Good they've included the official Twitter app - hope HTC stop using bloody Peep!!
Jammy sods ! All get a free htc evo i want!
Its meant to be out for N1 today!!
or is that not true as I read it on a site that reported the announcement.
if its out today then hopefully someone can start to work on the port to Desire!!
If it's out I'd imagine HTC are already working on it - as a prefered partner I assume they'd have it by now...

well HTC are slow at updates so would like a ported N1 rom for now till 2.2 with sense is out.
If it's already loaded on the Evo 4g they al got for free :-(, doesn't that mean its already ported to htc sense UI??? Shouldn't it be able to work on our desires as well???
With very little, if no, work yes...I'd imagine!
damnit, flash 10.1 public beta is available, but will only download for android 2.2 devices
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html#android
Yer, never mentioned anything to do with announcements,
other then some of the ad stuff.
The music streaming from the Pc is cool
check out the videos of flash, the framerate is awful
It is still BETA ... it is not using hardware acceleration is not enabled.

Anyone still watching ?
Google tv is looking good, when its actually working that is.
Plus, i so want that android teady!
I wanted to create a change log for the latest OTA update 2.10.405.2. So here it is. Just bare in mind that this is not official change log, but just bits and pieces I found in the forum.
Changelog:
1. New battery algorithm. No more drops from full charged during charging to 90-91% after unplugged. (maybe calibrating of the battery, because different people sees different results - ohyeahar, herezor, chichoko)
2. New version of Google Maps 4.4.0
3. New app Places (it existed before if you had Google Maps updated to version 4.4 via Market - FreudsCAT)
4. New microphone button in the keyboard (only in english keyboard). To fix the issue with the low resolution of the button, just remove all languages except English and the button will have the same quality as the other ones (EddyOS)
5. No vibrate on shutdown
6. Save attachments from GMail app (Only Word and Excel. No support for zip or pdf)
7. New version of Quickoffice 3.2.60 (FreudsCAT)
8. Peep 2.0 fixed authentication with twitter (FreudsCAT)
9. Better video quality while capturing video (hamdir, aindow)
10. New/improved notifications of unsent messages, tweets, Facebook alerts, etc. (aindow, andQlimax)
11. Flash Player v 10.1.92.10 can be downloaded from the market. (hija31 vs. people are reporting that it was in the market before - Lothaen)
12. The image blur bug in the gallery is gone. (hamdir vs. fblasot)
Not confirmed, but people reporting those:
101. Better sound quality while shooting video.
Please feel free to comment those changes and add new ones.
Places was in 2.09.405.8 (or was on mine)

I'm not 100% sure but I had to install "Maps [brut]" to have "Places [brut]" on my list. As far as I remember I did not had "Places". But maybe I'm wrong. Can somebody else comment on this.

"Places" was definitely there before.
Btw, I'm not sure how anyone can be sure there's a new battery algorithm. It can just be an issue with your battery calibration.

You are correct about the "new battery algorithm". I've seen threads with a lot of people having the same issue as me, but in the same time other people didn't have it.
It appears when I had OTA update 1.15.405.4. Before that I had very accurate battery percentage. The issues stayed after the Froyo update. But now with this OTA it's gone.
- I didn' had "Places" before (Desire - Unbranded - Unrooted, official HTC 2.2 rom - updated OTA with latest "patch")
- After yesterday update, this morning i had the battery drop from 100% to aprox 90%, so the new algorithm it's not there (from the update - 2.2 OTA till yesterday the battery slowly recalibrate itself and last 2 weeks i had no quick drops in btry. percentage )
- i don't know about "News and weather" if it is new or not because i didn't saw it before ......

- places - as far as I remember I did not had it too. But as you can see other people are saying it was there.
- about battery algorithm - so the issue with drops is still there.
- "News and weather" widget is an Android widget (not HTC) which was there before this update.
As HTC says about the update:
1.Android OS update patch
2.Enhanced multi inbox Gmail support
3.Improved Russia keyboard layout
also
- new version Quickoffice 3.2.60 - HTC
- peep 2.0 fixed authentication with twitter
Places was there on my SIM-free Desire running 2.09.405.8 RUU (I never do OTA updates) - I'm guessing other people never noticed it

Thanks for the latest 2 new changes you've provided.
About the official changes - I think is better to list the exact changes, not general ones like "Android OS update patch", because they are kinda misleading.

I can confirm improvements in my Desire´s battery (recalibrated itself as well), as this morning from 7:00 until 12:30 it dropped 2 % only (under normal load)... I also noticed a drastic reduction in the temperature of the battery (before, it was 34ºC with system on and Wi-Fi enabled, and now 26.2ºC in same conditions). I use Battery Left widget from Android Market to measure this.
So, seeing that more and more people are finding their Desi´s battery lasts longer, I assume that one of the main changes in this update is the new energy management algorithm, not included in initial Froyo release and so much expected...
Notifications for unsent messages, tweets, Facebook alerts etc are now in colour on the top notification bar.
There's now a black background as an option on the phone without having to download one. Have a look in the wallpapers menu.

I do not have a black wallpaper. I do have an very dark black grid wallpaper, but that's there from day one.
Confirming Peep OAuth upgrade, this was added today to my twitter connections page, it wan't there before even after peep worked again:

When a text doesn't send due to bad signal it shows an envelope with a red triangle next to it. The Facebook notification shows a Facebook logo with a green circle with the number of received messages.
The wallpaper I am on about is black, but has a load of very small white dots.

