List your EC05 Problems/Praise

[Skunkape60]

That improves it greatly if I can learn to read without readers when in my truck or just memorize what letters are with which numbers. So I shouldn't have been doing this all along anyway Mr. Expert. Your eyes will get like mine sooner or later. Look for lights in basements to start to look dim in your early 40's. First sign of impending problems reading extra tiny print on your phone.

I'm not sure if this is a sacred cow or something as no one seems to see anything wrong with screwing up the operator interface. I do appreciate the input but at 57 years of age I hate having to get readers for everything including what name just popped up in the tiny dialog box. It was better before and I'll move on once someone gets it right again.

Thanks... G..

I am not trying to gloss over your issue and everyone that had replied has tried to be helpful. Everyone uses their phones differently. It seems you like a function most us never noticed or needed.

The good thing about these phones are you can choose what apps you want to use based on you preferences or needs. Have you tried any of the other phone dialer apps out there. You may find one you like even better than your old one.

I hate the new messenger app and think it's cartoonish interface looks childish and juvenile. Instead of using it, I have chosen to use another app that works for me. Is it exactly the same? No but it can be setup in a way that is an acceptable replacement.

Holy crap I never new we had panoramic mode in camera

Volume switch

Can't use side volume switch to go from vibrate to silent mode.

Time to switch to horizental mode (and back) slower.

Don't really care for the SMS style, but I'll get use to that.

You know I never really checked with another dialer. I was just blown away with a "my phone worked yesterday and today it didn't" kind of attitude... I probably need to relax and check it out. I rooted my Pre so I probably need to get a little more serious with this one. I did notice some stupid music coming out of it early this morning and at first figured it was a new alarm. I never used the new clock and there was no alarm listed. I pulled the top down to see what might have been running with the downward swipe but never saw anything. I looked at it and went back to sleep since it was such a low sounding music. Was gone when I woke up again? Any ideas on that one?

My music playlists are messed up. I sync my music from itunes using "syncr," and I havent synced in a while because I have all my music already on my phone.

This morning, I opened up player pro and the wrong songs were in my playlists (like my across the universe soundtrack songs were in my avril lavigne playlist). Any one else have this problem?

Also, I flashed the update using the oden no wipe method mentioned on here, it wasnt OTA. Idk if that makes a difference.

Possibly a phone call? When I got my update, all of my sound settings changed (ringtones, volume settings, everything).

Keith - I agree wholeheartedly about the look and feel of the new messenging - and Scoob's answer... I installed handcent yesterday and, after some messing around, got something that I like much better. I don't want to go into here since I did post elsewhere describing it - check out the handcent thread up a level... and I'd just put the link here for ya, but my pc is having a "windows moment"...grrr.

Did you try the calibration screen side down or screen side up? It makes a differance. I did the calibration screen up and it didn't do anything. It made a big difference when I did it with the screen facing down. At least it did for my phone.

Concur 100% -- I calibrated the first time face up... was still having 3-4 second delays on roatation - Veeerrry irritating! Then I saw KV's post about doing it upside down - that absolutely fixed mine!

So NO ONE ELSE saw improvement here? My cell idle time annoyance seems to (I know - only 2nd day of Froyo...waiiiiit) have gone the way of the dodo bird and the selfless politician! I can't be the only one who saw this change! Hmmm....:-\

Phone turned on at 7:00 am @ 12:00 the phone was @ 54% without signal.

Please don't give me all the credit for this fix. It was posted in a thread several weeks ago when eb13 was launched. I just remember reading it.

I posted screen shots of handcent in in a thread

Let us know if they fixed the Sports mode for the camera from EB13.

Sports mode issue has been fixed.

How about the laggy low-light video recording problem. Was that fixed by EC05 too?

Battery life seems to be much better to me. Unlike others, at times my data speeds have been great, other times, just normal. I'm happy with the update. I almost did the ext4 upgrade, but was unsure of it. I wiped my phone and cache 3 times then odin the ec05 on and so far has been great. Used it normally today and I would guesstimate almost twice the battery.

Is is someone who knows from personal experience? This is the one sticking point for me and you are the first person to even answer the question. Thanks!

Before you do that, did you try a cold power cycle (all the way off then back on)?

That did the job, thanks rando991! I can't remember the last time I did a cold thera-boot....
