I updated my phone yesterday using the update.zip method via the SD card and I must say I am very annoyed with what it's done to my great phone.
Everything on my phone is now super-laggy and it's driving me crazy. I could deal with this issue if it was isolated to one issue but everything is SLOW:
Screen Rotation is slow and sometimes the wrong layout, wtf?
Power button is slow to respond on wake, about 2 seconds.
SMS list takes a few seconds to populate, new msgs just sit there with a blank screen.
Navigation through the menu's is also slow and laggy.
I've wiped my phone after the initial upgrade and still it doesn't improve the issues I'm having. I haven't checked out the GPS or other features yet but I wouldn't be surprised if they had issues too.
Major thumbs down. With the constant Froyo talk around here you'd think something miraculous was being released, what a pile of ****.
I don't have any of those issues. Did you wipe before you installed? I noticed that when I installed it didn't touch my /data partition, once I saw that I went bck and did it again.

I also have none of those issues. the only issue i have seen is when joining contacts from facebook i get a force close.
Yeah, it's pretty buggy.
It doesn't let me dial *2 for customer service
Its mixed reviews. Mine workes almost perfectly. I'm happy wth it. Others arnt so lucky. Your milage may very.

My suggestion would be to use the rooted with clockwark tar. I was having some strange issues to after doing a .zip update and flashing the modem through Odin. Upon an entirely clean install from Odin it seems much better and my GPS came back.
There ARE a lot of quirks with Froyo. For one, the screen rotation is slow. Also, the browser has checkerboards all over the place.
With the browser, if you want the text to reflow, you have to pinch to zoom in to your desired size and then double tap the screen for the text to reflow and fit the screen. I kind of like that feature myself, but it took me a while to figure it out.
Why are people still using the stock browser anyway when there are better alternatives out there? I use dolphin ever since I had my moment running 1.5.
As far as the rotation, I have no issues with that anymore with DK17 or DK28
I flashed my phone with a zip and it had issues with browser checkers and slow rotation. I flashed my sister's with the full .tar from briefmobile. Hers doesn't have these issue.
Did my flash with the odin tar, and haven't had any problems...

Dolphin is horrendous looking and it takes up half of the screen with its useless junk UI. Stock browser destroys Dolphin.
My point is there are other options then the stock browser, which browser you use is a matter of opinion
I haven't had any problems so far...
wiped 3x, wiped cache, and dalvik.
Flashed rom
wiped 3x, wiped cache, and dalvik.
Flashed rom again.
I use Dolphin HD and its the best i've used imo. Easy swipe for bookmarks, make it fullscreen if you don't like extra "junk ui". Tabs, ability to download audio from streams, skins and addons, you really can't complain. I've noticed the stock broswer doesn't let u change the uAstring?
So..
I just slid my Epic into my $40 SAMSUNG Multimedia dock looking forward to rocking some tunes out on the home stereo using the line out they told us on that little peice of paper in the packaging would work when Froyo is released.
Color me SHOCKED when I hit the play button and music played... Through the phone speaker and not the line out.
Seriously? This irritates me to no end..

I have to agree, I like the minimalistic stock browser. I don't have checker boards..never have noticed em...I have never seen reflow work perfectly on any mobile browser.

How'd you fix it? My screen won't rotate on the home screen unless I pop open the keyboard..yet it works perfectly fine in programs.
Flashed with tar file, keyboard now slow and unresponsive, skips letters every 5-10 strokes, annoying as hell, browser rotation slow.. everything else somewhat fast. gps works.
keyboard issue is a huge thumbs down from me though

It does if you use this modified version. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9263247&postcount=57
The UaString is always shown in the menu with this one.
1.Remove stock browser(I used Titanium)
2. Flash this one with recovery
Not having any of the issues mentioned here, I'm on the SPH-D700-DK17-Extended Rom flashed

