I just noticed that my android market updated itself! It seems like the text in the app descriptions got a bit smaller, and there is kind of a white fade at the top when you scroll down the market. Could this update be for the in-app purchases?? :O and did anyone else notice this update?
Edit: i forgot to mention, my market is version 2.3.2
Anyone? No? or was it just me? lol
I got the update this morning but didn't notice any difference
The font has been updated, to take advantage of bigger, hi-res screens...

Every seems to have missed the biggest fix - the stupid green thing is no longer pinned to the top taking extra space away...

looks better imo! haven't really noticed any difference in functionality yet but I only just updated.
i like the new look although the app is still nothing compared to the iphone one...
i updated thru the market. I created a private group on facebook but still not able to use the android app to post anything on it.
Anyone has any ideas?
I like the new facebook app...dunno what you are complaining about at all.
fracking retarded that it still doesn't have it's own dedicated browser and diverts to the stock browser....but whatever.
Seems very good in my opinion liking the new events and the notifications bar.
Great progress! like it...only the menu layout& icons is a little bit too square..reminds me of WinMo
Please have a look of your "Partiak wake usage" using *#*#4636#*#*
Here's some blue notification icons I whipped together if anyone wants, for you themers...

Hmm, that doesn't look good.
Now all we need is someone to put together a black/smoke/transparent widget for it that will work on deodexed Froyo/CM6
Wow, partial wake for facebook is about 25% of my unplugged time. Unacceptable.
this new version blows... there is no landscape mode, wtf is up with the picture updates on the bottom? no chat... links are broken or take you to the full site which is practically unusable on a phone... no real big useful changes to the app itself... big fail and waste of everyone's time in my opinion
Hahaha yes!

Love, love, love the new Facebook app. About time we got an update!
My phone hasn't slept but ten minutes since update...? Can someone post old app? Lol
here 1.2. got it from the gapps-hdpi-FRF91-signed.
Anyone get the slingplayer update today to v1.2? Mine says update in market but then wont download.
I just downloaded with no problem. Its just a small update, not like the one iOS received. Im sure Android phones will get those features soon.
Mine downloaded fine. All I see is the ability to scroll through with page up and down. Still a nice feature. Also seems a little bit quicker when making selections or scrolling around.
I got it to work. Pretty good update with the HQ video now.

Hey so something weird has happened. I turned off my phone and when I turned it on again my market seems to be a very old version... just totally randomly. It looks even older than what it was prior to the current update. Anybody know what has happened?

Picture? I'm curious.
Are you sure it's not the new market that is rolling out?
Oh wow. Actually it appears to be the new market. It's the same as this:

LOL?? Glad u find out...

It does have kind of a 70s retro Brady Bunch/Partridge Family look and feel to it, and it does seem to suck much more than the "older" version, so... I can understand userno's confusion.

I don't know but the new market is WAY BETTER than old one.
Meh its ok. I have my DPI set to 190 so it thinks its a tablet... except it doesn't display properly. My Transformer and G2x markets looks the same however it still reads the device info from the build.prop so I'm not missing out on apps.
But what I don't like is that if I click on games and go to "Top Free", it only displays so many. I haven't really found an option to Browse All.
I liked the old version where I could just scroll through tons and tons of stuff.
call me weird but i was expecting more. the update release said new widgets and icons and colors and all im seeing is a new color on the notification bar. i have yet to find new widgets or icons or different looking icons or widgets. the phone looks exactly the same except for the notification bar and that little yellow thing that pops up when you reach the bottom of a screen. yes im happy about the speed improvement. the phone is a lot faster then before but other then that its the same old charge
the color scheme is wack. FUGLY!

This was a software update, not a device refresh. They fixed bugs, revved the Android version, and improved the radios. I'm not sure why you (or anyone else) was expecting major changes to the look/functionality of the device.
I'm not sure why they didn't at least take the Stratosphere's interface design/colors (which is more uniform), as that is essentially the same phone with a smaller screen and physical keyboard.