Great idea for a thread! I always like to read these "changelog threads" before update since I had a few bad experiences when being impatient
Can someone with installed update confirm if some of these bugs / glitches that existed on first official 2.2 OTA update:
- Missing right border for dialer buttons (see attachment)
- Privacy missing in settings (I know that you can find it via search but can it now be seen "normally"?)
- Problem with Sense widgets and transferring apps to SD (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=744581)
Fix for this last issue is extremely important to me so if you do not want to read the entire thread for the link above here is summary:
I conducted these tests on two different Desires using three different applications downloaded directly from Market, that natively support moving to SD card. Earlier I
Applications are (but can be ANY other app that supports moving to SD card): Barcode Scanner (ZXing team, version 3.4), Rock Player (Holly Lee, version 1.0.31), Slide Puzzle (SporkSoft, version 1.6.7)
1) As soon as I move any of these apps to SD card, widgets on home screens reload data (like after system boot). During this "reload" weather widget stays blank as shown in picture I am sending you: "blank_wether_widget.jpg"
2) The same thing happens with widgets when I connect the phone to PC via USB in DISK DRIVE mode
3) The same thing also happens when I disconnect a phone from PC (if it was connected in DISK DRIVE mode).
5) HARD RESET doesn't help, regarding this issue!
Hey, what happened??
Two days ago I checked manually for the update and I found it but I did not install it because it was not clear about rooting procedure for new boot loader.
Now I would like to upgrade but if I check manually it tells me no update available and the software version is still the old one!!
Any idea??
I didn't have "places" on previous Froyo OTA now i do.
i shot and played back a 720p video, seems smoother then before. I found a hint about a change in video playback, i had videos on my SD made to play on ps3 H264 encoded at 15MB bitrate, used to play normal but stutter bad now after the OTA they show black or artifacts at playback.
the image blur bug in the gallery is gone, it used to happen when u rotate the screen, sharpness was lost. However weird random thumbnails artifacts bug is still there.
new speaker icon on keyboard is blurred doesn't look screen native.
mnaeh all the bugs u mentioned are still there even the privacy menu still missing.
i appreciate updating peep, maps and quickoffice and certainly love the new speaker button. but not updating flash in this OTA is kinda of stupid.
I love HTC and my desire much more then my old iphone, but damn these tiny yet persistent bugs makes their products feel unpolished. I wish HTC stops releasing hundreds of different branded and network exclusives and instead focus on polishing their awesome products. example the stupid unable to edit notes widget.

I've been noticing on my LTE GN that, for example, when clicking on items on the Settings menu, the clicked-on item's blue highlight would fade and then the next screen would come on. But the fading of the blue highlight stutters a little, it fades half way, then pauses while the system works on loading up the next screen presumably, then quickly fades the whole way and switches to the next screen. Is this normal? It's not a big deal at all but the only reason I ask is because all the reviews I've read say that the UI is perfectly smooth, so I'm not sure if this is on all devices or if this is just my device.
Didn't notice that until now. Are you using a custom rom? I'm currently on Android Revolution HD 2.1.2.

Fully stock, haven't unlocked bootloader yet as I'm waiting to port my number to Verizon. So you notice it too?
I'm experiencing the exact same thing. The settings was stuttering, also the app drawer whenever i scroll through the widgets.
Were you able to fix this yet?
i get that too...
not as silky smooth as people said..
i hope the 4.0.2 will fix it..
am still waiting for the OTA update..
Hello
I tried out Screencast on my HOX today, but all I get is a video with the:
'HTC Quietly Brilliant' screen (I hate that screen now, only shows when something doesn't work!).
I am running CoreDroid, could that be the problem, has anyone tried Screencast on the HOX?
me too
its not just you, it happens to me too. even after i downloaded the mobo player it suggested. When i bought this phone i really didn't expect so many bloody issues, no gamloft games, no screencast whats next?
It's written right on top of the description :
** Root Needed
** Does not work on Galaxy Nexus or Tegra 2/3 yet
** Refund Policy: 24 hours
Hope your 24 hours didn't pass.
Sorry I noticed that.
I think the dev is inactive, I can still use it on other phones though

Did anyone else wake up with a bunch of new Bloatware from sprint? Was it a sprint or Samsung update? Trying to figure out how it showed up on my home screen. My settings are set so all updates have to be manually by me, I'm a control freak. Any suggestions or ideas are appreciated. Thanks, you guys are the best.
the OJ7 update was a bunch of google security updates, I got no new bloatware on my phone to speak of, everything seems to be the same nothing changed for me.
Sprint updated Sprint Zone/Fun & Games (they're one app), Sprint ID and something else I believe. Sprint ID is carrier controlled but Sprint Zone/Fun & Games has an option in it's settings for auto update.
I got the same thing this morning. Saw Sprint something or other had updated, then noticed they added a 4th (I have 3) home screen panel on the right with a bunch of junk apps. They also moved my main home screen to the left (I have it in the middle). Seems quite intrusive.
Just got the update in question. It's Sprint's "App Spotlight" that messes with the home screen and adds shortcuts. Rather bothersome little thing.
Seems my play store has reverted back to the previous style also. . . wth

Actually Google Play changed the store layout a while ago. We're playing catch up. The new style is reminiscent of the way it looked in 2.x days.

Yeah I caught up like 4 days ago, then it went back after I got this dumb Sprint update. Now as I read your post I pulled up the play store, and it's back to the newest.... oh well