My screen doesn't want you shut off with the new update. The screen turns off then back on when the lock screen initiates
Sent from my time burning device!
On DK28, I get random lock ups (requiring a battery pull) and reboots.
I flashed DK28 after a full wipe, then Ti'ed all the apps back (I have an Evo with almost exactly the same apps and set up with no problems).
I use Autostart to keep non-necessary apps from starting, it is not a low-memory issue.
I know I can wipe and go full stock, or remove apps one at a time, but that is not the point of this post.
I would like to know if there are system logs or troubleshooting tools that can potentiallly identify which process, service, or application that caused the hang. Does the device perform a memory dump? Can it be debugged? I'm very curious about what is happening at the moment of the lock-up so I can address it properly.
Thanks.
Im having the same issues. But this only started happening after I flashed the dk28 modem. I was running the dk17 modem fine without dk28 toms. So im not sure why the devs were saying we NEEDED to use the dk28 modem. My gps and everything was working fine. Im going to try and downgrade back

Thanks. Glad to know I'm not the only one. Let me know how your back-rev to DK17 goes. I cleared the delvik cache last night, just to see if it makes a difference.
do you happen to have the DK17 AOSP lock screen? That was my issue and the new version cleared it up.

Not here. I have full DK28 ROM & radio. I'm using pattern lock (which is AOSP) that disables Samsung's lock screen.
There's 2 apps I've used to check out what's going on behind the scenes in the logs (both free on market):
OS Monitor: I use to check out the load of each process/service. You can also drill down to watch the logs of a specific one realtime and filter results by severity.
ALogcat is another useful app that gives you all of the logs lumped together- useful if you want to look and see what happened at a specific point in time.
You can export the logs out of both apps. Hope that helps

Yeah, not sure if I was clear. I have the DK28 rom and radio, but the aosp lock I was using was for dk17 and it would cause random soft reboots. Finding the updated aosp for dk28 fixed my problem. There is a thread in the theme section with the updated aosp lock screen.

Thanks. I have both apps, but not sure if I can go back and read the logs after a boot. Do you know if there is an error log or crash dump when the phone locks up/reboots?

Twice recently, my phone saw a hard lock-up mid-texting. I had to do a battery pull. Based on that, I'm not sure if the lock screens apply to me.
I'm hoping that Samsung/Sprint will release the final soon. These random lockups are driving me nuts.
Kind of a pointless post but if anyones interested heres my observations thus far from flashing the three things i listed below. I'm really enjoying it overall. So I dont know which has the problems.. I have DJ05 modem, Stock DJ05 rom unrooted, and geeknik superfast (always current) test release kernal.
Tetris is broken no matter what I do... (I paid for it :'c ) tried restoring it with titanium... installing with the apk from my friends phone / putting the apk in the apps folder... and even downloading the similar one from the apps market. No go they either dont show up or freeze on boot up. i loved that version of tetris! QQ
V. Visual voicemail, for some reason when my face gets close to the sensor it turns off my visual voicemail. so ?I can only use it with speakerphone and face up. I know google voice does the same thing, I like VVM.
Swype... when I correct a word it will one in five times put the corrected word at the end of the paragraph instead of replacing the highlighted word. cant figure out why
as for the good. reception seems more reliable... 3g seems more reliable... phone feels faster... battery lasts longer... gps works properly... life is good
one day when we get proper flash, i will be truly happy!
Very odd regarding swype, mine worked perfectly after DJ05 update. JT's new clean DJ05 has the updated swype, you should install that and see if it fixes your problem. Good luck
Can someone check a possible bug for me, go to either email\gmail click on settings and then click on select ringtone, do you get a FC?
Tetris plays fine for me.

