You guys can obviously reply with your favorite feature(s) of 2.2, but are there any more subtle changes than overall performance boost you guys noticed?
For me, I like how the 3G looks like now. It's mundane and stupid, but I like how it's more curved rather than blocky. I don't have 4G in my area so I'm curious if the 4G looks similar to the new 3G or if it retains the old look.
I appreciate the little touches of color HTC added to some of their icons I'm still poking around but that jumped out at me right off the bat.

Oh yeah, I thought something looked off when I had to do the unlock pattern for the first time.
Is it just me or did the notification bar change a little? I use handcent for messaging, and usually when I got two messages in a row the notification bar just had the handcent image at the top. Now it shows 2, 3 or however many unread messages I have.
Very nice. I'm loving my phone even more.
Yeah, I dig the new 3G logo - it takes it in line with how the Incredible looks. I also like the "default" picture for those who don't have a photo for Caller ID. The 3D glossy Android looks great. Also, having Facebook statuses and pending Birthdays when someone calls on the call screen is awesome too.

Oh, and I noticed (but just now confirmed it) the AM/PM symbol is slightly smaller than it was before; prior to the update, the AM/PM would be the same font size as the time, but now it's like 1-2 pts smaller.
I like that sound and display are seperated in the settings menu now.
I like my benchmarks A LOT
I like the flashlight, and I like that I can "Set Install Location"
I like that the settings>applications>manage_applications menu opens so fast now
I like the new market, and how they are using tabs in some system menu's (like the applications menu)

YES this was a HUGE, GARGANTUAN, MONOLITHIC improvement!!!!
Im on 4G now and its a squared off 4G with 3 possible bars for service, not sure what the old one looked like but it looks the same, but the new texting layout is somewhat nice, i liked the older style layout but i like how it tells you how many unread on in the top corner and how many texts you have going with each person, now it looks like a high score table to see who i can text the most in a month... haha
Theres one of these small changes I absolutely hate. Remember that cool looking 3Dish bag icon in the market (top left). It now looks the same as the app icon. Which is crappay!

Do you use Handcent? I thought the default messaging program didn't have a visible count on sending messages. Is this a new feature of the default messaging app or are you using Handcent? The Handcent notification bar icon has the little green circle with white font for number of unread messages.
Sounds like the 4G bar looks the same - it was not as squared off as the 3G symbol - I think only because the 4 seemed wider than the 3.
I don't notice much of a difference. Sence is still the lethargic turd it always was.

Props to HTC sense is bomb
Oh yeah I forgot to add that I love how the security pattern has a timer on it like the Droid X had when it launched (I think I read that at least) - you can set it to come on after a certain number of minutes rather than every time the screen is shut off!
HUGE plus in my book. I want the security there in case someone steals my phone, but not make me swipe it every single time while I text with someone over the course of 10 minutes.

It's not in settings, its an app in the app drawer. It's called "SetInstallLocation"
the multi touch keyboard is awesome. even though I'm using the cm6 one

One thing I noticed is the vibrate feedback from hitting the buttons -- it seems shorter and softer.
I know I already said this but DAMN I love how the security pattern doesn't require you to enter it now after EVERY single time you turn the screen off.
Even Gmail looks a little different. A lot of the physical look of apps seem to be more polished looking too.
First time really using Mango. I just love the bar at the bottom in IE. As mobile's get bigger it's stunningly awesome. The only thing left I want is for it to hide and I'll swipe to go get it and swiping tabs.
Very cool feature. Thought I would hate it at first.
Its different. But they really need to revamp I.e. N quick and accessible back and forward buttons

I second that, what with these huge screens now it's so easy to get to, whereas before was a bit of an effort, especially if you're in bed using it lying down.

I don't get it - why do you like the address bar being permanently stuck there? Do you really need to constantly look down and be reminded of what site you're on?
Back / Forward / Favourites / Tabs buttons like on iOS (or WP7 pre-Mango) would be far more useful. I honestly can't see how being able to see the URL of the site is a cool feature; would love it if you could explain..

You should read better. He just likes the new position. But he clearly said that he would want it to hide after a few seconds.
I love the address-bar at the bottom and I agree it would be even more awesome if it had autohide after a few secs.
I prefer it at the bottom with no autohide. when i am done reading a site, i want to type a new address or go to favorites, not mess with trying to make it reappear.
It also is following windows 8 metro IE 10. It's the same way.

Just tap anywhere on a site that doesn't contain a link. Your address bar should disappear. At least it does on my W8 CP when I left click.
On my Trophy, the address bar at the bottom is a pain for me. I do a lot of single-hand typing - when the address bar was at the top, it was easy to 'thumb', but now its just not as easy...more risk me dropping the phone etc.
Plus I now sometimes accidentally press the windows or back button as well, when selecting the bar.
A simple option in settings would be nice.

confirmed. Not sure why i didn't notice the behavior. You have to wait for the site to finish loading before it will minimize. on Windows 8 CP
Its good and there should be a button to swap tabs at the side of the address bar.
I feel like Windows Phone 8 will bring a lot of gestures and UX elements from Windows 8. For example IE will be full screen on the phone and you would swipe from the top bar to bring up the menus.. Super awesome I think. Then in the menu you can add the address bar, back and forward buttons or whatever common functions you need in IE.
i don't care if the address bar is at bottom or on top. i need the "find on page" back. i almost stopped using the browser.

