Just curiosity: Are people that are reporting "bugs" (though to me it sounds like apps that need to be updated for full compatibility with Froyo) running the OTA updated 2.2, or manually updated 2.2?
Edit: Changed name to Froyo(HACK) as recommended by someone since no one seems to be running a genuine OTA updated Froyo
Manually-updated using the official signed update from Google, for me. I don't have most of the bugs that have been reported here; the only one I'm currently aware of is that two applications I updated via the market this morning are no longer shown in the "Downloads" list, although they are labeled as "installed" when I search for them in the market. Other than that, no problems here.

No one on the entirety of XDA has upgraded via the OTA update. Everyone hacked.
(The OTA was press-only for people who attended Google I/O.)

I understand what you're saying.
However Google have released an OTA update to the MEDIA!
They'll grab this with both hands and show how the NEW messiah has fallen over again and how we should have all bought iPhones.....
I do believe this Froyo is HIGHLY unpolished and very dissapointing. It should have been released when it was fully ready.
I'm desperately trying to get back to CM but it seems to have screwed my phone and I'm stuck........

yoo mean a hack for a hack
I think I'll just wait for the official Google OTA.
Good thing that people around here are chasing up all the last minute bugs for Google though. I am sure they would prefer to see them now rather than after releasing it to the general public.

good point lol
I'm waiting for the official Google too
Yeah I updated with Paul's version and I would have stayed on froyo but having annoying camera bugs.
I dont think Google meant this as an actual release since you Market isn't allowing protected apps etc with the froyo fingerprint. etc.
So i'm back on Cyan and all is well with the world.
I did however keep the newer radio to test it out.
It would be great if someone around here could change EVERY thread title that mentions this version to FROYOHACK so that once the real official one is released, we dont have to wade through all this pre-release BS. I know it is not possible but just thought.
What were your camera bugs?
I did Paul's too and mine worked 100%. Still have the new radio and according to speed tests it is doing better than the old one

I've posted it in the general forum. QIK app didn't work and if you use the stock camera app and slide to the camcorder then BACK to the camera, N1 would crash.
I posted the logcat and it appears there are some incompatibilities somewhere deep. I tried every kind of wipe and 'band-aid' that I could to get it working and failed miserably.
But I figured since i'm on an AT&T N1 that this release wasn't intended for me and there must be some kind of subtle differences.
*shrug* we'll see.

One thing I have learn is a app has a widget and it is moved to the sdcard it will show install but not show. I moved these to the phone and they show now.

I don't know if it's a bug, but I can't find FM radio anywhere... and I believe it was announced.

Hah, as OP, I changed it. I didn't realize (though I had read it somewhere else) that the only people who got the OTA update were press/developers who went to I/O.
FOR THOSE JUST READING NOW: According to Paul (and where ever else I read online), anyone else with Froyo updated manually, so take current issues with a grain of salt.

The FM radio stuff was never announced OFFICIALLY. I do remember it being something rumored, but I don't ever remember Google saying it was an addition to Froyo. AND, even if it was announced, read my reiteration above about no normal consumers having the Official OTA update to Froyo.

Sort of ironic now, that people will avoid this thread in favour of ones without HACK in the title, as they will not want to accept that they have a hacked version on their device You cant win I guess.
So before I did this, my SGS had been lagging and on at least two occasions totally froze me out forcing me to remove the battery (one time I was just browsing Google Reader and it stuck mid scroll, never recovered).
While it may have been a result of adding/removing apps and generally that playground phase of the first few days, I wanted to resist flashing to a new firmware and wait for something official to show up in Kies.
So, I'm still running XXJF3 which is the firmware it shipped with. All I did was:
1. Factory default the phone
2. Root
3. Install and run MinFreeManager (from the market - it requires root). Accepted the MinFreeManager default values.
So far so good, I have re-installed all my apps, and been running almost two days with no discernable annoyances and certainly no crashing (but like I say, early days but I remain quietly optimistic my phone has stabilised).
Basically MinFreeManager seems to apply and enforce better memory management than default stock settings. No task killer needed if Eclair is doing it right in the first place (which I suspect under XXJF3 it is not).
Anyway, thought I'd post in case it helps someone else out. The process for rooting is in the pinned FAQ I think, if not it's not hard to find and not hard to do.
Minfreemanager would not run at boot on my sgs,ive heard others report the same. Try autokiller instead if you have issues.

yea autokiller does the exact same thing but applies at boot too.
Try to flash WJG5! i have no issues with that software! i have been using it for 3 days now and it's very stable!

I keep hearing that some apps won't appear in the Market because it's not a fingerprint Google allows?
Anyway, now I'm rooted I may backup my protected apps and give WJG5 a go when I get some spare time and a Windows box for Odin .. (OS X here)
I could do with less apps in the Market, less for me to spend my money on
Don't worry about the apps. You can get them back easily. Just search the development forum for ". prop" and you will find the fix. Or search under my posts. One of them has the fix in. Not that I take any credit for finding it though.
Jg5 is the best firmware. Currently 0 problems with it.

