Hi Everyone -
I have used the HTC touch PRO for about 3 weeks now and I have to say it is FULL of bugs . Can you guys confirm or deny this:
1. If the phone is set to vibrate, it will go back to "RING" after a single call. Meaning if someone calls me once, it will go back to RING. This also happens if the ringer is set to Vibrate and Ring also.
2. When you make a call using the "dial pad", the "dial pad" disappears very quickly and goes to the main screen. Then you have to hit the DIAL button and then KEYPAD to get it back. It is very annoying when you call your bank or an airline where you have to go through a series of promts like entering your ID numbers, pins, etc.
3. The camera seems to come on sometimes by just touching the screen.
4. If you have multiple numbers associated with a contact (home, work, mobile etc), it shows one number when dialed. For example, when I dial my friends HOME number, it dials the home number correctly, but on the display it shows the MOBILE number being dialed.
5. Unable to send a CONTACT's info by SMS directly from the CONTACTS page. It will send a MMS but not a SMS. THis is when someone asks for a phone number of a person and you just want to send it automatically from your phone book.
I am sure there are other bugs also, but the above are the most annoying as hell.
I want to make sure this is with everyone or just my phone!
Thank you
hey,idk how helpful this willbe but it seems like these phones str8 out of the box are having problems...ive read that a hard reset will get rid of some of the unwanted bugs...you may try that
1. Just tested and after call vibrating stayed on.
2. The keypad goes away but not to the home screen. So all I have to do is hit on key, keypad to get back to it.
3. never had that happen.
4. Confirmed. Seems to default to the first number stored maybe??
5. Confirmed. Most likely because it is sending the vcard or something as an attachment???

My experience is the same with the Verizon branded TP2.
#5 It sends it as vCard attachement.
I Just open the contact info to edit then copy and past it into SMS.
Returning TP2 tomorrow
Used the TP2 for 3 weeks;
1. Screen clicks when touched, guess the slider hinge is loose;
2. Set vibrate then ring, keeps going back to ring only everytime the phone is powered off and back on, (standby on); this is the mode I use often, not to annoy people in meetings, and not to miss calls;
3. Cant set screen dim time to more than 10seconds, it dims after 10seconds no matter what the settting is;
4. Internet brower lunch from home gets stuck randomly, have to hit end go back to home, then internet again;
5. GPS performance with Sprint Navigation is much worse than Touch; It takes much longer to lock, and it lose GPS often; Maybe a software thing, Google map seems to work fine.
Non of the bugs are serious, but very annoying! The phone is too big, too heavy, too expensive ($349 from Sprint)! Miss the dial pad; The only good thing is the beautiful screen.
Hopefuly WM6.5 upgrade will fix these, but dont want to get stuck with waiting for the upgrade, I've just re-activated my old touch, and returning TP2 tomorrow.
You can add the issue of not being able to keep static IP's assigned to the network adapter for use while in your workplace or business, and then when not in the workplace haveing the ability to use sprints data services. In otherwords everything has to be dynamic. If you want to use static ip's while in range of wifi, you have to clear it out when you leave the wifi spot in order to use regular evdo.
gps is fast and accurate
fast if you disable touch flo and use mobile shell
Another bug
When viewing NFL mobile, after about two minutes into showing something, the phone reboots itself. Quite annoyin'!

1. I've heard of this happening after soft reset but it doesn't happen on my phone
2.Works perfectly fine on mine, all you do is hit the 'Keypad' button and it should stay up. if you end up at the home screen hit 'phone' and then keypad and you should be good....do you have a dialer skin on it?
3.Never happens for me
4. haven't tried, i don't have any contacts with multiple numbers
5. haven't tried but i usually just copy/paste phone numbers for sms
definitely try hard reset. and if it's got a warranty or anything like that you still have the option to return/exchange it
well speak of the devil my phone started showing some of these symptoms later in the evening and now even worse when i make calls i can hear people talking but they can hear me
a hard reset fixed it but when i restore my backup files it goes back to messing up so maybe it's one of the tweaks i ran?
is there a way to use sprite mobile to only restore contacts/sms? that's all i really need i'll think i'll hold off on the tweaks and just wait for the HSPL unlocker
Hope these problems are all fixed when the HardSPL is released.
As for now, I am holding my breath waiting to see if the gps problem is fixed on a new rom, waiting to buy this phone.

