other issues i've noticed:

-new text message alert does not disappear when the text is viewed, only when text is entered as response.

-browser gradient at top (right below notification/status bar) disappears when scrolling and pops back on once done scrolling

-swype sucks after update

-browser does not auto hide keyboard once completed text imput and window refreshes

-as noted, the geotagging data on the pictures cannot be prevented even with gps off

all of these, on top of an ugly messaging app have caused me to do a complete factory reset just to get rid of the issues. i never had problems with 2.1 so i guess i'll stick with it until the final release.
[Epic 4G General] thetoady:
you're able to dial from the dialer with someone's last name?

i.e. You have a Friend Joe Smith, you press

7 (for s)

6 (for m)

4 (for i)

...

and you get your friend joe smith? I just have it matching first name.
[Epic 4G General] mxcoldhit:
Last name doesn't work. I have to do it by first as well. Very annoying if you have more than two friends with the same fist name. That's the only one I can replicate.
[Epic 4G General] curti.nogg:
Check your Swype Settings. [Speed vs. Accuracy] may be tuned for speed. Slide it over to the right and it should work better.
[Epic 4G General] styckx:
After using this for 8hrs now. I've come to the conclusion this release sucks a bag of .....

Crappy keyboard lag, last.fm skipping, the captivate buttons responsiveness has changed (for the worse), delayed screen rotation, camera writing exif gps data unless you disable gps and wireless location.

Overall this just runs and feels like pure junk. I was never one demanding and frothing for 2.2 and I'm glad I have backups of my 2.1 install and will be going back to it. I liked 2.2 at first until I really got to feeling it out.

Sure GPS is fixed but they screwed up 10 things in its place.
[Epic 4G General] Gersonian:
+1 on this sentiment. I am not having any issues like this. Now this is not a regression, but I noticed that there is still the cell standby issue that requires airplane mode toggle. I find that glitch to be really frustrating.
[Epic 4G General] thetoady:
the main that that froyo fixed for me was that calltrack now works right (get only one calendar entry, while before I would get random # of multiples, every day it became a ritual to clean out the calendar)
[Epic 4G General] supercat1:
that was not the issue. Swype was not registering touches at times and would stop mid-word consistently.

Another problem that I have with the phone in general is that the haptic feedback on the capacitive buttons is inconsistent. I had hoped that 2.2.1 would fix that but it didn't.
[Epic 4G General] styckx:
I'm really starting to suspect this isn't the last Froyo build we're going to see.

This has all the signs of a release candidate.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Hopefully RC1 by the number of bugs still present.
[Epic 4G General] crawrj:
I was thinking the EXACT same thing. I hope that we are right on this. I will not be upgrading if that is not the case. And if Samsung doesn't get this damn phone right it will be the last Samsung phone I ever purchase no matter how good the hardware is.
[Epic 4G General] styckx:
It's the only thing that makes sense. I mean, I know Samsung isn't exactly known for five star support of their products, but as it stands, the Samsung Moment is more stable with less bugs running default 2.1 then this running 2.2.

2.1 on the Epic was SOLID except for the GPS.. There is no way Samsung is giving us this as their gold 2.2 release.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
When I bought the phone, the stock OS was FLAWLESS. I mean it was amazing. I can't imagining them releasing an upgrade like THIS. If they do, I will probably end up just running DI18 Eclair.
[Epic 4G General] RoadZombie:
my mediahub is working, but I had updated from the market before I updated to froyo.
[Epic 4G General] herzzreh:
Media Hub doesn't work because Market thinks our phone is N1 and MH isn't available for N1.
[Epic 4G General] fczeuner:
Has anyone heard of a hardware level .5 phone getting an OTA upgrade yet? Until I do, its just another beta to me. I don't care whos calling it official.
[Epic 4G General] styckx:
I haven't..

BTW Hi Neighbor in Williamstown, I'm over yonder in Woodbury :)
[Epic 4G General] supercat1:
Also in my messaging app any conversation with someone that I have set a picture other than their google account photo as default does not display a photo. Like if their facebook account photo of set as default it will not display.
[Epic 4G General] maghig:
The option to lock screen while charging no longer saves.