everything works great for me ...when I installed dj05 modem then got to the clockwork menur when to the partion menu before flashing & I mounted the system data then the flashed super clean v.9 rom with stupid fast oc kernel evything works fine dont know about VVW cant stand it bloat ware swyp A ok
"It works fine for me as long as I have previously enabled the Email notifications check box."
I second that.
Dj05 actually solved some really weird shutdown/startup behavior I had.
A lot of times I'd power down my phone and it would start right back up again... sometimes it would take a really long time or just freeze powering down. Weird stuff like that........ all fixed
I think geekniks has the updated swype as well because its different... there seems to be more spacing between the letters. swype in general is being really weird. I might try JT's...... I think geekniks is built off JTs though
not sure.
Overall, I'm loving DJ05. I have 2 problems so far, both minor.
Video player and My Uploads FC on boot up (solved this by deleting both, lol)
I tried different leak rom before,
and right now I am using official froyo
Every time after starting up the system, or after mounting the SD card,
when the media scanning is finished, launcherpro is not responding and hanging.
Anyone got the same thing?

I think another update is coming soon for lp. I sometimes get a lockup and fc in 2.1 with lp

I have the same thing, it's so annoying that I switched to Zeam. Hopefully a new update will come soon.
Same thing happens to me. I am running official Rogers Froto on my AT&T Captivate. I tried looking in the logs for something, but I couldn't find anything. Send a emails to the developer.
Yea I've tried like 20 roms.always locks up and force closes after reboot. Sometime it sits for like 5 mins before the fc message pops up. I have the plus version and running Axura 2.2.7.1 Voodoo.contacted tech support about it and he said that its my rom.can't be. tried 20 different Roms.pisses me off.

I have had this happen a couple of times as well. However, I have noticed that it only happens when I try to start opening things or moving between home screens before the media scanning has finished. If I let it do its thing, then it doesn't seem to hang ever. Still kind of annoying, and I don't know if that is the case with you all as well, but that seems to be what causes it on mine.

Nope because I always wait till the media scanner is done.but it still locks up and a fc message pops up.even let it sit for like 20 mins before but was still stuck until it errored out and fc again.they need to fix the dam bug.I even got the plus version.

LP runs fine for me, but I'm having a problem having it stick as the default launcher. Whenever I use Titanium Backup or long-press the home button, I'll get the prompt asking me which home application. There are a couple of other apps that result in the same problem, but I can't think of them off the top of my head. I've tried using Home Switcher to see if that fixes it, but no luck. I have the same problem with ADW EX.
This is happening to me as well.
If it locks up, try repeatedly hitting home, usually will give me a prompt to wait or fc. I never get this issue on my galaxy tab and it's running 2.2

Looks like there is enough evidence to show them launcher pro has some kind of problem in vibrant 2.2
This happens to me as well. Hold the hime button then go to task manager and kill lp.

When lp acts funny for me I hit the power button then unlock it and that usually works for me.
LauncherPro has worked great on my device with 2.2 (Nero V5) the only time I seem to notice anything is when the media scan is finishing its thing and there are to many apps running at start up in the background. I use advance task killer to kill the apps that do not need to be running and I never seem to have the problem again until I reboot. It doesn't seem to me to be a LauncherPro issue, media scan seems to bring the device to its knees until it is finished. Once my device is running smooth I never seem to have that issue again only after I reboot my device.
Love my Vibrant and LauncherPro Plus is far better then all the other Launchers I have tried (in my humble opinion) but each of us have different needs I guess. I actually use almost everyone of the widgets and can not wait for the update coming when the gmail widget will be added to the Launcher.
cheers

Yes this is what i do everytime after starting up...
But still so annoying and the should fix it.
So just to update on the topic I downloaded Launcher Pro again today and everything works well. No hanging after reboot and no other problem from what I've seen. You guys may want to give it a try.

I was using Nero5 and got the same problem FC alot in LauncherPro. I couldn't save the LP settings though. What seemed to fix it is removing LP and reinstall it. After that, things seem to work better and less FC with LP.
I'm using stock Froyo now with fresh LP install from the market, no FC so far. So I would say it's not LP always hanged in 2.2...but something is stuck or got carried over from previous installation/ROM. Just try remove it and reinstall LP again from Market, it should work better - at least for me, it did.

