Figured perhaps a bug thread for the Rogers 2.2 update may be in order?
Not sure if this is a bug or not, but it does seem a bit odd. The lock screen usually has the text "swipe screen to unlock" or something to that nature (the part with the <<< and >>>) - mine had it to begin with in 2.2, however now it has dissapeared and I just see the little lock icon saying the phone is locked. Is there any way to get it back or is this a 2.2 "feature" so you see more of your background?
The 2nd problem I noticed I have already started a thread on (and no replies ) - it deals with contact linking and Facebook. Seems something is whacky there too possibly. The thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=907088

Definitely a feature. I love the clearer lock screen.
Bug: Haptic feedback vibration is very low system wide (not including soft keys).
Bug: Voice Dialer (Voice Dialler) is misspelled in the App Drawer.
Bug: Going to Settings > Display > Font Style causes a crash.
All I remember so far but there has been several.

Confirmed feature of Froyo, or is this a Rogers/Samsung specific feature? Just wondering because it WAS showing up for a few lock screens right after the upgrade, then eventually stopped showing up - reboot/battery reset didn't get it back... haven't tried a factory reset yet to see if that fixes it (if it's broke).

No problems here - did you have it set to a custom/non default font when upgrading? I had mine on default (I prefer that to any other font) and have no issues changing fonts.
I've had some issues with wifi losing it's internet / market connection after wake up sometimes. shows still connected, but no network access. i have to turn wifi off, then back on occasionally.

Go to Settings -> Wireless and network -> Wi-Fi settings. From this screen, hit your menu key and select Advanced and try changing your Wi-Fi sleep policy to Never... perhaps it's set to "When screen turns off" causing you to lose Wi-Fi whenever you lock your phone?
Oh, another bug possibly...
Go to Camera app and open Settings. Open the wrench tab and go to the 2nd page. Click the Update button beside Firmware update. Either of the next two menu choices ("Check version by network" or "Firmware update") seem to freeze the phone (power off required). Doesn't seem to happen all the time, but my first time trying to get the update to do something caused the phone to lock up in to camera mode.
Also, the "It will occur additional fee." message is quite fun... no idea what fees I will incur, or for what reason (and I won't even get in to the grammar issues).

Well it can't be a Froyo feature because no other manufactures use the same lock screen as they do. So it's a Samsung feature brought on by Froyo. Simply, it can't be a bug.

Yeah, I had to it some other font besides the default font...guess I'm screwed now? Bugs like these make me more anxious to get real Froyo.

Its much faster and smoother than 2.1 stock was for me. Did you set it up fresh? Older settings can cause issues.
you guys have this issue? you may not even know it until you try to use mass storage mode. I use iSyncr (lets me use smart playlists based on ratings) so I need mass storage mode.

My wife and I (each have a Captivate) have had none of the bugs you guys have mentioned.
All we have experienced is a faster phone and WAY better battery life.
The only thing that upset me is that the update deleted my Ocean Wave livewallpaper, but I just redownloaded it.
Did some of you guys experiencing bugs ever run a custom ROM? I am thinking maybe these issues might be because you did...
Re: Haptic Feedback.
I've noticed it too, it's much weaker than before.
I could have sworn that I saw the option to turn up the intensity before, but can't find it now.
I want to update, but all these bugs are not very comforting

Go for it..I installed it and so far the improvements have been great over 2.1
Battery life is much improved, its faster than stock 2.1 (and after applying Ryan's OCLF...its incredibly responsive)
If you do have a lagfix installed prior to upgrading you should uninstall that first. Thats what I did and didn't have much problems. my one issue with Swype was fixed by clearing the cache.

I gave it a go on your recommendation. Updated with no issues, now to actually try using it...
Has anyone rooted after applying 2.2? If so, what did you use?
I've been having issues turning on WiFi on my phone ever since I installed the update.
I accidentally clicked Airplane mode on my phone this morning, now my phone has been trying to turn the WiFi back on for about 5 mins....
As for battery life, my phone the first few days after installing Froyo seemed great, but now it doesn't really seem as good? No idea why....
And I've noticed a bit of lag at times while navigating on my phone.
Using LauncherPro Plus as my home screen, haven't rooted or installed any roms or anything.
I have noticed that when you turn the phone on from when it is off, if you don't wait for the wallpaper to display before swiping your phone on, the phone will stall. Mine stalled for about 5 minutes before it responded again.
I'm having a couple of small issues:
1) I can't get the GPS to look position. It just displays "Waiting for Location" and sits there.
2) OCLG - I got about 1000 on quadrant score. It doesn't seem laggy but I wanted to apply this lagfix to see if it can be better. I tried runnig the first option in the menu (z4 rooting), and it tries to launch either a page or the market (not sure which) but says "Page Not Found", but when you close it and press back, it says the root was successful, but all the other options are still "unavailable" so I can't apply the lagfix. There's a second method in the menu to do a root and that one fails as well, so I'm not sure how to get this working.
3) Camera - I got the same problem as a previous poster for the firmware update where it says "fees will occur" then when I click "yes", it tries to launch a page/market (again not sure) and says "Page Not Found".
4) Rooting - not sure how to root because the previous method of putting my update.zip and doing it through the recovery menu fails.
Any help is appreciated.
I was running rooted lagfixed stock Rogers 2.1 before. Removed lagfix first and did a factory reset before updating to 2.2 through Kies.
After updating to 2.2 I re-rooted and lagfixed with no issue.
Things bugs I have noticed on my phone:
- Camera a few times had started up with a black screen only with usual camera options but it's as if it does not see anything from the lens (had done camera fw update on it. You can download it from Samsung Apps app)
- When viewing "Contacts" can't press Back button to exit it so I just press Home button. Small bug
- can't set up smtp outbound email settings on stock email app. Keep getting it can't connect with server even when manually inputting correct settings.
- Battery undetermined as i've been playing with GPS a lot testing it so it drains pretty quick.
- GPS - Had no problems with 2.1 (using GPS + "Use wireless networks") but it's been horrible on 2.2. Locks ok when stationary, fluctuating between 5-9 satellite locks (used lbstestmode to check) but when you are moving or when using it for Navigation, it will be ok for a short bit then would eventually start bouncing all over the place or start getting weak/lost locks. Was using it on the hwy one time and it would suddenly tell me to do a u-turn because it thought I was on a side road. (condition was clear and phone was by windshield).
What it did fix for me:
- Opening Gallery before would sometimes lock up the phone requiring battery pull in 2.1. Fixed for me with 2.2
- Running latest updated Maps would sometimes lock up the phone requiring battery pull in 2.1. Fixed for me with 2.2 but still somewhat useless because of issue mentioned previously.
I can live with all the bugs except for the abismal gps.
I just upgraded to cm7 and now sometimes when I try to install an app from an apk file it wont let me hit the install button.
If I am using Amazon appstore it works, the same type of screen comes up and I can install stuff. But when installing from a downloaded apk (like from here) the button just doesn't work... it isn't greyed out or anything but is simply unresponsive.

