The original thread is a complete mess and it's impossible to find posts detailing CONFIRMED bugs. Let's try to keep general discussion of the leaked 2.2 ROM in the original thread and use this thread for bug reporting.
THIS IS NOT FOR HELP/PROBLEMS WITH INSTALLATION OF THE LEAKED ROM. Only post here if you have the leaked ROM up and running and have encountered a bug.
Post here you think you have found a bug. If it cannot be repeated by multiple users, it's not a confirmed bug, but more likely an improper installation or software conflict of some sort.
If a potential bug is posted by someone and you can repeat it, please quote the original post of the bug report and "Confirm" in body of your post. If multiple people can confirm that they can repeat the bug, I'll update this post and list it. If someone posts a bug and you know a fix, quote their post with your fix (or link to thread with fix) in the body of your post.
I'll try to keep this OP updated with a list of CONFIRMED bugs and fixes if one is known. If your bug is already listed here, please don't clutter up the thread by posting it again..
CONFIRMED BUGS:
1) Some purchased apps will not show up in the Market. Fix here
2) Multiple reports of recording in 720p in the camcorder causing a FC or screen freezing
3) Multiple reports of problems with MMS:
a) Handcent seems to work fine (no reported problems with MMS)
b) Stock Messaging appears to be hit-or-miss (MMS works for some, not for others)
c) Chomp seems to work for some people, not for others
4) Original Gmail app has some issues, puts a 0 at the top of messages and gets messed up during some replies. Fix:Install working gmail.apk (Fix here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=738188)
5) Browser FC when hitting the back button while inital page is still loading (confirmed by multiple users)
6) Streaming Audio Quality: "decline in audio on pandora as i listen to it bluetoothed to my stereo and now the sound has a major decline in quality" FIX: there is a patch for that works, but it hurts the Quadrant benchmark score. the linpack score remains the same and the phone still feels just as fast though. Fix here. Use the UPDATED fix, not the original one (original one is only for fixing Market)
7) Swype: multiple users report that Swype will stop working (cannot "swype", only tap keys) after reboot. Others report no problems. Sounds like a Swype install problem for people having trouble? FIX: Toggling Input Method off Swype and back on Swype seems to fix the problem.
8) Multiple reports of data connection dying off. lower bars on data then dropping from 3g to 1x speed. Intermittent WiFi connection dying as well.
9) Multiple users report poor battery life
4) Original Gmail app has some issues, puts a 0 at the top of messages and gets messed up during some replies. Fix:Install working gmail.apk (Fix here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=738188)
Beat me to it, but theres the link to the thread that fixes it.
Making more threads about the same things makes it even harder to find information.

very true !!!
If someone sends me a list of confirmed bugs and fixes then I'll add it to the main thread.
lets mention the streaming audio quality. there is a patch for it that works, but it murders the Quadrant benchmark score. the linpack score remains the same and the phone still feels just as fast though.
I've had 3G not turn on from a reboot now twice. Had to reboot to get it to work.
hrm
I couldn't get backup assistant to work, it won't connect.
delete my post please
Sending is fine. That's my fault. I'm an idiot.
Browser FC when hitting the back button while inital page is still loading
My phone has been running slower and hotter since flashing the 2.2 leak
Maybe add to #4 about Gmail that once you copy the fixed gmail.apk and reboot, you may get infinite Force Closes from Gmail. It happened to me. The fix is to go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> All -> Gmail -> Clear data. Then you'll have to open Gmail twice to get it to work.
When connecting to a PC with a data cable, and going into disk mode, I am only able to access the phone storage, and not the sdcard.
I have received a few MMS messages in Chomp tonight and they have worked fine. Not sure what that bug is about?
Quick question, does anyone have the ACTUAL 2.2 OTA update that is signed and completely untouched from HTC that would flash using a stock recovery? All we seem to have is the modified / rooted version, ide like the legitimate copy if possible

Of course its out there. However you won't have root if you use it. The rom is EXACTLY the same as if you applied the OTA. Except a little older radio and you get to keep root.
Plus it has the same bugs... At least VZW/HTC knows what bugs this has, 5300 beta testers so far. The official OTA should be flawless.
Anyone else having an issue with Wifi? I installed the new radio, rooted and installed 2.2 as advised. Everything appears to be working fine for me (camera, Market, etc..) but when I attempt to connect to the same router that was working when using 2.1 it keeps looping at 'Obtaining ip address ...' but will never establish a connection. I googled Froyo 2.2 wifi obtaining ip address and got several hits for other phones running 2.2 but nothing so far for the Incredible. Any thoughts? Anyone able to get wifi working?

