Your experience with Gingerbread

[Initech_milton]

So has anyone downloaded and installed Gingerbread and what's your experience?

[SydneyK]

I would like to hear about others' experiences too.

Love your user name, btw. One of my favorite movies!

I updated to gingerbread this morning so far i have not noticed any difference may take more use to be able to notice any difference

[Initech_milton]

I couldn't resist so went ahead and installed it. Can't tell any difference except a few minor changes. No change in signal strength. At least it didn't seem to have screwed up anything.

Where can I get the GB update to see if it works?

I seem to have lost my alarm clock....   tried different widgets / skins / clocks.....  NO ALARM

Same here. I have created a thread on this topic.

Check your Apps screen. Do you still have a Clock App? Mine is missing.

Now, I would have thought that the testing teams would surely have noticed the Alarm Clock disappearing!! Seems like it would pretty obvious.

I was going to update to Gingerbread as I have low signal reception (lucky to get 2 bars but mostly 1 bar or none), but after reading the update did not seem to help that problem I haven't yet updated, I think I may wait awhile. I have only had this phone since yesterday.

I returned the Samsung Fascinate due to problems after it's Froyo update. Sure hope this update works out better. I would hate to be stuck with a bad phone for 2 years, since I cannot return this one for another, used my only one exchange per upgrade for the Incredible 2.

If you have the clock widget on one of the screens, you can get to the alarm app just by clicking on the HTC clock widget.

Not after upgrading to GB. That is the very problem many of us are facing.

Everything was fine after the upgrade.  In fact, I had to look closely to be sure it had upgraded.  At first nothing seemed to change.  I only knew I had upgraded by checking the software version and later by noticing the settings tab on the notifications screen.  We didn't get the new darker keyboard, nor did we get some of the animations (ie, scrolling in app drawer) or colored notification icons that was in the stock Gingerbread update. 

But I'm happy overall with the small changes.  At least nothing got messed up in the phone.

Go to settings, scroll down all the way to software update, then check new. It will search for new updates and it will find GB then go ahead and download it. Hope this helps

Mine working good after update to GB, no any better or worse, same as before.

I don't see any improvement in battery life. Maybe that's because I am already on "low battery usage" settings (no backgroud data, turn off GPS, WiFi, low brightness etc).
