Few Issues - Can you help me?

Hi all,
I have noticed a few problems/issue, just wondering if anyone else has noticed them:
1. Poor streaming from youtube - it becomes very pixelated and I can hardly see or hear a thing.
2. When you have the security set on the phone (PIN) and the phone is locked, when you receive a call you cannot see who is calling you!! Even once I have typed in my PIN and unlocked the phone I still cannot see who is calling me!! Very annoying cos i love the PIN feature.
3. Phone lags heavily once I have sent a text message. I mean about 10 or 11 seconds it freezes and doesn't respond to any input.
4. How do you pan in and out (zoom in and out) using the GUI? I can do it with the volume rocker but in the guide it says to "to pan a page, touch and hold the screen, then move your finger" which doesn't do anything for me but scroll..
5. Activesync keeps appearing in my running programs. I haven't set it up and have not used activesync yet so i'm not sure why it keep appearing in my running programs - I have to stop it roughly 8 or 9 times a day! Not sure how to disable it.
6. Panels - anyone have any idea when we might see some new panels? I've looked at the Sony Ericsson "fun" site and tried a couple of those but just wondering if anyone has any info on when we might see some new ones?? and where??
7. The RAM. This doesn't seem as though its pushing that extra RAM that we were promised. It states that it's running 256mb RAM but i'm sure SE told the world that we would see 400mb RAM? Apparently the extra RAM is locked to the CPU (so i've read) but how can we be sure?? Anyone know more about this?
Can't think of anymore issues I got but they are the main ones. On the whole its a great phone, i love it.. I've been waiting for a very long time for this and its really lived up to expectations.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

Setup a fake server connection with any data in ActiveSync. Set it to manual update. After that, delete it again and it should stop appearing. Have done so on other WM phones, but haven't tried it on this one.

Thanks for the replies,
I tried the Activesync thing and i'll let you know how it goes.
Tried the double tap for the "pan" and it still didnt do anythin (tried it whilst using IE, Opera, and viewing images) Does the "pan" mean to zoom in or is it to scroll? I'm confused lol..
Anyone experience any of the other things?

double tap is for zoom and if you move your finger it moves the page

oh ok.. I have tried double clicking on nearly everything that I can zoom in on (IE, Opera, images etc) but it doesn't seem to respond..
Is there a setting or anything that I need to select?

In Opera it should work without any problems. So if you double tap nothing at all happens? did you try it with the stylus?

Mine does this unless im in a 3G/H area then its perfect

Hi,
I got the zoom working with the double tap in opera..
My youtube always seems to be messed up even if im in 3G/H area
Activesync still seems to be playing up - it just appears in my running programs now n again and i have to stop it. ive even synced up to my pc and changed all settings to manual and tried to disable and other connections
Sorted number 2 and 3 by turning the phone off and taking out the battery and putting it back in and turning it on hehe

This is what I did to disable the auto ActiveSync, seems to work fine for me:
1. Open ActiveSync.
2. Hit 'Menu' --> 'Configure Sever'.
3. For Email Address, type "[email protected]" (or whatever you like) and uncheck the box.
4. 'Next', server address, type "[email protected]" (or whatever) the box underneath stays checked.
5. 'Next', User name, PW, and Domain: Type "Blah" for all of them and check the box.
6. 'Next', uncheck all the data it wants to Sync and hit 'Finish'.
7. Back in the ActiveSync home hit 'Menu' and 'Schedule', Make sure 'Sync during' is Manually for both options and uncheck 'Send/Recieve when I click'. Hit 'Ok'.
After that I didn't have any issues with ActiveSync connecting on it's own and Task manager stays unburdened.

for youtube try the standalone player and panel it works better.

Hint: after sending sms hit OK on the keypad or the screen.
It freezes when you hit "dismiss".
"Pan" maybe means enabling smooth scrolling? It works everywhere: contacts, menus, email.....

Aha, the RAM: X1 has 256MB for user,
PLUS 128MB for graphics.
Total: 384MB.