You read wrong. You can install any firmware as long as it was meant for your model. The letters only stand for month of production. The latest non-froyo firmware is XWJM7, XXJFF is very old, like this thread.
Updated sucessfully to Froyo! Everything runs great.... Except that I can't connect to the market.
I get a time out error/can't connect. Gmail and all other apps have no issues.
I have tried this solution:
http://www.droid-life.com/2010/06/12/tip-market-app-issue-in-froyo/
and, this solution:
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/team-chaos/49974-market-update-fix-froyo-leaked-version-2-a.html
without success. The second one caused a boot loop and I had to re-flash .604 via SBF/RSD.
Anyone have any suggestions or a fix for the DroidX?
Both of those links were for the droid. Im have the same issue though.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I was aware that they were for the Droid... I was just hoping that they would work for the DX.... although after looking at the build.prop files I now realize that was a REALLY STUPID NOOB error.
I guess I was hoping that the .zip's contained some code that would change a setting and not RR the whole file.
If someone knows what setting needs to be changed please let me know. For now, I'll have to go back to 2.1 if I can't get the market.
I don't think its an X on Froyo issue, Markets not working on my EVO and X
Google server error?
Other Android users(non-Droid X Froyo users) have reported the same issue in another forum. Seems to be a "Google side" error. Probably just maintenance because of all the Froyo releases this month.

yea I noticed that there are about 3 apps that I can no longer access, although my buddy's captivate has no problem finding them.
This is still a HUGE ****ing problem. What the hell is going on? I've counted 6 apps I've tried to find in the market now but can't...
One of the people in the Google thread was saying they could now reach their desired protected app. Still no joy for me though (trying to download the ESPN Radio app and an app for my bank.) Very frustrating.
The whole marketplace access model seems kind of odd even though I kind of understand why it's there. But it seems there should be a better way to handle it, especially for larger partners/OEMs with a higher volume of updates. I haven't followed it closely enough, but I wonder if WP7's market will handle the process the same way. They've certainly thought through the overall OS update process much better (i.e., putting carrier/OEM software additions into a walled off silo.)
So what must be it...
I've been trying to figure out why I haven't been able to find Paypal or Blackboard Mobile Learn on the market for the last couple of days. I guess those fall under protected apps as well then?

Seems to be working now (at least, I was able to find the ESPN radio app that wasn't available earlier.)
Yep fixed, I see my missing paid apps now
Working for me too. I hope they coordinate better next time.

To start this off, I want to say that this is an awesome community full of great people willing to help others. It takes this sort of open source sharing to come together for the greater good. That is why I want to make a thread to document my experiences so that it may help others and myself.
As of yesterday, I started using froyo 2.2.2 by joshkoss. This update is probably the best of all of them and I like it much better than 2.2.1, which is what I previously had installed. Having said that, there are still some problems, which I almost find enjoyable to discover how to fix.
Throughout most of my updates, my GPS has been slow to connect. Finally on 2.2.2 it is impossible to establish a connection and everytime I turn on GPS it always asks me to 'Accept' or 'Cancel' the agreement. I've never had this happen before. Anyone know what to do about that?
Beyond this issue, I wanted to try this fix by ciscogee. I have gotten all the way to the point on ADB tools that in my cmd prompt I can type 'adb devices' to show me my devices serial number. For me, it ends there. As soon as I can figure out how to do this fix step by step for a beginner I will type it out in this thread. I am using Android SDK.
Another problem with this 2.2.2 update is that my banking app no longer works and it force closes right after start up. Then when I try to send a report, that also force closes. It worked on 2.2.1 so Im sure it has something to do with it.
So as of right now this is where I'm at. I hope I can help some people out with their Continuum. I just dont have the detailed knowledge of the inner workings to really bring something to the table, but I hope to at least help someone else out and learn something in the process.
My Wells Fargo app quit working when I switched over to EC07 and I haven't been able to pinpoint what the problem is. I posted my problems in another thread, but basically I had several apps that were FCing when I tried to use them. I did logcat on them, and based on the errors I got from there, I think is has something to do with the apps trying to access data either over 3G or wifi.
Never got any further than that though.
That's weird. Did you have problems reporting the failure? Ill have to try out that log app and see what I can find out. Hopefully ill have something later today.

I tried the hacked browser and it didn't change anything on my phone. Both the stock browser and TB's hacked one FC as soon I tried load a page.
One thing I did notice though, was that the browser would let me surf the web just fine. It was when I tried to log into any account; Wells Fargo, Google, etc.,that it would FC. Don't know if that means anything or not. Wonder if it is the same reason some banking apps aren't working. Could it have something to do with using secure connections?
Just a thought.

Ok, after reading some old posts, I think I may have found a connection with the FC issues and certain apps. It seems that there were alot less FC problems when using the EC03 baseband vs. the EC06 baseband.
Does anyone know what the differences are between the two?
I've said it before, but; I don't know much about programming, language, kernals, etc. but I can see patterns. And what I have seen is that most of the apps with FC problems are trying to access network data, and alot of those seem to be secure connections (such as banking apps). Someone said before that it is hard to know what the real problem is because everyone uses different apps, but I have seen the same apps listed as causing problems with several different users here over and over again. So that makes me think that there is an underlying problem causing these issues.
Like I said, I don't know much, but this seems like the problem to me, and if these clues make something, somewhere, inside someone's brain click that actually does know something about this, then maybe I helped a little bit.

If that's the case, it sounds like a problem with ssl. I wonder if a fascinate baseband would fix it. Trailblazer proved that a fascinate baseband would work on our phones a few months ago