yeah, the real messed up part is verizon is out of stock with the phone. i went to a verizon store but they couldn't even replace it for me. i think the people over there are retarted cuz i've known it was out of stock but the dudes at the store didnt know and the guy they had me talking to on the phone didn't even know they didn't sell them in stores!
'you'll probably get the imaggio isntead it's the upgrade of your phone'...no stupid i need a keyboard
mine keeps switching from Ring and Vibrate to Ring as well
I'm noticing that during many of my calls, I apparently hit the HOLD button accidentally with my cheek. My proximity sensor seems to be working fine, and the screen does turn off appropriately when I hold the phone against my face. I'm assuming that at certain angles enough light gets through to the sensor to turn the screen on, and I accidentally hit the button in the corner. Anyone else have this issue? Is there any way to circumvent this? Thanks
Unfortunately i can't help but i am getting the same issue

I tried applying different dialer apps and they only serve to change the dialer/contact screens, but the default calling screen containing the HOLD button remains unchanged. I found that using Skype as the default dialer fixes this issue since it uses its own dialing/calling screens, but obviously it's not practical to just rely on Skype. So the problem still remains unresolved.
As an update, someone on Reddit posted a download link to the Google dialer app here at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/themes-apps/app-google-dialer-t3323432
This installs a new dialer, which actually provides a new calling screen as well, fixing the main issue. The default dialer is better in my opinion since it opens up the dial pad immediately while this one doesn't, but this is a good option at this point

even worst than calls is when you press it while watching youtube vids, i wish there was a lock of some sort cuz the music stops paying all the sudden
It's embarrassing when I put my clients on hold and don't realise until they don't respond to me. The cheek hold doesn't result in any audible sound so you can be talking for 20 seconds with the other end on hold. I love the S7 edge but I'm contemplating sending it back. I'll try the Google dialer mentioned above first though
Same issue here. I talk on the phone almost 2 hours a day and this is happening at least 1-2 times in every call! Checked my proximity sensor and it's working as it should.
Any workarounds? Maybe someone can edit the phone.apk and remove this stupid button or disable it? I am against rooting but I will definitely root my phone if there's a fix for this.
Damn, I suffer exactly the same issue! Found this googling for ideas...
Very old thread, but I just wanted to give a suggestion to others with the same issue. I really love the Google Phone dialer app, which actually replaces the calling screen during calls with this app's own screen, so you no longer have the Hold button at such an unfortunate location. If you do choose Google's app, I recommend this specific version: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-phone/google-phone-2-05-07_rc4-release/google-phone-2-05-07_rc4-android-apk-download/
The caller-ID function by Google actually works with this version, whereas the other .apk files floating around do not have this function working properly.
I'm having the same issue and I've installed the Google phone, however as soon as I place the call, the existing on-screen options pop up.
The option to disable the default phone app is greyed out in settings, so unsure on how to resolve.

Finally searched for the answer to this today, after several accidental holds on work calls.
The solution above with Google Phone APK worked for me. I just went to SETTINGS - APPLICATIONS - DEFAULT APPLICATIONS and then under Calling App near the top, changed it from Contacts to Phone. . For some reason, I cannot open the phone app itself (gives an error message) but calls do use the phone app rather than Samsung stock dialer.
Turn off screen!! Most phones allow you to turn screen off without interrupting the call.
Same issue with a galaxy A5 2016
Can't understand why samsung doesn't fix it
I moved to the Galaxy S8+ from a Droid Turbo and on the S8+ the Answer and Decline swiping areas are opposite to the ones on the Turbo. I've dug through Settings haven't found anything related to actually changing the position of those buttons. I also don't want to install any themes or icon packs to change it as I like the stock look, so if that's the only option to get it changed I'll just live with it and get used to the different placement! I almost decline every call I want to take and almost answer every call I want to decline, so hopefully my fingers will figure it out soon enough.
Thank you for any input on this in advance!
Hi, you can use physical buttons to end a call
This is in settings / accessibility / answering and ending calls/...
It's better than nothing.