No usb notification when its plugged into a computer.
[Epic 4G General] dannieboiz:
Have had it for 5 hours, with everything stock no major apps added. Screen froze up and unresponsive. Slow to wake up from standby (pressing power button had a 1 ish second delay for lights on), battery drained completely in 2.5 hours with 4g on

This release is officially crap.
[Epic 4G General] Top Nurse:
I dl the first tar file on Friday that was posted after jspringer got it to the devs. That file caused me major grief with all kinds of problems. So I decided to go back to DI18 and flash the DK28 modem. Then I rooted and added in CWM. Next I used CWM to burn Quantum 2.0 and ended up getting rid of all my problems except the FC on hangup. :D

From my perspective it seems that DK28 is probably the last beta or the first RC. In either case I was quite surprised to see that Sprint had gone to the trouble of issuing a denial about it being in any way "official." I was in the Sprint store Saturday showing off DK28 to the sales and tech staff and I can guarantee you that they had heard nothing about it before I got there. Their "rumors" were that T-Mobile might be buying out Sprint. :D
[Epic 4G General] thetoady:
I have usb notification when plugged in.
[Epic 4G General] thetoady:
I have no FC's on hangup. Though as I note, the dialer seems a bit buggy in other ways.
[Epic 4G General] beejmeister:
I use bluetooth all the time and it use to be that when turning bluetooth on it ask which bluetooth headset or car I wanted to connect to.

But now when you turn on bluetooth you have to go to settings and choose whether you wanna connect your headset or your car. quite the hassle if you are trying to save battery and keep bluetooth off most of the time
[Epic 4G General] Infinite_1:
Deptford over here!
[Epic 4G General] pilby:
Widgets disappear after battery discharge

I've done some quick browsing around and haven't noticed anyone else posting about this behavior.

I got DK28 going on Saturday installed from the update.zip over stock Sprint software. Since then I've had quite a few issues, but one that has been particularly perplexing is that if I let my battery run down to the point where the phone turns itself off, once I've recharged and turned the phone back on, *every single* widget on each of my homescreens is just gone. All my app shortcuts are still there, and I can re-add the widgets no problem. But it's still a pain.

I've not messed with the apps-to-SD at all yet, so I don't think that's part of the problem.
[Epic 4G General] insanity213:
Samsung Moment has less bugs? Where do you buy your crack? I'd run a hacked up pre-release Epic any day before the Moment.

Forgive my bluntness, but I dealt with the Moment for months before getting the Epic and am still pretty bitter about that steaming pile of phone. I do agree that DK28 is in no way ready for prime time, but it's a pretty polished beta. The GPS/Camera lack of functionality is pretty aggravating, but otherwise I'm liking the DK28 ROMs.
[Epic 4G General] dannieboiz:
actually this is another annoyance. When I get the first prompt, if I select mass storage, I have to confirm a second time. :mad:
[Epic 4G General] styckx:
Bad analogy. :) That is all.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elmi:
I've had the phone for about a month now and I didn't have the problem until recently. The Swype word choice box comes up even when I'm single tapping the letters. I tried turning off the word choice menu settings but it still pops up. Did I press something? Cuz I like it when I swype but if I want to speak in my native language I don't want it poping up and switching my words. Thank you.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibemad1:
Sounds like you've got "word prediction" turned on in swype settings.

Currently running Eco blue/black but cannot sign into gmail stating no connection detected.even though WiFi is good. I only use.WiFi, have no data plan.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] huggs:
When you say that wifi is good, do you mean that you know that your wifi source (your router/your neighbor's router) is known to be working, or do you mean that you've gone into your phone's settings ->wireless ->wifi settings and confirmed that you are connected to the wifi source?

I would try a different build with a different kernel, I think I recall one of the recent Hastarin's kernels having broken wifi, but can't remember which one.

Are you able to access the internet aside from not being able to sign into gmail?

Maybe you could try another entry point (different login page) to sign into gmail.

I don't know that it's the case, but maybe signing into the mobile version of gmail requires a data connection?

These are all I can think of, gives you maybe a few more options to try out. Hope it helps :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] telegraph0000:
Yep, WiFi is working perfectly. Currently using the connection on the phone right now...no other builds have this issue......
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] huggs:
I would try updating the kernel on that build then if it is important to you that you keep that build

I've just installed this one. Pretty basic, but the look and feel of the good 'ol Google Maps is there. It is a very nice start.

[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
Thank you. Great news.

So bad it can only be sideloaded onto jailbroken devices.

But a good way to wait until Google releases the official Google Maps for WP7.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but I use Twonky server (can be found in the market). It works as long as your XBOX is hooked up to your network (wired or wireless). You then connect to your wifi in your home with your phone. The XBOX should then see your phone as a media server.

Rumor is that the developers holding the Samsung developer devices are seeing a new update in zune with 7.0.338.0 - obviously cut & paste included.