List of bugs found in Froyo, please add them here

Please put all the bugs you have found in Froyo in this thread and eventually this can be forwarded to HTC.
Edit: the push functionality seems to be working to some capacity.
- Crash/force close -
Internet Browser
*Issue: When selecting accept all plugins in the settings for the stock browser it will force close on execution
**Work around/solution: Select to clear all data in the application settings for the browser
- Loss of functionality -
Email App/Widget
*Issue: Push email not working as before. The email will sometimes fail to sync (when other mail clients can sync) and push communications is sometimes only one way (phone to webmail)
- Non-verified bugs/issues -
Google Earth
*Issue: Google Earth App not available on market

I am expiriencing a very bad performance of SenseUI after upgrading to froyo. Everything is slower than it was before?

very bad performance if I use live wallpapers.
thats all for now^^

The browser has a few issues - when a page is still loading, there is a refresh button instead of a stop button, and copy and paste is very buggy.

I think it would be best if users post what ROM they're using...
But back on topic: Sometimes my sense restarts with no error report/popup whatsoever...

All my alarms were resetted... Could be just my phone, I dunno, but quite annoying if I hadn't noticed

All my alarms where reset aswell....but that's not a big problem to me. What is, is that also my entire agenda/calendar was wiped. :/
And it does seem froyo is loading stuff (like picture preview tiles, app lists, setting menus, the folder list in 'Pictures' app, etc.) a lot slower then eclair. And I'm not even running an animated wallpaper.

Let's go!
- Although Froyo is way faster for everthing, sometimes (i mean often!) my phone starts to slow down and i've unfortunately to reboot my phone..
- The music app has become resistant to task killers (at least on my phone). Probably like a bacteria to antibiotics??
Some surprises:
- Fonts are more beatiful to read, especially the text under icons (that striked me when I just updated)
-My greys are not pinkish anymore!!!
- Fonts on the SMS app are a bit bigger and it's really better (but the textfield is not as beautiful as before), and we have photos like on handcent on the conversations list.
I will not list everthing because there is a topic on the desire forums but i hadn't read that.

As I have mentioned in my thread everything works fine for me howeverwhen called or trying to call the other side does not hear my voice

same here its slower then before...also app drawer is laggy.

Try removing the live backgrounds, it works like a charm without it.

Go around the loss of push email by installing a non HTC phone's mail.apk.
I have the 2.1 Milestone and it works beautifully.

Im running the de-branded UK Vodafone Froyo ROM and honestly have to say there are no issues with speed at all. Even with live wallpapers running, all homescreens remain fast and smooth, as does the app drawer.
I did do a fresh install however with a full wipe, I then used TitaniumBackup to restore alarms, SMS messages, etc when done

Did not wipe or factory reset, just installed froyo. Everything works fine. No speed issues, my weather started working correct again, push mail works fine. And after living with sms bug for one whole day, i'm very happy to say it's gone... So suprisingly nothing to complain about yet.

New day, new bugs.
- Loss of functionality -
Wifi Connection
*Issue: An active wifi connection will stop working properly if the phone has been in sleep mode for some time. The wifi connection symbol will still be displayed (and always at the same level of reception (in my case full)) and the email clients will not warn of lack of connection and instead try to sync for ever.
**Work around/solution: Change wifi policy settings in settings - wifi - menu button - advanced from 15 minutes to something else. This might work to some extent, otherwise solution is to disable and re-enable wifi connection.

Hi, one annoying detail after updating: my 'Gmail Unread Count' widget has suddenly started to launch the Gmail app opening the most recent message, instead of opening the inbox.
When I launch Gmail directly from the apps list, it opens the inbox as it should. 'Course this issue is not related to Froyo, but I imagine I'm not the only one dependent on the 'Unread Count' widget. Anyone experiencing the same?

I'm experiencing extreme performance degradation after the upgrade to Froyo!
I'm running an unbranded HTC Legend, stock rom, upgraded via Systems Software Updates OTA, I'm running ADW and Handscent. Other that that, it's stock. (3.15.405.3)
People are complaining that they can't hear me properly! This is the biggest concern I have so far!
Switching between Home Screens is slower, it hangs and it's less responsive. (Swipe, hangs for a second, then moves)
Using the back button to exit apps is very VERY slow. (Handscent is almost unusable)
Opening apps is slower. When pressing app, it zoom towards the screen faster, but hangs afterwards.
Scrolling in almost every app/widget is slow and lags!!!!!!
Entering the lock screen pattern is very slow
Scrolling the app drawer is very slow
It appears it's mostly a scrolling issue?
Another thing is that lock screen does not always work. The screen goes off and when I enable it again, I get right to the first home screen. Ie. no lock pattern. (FOUND IT : It now says "lock screen after 5 minutes"....so I set it to immediately.)
Also using "Gmail Unread Count" widget goes straight to first message, not the inbox. Does not matter if the message is already read.