+1 My wife just got a Stratosphere and the color scheme is what the Charge's should've been. Everything that's poopy and orange on our phones is green on hers. Jealous...

The Verizon PDF said so, that's why.
I see this as a major rip off. It's the biggest case of false advertisement since the Marvel Comic "The New Fantastic Four" which stated on the cover that the Punisher makes a cameo appearance and the only place you can find him is in an ad for subscriptions.
I don't really care seeing as I'm running the ICS theme....but F-U Verisung.

One legitimate complaint that I have is they borked the built in screen capture function. You can no longer capture some screens (notification shade for example) because the phone lags while trying to produce a stupid animation before capturing the screen.
Yes, it would be possible to use an app from the market but I should not need to. They essentially removed a useful feature.
Also I find that the orange page limit glow gets in the way or certain things. It sometimes covers up what I am trying to look at. If I want to drag a photo to be able to see the edge in the gallery app for example when zoomed in. The stupid orange glow covers up the picture; having the glow cover up a web page is one thing but covering up the edge I am trying to look at is wrong. Essentially they removed the functionality of being able to drag a web page, image, etc., to the center of the screen and view it.

Camera Issue
I was pleased with the update, and color scheme doesn't matter to me near as much as a more stable radio, and more responsive interface. Here is the reason I wish I would not have updated. CAMERA! I have a 2 year old and a 2 month old. Before, you could press and hold the shutter button to focus, and when you released it instantly snapped the shot. Now, that's a no go! A second + lag...... Hard to get the "good" shot that is hard to get. Bummer!
i love the speed improvements thats for sure. the phone is 100 times faster then it was but i think if verizon is going to publish documents claiming new icons and new widgets they should probably deliver on that.
I get FFC so I'm happy.

I'm not happy. They took away and broke crap while in the process.
Well I just got my Charge from FedEx man 20 minutes ago, and after turning on phone and it "activating" the GSB update was the first screen to pop up, no user setup, Google account, etc. So i can't say how well the old version worked :/ But The update downloaded off 4G FAST...first app off market was Speed Test, and it got blazing 23069kbps down and 14094kbps up!

Got my Charge in May. I run stock because I don't care what the interface looks like. I need it to work, no time for bricks, make phone calls, txt, Google Docs etc. I was about done with Froyo because it was getting so slow, it seemed almost like it was being emulated on my phone. Was about to make a stink with Verizon.
Got the update. It fixed every single bug/complaint I ever had with the phone, and/or it enhanced every feature by fine tuning it.
Here is a short list of complaints fixed immediately:
GUI now hauls butt with little or no lag
bluetooth works perfectly and connects to my headset and stays connected
programs close on their own - don't have to constantly free memory
GPS works and is accurate
Yahoo Mail in email actually WORKS
The call quality is the clearest of any phone I've ever had (I do have great coverage here). 4G LTE hauls butt. With GB This phone makes my old iPhone looks like a piece of garbage.
Just my opinion.
i found the fancy new icons they were boasting about. the update available and download complete icons are new. ooohhhh aahhhhh.

My phone doesn't show an available update yet, not sure why, perhaps it's because I'm running Humble 5.0 and not stock . . . Anyway, when I do get the new OTA, how do I get the new icons/widgets? Is it a separate download or something? Thanks!
I was on engadget looking if there were new announcements from I/O today. I saw more a news article on Engadget corroborating the white nexus speculation that has been buzzing recently.
They said there was a source (in vietnamese) with more pictures. So I clicked through.
In the gallery, my worst fears were confirmed, the white back has a black face. Yuck :silly:
But more importantly there is an unlock screen that is unfamiliar to me. I have been using android since 1.5 cupcake on the vogue and have never seen this.
Maybe its not new, and someone knows what this is? Or Maybe its a new lockscreen in 4.3. It may not be new from Google because i don't see how lock screen widgets would play into this. Unless the bar goes away.
I'm opening the floor to speculation.
Looks like MIUI unlock screen.
That is MIUI ...
Mayb go locker theme...
Seems fake to me...