There's a JavaScript that does exactly that. Add it to your favorites and voila, you have your find on page feature back. Not as convenient as having it as part of the menu though.
Hi there,
Just got a new Galaxy Tab 3 10.1. There's a line of apps installed below the page/panel indicator on the home screens, with a bunch of (to me) ill chosen apps. But I can't drag them off the screen to delete them, like I can the ones above the page indicator. I can't find any mention of what this apparently separate panel is called to search better.
Of interest, are people happy with their purchase of one of these? So far I'm finding it pretty ordinary - not horrible, just ordinary...

Just drag the apps on the lower part of your home screen to the upper part where it says delete. then you can go to your apps and drag them to the lower part of your home screen to add them in the dock
If you're saying about the lock screen then I don't know
Hi!
I'm pretty happy with the tab 10.1! With the latest OTA update it runs even smoother! The runtime is great, can handle up to 5 days with daily usage without charging. I received my leather case today, a 360° case.. I can put it horizontal or vertical and it "wakes up" when i open the case.
With that prize its an absolutely recommendation.

Hi there,
On the default home page, there's two large widgets on the top (weather and news). Below that there's a Google search bar. Below that there's a row of shortcuts. These all behave normally. Below that there's the page/panel indicator (telling you which home page you're on) and then at the bottom there's another row of shortcuts. It's that last, bottom row that I'm having trouble with. They don't seem to act normally - I can't drag them off to delete as normal. They appear to be hardwired. They are not the choice I would select and I want to change them.
Are other people able to delete these shortcuts?
Thanks!

I have the same problem. I'm tired of reading the answer "click and hold then drag it up". It seems to be the stock answer on all forums. They won't move! No matter what I do, the ridiculous row of apps bottom most on the screen is stuck. There's no help for this in the help app/widget. Someone must know how to unlock these darn things. I want to replace them with ones I use regularly.

Qranparoger,
Unfortunately that is the correct answer of click and hold and move. I just did it to mine and I can move two of the three apps I have in the bottom row. The only one that cannot move is APPS. My SETTINGS and FIREFOX can both be moved to the main screen above the bottom row.
My tab is rooted, but uses stock rom. There is nothing special about what I have done. I checked settings to see if I had changed a display or security function but I do not see anything. I do remember when I first got the tab that I too was having problems. But I do remember solving it and removing the bottom row (except APPS) and rearranging the icons or deleting the icons.
It think that maybe it might be in the APPLICATION MANAGER in SETTINGS that you "Turn Off" the app and it might vanish from the bottom of the screen. Again, I cannot remember how I did it but it can be done.

Latest ROM update - still can't change the apps. My tab isn't rooted, and I couldn't be bothered to now. I don't necessarily want to "turn off" the apps, just not use my precious home screen space. Anyway, I solved the problem by buying a Nexus. Yep, free Samsung is just collecting dust, piece of rubbish... Before anyone rages on me, there's a bunch of reasons I didn't like the Samsung, not just this one thing.

You want the Butter Mod? How would you hold on to it?
a couple that come to mind right away would be to have the edge bring up apps for multi-screen, another would be jsut to have it bring up recents, then remap the recent button to menu.
would be great is somehow the edge screen could be on everytime the main screen is on, without any other user intervention..
thanks

I agree with this x100 for notifications. The whole swiping back and forth is stupid and cumbersome. I currently use an app called " no led" to show my notifications, but it would be awesome to have them just always scroll across the edge screen.

Personally the only mod I want is the return of Ambient Display.
Moved from S4 to S6 edge - love the device except for 3 things - no continuous scroll of pages / screens - no voice control for alarm clock / music and can't sort apps alphabetically - not sure if this is the right place to post this but worth a try - i am a major noob with android but is it possible to copy the code for these options from an s4 to s6 - another lower priority one would be glance view - i know they tried to cut bloatware from touchwiz but to me these were excellent features

Beat me to it. As for the other thing like vioce controls, have you tried S Voice? That app is still on this device. I don't use it so I used Ti Backup to freeze. Might want to give that a try.
As for the other replies to this thread, we are looking for requests on the "Edge" part of this device. Let's try to stay on topic please. That's includung my fellow Team Members. BTW, good to see you around @bhundven
There is no abc on the top right in the app drawer only edit to remove apps - as for svoice it is pretty limited on control and won't control alarms - sorry for being off topic

Ah, so you're using an International device. That would explain a lot. Anyway, let's try to stay on topic here. This thread is for requests on the "Edge" hardware function of this device. Trying to see what we can actually do with the "edge" technology.
Actually, I have one request which @dsexton702 already knows about, but just to give you all an idea of what this thread is for. Edge on both sides at the same time with different functions on each side instead of just using one side at a time.

Hi, every time I write a screen off memo it will not show on the AOD screen. Instead will go directly into a icon. If I tap twice the icon will appear for a brief time and then go back as icon.
The time it will stay on the screen will not be combined with the date/time.
Anyone has the same? Is it a problem of the settings or csc?

Yes, same here - direct to icon. I saw review videos where the screen off memo actually remains on the display along with the always-on screen. I tried every combination (i think) of always-on display and lockscreen notification settings, but never found a way to get it to stay.
On those same videos, by the way, the main settings screen looked very much like the one of the Note 5 and not at all like Grace UX, which is what i have. So i wonder if there are different software versions out there with some serious differences.
Maybe csc related ? mine is XSG.

If you go into the always on display settings and then about it should show you an update is available. After this is downloaded it is now working correctly.
Not sure why this did not ship on the phone or they make the update more obvious.