Try going into the WiFi settings, then press the menu button and choose advanced. You will find WiFi sleep options in here. Choose the second or third option as you see fit. I've not tested it but I think it may solve your problem.

I experienced the slowness briefly, but after rebooting a couple of times it seems fine - if anything actually much faster! Not sure what exactly is causing the problem though...

[REF] Desire Z - OTA 1.72 for those without root etc

Hi
This thread is about the new 1.72 OTA update for anyone who hasn't rooted, s-off'd etc.. Its for discussing changes, improvements, new bugs and such like. As there is no official change list, note it down and we'll get there.
If you own, or have questions about the G2, this is not applicable, the software is different. This is for the Stock Desire Z as shipped. Thanks!!
Downloaded over WLAN and it installed in about 10 mins and several reboots. If you can, try hard reset as its been reported this helps with the SMS notification bug.
My observations (UK SIM free):
New Android build (2.2.1)
New Kernel (2.6.32.21-g540976a Dec 1st)
New Radio (12.28e.60.140fU_26.04.02.17_M2)
Fixes:
Battery life better (mixed reports, but probably slightly better)
Rear speaker louder (again, needs to be tested in the wild)
Wireless LAN seems a lot quicker
Camera application improved.. (Stuttering improved when recording 720p Thanks, monomer888 & tbalden)
Snappier / Smoother menu transitions
More characters in hardware SYM list (like < and > )
Annoying Text message bug seems better but not solved (type screen jumps down as msg's load)
The delivery receipt now shows the contact name instead of the phone number. (Thanks missparker76)
Adding linked (Phone + Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.) contacts to groups (e.g. Favorites) now works - they appear in the list of contacts when trying to add them. (Thanks Darthmelk)
BUGS:
SMS notifications.. Occasionally doesn't notify, sometimes cant dismiss until you go to the notification screen (Thanks Algobardo) HTC are aware..
Its lost my notification settings, sounds, volumes but that easy to put back. Kept themes, backgrounds, widgets and most other settings.
[RESOLVED] HTCSense.com not connecting to phone. Messages and Contacts still sync but unable to get location, lock or ring phone.
Slightly increased lag when rotating sense (Thanks knoeki )
Gallery showing unviewable files as a broken icon, sometimes not updating (Thanks moolash)
Changes:
New Dock menu item in settings?? (I thought it was new too Darthmelk)
LinkedIn and Picasa updates are either included, or working properly now. (Thanks Darthmelk)
Discuss!!

HTC said something about camera improvements, notice anything there ?

Erm, there seems to be more settings to play with. Maybe a bit quicker to focus and flash timing improved..

And it fixed my menu button

It wouldn't work... The phone would vibrate when I pressed it but nothing would appear, although the one on the keyboard would open the menu
Got me scared at first... thought it was a faulty phone

I think there's a new "Dock" option in Settings, to start the Car Panel automatically when the phone is mounted in a holder. Was it there before? Probably there are lots of very small bug-fixes we don't notice.
Battery seems as bad as always for now (using push and 2hr syncs), the hardware keyboard still doesn't have the romanian symbol "ă" when long-pressing "a". Btw, is there a way to install other languages for the hardware keyboard? I only get English.

after the ota mine has a quite annoying problem.
When i read a sms message the notification on top doesn't disapper unless i access the messaging application through the notification itself.
Anyone with the same problem ?
Suggested solutions ?

