I posted before about my phone always starting up in airplane mode (here) after trying to get flash working on Opera.
Well for some reason, that has gone away. YAY!
But now, google maps no longer works. BOOoo!
What happened is that I started it up at the beginning of my weekly road trip, it looked like everything was working but the "Loading" note at the top was persistent AND traffic wasn't loading. If I moved the map around, new sections of the map were being downloaded without a problem. Opera works with no problem.
I then got this error:
Network Unavailable
This application requires a data connection. Please contact your carrier, or visit www.google.com/gmm/configure.html on your computer for more info.
(Error: wininetHttpError [0 12007])
I have had Google Maps die on me before so I keep the latest version on my SD card just in case. I removed Google and reinstalled. Now it doesn't even get to a map and gives the same error message.
Because of my weekly roadtrip, Google Maps is very important to me. Does anyone have any suggestions?
If you are having so many probs why don you just hard reset or even change ROM?
Perhaps that could help.
And don´t forget to vote for Rhodium
Hard reset is always an option but it is such a pain in the ass to reload everything that is working fine now.
As for loading a new ROM, for some reason I am told that I already unlocked my phone when I run the utility. Also, none of the ROMS look (or sound like they perform) all that different from AT&T's stock ROM after the available tweaks.
Scratch hard reset from the list of potential fixes.
Solved.

Updated (officially) my Desire to android 2.2. Some notices and thoughts:
1) Russian keyboard is quite buggy: instead of space after space-button pressing it prints "!", and instead of Enter - "Ъ". This, however, happens only in portrait mode.
2) Messages are now ordered by date ascending. Why?
3) Search replaced with default 2.2 search. It's OK, but why not to stylish it for the Sense theme, like the old one?
4) Messages listing still lags, so does the main menu, when scrolling to the very bottom.
Hi guys,
i've looked around a little, and so far have found a few issues with 2.2
The idea behind this thread is to collect them all (POKEMON! xD).
When i think the list is complete, i will send a support ticket to htc about it.
So far noticed:
General Issues:
- Battery Drain
- dropping wifi connections after time
- random crashs when adjusting camcorder settings
- status bar gsm icon doesn't change to H in hsdpa areas, if coming from gprs area
- headphones aren't recognised if device is rebooted with them plugged in
- bug with russian keyboard in portait mode ("!" typed instead of Space and "э" instead of Enter)
- inoperative camera (not everyone)
- wifi-tethering glitch (doesn't save settings)
- massive heat while charging
- partly incomplete localization
- some issues with syncing to gmail (please more details!)
Browser:
- laggy panning in browser
- browser launchs to last page visited instead of homepage
Apps:
- the coverflow of the htc music player doesn't load all 5 visible covers (always at least one missing)
- some apps simply shut down, even if they worked fine on 2.1
- paid apps disappearing from market
- video thumbnails pixelated
- music playback doesn't resume after spoken intructions by navigator
- gps localization seems to be much slower now
Post, what you've found, i'll add it. (please tell, how you installed froyo, upgraded, reflashed or some other way)
Thx 4 your help
Seems all paid apps have disappeared from the market for me, including the ones I've already bought
@Cwiis
did you flash a new 2.2 or upgraded from 2.1?
Browser launches (after its been killed) onto the last page you visied, not the homepage.
haven't noticed any of those problems, only problem i had was that it wasnt properly installed the first time. I hear people complaining about battery power but my one week long desire usually holds just fine for 3 days without charge with normal use( wifi, sometimes gps, listening to music etc)
I haven't had any problems with the WiFi. But the web browsing isn't as smooth as used to be when booming in.
One thing I have however noticed is that if I'm in a area of gprs it says g, but when I go to a hsdpa area it still says g. I get the speeds of hsdpa but it says gprs. If I turn of and on the network it then says h.
Works fine from h to g. But won't go g to h even when its on hsdpa.
I'm in o2 in UK. Any one else noticed it.
Paid Apps are there for me. (uk. unbranded)
When watching BBC Iplayer you can't quit out of the playing Flash video, and i had to go to do a FORCE STOP on the browser to get out.
Oh, I was wrong, only two of my paid apps have gone - I guess the phone needs specific activation or something, but Raging Thunder 2 and Pacman Championship Edition have both disappeared for me (even though I've bought them and have both of them installed).