I have thought about that as well, but more than half the time I'm on the phone I use it in speakerphone mode and I hit the power button to turn the screen off. But maybe I'll enable the volume up key to do the job of answering at least.
Ok, otherwise you'll end up getting used to it as you say.
Good luck.
Sorry for the weird title, I didn't really know how to concisely describe this issue. I still don't fully understand what triggers it but basically I've noticed that if I lock my phone while on a text chat (in either Textra or Facebook Messenger but probably includes all text chats), then unlock it to reply, I can't click on the text input box or hit the navbar back button for 3-5 seconds. This can also happen while my phone is unlocked when I'm switching through apps so I wouldn't directly blame the action of being locked. I know the phone isn't frozen because I can still hit the back button at the top left corner of the screen fine.
It almost looks as if though it's navbar-related because the pill is white when I unlock the phone, then after a few seconds when it's responsive again the pill is grey. My previous phone was a Oneplus 3 and it never had any issues like this (although it had physical buttons for navigation, not a navbar) so I'm wondering if this is an issue or if this is by design for some reason. I've tested each of the navbar options (traditional navbar, pill, and gesture) and none of them resolve the issue so maybe it really isn't.
One other detail I noticed is that the cursor also doesn't blink for those 3-5 seconds, and then when it starts blinking again I can start typing so it could be something else.
I just find it annoying to have to wait a few seconds whenever I want to unlock my phone and reply to a text and this doesn't seem like regular behaviour, has anyone else heard of or experienced this and know of a fix?

It could be part of the same ghost touch bug. Did you tried to disable NFC and see if those input lags reduce?

I've had NFC disabled since I got the phone so that isn't it.
I don't think it's ghost touch-related since it doesn't happen sporadically, it just seems to be when I open a text chat app or something too quick which doesn't make sense. Perhaps I can record the issue and upload a video to more clearly show what happens.
I just added videos of the issue to the OP.
That looks weird, did you tried to use the gesture navbar only or the one with all the buttons? I would try also another keyboard just to discard any GBoard related issue.
I've tried every other navbar type (including the one with just gestures and no bar) and the results are the same. I have also tried a different keyboard (Fleksy) and again, same issue. I had essentially the exact same setup as far as apps go on my Oneplus 3 and its fine, so I'm thinking it has to do with either a new version of android or the new OxygenOS but I have no idea.
Starting a thread to track Android 12 Bugs and issues similar to https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/android-11-bug-problems-original-firmware-xperia-5-ii.4225029/
In first few hours of use I found out that sometimes status bar vanishes and you need to scroll down settings panel to get the status bar again.
Observed this couple of times but not able to repro it consistently.
Anyone facing this? Any other issues to report?
Couple of another issues:
1) Dynamic vibration seems to be kicking off on first level and phone vibrates vigorously.
2) Multi window is having few issue like sometime one of the window is blank and when you try to see recently used apps the screenshot of the app shows zoomed in content.
IV updated not long ago I'm using nova launcher not noticed any bugs as yet just a boat load of blue everywhere lol
Dynamic vibration is working Continuously when I play YouTube video or something. That's the only bug I found. Even I tried to low ,mid or high it's not controlling properly. They need to fix this.
Small update. Dynamic vibration continuously work if I use my xm4 ear buds.
Connecting to headphones via tapping on the NFC doesn't work (wh-1000xm3)
I get a vibration, headphones turn on but I have to manually go to bluetooth tab and connect from there
disconnecting works fine

i think they have not included the new theme-color-walls-feature like on Pixels for example, or other Brand. It's a very specific choice, i think, after all Xperia use Android Stock if i'm correct.
I'm no Android expert so my Xperia 5 II is stock. I do use the Nova Launcher. I'm in Mexico and got the update two days ago. I'm mostly deaf and don't use the phone and didn't notice until 3:30 this morning that I had no internet connection and when I checked in "Settings" I saw my provider, Telcel, and a not "Temporarily Inavailable". Since it was Sunday morning I thought maybe they took service down doing some sort of maintenance. At eight I took another look. I tried *133# to see my account status and got a message, "Temporarily Unavailable." Then I tried sending a text message to a friend and it went through.
I went to "Settings", deleted Telcel as my service provider, cancelled the instruction to automatically connect and shut down. Then I started the phone, reconnected to Telcel, reinitiated the order to connect automatically and all went well and it worked fine.
Other than that, I have had no glitches. I don't use vibrations or split screens. I did give the cameras a pretty good run and they worked fine.
Screenshot is no longer accessed from long press power button, but is now accessed through the square navigation button. Meaning i can no longer screenshot my apps list.
Ambient display, when phone is locked and idle, is dimmer than when in Andriod 11. Brightness cant be adjusted.
Turning wifi on/off requires more touches. You now have to press 'Internet' from the top pull-down menu and toggle the wifi on/off from a popup menu at the bottom of screen. I hope your fingers can reach if using one-handed.
Switching phone calls and notifications to Normal/Silent/Vibrate from pressing the Volume buttons on the side opens up a list of switches, rather than pressing same icon and cycling through modes.
The shortcuts in the top pull-down menu are larger. In Android 11 i had setup 6 most used shortcuts across the top, now in 12, 6 shortcuts take up half the screen.
Tapping the square navigation button twice to switch between open apps must be done slower. No more fast switching.
Swiping the top pull-down menu once covers the whole screen, whatever you were looking at is covered by the drop down.
You can probably tell i dont like A12, but i know, im probably whinging over nothing.