Confirmed.. Thats annoying. [EDIT] SOMETIMES!!!! Its now working.
It did it for me initially when I got the phone with stock 1.34 but never did it again.. Maybe its while it refreshes / builds the back end database.
Just now I sent about 4 messages (from external devices) where it would not dismiss or in one case not even notify!! But i've sent about 10 now that work flawlessly every time.
Maybe worth clearing all the messages out after upgrading. Its clear they've been working on the SMS app as I don't get the jumping text box any more

Ive had that annoying notification bug (Hi, 1 week into desire z ownership btw), and I have definitely had messages without notification too. Does seem to be a bit random tho. Will see how it goes. Otherwise, it's a pretty good phone. Nice to see a section with ppl who don't root the lives outta their phones, i'm trying really hard not to for a while if i can, as you just end up changing things and re-setting everything up on a weekly basis else, and i've had enough of all that.

Nope, that will only change all the text into Romanian, but it will not add a Romanian hardware keyboard option (so no "ă" character when long-pressing "a").

At last - I'm not going mad - mine does this too after the OTA update - it's really really annoying. It's actually worse than described, because if you clear the notification by dragging the notification bar, any future SMS messages will *not* actually be alerted - no sound, no notification icon, no notification button number.
We need a fix...

I don't have this problem. If I get a new SMS, I can slide to the SMS widget and the notification clears instantly (but the SMS is still unread until I get to the SMS app, of course). If I clear the notification after dragging down the notification screen, I will get a new notification when a new SMS arrives.
"When i read a sms message the notification on top doesn't disapper" - where do you read the SMS if not inside the SMS app?

As i've previously posted, I haven't had the no notification or clear problem since.. I've been sending and receiving messages so it seems to clear itself. I use the messaging app from a shortcut.
See if it just clears by itself..

Yeah, ok. If it persists, I may use SMS Backup and clear out the database and start afresh. It is behaving at the moment...
Anyone notice the new teardrop caret/cursor when moving the cursor in a text input box?
Also, camera is still pants compared with my old Desire and the update doesn't seem to have done anything to improve quality.

I got this for Xmas, I openen the box and before playing around with 1.34 that came with it I installed the OTA 1.72.
I am amazed, have no bugs to complain about. I do not see a reason to get root or so. Sense is fine, I love it.
I came from WM, pretty many tweak skills, but i don't need tweaking any yet.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

I have definitly noticed issue with sms notification too ... Undoubtly there is something wrong and it triggers just sometimes.
Another thing which may have changed is in menu where you choose your ring tone - I think there wasnt option to choose any mp3 from your phone. I had have to google some instructions how to do it which involved copying mp3 to the specific folder.

Yeah, updated fine all seems good, only thing to complain about is the SMS problems, doesnt even let me know i got a text most the time.
Tried factory reset erasing everything ect nothing helps
Just have to wait for a fix then i guess...

Bugs in OTA 2.3.3 for Desire Z - add yours

While generally being quite happy with the Gingerbread update for my Desire Z, clearly there are a few glitches.
First of all, my DZ is a Nordic version with the characters Æ, Ø, Å, Ä and Ö on the hardware keyboard.
On 2.2 before the OTA there was a bug which consistently caused capitalization of Æ, Ø and Å (æøå) when using the hardware keyboard. I don't know about Ä and Ö which are only used in Swedish and not in Danish and Norwegian.
This bug is now fixed using the native keyboard but still present using Scandinavian Keyboard which I have installed from Market. I must admit that I have not contacted the developer to ask if this could be a bug in the app.
Sadly, I have now experienced another bug related to the hardware keyboard after updating to 2.3 - today it happened for the second time.
When typing in Whatsapp and the SMS app (and possibly other apps) using the hardware keyboard pressing "S" will open the SMS app, pressing "G" will open Gmail and pressing "B" will open the built-in browser (not Dolphin HD which is set to default). This is fixed by a reboot (temporarily, it seems). Incidentally, the bug disappeared just now without a reboot while checking if it was also present in Gmail.
The missing pictures bug in HTC's gallery app is still there - still using QuickPic.
Anything that is not listed here - please add to the thread.
EDIT:
As many others I also get the constant Sense restarting thing which is driving me insane!
Also the brightness setting itself to maximum many times.
A handful random reboots. A couple happened with no apps open and doing nothing on the phone - I just happened to notice when it rebooted.
Since monomer888's advise I haven't had another shortcut typing bug happen (as of yet). Thanks!
I'm running software version 2.42.405.2 CL84109

- when exit from a fullscrren app, sometimes the status bar doesnt fit all screen, leting a space (about 10% of the screen space). Expanding the status bar fix it
- Portuguese translation erros remains from the first rom 1.34!!!!!:
Call volume is "Volume de ligação recebida" - shuold be "Volume da ligação"
The tips widget is "Dicar", should be "Dicas"
And a few others, that I don't remember now.