I never once had any issues with wifi. Grab the logs and send 'em to me and I'll see if I can find anything.
I'm noticing an interesting thing with Swype. After most reboots I can not "Swype" only use the keyboard. The workaround is to change my input method back to the stock keyboard and then back to Swype and it works fine. Anyone else noticing this?
I apologize if this is a repost. I've done extensive searching on this and found only limited results.
My girlfriend has a Droid 1. We had her first Droid replaced due to a bad proximity sensor.
The replacement worked fine for about a month or so. Now she is having issues.
First, the Facebook app won't load at all. Additionally, we tried loading it on the browser and that didn't work. That makes me think that it's a Facebook issue not a Droid issue. Is anyone else having this problem?
Second, the GPS doesn't work at all now. It can't find her location. It just keeps searching. I've read a few posts where an app may interfere with the GPS. Has anyone had this experience? Also, I've heard of the app GPS Test and the fact that it can potentially fix the problem. Could this be true?
I am willing to try anything to make her happy considering I have to deal with the complaints.
Her phone is all stock 2.2. I haven't rooted it or customized it in any way.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Edit: Now I can't access my facebook. I have a Droid also.
I've been having a lot of problems with slow internet and with my browser not connecting to sites since updating my Nexus One to FRG83D.
Anyone else having problems?
Not the right section for posting this is in.
However, nope no issues with internet or connectivity
Me too....
Yes, I am having problems with internet connectivity. My eBay and Bank of America applications also stopped working.
Also having a lot of problems after the update... system is not stable at all, all the WiFi issues I had before FRG83 are back again, several force closes, random reboots. Not impressed.
same. random reboots, crazy screen, voice doesn't work worth a dam and market errors.
I've been searching for a google voice fix. I've tried lots of versions and it acts the same with all of them.
There's just something in the update that isn't right.
Is anyone else having issues using the app HeyTell? The only ROM i can get it to work properly on is the stock AT&T 2.1, it doesn't even work on the stock 2.2 update. Basically on stock 2.1 I can send and receive messages perfectly without missing a message or having to close the app. If I update to 2.2 or flash a custom ROM, I can send about 2 messages and then it stops sending or receiving, I have to close the app and then try to send the message again. Once I open the app again, whatever the person sent to me is lost and they have to send it again.
Just putting this out there, I have emailed the developer and they are stating that they have no issues. I don't know what else to try, I have cleared the app's cache, uninstalled and reinstalled, I am out of ideas.
I've never even heard of this app before... I'll install it now and tell you how it goes.
EDIT: Okay, I obviously have no friends on this at the moment... But I've been clicking around the app and it seems fine? I'm using Paragon RC6 right now. The GPS/Map component seems to be working fine anyway... I can't really send a voice clip or message through it (no-one to send it to).
EDIT2: Okay, I somehow sent a voiceclip/message to myself and I've recorded it, sent it, and then received it fine. I'll keep playing around with this a little bit further in the morning.
I really appreciate it, it will work at first, and then just stop sending and receving, the little sending icon just spins and spins...then you have to force close it and then start it again, then it works for a few messages and then stops again.
I'm having the same problem with the HeyTell app. It's pretty much hit or miss for me, sometimes it works good for a while, sometimes it sends blank messages. I have a ton of friends using this app on iPhones or other Android devices and they aren't having problems at all.
I have emailed the developer and he states that it works perfectly for him on his phone, whether or not that is true, I am not sure.
Not trying to thread jack but for some reason my hey tell doesn't get messages on time. I'll be next to a buddy and I'll get a message that he sent hours ago. Does anyone else have this issue? I just have the 2.2 froyo update, no custom roms.
I thought for sure HeyTell would work on Official 2.2 as well but I have the same issue your stating. Like I said though, the developer states he has no issues...I am not sure what is going to happen.
HeyTell Support
Are you sure you contacted HeyTell support? I don't have any record of sending a "works for me" answer on a report like this...drop me another email to refresh my memory at [email protected] if you can - thanks in advance!
So! We're aware of an issue on the Galaxy S series phones (Fascinate, Epic, Captivate, Vibrant) introduced by 2.2 firmware (Samsung only, 2.2 makes HeyTell better on other phones). Symptoms appear to be spotty network reporting, media player issues (inconsistent record behavior), and the OS killing HeyTell during screen dims.
We're currently working hard to find a workaround for affected users (and trying to get more info from Samsung), but in the meantime, if you could do us a favor and email us your firmware revision number and any logs you have related to the behavior, we'd greatly appreciate it!
Since I had the issue with Stock 2.2 and not with Stock 2.1 I am running Stock 2.1 until there is a fix. If your asking me for logs I cannot help you there unless I put 2.2 on my phone. i am currently running HeyTell version 181, I am willing to load 2.2 and work with you and get you information, just let me know. I love this app, but my phone is kinda laggy and slow running 2.1 and I want to be running 2.2.
I"m also using HeyTell on 2.2 and having quite a bit of troubles. I'd be happy to send you logs if you could explain to me how to do so. Thanks!
Just a little update, I finally got tired of stock 2.1 last night and decided to try out MIUI. I was pleased to find that after sending more than 10 messages back and forth, HeyTell has not failed yet.... I will be testing all day at work today, I am not sure if they updated the app or if something in MIUI allows it to work. I just thought I would update those few of you that have had the same problem as me.
Everything is still working fine with HeyTell, I am running MIUI Beta 6 and HeyTell is working perfectly. I did notice an update to from the market, I am hoping that could be a fix for other cutom Roms and Stock 2.2.
As MIUI has no samsung crap in it, it should work fine, since it seems to be a samsung issue. Runs fine on CM7 as well.
We put a workaround into builds 1.1.3 -- that fixed it for stock, but didn't catch all of the custom ROMs, so we spun 1.1.4 - give that a whirl and it should work. If anyone runs into this issue again, shoot us an email with your model number (Menu > Profile > Email Support sends this to us, so that may be the fastest method, but also don't forget to include a description of the issue you hit).
Oh sweet so HeyTell should be working fine now with stock 2.2? I will test it now, thanks alot!
Ever since I downloaded the update the app works great! Thanks!
Hey Tell Message Queue Issues
I've been having a problem for a while now where message don't come in automatically, as if they're caught up in the queue somehow. I have to exit HeyTell multiple times, manually click on the message, hit the stop and play buttons, or multiple combinations of all of these just to get a single message to play sometimes. I'm using a Samsung SGS3 with Synergy. Any way to fix this issue? Thanks much!
Since I received the Gingerbread OTA I have seen that when run gMaps it takes long time (minutes) to fix GPS. I think that is only for cold start, coz after fix if I close an restart the GPS it fixes in few seconds as normal.
I have tried with GPS Status but it seems everything OK.
Before Gingerbread it was really fast fixing both in cold and warm start.
Thx