Same thing happens to mu phone on adw ex... when i turn my phone off and turn it back on, the screen goea blank, i can only see the notification bar scanning, but would hang on black screen then shuts off by itself.. that's with stock ka7.. now im on ka6 kies version and my phone is fine...
or maybe the cause was the lock screen? I used the pin code lock screen.. it could be it? Now im on ka6 official and with pattern lock screen, it seems fine... and i domt wanna try and use any other lock screen besides the pattern one. Ive done countless reflash because o this issue.. so no more flashing, lol.. but i could be wrong though, it could be something else that's causinrit, just speculating..
The only time I've experienced a FC of any kind on LPP, is when I had Colorize running with it. They don't play nice together. Other than that, it's been 100% stable for me with any rom.
Flashed this the other day. Very happy with the results, especially the improvements to the stock web browser...except it randomly hangs. IE: I can browse to several sites with no problem, then for no reason the browser will stop working. It doesn't crash or force stop, it just won't load the page. The status bar will get stuck like 1/4 of the way and stay there forever. All other internet conencted apps work fine, just the browser stops working. Even Dolphin browser works...it makes no sense. The only way to fix it is to reboot the tab. Then it will be fine for a little while and it will happen all over again.
I was having this problem and only had to close the browser in the recent apps list and then restart the browser and it was ok. Not perfect but workable.
This was on latest Megatron and kernel 16b, then I installed Guevnor 17c kernel last night and so far I am not having this problem but I havent used my TF that much. Lets hope that the problem is gone.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. Yeah, I tried removing the browser from the recent apps and it doesn't work. I believe one time I closed the browser, and went and messed with some other apps and came back to it a few minutes later and it worked...but that's not a workable solution lol! No other app loses it's internet connection. I've installed Dolphin HD but I prefer to use the stock browser since there are some compatibility issues with the Dolphin on sites like facebook.
Go into Settings>Apps and find the browser (it doesnt have to be in the "running" list) and hit "force stop"..........
should get you running without having to reboot. experience the same thing aswell.
same issue for me every now and then. Advanced task killer in the quick apps is working for me plus its convenient having it right on the bottom of my screen at all times
I can confirm on mine with kernel 17c that it is giving me no problems - I also put my sdcard back in the dock because all other kernels I was having SOD with the sdcard, now it is working fine.

This was the main reason I went back to the stock based ROMs, All the AOSP roms exhibited this issue for me. None of the kernels made any difference. I am using v22 on revolver now with no issues. Hopefully the AOSP build will figure this out soon.
Honetslty constantly task killing is not a good answer

Try Gummy rom with ics browser+ (free on the market)rather than the stock browser........almost identical browser but better. And Gummy doesnt have any issues for fast browsing, its the fastest of Aosp roms out there - works well with Guevor 22.
Heres a link to the latest nightly 11/06/2012 Gummy Nightly
Flash the kernel straight after the rom then reboot before flashing Gapps
I've seen this happen with every ICS ROM I've tried, at some point or other.
I use chrome beta, stock just doesn't cut it. I used to have a dedicated 'kill browser' button on my statusbar before I made the switch.
I'm having the same problem where it does the hang on all browsers I have tried on Megatron. Also pages are taking forever to load which is incredibly annoying. I am using Guevors' test(the latest)
Well, I tried the few different recommendations here and nothing worked. Not only that, but even Dolphin and Chrome (which sucks anyway) would
become unresponsive and stop loading pages after a few minutes of use. Luckily those didn't require a full reboot to fix but it was still highly annoying to have to kill the browser and go back to whatever I was looking at....which was usually several clicks in to a page. I couldn't deal with it anymore. Flashed revolve 4.1.1 last night with guevors 22.6 kernel. No bubbles no troubles. i tried really hard to like megatron...but after months of dealing with this dumb issue I have moved on. : /
