Button Lights - Multimedia Dock

Someone posted in another thread that after the update their Droid's buttons (home, back, etc) no longer stayed on in the multimedia dock. Anyone else experienced this? I wish mine would go off but after manually updating they are still on.

It was me who posted about it. What happened to me was that I moved my dock out of my dark room onto my desk right next to a lamp on my table. I didn't think about this last night, but what I found out today that what they did was change the LEDs to be tied to the light sensor so when it's dark they're always on and when they're not needed they're off. Moving the dock onto my desk made it so the light is shining on my droid which leaves the LEDs off, but if it's in a dark room they will be on all the time. Sorry for the confusion :/

Thanks... Couldnt find the thread. I wish they would give us an option. Would be nice if they werent on ever while its in the dock

Yeah, I agree. It would be nice to be able to choose, the lights are real bright in a dark room.

So after a FULL day with the update, I can confirm that battery life is DRASTICALLY better than before. I never had a huge issue with my battery life before, but now I am ending the day with about 70% battery life still remaining. Wow.

 

[droidweasel]

yes the phone responds much faster and the battery life increased dramatically. Few other minor changes, noticed you can no longer select the screen timeout to NEVER. all in all very happy

where is the screen timeout never button? i donthave that on mine,goes 30 min is longest.

 

[droidweasel]

ooops my bad. jus reread it. got rid of the never button.... sorry. lol

As I stated above:

You can still have it so the screen never shuts off when charging. Go to Settings > Applications > Development > Stay Awake

gmap problems after update

searching in maps does not work, and the app freezes, navigation still works though.

am i the only one?

::edit::

uninstalled update and reinstalling fixed problem

 

[yourbrokenoven]

I don't notice much if any change since the update. I didn't find switching between menus and home screens to be terribly jittery in the first place. Oh well.

 

[jc_casper]

Got the update. A little more responsive didnt have lights on the icons on the right of my screen but seems to be working fine now. Nothing else noticed yet.

 

[roguephoenix#AC]

hmmm just got mine. my batter indicates it charging but it doesn't seem like it is. it still keeps going down even though i'm not using it. >_<

 

[thebizz]

Nope no issue at all just searched on my map last night and this morning