330+ jump in build is rather huge just for one feature. Hope others confirm:

News:

http://pocketnow.com/windows-phone/wp7-copy-paste-update-allegedly-hits-developer-device

sort of surprised though an actual rom update would be seen in the wild vs a developer/emulator build being leaked but maybe its more secure for MS to do it this way
[Windows Phone 7 General] ceesheim:
its not a big jump , conflipper has a rom with build 7.0 75** ( leaked and not public )
[Windows Phone 7 General] TehPenguin:
You'll probably find that there are a quite a number of bug-fixes, although (if Paul Thurott is to be believed), there won't be any other large features in this update.

Also, with regards to the build number, it wouldn't surprise me if the WP7 team has a rolling build that increments the build number every time - Microsoft build number increments rarely indicate the number of things that have changed since the last build.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbbb:
So I just flashed the FroyoCollab ROM with ULF installed, and I've been reading up that it slowly? causes corruption over time? How? And how do I know if my phone is slowly being eaten up from the inside? Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z General] lazyluis32:
So out of nowhere my g2 doesnt read any sd cards i put in the slot. I have tried reformattin them n even factory reset my device and nothing. So heres the problem, im on virtous rom, n i have to send the phone back to get a new one, n i cant revert back to stock since my sd slot doesnt work. So the question is this, should i brick the phone so they cant see the hardware, or just leave it?
[G2 and Desire Z General] shortlived:
I have seen many posts like this and still have yet to see a good answer. I will tell you I have not heard of one single person ever getting in trouble for rooting they're phone. Its my opinion that they dont care or take the time to test it beyond powering up and checking for water damage. While more and more people root these days its still such a small overall percentage....
[G2 and Desire Z General] G1_enthusiast:
try another sd card??
[G2 and Desire Z General] renn9420:
You can try to revert to stock thru adb and fastboot. Takes alittle longer and just a few more steps but it is possible.

Phone: T-Mobile G2/Vision Rooted

Rom: Latest Cyanogen

Recovery: CWM waiting for Amon_RA
[G2 and Desire Z General] waffleman911:
My phone had a similar problem. It would read the sd card then randomly it would unmount/remount on its own. This may sound silly but what I did was take some paper and put between the battery and the sd card slot to make sure it doesn't lose connection. Lol, Works now though.
[G2 and Desire Z General] lazyluis32:
How can i revert using adb? Is there steps?

I got the Froyo update yesterday OTA and I cant figure out how to get voice over bluetooth working. Am I doing something wrong or is this a fact.. No voice over bluetooth again?

Anyone know what the deal is here?

Thought i did... sry.
[Epic 4G General] APOLAUF:
Can you clarify "voice over bluetooth"?
[Epic 4G General] mbkowns:
The froyo OTA is released!?

So far im calling BS where you located?
[Epic 4G General] xeonbuilder:
You cant use your earpiece to initiate a phone call. You know you press the button on your head set and it asks you who u want to call. That doesnt work with this update as far as I can tell.

I got it yesterday here in Manhattan on this new epic i received. I assumes it was OTA but it might just be installed on the phones now.

Either way..... NO VOICE OVER BLUETOOTH!!!! lol. I need it to work and it doesnt. Has anyone with the froyo update tried to get that to work.....????
[Epic 4G General] mbkowns:
Well thats good news.

Anyone on the west coast get the OTA yet?

[Windows Phone 7 General] saldawop:
Just checked Flixster, and Enable Live Tile is ticked.I presume I did that when I first got it a week or so ago.Only after reading this thread did I think about it.It has never been a live tile since I pinned it to the homescreen on day of download.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jeffgeno:
All of mine stopped working recently, too. My Weather Channel and Stock tile are stuck at the same spot they were several days ago. My Focus also forgot all my passwords and I had to reenter them. I think I have to hard reset, but since there's no way to back up text messages now I'd really rather not do that.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
no problems on my end. No connection problems for any of the apps?
[Windows Phone 7 General] jeffgeno:
I sucked it up and did a hard reset. Everything's updating normally now. MS really needs to come up with a solution for backing up text messages.

