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 :p

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. :D

(The OTA was press-only for people who attended Google I/O.)

Exactly.. About time more people acknowledged this.
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........

The market problem has a fix in this thread:

google needs to provide an official fix for the issue so we don't have to use the hack one ;)

yoo mean a hack for a hack :D
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.

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 :cool:
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...

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.

I don't know if it's a bug, but I can't find FM radio anywhere... and I believe it was announced.
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 :rolleyes: You cant win I guess.
