[Official] Gingerbread Update - Bugs, New Apps, etc.

Under People, Group Contacts are NOT alphabetized.
Anybody else have this problem?

I tried creating a new Group and adding Contacts (randomly) and the problem persists... :(
 
Group Contacts

My group contacts are not alphabetic either. But I honestly don't remember if they were before the update.

Pretty sure that's a new one. I have used the groups a bit and they were alphabetized before the first gb update. don't think I checked between the upgrade (downgrade?) & the update.
 
I don't know if somebody's posted this already, but my phone has been rebooting whenever memory (RAM) gets low. Additionally, I seem to have a lot less available memory. I used to be able to play podcasts in doggcatcher and play small flash type games (angry birds, bit bubbles, mahjong) at the same time but now if I'm listening to doggcatcher, I basically can't do anything else. Very frustrating. Does gingerbread just use more resources? And shouldn't the phone handle memory issues by killing apps rather than crashing completely?

I've had this happen too. I think it's a running out of memory error.

My phone has rebooted twice on its own since I installed this update last night... I swear this gingerbread update was put out to force people to upgrade their phone... :mad:
 
after i powered off and on i am noticing the clock widget "bug" (says ~1 hour before actual time and quickly flips to the current time). this just looks like a way to animate the flips every time you see the widget
It has always done that. You just didn't notice it. I thought the same thing...

When unlocking, it typically is 1 hr. 2 min. "behind," and immediately flips to the current time. I read an explanation that says it does this purposefully to ensure that no alarms are missed when waking.
 
Along with voice to text being inconsistent, my camera app will not share a picture via Handcent or Messages app. The message just goes to the Draft folder.

Yep, they were alphabetized before...

Speaking of Groups, I have duplicate ones: Phone and Google's (Family (30), Family (0), Friends (72), Friends (0)). I can't get rid of the ones with (0) because they're part of the Phone's.

I use gSyncIt for Outlook and Google (Gmail, Calendar, Contacts) (and from there to my phone) and the Groups, 30 & 72, don't include the (0)'s.

Any way to get rid of the (0)'s?
 
-:PLEASE READ:-

Before you go and post about an issue you are having check this list to see if it is documented already and if a fix has been found. There are too many "My Netflix isn't working!" and "I cannot get rid of Voicemail Notifications!" posts in this thread that could have been avoided if the user had just read this first post. Also, if your issue pertains to a third party app not working properly make sure the app is supported by Gingerbread. You should be able to find this out by looking at the description under the Market.

Although I am not at my computer 24/7 making sure this main post stays up to date with new issues people have found, I am making it a point to keep tabs on it and update it as often as I possibly can. With that being said, if any of the info found here has helped you, clicking the THANKS button would be greatly appreciated.



New Apps/Features

+Downloads App which looks to be a shortcut more or less to what you have downloaded recently.

+TeleNav GPS Navigation which replaces Sprint Navigation. It offers a standard free service and a paid for $4.99/month.

+When turning off the phone you get the option to Power Off, Airplane Mode and Restart now.

+Turning on the screen now fades in instead of just popping on.

+Pocket Mode under sound settings increases the ring volume when phone is in your pocket or a bag.

+Flip for Speaker sound settings allows you to activate the speaker phone during calls by turning your phone over.

+Group Message feature added under the stock SMS App.

+The ability to enable Animated GIFs within the stock Browser.

+Better Copy/Paste functionality.

+SIP Calling.

+Volume rocker sound for increases/decreases in volume has changed.

+When receiving a call, the answer slider is colored red across the top (swipe up to decline) and green across the bottom (swipe down to answer). Although this functionality has been there, the color indicators are new.


Reported Issues

+Profile Widget removed from screen and needs to be added again.

+Shoot Me no longer works after upgrade.

+Netflix has issues loading. Market says it is only compatible with 2.2 for EVO. Netflix is aware of this and working on a fix.

+Rogue Voicemail notifications being displayed. To fix this go to Settings > Call > Clear Voicemail Notification. They may come back after restarting the phone and may periodically pop up throughout the day. I myself was getting them a lot the day I upgraded and after a few days they seemed to have stopped.

+Battery Use shows Display using 70% or more of the battery. This is not a bug. It is basically saying that of the battery that is being used 70% of that is being used by the display, not that 70% of the total battery is being consumed by the display.

+When you turn off the phone with quick boot, the background zooms out and displays all home pages before shutting off.

+When you turn phone back on the screen comes back on and animation happens then goes to dull brightness instantly. You have to turn the screen off and on again to get it to go back to regular screen brightness. Happens with both Sense and Launcher Pro UI's.

+Pandora app will either play one song and then nothing or there will be a long pause (roughly 10 to 20 seconds) before another starts.

+AIM won't log in. Try reinstalling the app to resolve the issue.

+Any saved Alarms you had were deleted during the upgrade and will need to be reset.

+Compass functionality not working properly. This has been brought to the attention of Google Dev.

+Speech to Text not working properly.

+Wireless N no longer supported.

+Some have reported issues with 4G not connecting.

+Sense restarting after exiting some apps. I notice it every time I exit out of playing Plants vs. Zombies.
I'm having issues with contacts mostly.
For whatever reason, if im sending someone a text message, to the right of their name is the letter 'M' followed by there phone number. For example; CHRIS MCCOY (M 321-321-3213): sup
its extremely annoying because it looks very unorganized. On top of that, when texting, if my text message exceeds one page, the phone stops typing, and the page jumps to the very begining to the conversation, that also happens, if im texting someone,and I recieve another text message at the same time. This glitches are driving me up the wall! Anyone else experiencing this?
 
Contacts and messaging glitches

Im not sure why but the main glitches im experiencing are:

Linked contacts: For whatever reason, next to a linked contacts name now appears the letter 'M' an their phone number. So for instance, say I recieve a message,
instead of it looking like this:
CHRIS: Whats up?
Me: Not much, yourself?

it looks like

CHRIS (M +321-321-3211): Whats up?

its really annoying.

Also, another glitch im experiencing is when sending a text, if the text size exceeds one page, the screen jumps all the way back to the begining of the message, it also does it if i recieive another text while sending a text.

Any suggested fixes? that phone number is a total random number btw

Voice to text still not working while driving. This is a major safety issue still! Now, people will take their eyes off the road to text, more lives wasted. How shameful to take a safe phone and render that function useless, then not fix it in the upgrade to the last downgrade.
 
Since the maintenance update... So far so good. The annoying 'ghost voicemail' has gone. Anything else for me...wasn't such a big deal.

ive searched but havent found anything relating to it. ive dl the update and when i confirm to update my phone shuts down, reboots but then freezes on the boot logo. ive tried to fatory reset as well but same thing when its booting up its gets freezes on the htc logo. any ideas?? thanks
 
I have tried my voice to text on SMS and still a not working. Driving 40mph to answer a text from work via voice... not good.. Either case, the EVO 3D is a few days away... 8 am... I hope the voice to SMS works..
 
Everything is solid on my evo, I did wait for the maintenance release to upgrade. Everything is well accept it seems like battery life is not any better. I am at the ocean with low signal so that may be the issue.
