~OFFICIAL: FRG01B FroYo Issues/Solutions Thread~

Ok, so I believe I figured out what was/is causing my loss of GPS control.
I was using the GPS on/off widget from CurveFish that would turn GPS on, but not off post 2.2 update. I removed the app, but still could not control the function, so I resorted the the dreaded "battery yank".
After regaining control, I tried re-installing the app just to verify my findings. Same song, verse two.
The two other CurveFish apps (bluetooth and Wifi switches) I have, seem to be working OK post update.
Another issue is that only three of my downloads are showing up in the market. This is a new issue for me since about mid-day today. When I search for apps I have installed, they are reported as installed, but don't show in my downloaded list.
Battery life is reduced noticeably, but I'll take it in exchange for all the cool new things I'm finding in deuce dot deuce.
Google voice controls = must have app IMO

anyone have any luck with slingplayer mobile yet???
Yeah, but it took me about 5 installations before it registered.
It would appear this was isolated to Handcent.... an un/reinstall of the app took care of the problem! 
Yes it will wipe your data and your apps. But your paid apps (and sometimes all) of your apps will be in your download folder in the Market after you sign back in. All your contacts will return upon sign in.
Yes, it's a bit of a pain. Just did it myself the other day but there's a good chance that will fix your issue.
That is unless you have a better idea.

Please Help! Froyo 2.2 broke my camera! (not just the hue!)
***Moving this plea to this thread at a moderator's request (sorry, just a newb) I'm going to start reading through the 39 pages or so of this thread, but if anyone already knows of a fix hidden within, please let me know ***
So the 2.2 update came down for both my girlfriend's Droid and my own yesterday. While excited to finally see many of the changes I had read about, I soon found that I could no longer take pictures...
The camera app opens just fine after hitting the camera button. It even makes the picture-taking noise and seems to take a picture upon pressing the "shutter" button. But the little square where the thumbnail of the last picture taken is usually shown remains black. Upon going to the gallery the pictures I have (seemingly so) just taken are not present. Also, some entries in the gallery (5 of the only 13 I have so far) are now empty squares: in the case where they used to be pictures selecting them leads to a blank screen, some must have been video because upon selecting those empty squares I get a "sorry, video cannot be played" error.
Please Help? My searches only turn up people having trouble with red and purple hues on their camera...
Edit: Apparently the blank squares showing up in the gallery ARE the new pictures I've been trying to take, rather than corruption of older pics. Also I failed to mention the the same problem HAS occurred on my gf's Droid as well.

A factory reset and reboot fixed the problem!!! Thanks to RW-1 for the advice! dancedroid
The Update All function is there, however I just discovered today some apps will show
Update Available (manual update)
When you start the manual update on that app, at the top of the screen it will give you the option to change permissions to allow automatic update. So when new updates are available at the bottom of the screen an Update All button will be available.
However, I understood that background updates would be available so that we would never have to worry about updates again...anybody know anything about this?
Yep, sure will!
i've skimmed this whole thread. i cant get my corporate calendar to work. i saw the post that said if you go into calendar hit menu, etc. that didn't work because it only showed my gmail and not my work email that i want to sync to a calendar. is there an app to get my work email to sync? id really like my old widget before 2.2.