I found that screenshot is done by holding the power button and volume down at the same time, which is the most clumsy and unnecessary thing to add. If there's a way to get this back by only long pressing the power button, I'd love to know.
I'm not a fan of this as well, mainly because they managed to break things that didn't need fixing, like turning on and off wifi. It is however better in that when I turn off wifi, it is automatically on my mobile network. Before this update, it would not automatically connect to the mobile network and I would have to toggle plane mode on and off several times or restart to get the mobile network connected. So that's working better at least.
Another issue I'm having is that when I delete an email from Gmail, it will sit in the notification bar showing deleted until I clear it, when before it would clear on its own after a few seconds. Also, the huge buttons look awful.
I don't want to go back to Android 11, but I would like the long press screenshot back, the buttons in the pulldown to look like they did before and accessing wifi simplified....I'm sure I'll find more things I hate with each passing day.
I don't know. I've never done a screenshot and my notifications for email go away when I delete the email whether I delete it on my phone or on my Chromebook. My old arthritic hands are cursed with stubby fingers and I rather like the large buttons.
Why do people turn WiFi off and on. My is just on. As I visit coffee shops, restaurants, and public places my phone automatically connects to other WiFi. I don't do anything requiring secuity while visiting other locations.
As usual, for me, Android 12 will be an irritating mess for a week or so and then it will miraculously improve.

I got in the habit of turning wifi on and off because on android 11, whenever I would get out of wifi range, it wouldn't automatically connect to mobile and so I would have no signal at all. I think it's a habit for me at this point, but it still shouldn't require 3-4 steps to turn on or off.
The longpress screenshot was really handy. Having to use a combination of buttons doesn't make much sense from a user standpoint...namely, mine
The big buttons, I've gotten used to and I do like that you can expand the size of the screenshot window to capture more of the image.
The biggest issue for me is the deleted messages not clearing. It will sit there all day showing deleted if I let it.

I never had that problem switching to my cell service when out of WiFi range. I think my 5II came with Android 11 and my Wifi and cell service are two different divisions of the same company. I don't know if that would matter.
I'll keep an eye on notifications but so far they're disappearing when the source is deleted..
Thanks for your responses.
The screenshot press vol down / power button doesn't work for me.
About the Gmail issue, i havent had that issue yet. I do use gmail, but its not my primary.
Im in the habit of turning wifi on/off when i use it. It defaults back to mobile network without issue, thats always on so I dont share that experience.
Ive just found another issue. Long press on the home screen and selecting 'Wallpaper'. When i select a wallpaper and set as home screen only, it applies to both home and lock screen.

Yeah! a lot of options are missing there like Service tests and other Network related configs.
I've no issues with the update besides Android 12 user experience being garbage in some areas where it was perfectly fine in Android 11. This is mostly with the quick settings where I now need one more tap for almost everything I'm using.
As72 HK version .. in the Philippines... Incoming and outgoing calls not working after the upgrade. Phone restarts didn't help
Worked for a few days after doing a factory reset... But stopped working again...
Sms and LTE+ is working, no issues..
I found a workaround for dynamic vibration issue in 5II after Android 12 update (issue being dynamic vibration accidentally kicks in while playing video on YouTube or Facebook)
Go to settings>Sound > Disable Dynamic vibration.
Play a video in YouTube or Facebook.
Get back to settings > Sound > Enable Dynamic vibration.
Now, dynamic vibration won't kick in accidentally.