I've only seen some minor UI bugs and most recently, the capital letters typing a text message. That only happens when I try to type too quickly after opening the thread.
I must admit that I havent seen the gallery bug yet but then I don't really use the camera.
Might be worth posting your version number to track regional bugs.
Mine is 2.42.405.2

Brightness will be stuck at max waking from sleep sometimes. Brightness slider has no effect. Fixes itself if you sleep then wake again.

Playback of videos not taken with the camera is very stuttery. THis wasn't the case in 2.2.

I had the missing gallery pictures problem and the brightness problem as well-I have it normally on auto-bright, but sometimes when I wake it or reboot it, it automatically changes to full brightness and I have to select auto-bright again.
Also, Sense restarts after almost anything.

After installing, deleting or moving an app, returning to the home makes sense crash and restart.
I have a gallery bug aswell, can click on some line with pic and wording not shown.
I had once a bug in the unlock pin screen, tapping 7 was actually hitting 4, same if I hold on 7, i see the pressed status of the 4 button onscreen. It happened when i had no charge at all and plugged the phone to the usb port of my running pc. It was also impossible to switch on the phone, i had to plug it out.
Can't remember more right now.

I was wondering if anyone had noticed if there is still this bug or if you could test to check for me:
Start an app in portrait mode, slide out the keyboard for landscape mode, hit the home key. Do your apps/widgets load right away or within a couple seconds? For me it has always been that it will take 15-20 seconds for the screen to load, all I will see is the status bar and my background, no loading screen, no errors, nothing but that. Let me know if you had this prior to updating and also if you have it after, thanks!

ME TOO!

I've experienced these as well. Funny thing is, I only experience the 10% bug in Facebook app.

Besides that "desktop loader" and sense-crash problem I got some strange issue with my mobile data connection - searched the forum for a while, haven't found anything, so I'll report it as a gingerbread bug.
Sense displays an activated connection all the time (3g/H - with those two little arrows flashing, thus indicating some traffic) but, unfortunately totally random, it decides to stop working.
Only way to check the data connection is browsing google. Turning off/on fixes the problem temporarily.
In addition, the speed of my mobile connection seem to be capped at some point - typically, depending on my location, it'll stick with 3G instead of H until I reboot. (noticed a remarkable speed difference by browsing the web before and after reboot)
Anyone similar problems?
Desire Z - 2.3.3 Stock

@Kueber;
While i've only seen the sense reload when my phone is uunder a lot of CPU load, I have seen it.
Regarding the data issue, i've only seen it with a certain app, "London Journey" This would retrieve some downloads, but not others. Maybe its a change in the data API relating to the new Download API. Using any other app was fine.
In maybe a slightly related issue, I've noticed that when in GPRS or EDGE, its much more reluctant to go to HSPA, especially when the H signal is low. However, this would normally just drop straight back to G / E anyway so is an improvement in my mind. It also seems quicker to see the HSPA connection has been lost and goes to G / E.
In your case, if location determins 3G rather than H, it could indicate you mobile provider may not have upgraded all their sites yet. If it passes data, then its stuck at 3G.

