi-fi speeds are faster than 1.6 or 2.1 I use to have.
6. Bluetooth volume is louder. This one was high on my priority list.
7. Music widget - looks nice and clean.
8. Camera works fine. I don't see an option for 720p though.
9. Security is beefed up by adding the option for PIN or password on top of the normal sliding lock. My slider works without any issues. But I prefer the pattern lock which also works great.
10. Haptic feedback can't be completely turned off, or you can turn off certain features alone like keyboard. I have mine off so the three main buttons don't vibrate any more. I don't think that option was available in the previous builds but I could be wrong.
These are the ones that I can think of right off the bat. I may add more as I remember them.

Long press home, then under widgets, then power control... thanks tons. that's what I was looking for.
So my quick review:
The good:
Loving the out-of-the-box Exchange support. Yay. Mobile e-mail/calendar/contacts without having to use Touchdown and the hassle of 'pushing' Touchdown contacts to the phone's contacts.
w00t. Ability to grab requiring apps from the market which require 2.x.
2.x features like portrait home screen, better multi-touch, etc.
The bad:
The Stage UI is just lame. Giving it a few days before I toss it in the bin.
I miss the old video playing app. I dunno what it was called, but there isn't even a shortcut for the new one. I installed ASTRO File Manager, browsed to my video directory and the file launched with some less-than-basic video player. What I liked about the old one was the order-by-date view which I have become used to but isn't the end of the world, the resume where you left off feature, and the delete from within the app feature. I guess Rock Player is the video player most people seem to be recommending, so I hope it has this.
For all its faults, I liked the old keyboard. I suspect it's still there, but I have yet to look. Using 2 (To/two/too) and 4 (For/four), etc in txt/IM/tweets now takes extra keypresses.
I never really knew how handy the Dell notification area was for 1.6. I'd turn off the cellular data and run Wi-Fi only, with just a couple of presses and it wouldn't interrupt the app I was in. Now I have to go to the home screen, press the menu button, and that's only to turn off wireless. I have yet to find the equivalent enable/disable for 3G.
Yet to check:
I've found the Streak's camera has taken pretty lame photos. I'm not photophile, but our 5 year old, 4MP camera takes better photos than the Streak. I've had the Streak set to the best quality (Lowest compression or whatever it was) and if you zoom in on a picture while viewing on a PC, it gets pixelated very quickly, while our 4MP pics are much nicer looking and they are twice the file size (4MP pic twice the file size of a 5MP pic?), so I'm interpreted this as 'The Streak takes crappy pics'. Been waiting to see what, if anything, the upgrade to 2.2 does for this.
So I guess it seems to lack polish, BUT, I think the reason for this is because it's actually near-to-bare Android, so I'm not going to criticise the roughness when the other option is more polish (Which one may or may not like) from Dell that means OS updates take 6+ months. I'm sure I'll be able to overcome anything I'm not liking with apps or through tweaking some options somewhere. Isn't this why we have Android?
But yeah. Stage is coming off pretty quick I suspect.
PS - You all might laugh: http://i.imgur.com/ULMLx.png
This build was far too laggy for my tastes. 1.6 was faster on some of the processes for me. I'm happily back on DJ Steve's build which is soooo much faster and has virtually the same features.

Something I'm surprised is:
2.2 doesn't have separate sounds for incoming:
E-mail
Texts
Reminders
...I dunno if iOS does, but my old Windows Mobile device did. I'd like a different sounds for these events, as I'll respond to them differently. Now I don't know if it's a calendar reminder which I can't ignore, a text which I might ignore or an e-mail that I can ignore...

Try "Quick Settings" which puts an icon in your status bar so when in an app, just drag down the status bar click on it and all your settings are there. Or, try "QuickDesk". Not sure if this is out of beta yet but its also an awesome app for doing exactly what you are talking about.....and much more.
Cant wait to get my Streak and to start rockin this 2.2. Would love to have vanilla 2.2 though.
as you are on 2.2 now , can you check something for me ?
- can flashled from camera be used as torchlight ?
- it should have usb tethering now, but does it also do wifi-tethering ?
- can the flashplayer play activescript ?
- is activesync (not exchange) working ?

