Bugs in Jelly Bean

[rtfloneo1]

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but I consistently get "messages have stopped working" when receiving MMS. I'm using Chomp, but I get the message if I open with stock as well. I'm not rooted and I did a factory reset 3 days ago. Anyone else having this issue?
Edit: figured out it was because I didn't disable autoretreive MMS in stock.

I've gotten the same stopped working message about SwiftKey 3 and several other apps. Because Android is open source many third party apps don't get ported over in time to work with these new versions of the OS, and have problems. Same holds true with many carrier installed apps that aren't from Google. Even the Google apps aren't bug free even though it's their new OS! They sanitize the new OS to a point, and let the customer be the guinea pig "Beta Testers". We deserve better!

Are you on a nexus device? And the app maker is responsible for making it work properly

Twice my stock alarm has failed. This morning, I heard it play one note then shut off. Has this happened to anyone else?

I truly believe when an os gets a major update with different features and features removed from previous versions, just like when you uninstall an app there is code and "stuff" left behind..Ever uninstall an app and see a folder with name of the app left behind while looking through your sd card? I had some screen freeze issues about 5 days after this update, did a factory reset and sofar only installed apps I use (as I need them been installing them) and since I have have had zero issues, everything working as it should, battery life got even better (at end of day I have 10-15 percent more battery than before) this has been the fastest best phone I have owned to date....and my swiftkey 3 has been flawless also..I don't think we are "beta testers" but I'm betting when they are testing an update for bugs before release, they probably do a "clean install" and probably don't have a bunch of 3rd party apps on the phone...

Maybe I'm just lucky, but since factory reset I've not had any issues with either...

Found yet another bug I haven't seen mentioned. When using the HTC keyboard, it will "click" and vibrate with each key entered... EXCEPT the spacebar, which will not click but will vibrate. Stupid and confusing.

The only bug I have since update is the accelerometer issue. Does not bother me because I rarely use the phone function. I know, weird right? I hate talking on the phone and never answer my phone. People who know me know to text me. Alarms are working,, Swiftkey flow is working, no crashes. Just the one bug.

Hmm, it went back to normal after a reboot.

I think you mean the proximity sensor, not the accelerometer.

Page 22... Haven't read any of this but my 2 cents: My phone sucks sense the update!

Not sure if it's been mentioned but when you ask Google Now, "what song is this?" it shows "listening" then immediately crashes. Also HTC didn't enable the voice "turn on wifi/bluetooth" in Google Now.

Well, that depends.
Keep in mind that all releases, including whatever you are using now, have bugs or issues. That is the nature of all software. If you add up all those [valid] issues and look at them and compare them to all the [valid] issues on this release, is it any worse? Hard to say. Keep in mind my word "valid", there are lots of things in threads that are not confirmed, remain as problems from previous updates, are rare, or are not the fault of the update (for example- compatibility with apps, or a user's particular configuration or even misunderstanding of a change).

There are a LOT of very nice things about the JB update. It will be far better when some fixes come out. If you are comfortable and happy with what you have now, there is certainly nothing wrong with waiting. Nobody will chastise you (well, I certainly wouldn't).

But I think one thing we can all agree on is, finally the multitasking has hugely improved!! For instance I did some calculations on the calculator, and even restarted my phone. Then later in the day much later opened the calculator and the last result was still there! That made me so happy ok, carry on with the bugs lol

( not sure if anyone mentioned that, lol)

Android - Android 4.1, Jelly Bean

Had to reboot several times over the holiday weekend. Never rebooted under ICS. Phone seems to "hang-up" more now and it's getting very annoying (Starting to remind me of that crappy Palm Pre I had a few years back) Really don't want to do a factory reset, and waste all that time reinstalling all my accounts and apps, but I fear thats where I'm headed. If this keeps up I'll be going to the Dark Side like my wife did and get an iPhone 5. Honestly she uses that crap out of her phone and NEVER has a problem.......HUMMMM something to be said for that.