One nice feature I discovered in the process is that the Zune software keeps a cache of the transcoded files, so syncing 10GB of stuff was super quick. I go with 320kbps MP3 on the HTPC and bump that down to 192 on the phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] schmak01:
I have had this issue before, when turning off WiFi at the office to reduce battery drain (since we have a hidden WiFi) and when enabling it back it just won't update, most of the time the internet connection is poor to non-existent on 3G or on WiFi at home (HD7 here)

Just a soft reset did the trick
[Windows Phone 7 General] makoute:
I started having the same problem with the weather apps, before I returned the HD7 that I had.
[Windows Phone 7 General] raman_mogal:
Same issue

I am also facing the same issue with weather apps. First i thought weather bug was not working and reinstalled it couple of times. Also tried weather channel and no use.

email push works fine.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jeffgeno:
You can tell if it's a push problem or not by testing out the Find My Phone option from your Live account online. If it says it can't use push notifications, you might have to hard reset.
[Windows Phone 7 General] raman_mogal:
i went to live account and clicked ring the phone and it didn't work for first time, tried again and worked.
[Windows Phone 7 General] d.cortez:
i'm seeing the same "no update" behavior with Weather Bug, but Weather Channel is working fine. glad to know it's not only me with this issue. also, i'm able to ring my phone, so i don't know that my issue is "push" related.
[Windows Phone 7 General] andrew-in-woking:
Live tile server

Hi all

A live tile needs a dedicated server. If there is a problem with that server then the live tile will stop working. That is nothing to do with the device.

The Weatherbug live tile server seemed to have an extended period of down time but has now come back online again.

Cheers

[Windows Phone 7 General] pillsburydoughman:
Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't live tiles only work if the application is tombstoned?
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
all 3rd party apps automatically get tombstoned/killed when they aren't visible. the live tile is a separate service and has nothing to do with the state of the application itself.
[Windows Phone 7 General] raman_mogal:
working again

weatherbug and weather channel both seem to start working again for me.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ManicDVLN:
Now all my third party live tiles aren't working! I think this is an OS bug.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sureloch:
Probably not an OS bug. A couple of things to consider is:

First, all Live Tile updating is pushed through microsoft's servers. So if something stops updating it could be an error at the 3rd party source or with microsoft's server, or with your carrier's connection with microsoft's server.

Second, currently with Phone 7 Only 15 applications can register for push notifications per device.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ManicDVLN:
I guess you are right, this morning all my live tiles are working again with the exception of Beezz, and I think it's a problem on the application server.
[Windows Phone 7 General] emkovicz:
Live Tiles in most applications work very strange. For example Wetaher Channel: When I wake up my phone from the ock screen after few hours, the tile is not updated, and usually it updates after next few seconds. Does it mean tiles can not be updated when the phone is sleeping?

I also have problems for live tiles updates, I understand it can be problem of third party servers but it happens very often. Many applications with live tile featue does not update at all very often or they do update but very rarely.

The only application I saw with live tiles working all the time was Beezz. But now it does not work for me too for two days.

I think that concept of Live Tiles should be improved as now it's disaster, it's not reliable service at all, there should be a possibility for applications to ask for updates itself.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Marvin_S:
i sended a bunch of notifications in a row with TextMe.

On the iphone they keep being received instantly and much quicker than wp7, which takes a second or 2 normally (which is absolutely fine for me though). However after a while, and certainly after dropping wifi signal or switching from wifi to 3g etc, itt seems like the os does not reconnect properly and the notifications get delayed for like 20 minutes. This happens consistently, and i just tested it again and received 4 messages all togeether 20 minutes later which were all send at the same time.

It's defenetly an OS problem I think, since restarting the phone fixes it for a while. And in the mean time I had a perfect internet connection, I could watch youtube and browse. But the messages did not get trough for 20 minutes. It's also not a problem of the app's server since the iphone messages just got trough all the time instantly (or is the iphone system of notifications diffrent?).

So maybe a bug in the OS, maybe how it picks the internet connections 3g and wifi. Or microsoft servers, which seems to me quite stupid but maybe they are over crowded sometimes.

EDIT: Now after some more testing it seems to work fine again without resetting. But the iphone is much more reliable also on the time interval between sending and receiving the message. Sometimes wp7 is very quick sometimes 2 seconds... sometimes it takes ages.
[Captivate General] xterminater07:
Hi all, I seem to encounter this strange problem after rooting my captivate using idroid explorer to install a apk file. Is this a problem with me rooting it incorrectly or what did I not do right? Whenever i use idroid explorer, putting my phone in usb debug mode, and installed a apk file, my wifi just won't work anymore. I tried disconnecting it from the network and reconnecting and that would not work!

Does anyone know what is the problem? In order to solve it I have to reboot the phone everytime :( Could someone please help me, I search all in this thread and google and I couldn't find any answer. Thank you so much, I am very new to this whole android scene.