Yes the led can work as a flashlight. I used the N1 Torch app and it worked fine.
Yes it does have wifi tethering.
I really miss the 1.6 menu bar/notification bar. Stage blows compared to the old ui. The swype keyboard is great. I have mixed feelings about the update mainly because of the ui changes.

Alright. Others have answered, but I'll pass on what I know. If you're talking Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) not talking to an Exchange server, a la Hotmail, I'm getting a "cannot connect to server" error... My EAS to work's Exchange is working flawlessly though.
And USB/Wi-fi tethering are working grand. I'm tethered by Wi-fi as I write this, so I can pass my 3G USB modem on to a colleague. w00t.
I am a little concerned about battery life. I haven't done that much with the phone today, unlike a normal day where I might squeeze in a few calls, texts, tweets, bit of web browsing, and three+ hours of video and have the battery at 20% at the end of the day. I'm at 20% left now, and I haven't done any of those things.
thnx
have you tried hotmail through POP3 ? it worked with k9 client.
what i meant is activesync on windows 7 64bit with office 2010 32bit.
yeah batterylife concerns me also. i have a habit of draining these in godspeed (A)
You can create a shortcut to the wifi & networks popup from launcherpro activities.

Kinda. You still have to go from the app you're in out to the home screen, turn it on/off, and then go back to your app. But thanks for the info.
I realize the NST eink display is too slow to play back video and it lacks audio hardware.
But why does trying to play video cause the whole thing to lock up?
If I go to the youtube app or youtube.com or any other web video for that matter, the screen turns black
and it hard freezes and I need to hold down the power button on the back to turn it off.
What I am wondering is what is the technical reason?
I'm not sure about the technical part, but it does matter if you have the only available Flash installation as well as the browser you are using. Opera Mobile will balk at Flash, mostly refusing to even accept the touch input or throwing up a message saying, in effect, "no way". The Dolphin 10.x series browser will display Flash content in some circumstances, either using the embedded player, or an external player like MX. Some videos in some situations seem to invoke the native Flash players (maybe Flash Lite?) that comes with the triple-Flash plugin installation. This results in a black screen (although touching the screen sometimes shows the controls) from which it is very difficult to recover without a hard reset.
I wrote a more detailed post on the Flash issue with Opera Mobile and Dolphin awhile back here.
Bottom line: it's hardly worth the effort, even with FastMode or NoRefresh. It's just a "let's see if I can do this" thing.

Well okay. I am having this problem with HTML5 videos on Opera Mobile
but I think the same thing happens in dolphin. The problem with dolphin is sometimes the page doesn't render
after going somewhere and I need to open a new tab and sometimes it still doesn't render and I need to close and open it again.
Its annoying for sure.

It's a shame that the Nook does not have Bluetooth.
That would only require a trivial change to a single IC.
It's a shame that the Nook only has 256M RAM, hardly adequate.
It's a shame that the Nook is pretty much orphaned.

Ok now I have somewhat of an unrelated question.
In elixr 2 I see "Dialer storage" and "com.bn.demomode" using 11MB of RAM each
Since this isn't a phone and doesn't have a dialer is it possible to get rid of those and gain some free memory?
Go for it. Neither of those apps are needed for the Nook to work correctly.
You can also delete:
Phone.apk
TelephonyProvider(s).apk
PicoTTS.apk (and the other one like it, they're Text To Speech apps)
DeviceRegistrator.apk
Launcher.apk
NookHWTest.apk
Music.apk
Gallery.apk
You can delete more, but if you still want all the B&N functions (like me) don't delete much else. For example, DeviceManager.apk is necessary!

Thank you.
I deleted Phone.apk, TelephonyProvider.apk and DemoMode.apk and there doesn't seem to be any negative effects.
And my cold boot RAM free went from 100MB free to 118MB free
Not a huge difference but hey 18 more MB is 18 more MB and with 256 RAM you need every bit.
I also removed Music.apk since it doesn't serve any purpose without audio output. I don't have PicoTTS.apk
Now every boot dolphin browser starts a service. Is there a way to disable it without uninstalling dolphin?
It isn't needed because dolphin works even if I kill it
Grab ES Task Manager and find the "Startup Manager" option in the menu. Tap it, then scroll down the list until you see a Dolphin-related app. Go to the far-right of the Dolphin listing and tap the "x" to remove it from startup programs.
