People w/ Froyo(HACK) and bugs

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.

Hey thanks MOD (or whoever did it) for renaming the thread. Excellent Job...

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.

I running Froyo on the AT&T Nexus on Telus here in Canada and so far I am having no issues, maybe some app that you installed is causing the crash...weird tho.

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.

You guys don't know the secret behind poking, huh? I used to do some facebook hacking before they cracked down on it. The thing is, when you poke someone, you have acess to a temporary page that displays information that would usually be private, including features. It's a stalker feature in fb for sure, but try it out. It's a great thing to do when you don't want to send a friend request but still want to stalk the person..\

Just thought I'd give you all the heads up

oh snap.. really?. that's pretty awesome. lol
and I'm happy to report that... FINALLY!.. I don't have partial wake lock with this update.. jesus, took them long enough.
.1 didn't work for me, even after uninstalling facebook and completely reinstalling. .2 fixed it, but only after a full install again.

This new update broke notifications (takes you to the website, again), which had been fixed in the last update.

How to you completely uninstall the Facebook application. I only have the option to "uninstall updates", I can't uninstall the app (not from the market front, or the Applications -> Manage -> Facebook). I am not rooted and have never seen this before. And yes, I am not trying to remove the Facebook for HTC Sense, I am trying to remove the katana one. 1.3.2 is still in my running services even though I have all notifications turned off and refresh turned off. 1.2 never showed up in the running services location.

ohhhhh the new update broke notifications? so how do i get the new update and which facebook is this, htc sense or regular

So they update the app so the last 6 people with 1.5 can install the app, and it breaks notifications for all of us.

Is anyone still having issues with the awake time bug. 1.3.2 is causing my phone to stay awake

My notifications, even on the last update, have always always always taken me to the website.

I had been running the last version without the partial wake bug (1.2.9? 1.3.0? I forget) and upgraded to this today. Immediately went back to constant partial wake time. I just uninstalled the entire app for now but are you saying that a complete uninstall then reinstall of the new version will get rid of this issue? I don't really care too much because the regular site works just fine. I just figure I will use the application if it's not raping my battery in exchange for saving me 2 seconds of opening a bookmark.

if were talking about the htc sense one, then how do i update it? or find the version im on?

1.3.2 is keeping my phone awake non-stop, again, even after a reinstall. Now it's giving me a 500 server error, too.

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! I'm gonna shoot this damn phone

So, i noticed all my calls were dying and getting disconnected shortly after the screen goes into sleep mode
that was a major pain in the bullock, and it was very embarrassing talking to the customers and getting DC-ed every few seconds or minutes.
i had to constantly keep touch the screen to keep the phone from going into sleep mode.
so the only work around at the moment is set to phone to never sleep
and sleep only when i hit the power button.
it's a weird bug, not sure when it started, it wasn't doing this before.

Odd I've never had that problem. What are you running?

Can't really get mad when you're using a ROM that's currently in Beta, if you want stability then you should stick with Stock. Just sayin'

Maybe try asking over in the Bionix thread to let those dev's know you're having an issue.
That's a new one to me.

Love the title of this topic. I feel the same exact way so often about it, though I've never had your specific issue.
*Losing data connection constantly (and no, NoBars doesn't seem to help me with this)
*Rebooting during longer calls (though I don't have this issue as much as some seem to)
*Every SINGLE download, be it Market or Browser is always unsucessful on the first (or second, or third...) attempt
*The fact that Google hasn't fixed these and other issues
Yeah, I want to shoot my phone many times. But......for some reason, I still love it.

It's not Bionix fault.
it was something else, but can't find what was the cause

this happens to me very often as well, but that's a separate issue
and i've traced it to be version specific of market
so the solution is to use an older version of market, or use a newer one, just avoid the versions that you are getting trouble with

Thanks for the tip. I assumed the Market version had something to do with it, but I wonder what the problem I'm having with Browser downloads is? I don't see a lot of people talk about it.
Also, sorry if I hijacked your thread.

Setcpu
Are you using setcpu? You can't make a profile where the phone sleeps below 800mhz bc it goes into a deep sleep

not using SetCPU
but i never had trouble even when i was using it
i stopped using SetCPU after finding out that i actually saved more battery without using SetCPU, than using it.
it also caused some minor lag, when switching between the different speed when set on demand

Yep, I'm experiencing every issue you've described here.
Hopefully we get a fix from google soon.

