***UPDATE: A "hard reset" does NOT fix the calendar bug. Other users tested, and I have myself, multiple times. This is indeed a persistent bug existing in the Froyo build. I've reported it to Sprint and HTC. Sprint is ignorant of the issue and doesn't seem to care... they simply say to do a hard reset and give you a bunch of BS. They have refused to verify or acknowledge the bug. HTC, however, seems more receptive. They confirmed the bug exists. Still waiting to hear back from them on a possible fix.***
(Original Post: )
Can someone who has done a hard reset on Froyo please verify the calendar bug I described in the previous post? I would greatly appreciate it, as I want to make sure this is a bug in the system, not just my unit.
To verify the bug, create a new event in the calendar. Make sure to give the event data for the Where field and the Description field, then save it. For example, create a new event like this:
From: Aug 5, 2010 - 9:00 PM
To: Aug 5, 2010 - 10:00 PM
Where: "Somewhere"
Description: "Missing Data"
After saving the event, view it to make sure it appears correctly, especially the "Missing Data" description.
Then edit the event. (While viewing the day or agenda view, press and hold on the event for the option menu which will let you edit it.)
At this point, the description "Missing Data" should be gone, replaced instead by "Somewhere" (or whatever you typed in the Where field).
Is that what happened?
I REALLY appreciate you taking the moment to test this for me.
(UPDATE: Thanks everyone who helped confirm this bug.)