Hey there, thanks for your answer.
The strange thing is that my previous phone (HTC Legend) always displays a HSDPA connection (speaking of my hometown as testing area). My Desire Z also states a H connection until it get capped somehow. Then I reboot and the little H is back. It is definitely not a display bug, since the speed difference, as already mentioned earlier, is noticeable after rebooting.
Is there some kind of a "user control" in areas that aren't fully covered by a mobile provider, so that my connection may drop due to non using the phone? (It happens normally while phone is sleeping) And is it possible that my Legend, 2.2 stock btw, just isn't very accurate when it comes down to displaying the current connection speed? - to mention your point of a quicker HSDPA loss on gingerbread.
greetings

I also have the Sense constantly restarting. It is really, really, REALLY annoying!
It happens about 50% of the times when I return to the home screen from any app, even the browser.
Has any of you tried uninstalling the Gingerbread update? Don't even know if it is possible, though.

beside the above bugs. the missing pictures bugs also affects my sound files. i can't change my ringtone or alarm tone. it will change back to the default ringtone every few hrs as the sound files went missing on my sd card. has to do a sdrescan to get it back. but few hrs later it will go missing again & ringtone either be empty or back to default.

yeah it drives me crazy too. Any chance to downgrade easily before update?

I've had the exact same bugs as described above, it drove me insane.
after 3 days or so i was fed up with it and downgraded and installed Virtuous 2.0. the bugs are gone and i've got a stable, rooted phone.
has anyone tried to contact HTC about these bugs? I myself was too lazy to write an email..

so nobody know what is the problem? maybe phone soft is not good or is just facebook app?!

I have the exact same problem. When using back button to exit facebook, wallpaper bounces for a sec, but when using home button that doesn't happen. I tried reinstalling facebook, but id didn't help. I had 2 S8+ software updates, and facebook app updates but problem persists.
If anyone knows how to fix this small annoying issue, you're welcome to help.
Best regards

ERMGH...is called live Wallpaper???

Same problem here. It's bad enough that when pressing back, you have to wait for the timeline to scroll all the way back to the top, before you can press back again to exit, then you have to watch the wallpaper quickly zoom in and out.
Funnily enough, my Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 rotates the screen after using Facebook in landscape mode, so it's definitely Facebook having some form of issue with Samsung phones.

Same problem
Must be a laggy animation

no is not live wallpaper is just when pressing back arrow to exit facebook, the background is like moving in and out really fast looks like half second lag something like that.
I had many facebook updates but still not fixed..hopefuly somebody can sort it out for us..i just pray to don`t be a bug in the phone or problem with the soft...

i see
did anyone else noticed that Facebook trends are now showing up in Bixby feed?

Happens to me as well, and I'm using Nova Launcher

same here on Nova launcher with Starfield live wallpaper. looks like the app is running in a different resolution and the wallpaper has to resize... maybe it's something to do with the way the app expands to the weird aspect ratio of the s8...

Any update regarding this problem? Here are the things I've tried - Cache Partition Wiped, Full Factory Reset, Tried All screen resolutions, Increased speed of exit animations. thru the developers menu. But the problem still remains. The screen bounces when you exit the facebook app by pressing the back button. It exits normally if you press the home button.
Another weird thing, if you clear the cache/data from app settings, the facebook app exits normally if you press the back button (when you're not logged on to fb). But, as soon as you login to facebook the problem reappears.
Samsung service centre reflashed the firmware of the phone but the problem is still there. They wont replace the device because the app is third party (albeit comes preinstalled).
Any help would be highly appreciated. It's starting to annoy me.

maybe somebody can report this straight to Samsung...I`ve done it but they say is about facebook to fix it.I report to facebook and they say can`t fix everybody`s problem but only major bugs.
so please everybody report the problem to facebook and to samsung and maybe they release an update

I have the same problem ..hope they will fix it
PS. To rezolve the problem go and set the animation to 0 in developer setings..this work for me..

this is called motion effect for wallpaper!

Never noticed this "problem" before. But I tested this out just now and it didn't happen. Then I thought maybe it's because my Facebook app icon is in a folder and not on the homescreen. So I tried moving it to the homescreen and it started happening to me too. Moved it back to the folder and nothing.
So... I guess this is a workaround for the people that are experiencing this issue.

So I am experiencing the same bugs. I have recorded the glitch on my S8+ and sent Samsung the YouTube link:
The told me to contact Facebook instead.
However, you can see what's actually happening with the video. When closing any app there is a zoom-out effect. Facebook however appears to be using a slide effect instead. When this is done the phone does the zoom-out anyway -- and that's the glitch.

There is still no solution for the annoying glitch. Does anyone else experience this issue?

My GS8+ received update AQG5 today, this appears to resolve the glitch :fingers-crossed:
