My GPS will not lock at all now.  I've done several battery pulls, etc., but it won't lock.

  Which GPS services are you using? It locks much faster if you use Google Location Services along with Standalone.

After updating the only problem I see as of now is I get a notification that the database storage is getting low

I think i am getting an extra 3 hours of battery life since the update. No problems with gps navagation yet , but havn't used it that much, but everthing else is satisfying.

;Did the download this morning while driving took about 20 minutes, did the install between jobs took about 10 minutes, no problems, all on battery power. Spent most of day playing with phone and found no problems so far.

Observations:

Phone, e-mail.text messages work.

GPS locks in about 15-30 seconds.

Google maps works fine.

Navigation works fine.

Transitions are very smooth.

It reports more bars of signal-don't know if it really recieves any more or just cosmetic change.

Average quadrant score with 2.1=885,  2.2=1000,  2.3=1360 .

These are very preliminary findings, will report more as time passes, nothing bad to report so far.

The phone seems to run a bit faster. It used to hesitate for a second or two sometimes changing screens or apps with the Froyo update and less battery life, stuff seems to load faster like web pages with Gingerbread.  I seem to have a bit more battery life. I had to archive my Kindle books then redownload them for them to work. Google Navigator did freeze up. I rebooted phone and uninstalled and reinstalled Google Maps. Navigator seems to work fine now. The music player seems to run a bit smoother and the sound seems a little better.

After this new update I noticed a nice change in my 3g and service levels which is awesome. The phone runs a little faster but:

I dont really like how many more apps are running on my phone. Ram is always over 300 until I kill apps.

Cont from above sorry.

Also I noticed that when I try to take pictures on the camera, its delayed for a few seconds.i went through settings already a fee times. Before update it would snap a photo right away which was great when u want to take pictures of your 1 1/2 yr old.

Anyone else experiencing any of these issues?

I havent messed with gps yet but im sure ill be finding more dislikes on this new update and posting.