I think you will find that it is probably supposed to do that now. Part of the Android process management is that if an app is killed by the system (or a task killer as it happens!), the state is saved so that when you start up again it is in more or less the same place as it was before it was killed.
I guess that previously it didn't used to save the state, but now it does.

Dave
one paid app (radiotime) is missing from the mp. It is still on my phone though...
App share doesnt post to the facebook icon but works ok via friendstream (htc sense)

I had a similar problem, and although I was able to quit the browser, I was then left with a Flash video still playing in the background that I could hear, but not access or see (even going back to the browser). This happened for me after viewing in Full-Screen.
I think I've also found another issue following the update that I don't recall happening before...
If you're listening to music through headphones, then reboot the phone (without unplugging them), when it starts up again it does not recognise that the headphones are plugged in. Consequently if you restart the music, it comes out of the internal speaker.
Unplugging them and plugging them in again fixed this... It does appear to be repeatable though.
I'm not too worried though, I can accept the odd minor issue like these, as so far at least, the benefits of Froyo far outweigh the drawbacks.
(I installed Froyo OTA on an unbranded Orange UK handset.)
1) Unable to sync contact with fb (It does not update pictures, status etc)
2) Something is wrong with the camera. In viewfinder mode everything seems to be overexposed
people at 4pda.ru forum collected this list of bugs in 2.2 desire rom (my approximate translation follows):
bug with russian keyboard in portait mode ("!" typed instead of Space and "э" instead of Enter)
radio heavily degraded. lack of stereo reception (not everyone have this issue)
inoperative camera (not everyone)
applications size display issuer
excessive battery drain
sluggish scrolling in stock browser
wifi-tethering glitch (doesn't save settings)
intense overheating when on charge and during heavy load.
"Phone" application doesn't change its locale when changing system language from Russian to English
(original post is located at _http_://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=162138&view=findpost&p=4928464)
Problems with localization files. Eg. if running Danish locale, names on months are not shown in 3rd party apps, this happens eg. with Smooth Calendar (dev is working on workaround). Instead numbers are shown, but if switching to English locale, there is no problem.
Has been reported to HTC by me and Smooth Calendar dev., let's hope they respond and fix this, with some of the other bugs mentioned in this thread.

Hi,
From this morning when I try to open the Market it will say loading for about a minute then come back with a "network error has occurred" like it cannot connect and then it will close the Market when I select 'cancel'
Tried the following to try fix it / determine where the problem is...
- reboot
- Have 3G / WIFI connectivity to browse etc so it is not connectivity.
- Factory / data / ext wipe
- Tried diff rom's Leedroid / Open Desire
- I am based in South Africa so thought it might be a Market enabler issue - tried that
- Then thought it might be my Google account so setup another one, logged in but got the same error!
- Formated the SD card
None of this has helped
Any more idea's...any suggestions will be hugely welcomed.
Russ
Dont worry its a worldwide event. Its like all planets alligned or something to take Android market down for almost everyone.

cant get apps market on my phone but can get it on my computer in double twist. weird. i am in the us.
It's back up!
Mine was down for a few hours (vodafone uk), now its up again but not working fully, the 1st page just says something like no matches found in market... when i click on apps or games its very limeted, even if i go to my downloads and click on something popular like facebook for android, it opens then click more apps by developer and its not there, no apps at all, even searching for popular qpps like facebook doesnt give the official release, still seems like ite not working 100%

Still cannot see some installed apps in the Downloads. Recently updated ones.
Got an issue with the market it starts but when I go to my apps or downloads it gives a server error and cancels.
I am using the latest market update which has been working OK but the last 2 days when I go to "My Apps" to check for updates I get the following:
"A Server error has occurred. Retry or cancel and return to previous screen"
Anybody else seen this, tried rebooting several times makes no difference, holding off doing a hard reset too many apps installed would have to reinstall them all again.
Not being able to backup like winmobile a real pain in the ass. I know I can use Mybackup Pro but it never seems to get the restore correct there always some none functional apps after the restore
I'm having the same problem here from Trinidad...

