List of bugs (until they're patched)

What's up guys, for those of us lucky enough to be using the G1 already, put of a list of what bugs that need to be fixed and improvements that need to be made. Since anyone can develop 'droid, the more nags are brought up, the more likely they'll be fixed.
I've noticed the following.

2) USB connection - not sure if this is a windows error or android error, but I get an "I/O device error" when connecting. Using an 8gb sd card.

>>> Since RC29: no more I/O error, but now getting "No Disk Found." Android does indicate it has a USB connection though.
3) No indication of sms received if screen off and phone on silent. The status light will blink green for a notification, but with charger connected there's no telling aside from vibrate
I edited this original post a bit since the RC29 update - if there's one thing I can thank that update most of all its the speedup on the camera time. I have kids and you can't get them to hold still for nothin! After the update I was able to snap pics with them swinging at the park even and they came out fine.

bt and wifi
Hey, im not positive but im pretty sure you can make a shortcut to things like settings on your home screen, so then it would only be maybe two taps away? idk, i gotta wait two more days to be sure =/

shortcut only available to settings not directly to comm manager AFAIK, which only takes it to 3 taps.

When you choose to reply to a message from a notification it does not go in the subject feild but instead to the sent feild. (I want to type right away its a habit and when I do its in the contacts...

Hey,
For accessing the SD Card make sure you go to settings - Storage and SD Storage Settings, and enable USB Mass Storage Mode. If you go to Android Market - there is a program called AnyCut 0.6, you can make a wifi toggle button and bt toggle button on the home screen.

Which Android Market is that? I looked through all the apps today and didn't see anything like that.

The marketplace should be back to normal tomorrow for the release. They've been updating all the apps and the marketplace itself for the release day.

good point, B. I hadn't thought of that.
The only other app I need is for Google Docs to have the ability to edit. I didn't realize until I started trying to input numbers into a spreadsheet (my workout stats, gym geek, I know) that I realized that's read-only.
By the way, what's the point of a read-only spreadsheet? That's like having a fridge that opens up and just has pictures of food in it.

for some reason the music app won't play my mp3s?! any ideas?

I've noticed twice now that my phone just stops recognizing my SD card. I have to take it out then put it back it for the phone to pick it up.

Happened to me as well.
2GB SanDisk microSD
Please add this bug to the list. microSD card is unmounted randomly and must be reinstalled to remount.

1. When the phone is off and connected to via USB cable it didn't seem to charge. At least the charging LED didn't come off if the phone was off. But then again it might be charging and just might be a bug in the led.
2. Cannot save images sent via MMS sent from other G1 users. This needs to be fixed.

Battery life is disappointing
I am sure it is because of the newness, had to charge the phone 3 times yesterday. This morning had it off the charger for less than and hour and phone was down to 70% charge. I just disabled autosync and gps, lowerred the brightness. Wil see how that affects things.

5) Not a bug; but another WinMo thing I am used to - Wifi and Bluetooth need to be more than 4 taps away. There might be an app to fix this but as for now - going to wifi/bt isnt simple.

There is an app call Any Cut that allows you to make all kinds of custom short cuts on your homes screen. I used it to get to wifi/bluetooth in one tap. Its an awesome app.

I can only get it to get me to the wireless settings.

Lost in call audio
For some reason lost all audio incoming and out going on a call, it showed i was in call but i could not hear anything and the caller could not hear me. I did not change any settings, was on a call like 10-15 minutes prior to this with no issue.
I was able to clear the issue when i soft reset the phone.

It's in the same category "Activity"
There should be a "Bluetooth Settings" to choose, I have both on my screen now. Maybe in an update we'll be able to edit the icon from Any Cut.

Is it an Android bug? or is it a bug with a select few handsets...this has never happened to me so far...or any/most of the members of the android community.

Open Any Cut and select activity. The scroll down to WIRELESS CONTROLS. Select that and it will make a short cut for you. When you press the icon it should open the wireless controls, there you have access to wifi and bluetooth.

T-Mobile OTA Update Bug (Android 2.3.4, Software 1.45.531.1) Affects Lockscreen

Just discovered a very annoying bug with this new OTA update. I've had it for about an hour, and everything else has been good except for this.
With the lockscreen, my first shortcut icon (Phone Dialer) suddenly disappeared. I have no clue how to get it back.
When I try to re-assign it as a shortcut, it doesn't appear on the shortcuts menu.
I'm 1,000% positive that I did not erase the dialer icon in the lockscreen edit menu.
Anyways, this is just a heads up for some of you TmoUSA people who just got the OTA update.
And if anybody has any suggestions on how to prevent/fix this, or get back my phone dialer shortcut, I'd really appreciate it.

