I did the manual update yesterday and have noticed a couple things, when on the home screen i can not get the orientation to change unless i pull out the keyboard, also the keyboard backlighting seems to flake out, cut on cut off.Anyone else havin this issue?

Check to see if the change orientation box is checked in the settings. I didn't think that feature worked with the stock laucher, though, unless it changed with 2.1 For the backlight on the keyboard you could try settings>sounds & display>brightness>uncheck and re-check the box. It worked with two phones I was having the same issue with.

As of installing 2.1 yesterday, Dolphin Browser no longer fits the page to my screen when I pinch/zoom. I still have auto fit page turned on. So it's basically useless since I zoom in all the time and now the text goes off the screen. I can't even find the stock browser now. Using the regular browser icon brings up dolphin. Before 2.1 I could use either one, dolphin icon for dolphin, browser icon for the stock browser.

That's Dolphin's problem,not 2.1. You have to build the app to the OS, not the other way around. Dolphin will have to make some adjustments.

Anyway the stock browser does pinch and zoom fine now. Other then tabs I don't see a need for Dolphin. YMMV and probably will.

But I can't seem to start the stock browser. Maybe if I uninstall dolphin. I'll have to give that a try.

My Droid was less responsive, touch and otherwise when I updated. But I deleted enough running apps to get things smoother, however I noticed I was not receiving my gmail updates. It would manually refresh but not automatically which was annoying me to no end. I tried every fix I could think of and nothing worked until I deleted the gmail account...which requires a factory reset!!! So...if you end up having the gmail synching issues...have fun setting up your phone all over again....luckily, even after re-installing everything, my phone is running much smoother.

Once I unchecked the Dolphin set as default browser, I can use either one. BUT the stock browser also isn't auto fitting pages after pinch zooming. It only auto fits if I tap the + or - magnification settings. And auto fit is enabled.

I don't know if it's been addressed, but when I go to Gallery to view pics it tells me application is not installed... ?

Try dragging the one on the homescreen into the trash and bring up the new one from the app drawer.

If you're trying to access the gallery through a shortcut you had for the old gallery app before updating to 2.1, that's the error message you'll get. Delete that shortcut and create a new one from the new gallery icon in the app drawer.

So I decided to change the number of screen I use with Helix and now I'm in a force close loop. I've tried to get the droid into safe mode but after it vibrates on the droid eye, there is no indication of it being in safe mode. do i hold both the power and menu button(kb) until the droid eye comes up? Or do I hold power and menu together until it starts to power up and keep holding the menu button until the Droid eye comes up and goes away? thanks for the help. this is frustrating as hell since it is my first force close loop incident.