I've also noticed the same problem. GPS seems to be much slower getting a fix on my position - even with a clear sky and at places it worked well before. Don't know if there's much I can do about it but hope for a patch from Google.
Seems that it's a very common issue, try to google " gingerbread slow gps fix"

Stock 2.3.3 ROM after OTA update, GPS only locked 1 out of 10 tries, and took a long time to do so. It is not even stable, and lost signal after a few minutes. I had looked everywhere including google forum, and there is no joy.
Finally read it somewhere to try GpsFix in the market and now GPS fixes in <10 seconds!
GPS-Fix Problem with Gingerbread
Hello,
i have the same problem after upgrading to Gingerbread 2.3.3. I have found this thread in the Google support forum (Search after this with Google):
GPS Navigation problems after Gingerbread update
and the issue is known aswell at Google issue tracking list (Search after this with Google):
NMEA Listener no longer working after upgrade to Gingerbread Issue ID 15500
The issue has been assigned medium priority over there. Maybe if more people can go there and star the issue, it will get up voted.
Sorry that i doesn't post the links directly, but its not permitted for me (not enough post so far)
The issue hasn't been assigned anything yet, the priority is 'medium' by default, once someone takes ownership of it, it should get a proper priority.
In the meantime you might like to try this:-
http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/09/09/gps-fix-for-cyanogenmod-6-on-the-nexus-one/
It works for me.
Hope it helps.

Yes, the GpsFix only worked for a few days, then the same problem surfaced again. So I followed the link and voila! now fast GPS fix again! Thanks!
Seems that 2.3.4 update fixed it...
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
I had the same problem on 2.3.4 and I fixed with the GPS Status, there is an option to clear all gps data. That worked for me, now the gps fix my position in a few seconds.
i used this
i have been using this [APP][ROOT] FasterFix [V1.5] - xda-developers. It needs root and also needs to be run once everytime i flash a nightly.
I get a fix in "seconds" rather than instantly. But i'm going to try that link posted above. You guys should check it out since nobody has mentioned it.
edit: on a second thought, i'd rather not try anything else because of the golden saying "if it ain't broke don't fix it" : )
That app will do nothing for the O2X, as it doesn't use the gps.conf file.
Anything it does is a placebo. CM7 now comes with a couple of GPS fixes, and that is probably the difference you're seeing.
