i personally hate the update.. no changes to the UI or the lockscreen or nothing,... u shouldnt have to D/L other programs just too change the UI, the update should do that.. just my personal opinion
I did the update and I seen a lot of changes Like speed when you install aps they added some more setting and the phone don't lag speed increase
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
The only reason i updated was for gingerbread and quicksettings. Speed-wise it seems to be about the same as froyo.
I agree with you on the speed. Everything seems to fun better. Like browsing cnn.com on desktop mode. Before the update it would lag pretty bad for me while scrolling. Also noticed that using my bluetooth headset works better.
It would have been nice to see changes to the default UI but I am totally happy with the update.

Why would they change the ui?
Take a minute and think about it. How many people have this phone and do nothing to mod it... or have any clue how to.
So... if they changed the ui from what the phone was sold with... do you think the average dumbass human would take the time to learn.... or just take the phone in or call freaking out.
You don't buy a car then expect a new paint job when you took it in for an oil change do you?
Just saying. Topics like this make me want to boat over a dolphin and club a baby seal.

do any of your guys facebook contacts sync with your phone book contact after the update?
lol, facebook won't sync with 2.3.4 facebook refuses to follow the android standard, google gave them a ”grace period” to comply and they haven't so it's not going to work until facebook gets off their high house. I lol because this is really old news, guess you don't follow tech blogs/sites

My facebook sync's just fine on 2.3.4
From what I have read facebook is going to put out their own o/s for phones. I don't see it going very far though.

Mine syncs fine with 2.3.5 too.
Battery life. AMAZING. I would get 10 hours on froyo. 1gb data a month..web browsing YouTube Facebook etc.. hundreds of texts a day. Push email. Take a couple pics a day with flash.sync and auto brightness on. Occasional GPS.
16 hours of battery life. 11am - 3am. Wow. Today I only charged it a little to 65%. I got 9-10 hours from that with the same usage.
If I use it from 7am on, im confident it'll be on low battery at 11pm, rather than after dinnertime.
lucky bastards

I just installed about half hour ago and I have to say it's fantastic! Google is on UI TEAR right now #winning.
I really like how they condensed the app list into two columns and made each smaller. It now shows 14 apps per page on my Sensation where the old Market only showed like 5 or 6. Makes scrolling through content much faster.
I also really like the additions of the "Top Grossing", "Top New Paid", "Top New Free", and "Trending" categories. Will make app discovery much more useful!
My only gripe is that it doesn't show the file size for an app UNTIL you start downloading. This is info that needs to stay up front!
I agree with just about everything you said. They did great with the new market. So you are not. Having the same speed issues as me?

Oops I left that part out. It IS a lil slow compared to the old market, little lag but nothing too crazy. I think mostly b/c there is much more info on each page now and the way it loads the thumbnails/images, even though they are smaller. I'm sure they will iron it out quickly though
Google did an amazing job.
It looks so clean and beautiful, everything is organized better, etc. And I'm not having the slow loads or anything that you are having. It's actually faster. With the old market you would click download and it would take a second or 2 to start, but on this new market I click download and it's literally instant. I love it.
It actually looks like a market that should be on a high end OS/phone, unlike the old market.
Slow for me as well. It'll take a while to get used to the new format, but so far so good.

just trying it out too -- its pretty slick. The front page is a little busy perhaps, but overall its great.
I'm liking it as well.
Installed it earlier.. Love it!!
new market is slick as hell. I love it. I don't really notice too much of a lag compared to the old market, which I hated in the first place especially in landscape mode. The new one looks more sophisticated.
fyi, in case nobody caught on, when you hit the menu button and go into setting while in the market, you can deselect "recieve interest based ads". I don't know if that had anything to do with it but I really don't have any lag. Also, I pulled the battery right after I installed it so some of you guys might wanna try that too.
I took the liberty of showing you guys what gingerbread looks like- on video. New features include Android 2.3.4 (but no video chat on G-Talk?), new T-Mo bloatware, quick settings, etc. check it out!

Thanks for the vid. I could be wrong, but isn't this the first Sense ROM to have Android 2.3.4? Every other version of Sense I've seen has had 2.3.3. Cool!

My screen is very responsive running on Virtuous Unity. I noticed that too on the video. I'd hope an update wouldn't make your screen unresponsive. He may not have been touching right those few times. Also, some apps get like that from time to time where they get a little unresponsive
so basically nothing changed like i dont really see a difference looks wise i mean i would rather flash and all so i can get nice themes and all

I noticed that they changed the camera as well, it now has more effects. The calculator has been tweaked as well. And this may be just me, but the battery life seems better. I'm still in green and usually by now I'm in yellow.

+1, for such a widely used social networking site, you would think the app would be a bit more intuitive. They def need a major overhaul..
Is it the same for all platforms or just us?

Network Location and cotact management that does not suck. Managing groups, sharing VCard files etc should not require an app.
Oh same goes for quick dialing (IE you dial a name and it brings up your contacts)

NFL Mobile; I am on the same boat...
better camera app and louder incall volume.
Just remove the AOSP Camera and replace it with the MIUI camera. It is much better.
Also I agree getting NFL Mobile to work would be awesome!
I hate to say it but if Verizon is going to charge for the NFL app ($10 a month) I have a feeling the need for it is going to decrease.
On the other hand I would pay you to get Network Location working. That is the only thing that keeps me from AOSP. There is just way too many things that need it. Also, I agree with above poster, might as well just replace Camera with MIUI camera. Much, much better.

It is missing all of the sense stuff that I love.
A clock/weather widget that works like Sense (location changes as you do and does not have to be set.)
Better MMS (Bubble type/conversation)
Better Email client (I've tried all the others, I like something that integrates with the calendar and contacts better)
Sense 3.0 based devices all have this....which is why I keep coming back to it.
While I know there are apps/launchers that do some of this, the reason Sense is my choice is because it does all of this out of the box without apps.
I do like Launcher Pro's people widget and calendar widget set to agenda....that's the reason I bought it over sticking with ADW which I know DT likes!
Android Pro Widgets IMO kill the sense Widgets... they are sweet. I aftereffects, the Cam is lack luster... but I am working with the time I have to port the Sense Cam.

Funny I'm using Insertcoin 3.4.0 that you have listed in your sig. It's just the new market is much more image intensive and take a while to initially load. I speed test in the 4-6mbps range with my HSPA+ and it still takes a few seconds of watching the "loading" screen when I first launch market. On edge it can take 10-15 seconds.
I wasn't aware that the market actually notified you about there being the actual market updates, I thought it updated itself silently behind the scenes.