I got the phone dialer and it did not disappear from lock screen after the update.

I think this may be an isolated incident. But wow none the less. I would suggest a wipe brother.

Wow, that sucks to know that it's just me
Not that I would wish this problem on any of you, just kinda bothers me because I factory-resetted just yesterday

It's not just you. I still have the phone on my first button of the lock screen, but if I go to edit the lockscreen buttons, the first one is now blank, and Phone is not an option in the list of available apps to assign.
As long as I don't change it, it's good...

The EVO 3D had this problem with 2.3.3 at launch. HTC sent out a minor update to fix. Expect a minor update in the near future.

I wonder if I should just install a phone dialer app from the market and see if that can be a workaround.
What do you guys think?

If you save any changes from that screen you'll lose the icon.

Really, yikes. I think I like the 4 I have there now so I'll leave it alone for the time being.
1st - Web
2nd - Phone
3rd - Gmail
4th - Messages

With all these issues I'm seeing I think ima just stick to leedroid or stock rooted. I'm playing around on my myTouch before I sale it.

I just got the update and yes, while I still have the Phone icon on my lockscreen, if I go to the Settings page for the screen the position is blank and "Phone" isn't an option in the list of programs to launch.
It looks like birgertime's work-around may be what you need, until HTC (hopefully) releases a fix for this.
In the mean time, I'm not going to change my lockscreen icons (not that I frequently do anyway).

Not just you. Same thing happened to me. Just got the update today.

i had the same issue, the phone (dialer) missing from menu and lock screen. I downloaded the shortcut from the link above and it worked. Thanx for the shortcut.

I just got the update and I don't have any issues with my lock screen. maybe try to change in your lock screen htc gives us like 6 to choose from 'm using the 1 that shows status updates from facebook and such.
also my wifi is working a lot better I still lose signal when I grip it in landscape mode but it doesn't lose signal completely and I can still use wi-fi even in landscape mode holding it with both hands

The workaround works great! Thanks for the help, everybody.

I was just reading this thread when I noticed that I had the same bug after changing the lockscreen icons. Will flashing a ROM over the update help?

[Q] Need help BEFORE I buy the TF300

After reading a lot of reviews I figured out this tablet is very good, it has a reasonable price with good specs.
But I also read about the display issues on this tablet, like this thread and this thread
The issue is "flickering lines" on left edge of the screen. and people said this issue is fixed with the update .29
also in asus support site they say this update fixes "flickering screen" issue too.
so can you tell me is this information correct? does it really fix the problem?
i want to make sure this.
assuming that this update fixes the problem, how do i root my transformer pad tf300?
people say i can use sparkyroot (was used for the prime tf201) to root if the version is .17
but if it's .17 then it has the flickering display issue, so is there a way to root it but still have the version update .29 (i want to have my tablet rooted AND also have the latest update from asus, because i think update is important)
i heard that i can root it at .17, and use and app "root keeper" to "keep root", and then update, tablet will lose root, but use the app the get root back.
is this correct?
thank you

dont have any flickering issues.
i ust hope in the cm9 release they will allow for OC, so it can be as fast as the tf201

Yes. That's what I did. Root at .17, save root, upgrade to .29, reinstall root.

Assuming you won't unlock the bootloader, Aliaird is exactly right. If you do want to unlock the tablet, it doesn't matter. You can just flash the root zip in the CWM thread.

+1 alliard correct.
Unlock, however, voids your warranty permanently.
You do not have to unlock to root. If out of the box it's running .17 then hold off all updates till rooted.

Voodoo OTA Root Keeper - it's in the market Edit: Market link https://play.google.com/store/search?q=ota+rootkeeper
here's the guide on how to use Sparky Root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633125
and here's the root thread for the TF300
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633125

another question: there's no home button on the tf300, so how do i exit full-screen apps? there's a "home button" on android ics at the bottom-left of the screen - in status bar, but what if i'm using a full-screen app, because there's no status bar, so how do i exit the app.
[sorry, never used android ICS before]

the taskbar is always present, the icons just kind of fade for full screen apps. only way to fully hide it is to use gmd gesture control once rooted.

The flickering issues are gone. You don't have to unlock to root with the old kernel, but it's really worth unlocking anyway because you're going to end up wanting CM9 once it's stable.
<3!

Sorry to threadjack, but I have a question related to a post.

I tried this app. It lists TF300 in the supported devices in the description, but it doesn't work. I gave it root permission and installed Titanium for Busybox (I know I could have installed Busybox separately, but Titanium seemed easiest), but no matter whether I set it to use Busybox or not, the taskbar never hid. The little message would pop up that I did the status bar gesture, but the status bar never did anything. Even manually pressing the toggle did nothing except flash the message that the status bar was hidden. The bar never disappeared.
I was using the lite version, but I never locked the tablet between starting the app and hiding the bar.
Am I doing something wrong?

