*NEW* Pros and Cons Epic thread (issues and fixes after update?)

[mud76]

What issues are left

GPS?
WCDMA?

And do you think they'll be addressed?

 

[drewsg]

1) Battery Life
2) GPS
3) LED Notifications not working properly

I thought the battery life was good as long as you toggle the airplane mode

Yeah its easy enough to do but we really shouldn't have to toggle anything every time we turn the phone on

if you;'re referring to the non-sleep issue. that has been fixed with the recent update. It has to do with wifi sleep mode.

 

[mud76]

So is there a battery issue or does the toggle airplane mode fix it? which would be a issue that drains the battery, but not a battery issue.

read my post two posts up

Ya I know the wifi issue was fixed, but I thought the airplane mode fix was for the time without signal WCDMA thing which drains the battery constantly searching for a signal

I don't toggle and my battery life is incredible.

My battery life seems to haved tripled compared to what update DI07 broke. Hopefully a few more things can be done to make it better, I just hope they don't do something to FUBAR it up again.

Anybody missing some apps in the download section of the market since update?

 

[barakisbrown]

The new update plus FluffyKernel has greatly improved my battery life.

It looks like the front camera still has issues. Has anyone been able to get a proper looking image out of the front camera? For me the image is stretched and not of the correct orientation.

battery life is beast after the new update. the swype keyboard still doesnt have the clicking sound though

 

[popper668]

how about want Froyo? is that an issue?

That's an issue with the qik app. Open camera and choose self shot and it looks like it should. But you'll notice its oriented sideways so it doesn't fill the screen.
Qik tries to fill the screen by stretching it.

fix the hardware keyboard!
gps issue
airplane toggle
froyo
CAR DOCK!
dunno if the slow charge time can be fixed....

wouldn't mind seeing a real TW 3.0 with the missing apps. i do use launcher pro though so that's probably not a big deal

can't be fixed with an update but loose slider screen..

mounting problems as a usb drive

new issue that's cropped up today.. my SD card keeps unmounting itself

As far as I know, from my point of view:

• DRM service is still an issue and needs killing every reboot/power cycle - granted I haven't run any tests without doing that so it may not be as much of an issue

That's it as far as bugs are concern. Looking one post up:

• I don't have any problems with my hardware keyboard
• I don't use my GPS enough to really notice a problem
• I don't do the airplane toggle and was at +60% battery life after 12 hours (albeit including an overnight stint)
• Froyo will come soon enough - its missing is not a bug
• Don't know anything about the "car dock" issue
• If my battery lasts longer because it takes three hours to charge, I'm not going to complain

Now, one thing I'd like to see is the ability in the default mail app to sort my email into other folders (yes, I know, get another app, but I don't want to pay for simple functionality and prefer a client that does both EAS and IMAP). There's a bug/feature request complaint on the Google Code site and it's marked for "future release" but last I saw that did not include Froyo and other phone manufacturers (IE HTC) have added code to their default mail app to allow for it.

alot of people miss key presses with the hardware keyboard.. enough that i stopped using it and pretty much just use the on screen one. what annoys me about that is i'd have rather gotten a thinner phone that doesn't have a loose screen if i'm not going to use the keyboard

i use the GPS alot ... one of the reasons i got an android phone

the froyo i was joking about..

not a car dock issue.. i want them to come out with the actual car dock. the way they were advertising i thought it would be out when the phone was or at least soon after

the only time i'm really bothered by the battery charging is when i'm using the phone in the car.. my old charger can't keep up with the phone, and i'll actually start to lose charge if i have too much running. i'm hoping the car dock kit solves this
