Official Gengerbread out!!
 

I got the notification yesterday and downloaded it.

Although there are some cosmetic differences, mostly I've noticed that my phone runs A LOT slower.

Anyone else get it yet?

after a day of use, GPS doesn't work, weather and mail won't update, and although a little faster, it's still slow as hell!

Re: Official Gengerbread out!!
 

That is all in your heads, try restarting your phone, mine works a little faster/smoother

Re: Official Gengerbread out!!
 

the only way I could get it to work a little smoother was to do a hard reset. It sucked but it's working, better anyway.

not too much changes as far as the OS goes, but the new sense has some pretty cool features... I love the quick settings tab in the notification bar, htc actually has its own battery widget! and the new camera is a million times better than the previous! we actually have decent zoom!!!

WTF? I am not getting the update... It just keeps saying that my phone is up to date.

Here is my software info:

Anyone have the update.zip from their SD? Im going to try to update my PROFILE and PRL and try to get the update again but at this time, I am stumped... jejeje

HTC software update: YOUR DEVICE IS UP TO DATE

ummmm... help... jejeje

Wow, downloaded this on Saturday and was just amazed at how much smoother my Shift runs. Unsure why some of you are having issues but everything is working well for me. Transitions and multitasking are much quicker than before and my battery seems to be performing better with applications like words with friends running in the background.

Re: Official Gengerbread out!!
 

Did upgrade on my wife's Shift last night... I like the new sense.
It was always very snappy so not much of a difference from my point of view.
But looks nice nonetheless.
I will wait for feedback from Mrs. AZTECHKA and report back to you guys if I get any. Good or bad.

I am using the standard ROM and since upgrading the new GB update I noticed that almost every time that I exit one app the system pauses and then the HTC logo page pops up and them pauses while it loads the start screen...almost like it is having to reload Sense every time. Thoughts.?

Finally got updated... Really needed patience on this... jejeje

In regard to your HTC logo issue, I don't see it, mind sharing any specific apps that u are using that's causing this? I can test to see if it does thesame to mine..

There seems to be a lot of people having this problem. The adroid forum has about 10 people confirming this as well as their conversations with Sprint. I have copied the link for you.

Since I removed Task Killer there seems to be an improvement.

Re: Official Gengerbread out!!
 

its happening to me too all the time. its getting annoying

Re: Official Gengerbread out!!
 

After a week mine still does this.

Has anyone else noticed the lack of battery performance? My battery doesn't last nearly as long as it did with 2.2 Any ideas?

Re: Official Gengerbread out!!
 

Sprint said keep 60mb open on the phone

Re: Official Gengerbread out!!
 

I've also noticed a big jump into roaming areas: Places that I normally go, and the signal is usually fine, now says I'm roaming, which drains the battery even more :angry7:.

Anyone else have this problem?

Re: Official Gengerbread out!!
 

I apologize if this is an ignorant question. I have that new 2.3gingerbread installed.

-What is the difference between the HTC sense and 2.3 gingerbread?

-Is their an official 2.3 gingerbread rootkit out yet?

Re: Official Gengerbread out!!
 

Anyone having problems with their texting? My wife's Shift will enter random text for her. Some funny stuff... It reads like something they typed in the test lab back in china. LOL. Grammar is way off but the text makes sense. Also random letter and number sequences like h89yajl79 or whatever.
Anyone?

Re: Official Gengerbread out!!
 

YES!!!! and it won't let me delete it. Every time I hit the del key it repeats the "highlighted" text starts adding new text from the xt9 choices at the bottom (even though I've already turned xt9 off). Sometime the only way I can get it to stop is to exit the SMS and start completely over. It sucks!

Re: Official Gengerbread out!!
 

You've got fastboot on. To fix the HTC Sense home screen "loading", go into settings, power and uncheck fastboot. You'll need to turn the device on and off for it to take effect. It completely solves the problem.

Re: Official Gengerbread out!!
 

My beef with it is my data speed has slowed down big time. bluetooth seems better and battery is fine but the data speed sucks.