Something completely different: first of all ask yourself why you want to have a tablet?
I have asked that question myself too and I thought I knew the answer, but now I know better.
I wanted a tablet to have a mobile version of a netbook (small, lightweight) with the possibility to sketch and read on it.
Now I have an android tablet I know I should have bought the Ipad. Not because I like Apple or the TF300T is a bad buy (absolutely not).
The app ecosystem is very, very underdeveloped when it comes to sophisticated sketch apps.
I love the TF300T for its value for money. But from a designers point of view it is severly hindered by the lack of proper apps in the Play Store.
If you are a designer, Ipad is IMHO the only choice. It's expensive, but the apps are sweeeet.
If you are not .. go for android and the TF300T is an exellent choice (even though I had to return it twice due to screen issues)

well, i asked about the tablet's issues and some information about rooting before i buy it, i didn't ask about the iPad or why would i want this tablet.

so how do you make it appear while using full screen apps? will it appear if i just tap at the bottom of the screen? that would be annoying, because sometimes you accidentally do that.
is it better if i completely hide it and use button savior instead?

The app uses gestures to hide/unhide the status bar (hence the name "Gesture Control" ). The default gesture is to swipe up with three fingers.

It works fine for me. As already suggested try installing busybox separately.
Also make sure you press the option to use busybox at the bottom of the first screen you get when you open up the gesturecontrol app

Optioned checked but after I switch apps or a few minutes pass by it stops working . I don't mean the bar comes back but that the gesture is recognized, it tries to bring the bar back and nothing happens. I tried locking and coming back as well as manually clicking the toggle but it stays closed, the only way to bring it back being to reboot.
This is with SuperSU and the busybox box checked.

Lets you be reminded that the SD card is there and working ... ;-) .(pun intended) in the prime the micro SD slot was so flush that it would just spring out when you accidentally touched it and fly across the room ...Asus did some minor changes with the shape of the back panel of tf300 after the issues with prime.

I too was hoping there was a way to hide the SD card notification icon.

Any luck on this? Very annoying. Or is there way to make the shortcut open different file browser? Thanks. Guess this is a bump

Please, I have the same problem, it is very frustrating, I do not know why is this information in notifications
OT: Does anybody know if there is possibility to change the web browser what is opened with key on dock keyboard - the browser button??
Thank you

System ui tuner

I am Not sure if everyone has found this little feature yet, but it is pretty neat. On the menu drop down, press and hold the little gear icon (settings) until it starts spinning. Let go and now system UI tuner will be added to your menu. .
It allows for some pretty neat customizations

That is the #1 thing I am looking forward too in MM - lol

Do One Thing install Custom Quick Settings from the Play Store. You can customize the quick settings.

Damn shame Google nixed the Dark MM UI option they were working on for the System UI Tuner.
It was the only real tweak from this menu that I was looking forward to.

I really only stuck with the battery percent in the battery since, for some unknown reason, moto doesn't offer the percentage instead of the icon.. I guess I'm just spoiled from using CM. And touchwiz where you could do that

Sweet. Loving the embedded battery percentage and removing some of the status bar icons to clean it up a little. Thanks for the tip.

I am holding it down and nothing happens, if referring to the gear icon up by the battery icon on top right corner.
Yep, you are, but not working for me. Weird. I wonder since i have already activated dev options? Not same stuff though. Nope, disabled dev options and still not working.
Non rooted stock device. Strange. Does not spin.
Update: I restarted the device and now works.

Seems you have disabled animation in developer options. Enable it and restart mobile. Then try pressing it again and you will see it enabled.
You can then go and disable animation once again. Hope that helps.

Wow! I was looking for the system ui tuner and couldnt find it. I'm happy to have found this thread. I'm not sure everybody who owns this device knowing about this hidden feature.
Also, when i tweak the quick tiles, and then select to remove the system tuner from the settings menu, it switches back to "default" quick tiles.
Is this supposed to happen? I mean, do I have to keep "system ui tuner" in the settings menu in order to have the tiles i chose?
Hope you understand everything, I don't speak well english.

I think it was the source of some problems I was having on my XPE too. My paired bluetooth devices kept unpairing. I posted about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/help/paired-bluetooth-devices-unpairing-t3298262
Long story short, I tried everything and I could think of and finally got a replacement from Moto, only to have the same thing happen with the new phone. Then I disabled System UI Tweaker and it hasn't happened since, and it has been several days.