Hi,
I have a Desire HD with the stock everything, and by OTA it got the 2.2 so I can't temp root now(before you ask).
One mail reason I got a smartphone was for my love of using GPS. And all was working well, but recently, since almost last one month now GPS has almost completely stopped working. Sometimes I am able to see a fix of upto 4 satellites in GPS status, but the lock never happens. I have tried:
1) GPS status with reset and fresh AGPS data
2) disabling wifi/mobile data
3) removing battery and doing factory reset
4) Ensuring there is clear sky and keeping my phone stable for upto half an hour
5) Testing with Google maps
I read the gps.conf may be the common culprit but i see that the same NTP server of north-america is being used in my brother's Wildfire and it works perfectly and gets a lock within 10 seconds! So I would say rooting just to change gps.conf may not also help me out.
What else can i check? If possible I would want not to root and if required at all, would want to do a temp root if possible to save my warranty
Please help me guys to get my GPS back on my 2.2 DHD
I have read almost every forum post/article I could find which may help me with my GPS issue but none helped me and it seems more and more people are getting this issue. The last thing I would want is to send my dear phone to service center lest they take weeks to "fix" it.
So I was experimenting with any clue I could get. AND it seems I may have stumbled upon something here!
I THINK HTC Desire HD can boot into a safe mode which would help me find if there might be abackgrund process/app hurting my GPS. So to accomplish this I rebooted my HTC, and while booting up and kept the HOME button pressed till it booted up and showed the unlock screen.
GPS Status too about 5 mins but found 6 satellites and locked!!!
Not believeing what I was seeing, I started google maps, and within 5 seconds it locked on to 10 meter accuracy!!
2 questions now
1) Had I actually booted into safe mode, if not what happened here
2) If this was really about something interfering with my GPS, then which server/app is it? How to investigate?
I went into running services and found these running:
astrid backupservice
jbedvmnorunning service
calendar obexservice
htcsense immediatemodeservice
htcsense dashboardsvc
google cloud to device
google messaging
media
sound sdmsvc
cspeoplesync
google maps networklocation
market alarm
mail easappsync
touch input svc
Other 71 mb in 4, avail 247+241 in 43
I will try to find next day what services are running in regular boot, if gps stops working again
If this works for anybody else too, please comment as then we can try investigate together
Well, it turned out that my GPS working was more of a fluke. Didn't work again after that :'(
Not sure what else to try as I do not wish to take as I am not at all comfortable flashing etc. my phone just to make GPS work
hope this solves your problem

Hi there, i got desire HD with Android Revolution HD 7.0(2.3.5 (Gingerbread) + Sense UI 3.5 )
and i got some questions.
1. I have installed CurrentWidget in order to check on my battery and i set the log correctly but the application is not making any log ? Do i need to keep it running or its running by it self?
2.I got Samsung ue55d8000 TV and i connected it to my wireless AP(phone also connected to it) and Samsung Remote cant seem to find it?
ps. Connection works on TV and on phone.
ok i fixed the samsung problem, it was firmware upgrading to new got it working.
anyone for this current wig. ?
If you have any task killers exclude Cur. Widg. from it, and be sure to actually place the widget on the home screen.
Goto Curr.Wid from Settings-> apps. Clear the data and force close. then restart the application. probably this might work.
canabi 1859
ok i kinda fixed it dont know how
one some more questions coming
3. ok after cleaning my antenna contacts i get better gps reception i can fix on 7-9 sats. in like less then 30seconds, but when i keep start walking(was in park trees only 500m around me clear no buildnings) i start losing sats one by one.
i installed igo my way 8.4.3.179971 put maps on it and everything else i started it and i got fix on my location but when i started walking (same in park) it says gps lost and gps off.
So my question is this rom related problem or hardware or even application?
4. How can i force phone to install applications on Sd card?
try GPS fix given from android revolution thread....