I have tried using the Rom in pure stock form (no apps and the standard kernel it comes with) I make a phone call I get high Android system usage . I have tried it with a the new SZ kernel with SBC and CFS *still does it*. I have tried it set up normally with all my apps and everything sync'ing still does it . Now in comparison to your phone and mine here is mine
HW004
All radios up to date , pri rolled back to 1.77 , PRL 60677
The one thing I have noticed is when I refresh the battery usage screen it will flicker another label over the Android System as if the phone is relabeling it . One time it was labeling it com.android.something , I couldnt make it out , another time it was flashing Settings before reverting back to Android System . I dunno if that will point you in the right direction or not or help you in any way .I wonder if its not data related ? *just thinking outloud* since when you are in a phone call it switches the phone to 2G and 3G is disabled (atleast on my phone) till the call is completed . Maybe during that time one of those processes is attempting to gain data access and isnt (Dunno just thinking outloud)

No problem,its fine just flashed #5 to stop the itch (coming from 1.1) I'm really liking the changes.great work
Also I like the 3 day builds instead of nightlies

if u look @ the processes under android system, salvageMod settings is one of em. amongst other things like google backup transport (id disable that google sync stuff)
but i suspect the savageMod settings like power widget/cpu settings clock/governor procedures prolly do run up the resources % numbers.
on refresh android system seems to say "com.android.systemstateui"
id need hdmi to work and record and freeze it to be sure.
i cant replicate it happening after a call either. after a 16 min call to my GF & 20 min call to my buddy, my android system is only @ 3%
but does randomly read up ion the 30-40% eventaully.

Well after reading the community forums at sprint.com and android forums, Ive seen people getting different results/bugs such as:
-Netflix stopped working(posted on this forum)
-Other Misc applications not functioning
-Shortcut icons appearing default with no detail
-Voicemail notification continuously appearing with no voicemails
-GPS Icon appearing even when the GPS is turned off
-Text messages taking longer to send
-Calls not connecting
Im sure there is more but these are the ones that caught my eye.
So thats why I was waiting to make sure there isnt another update to fix some of these issues.

Not having Netflix after getting a taste sucks the most

I can say that my gps icon is on and it shows off on the top. Text messages show a number when there are none. Great I updated and now I cant root.

I waiting until the bugs are fixed,
Not updating till then.
Waiting on root also

Interesting. I guess I should count myself as one of the lucky ones- all I've lost is NF.

+1 (Except that part about root, since there are already rooted OTA's)
Or until Synergy is finally released.

O wow, actually just replaced my evo through sprint. they sent me a brand new one, in an envelope(no accesories) thank god I have been living with a buggy refurb for almost a year.
Only problem is it is preloaded with 2.3!?!?!? the sprint rep said it was funny also 2 other customers received brand new ones, thats unheard of from sprint IMO
maybe they want to make everyone on 2.3 because so many using the wifi hotspots...idk
so I would have redone the universal root method like I did before hand, but read here first ......so no go on universal root?

I don't understand being a "stock user" and being on xda...seems kinda like an oxy-moron.

This. How did they even find about xda & why are they still here lol
It seems like Android Central would be a better fit...

The icons in folders not appearing is fixed by a fast boot.

Runs smooth no problem. I wish they upgraded sense it would make the phone more Customizable. But, I'm running on mik 2.1 3.0 sense it's a great rom try it out your self.

It's called "gaining knowledge, keeping informed, and keeping the options open". Some people, do not necessarily wish to modify every device they use, at every single opportunity. Since discovering XDA, I have had 6 or 7 different devices, and though I have not flashed a custom ROM to each one of them, I've done a couple. Flashing or not, this entire forum has helped me in some form with each device.

Me? I just guessed the correct secret handshake and I was in!
Seriously, I guess you'd have to ask yourself, "how did I find out about XDA?", in order to answer that. At one time, everyone on these forums was a stock user. The second part of your question is answered above.

-GPS Icon appearing even when the GPS is turned off

I was running Mik 1.3 for a few days and upgraded to 1.4 yesterday. From the above, only two apply on this rom: The Netflix & the GPS icon. The GPS works, but in my case, it appears as off whether I have it on or off. The NetFlix problem is an issue that NetFlix is working on and not a "bug" of GB. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I read that somewhere on here when the problem first came up.
Having 2.3.3 and Sense 2.1 grealy outweight those two bugs for me. Out of all the 2.3.3 roms I've tried, this one has been my favorite by a long shot. You just have to set up the phone properly. It took me a good couple of hours to format the SD card and upgrade the ext3, transfer all the files back and forth from the SD card, restoring all my apps and reorganizing my phone, etc.
Well worth it, IMO.

The only issue I have noticed is my Exchange inbox icon sometimes shows that I have a new/unread email when I don't. Besides that, everything is working faster and smoother. The battery life improvement is by far the most dramatic change, imo. One more thing that I personally like is the message received notification toggle is now the first option under message settings...def makes shutting off the notifications faster, which is good when you need to hide new texts from the gf