Hey I have this same problem, did you ever figure out this issue? Thanks!
Please let me know if anyone knows how to fix this issue, I'm having the same problem
Bump this
Problem persists on my phone as well. Brand new Droid X2 stock ROM rooted with zergrush kit including busybox, superuser, and recently installed: nobloat free, droidwall, SD Booster, blade buddy, spare parts+, and setcpu (which is pretty much useless without a custom ROM that has the kernel to support it)
Edit: make sure unknown sources is checked under app settings =]
Edit again: NOPE still a problem =[
Edit again: FIGURED IT OUT!!!! Simply turn off your screen filter! =D (I don't know why, but that WAS my problem 100%)
Hi all, I'm facing the same problem, but I don't have screen filter installed. What else have you tried?
Here's my main post about this.
I've also heard that Juice Defender can cause this problem. Sadly, like you, I still can't fix it on my phone!
Anyone?
AHA! I found mine! TEAM Battery Bar. It's a spectacular app; if you've not gotten it yet, I highly recommend it. I just turned it off within the app itself, (I checked running apps to give me a clue,) and the installer button worked.
After hearing about several display-related apps causing the problem, I looked for those on my phone. TEAM Battery Bar does indeed run a constant display item, so I think that's the key. I'll notify the dev. He's pretty responsive.
I can confirm: disabling TEAM Battery Bar solve the problem! thanks

Thanks, that fixed my problem on my Galaxy S2 with LPQ ICS rom. Probably should report it to the dev for fixing...
in my case Juice Defender was a problem, since I don't have any screen filters installed
uninstalling Juice Defender fixed my phone
EDIT Friend of mine has the same phone (SGS2) with the same ROM installed, JD never caused any problems with his phone
The only difference between my JD settings and his - I got brightness control enabled, so maybe that was a problem, not JD itself

I'm currently on SGS2 rooted stock LPQ and just figured it out myself that Screen Filter is actually doing something so that the install button cant be pressed. Has anyone informed the dev?
Edit: just mailed the dev of Screen Filter hoping for confirmation and fix
'Lux Auto Brightness' is causing the same issue, so seems that all the applications trying to adjust screen brightness will cause the issue.
By the moment I disable it, I am able again to install apks... really weird
Also, not clear why only the install button is effectively disabled, as cancel bitton works and the 'show all perms' drop down , also works

Thanks for all the infos, guys. For me, it was both Lux Auto Brightness and Twilight. I disabled them using task manager and everything went smoothly from that. Explains why no matter how much I reboot, it doesn't fix things. I also have avast Mobile Antivirus installed and it has a constant display notification but it doesn't cause any issues. I am guessing it has something to do with code wired to the phone's hardware? As all the apps causing problems had to do with overlapping device setting control over screen brightness or hue.
I practically ran into the same problem as outlined above. Since googling for this issue was not straightforward, I thought it wise to make the answer to this issue into a micro-guide.
I can no longer install apps (apk's) from the Amazon App Store, or from downloaded apk files, but the market works fine.
I am not rooted, and I am still running 3.2 (US). This started in the last few days, but I can't think of anything that I have done.
I cold booted, but I still get the same results; The install dialog box comes up with the options at the bottom "Install" or "Cancel", however, install does nothing, the window is active because you can press "Show All", or "Cancel" and those do work, but not "Install". I can't think of anything that I have overlooked.
Any Ideas?

http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...-package-installer-will-not-install-apks.html
The most a) likely solution comes in the form of b) security applications interfering with the installation, c) package incompatibility with the device or screen filter applications used to lower the device's brightness below the minimal limit of the Brightness settings.
In my case it was the application "Lux" which was to blame. Thus make sure to untick "stay alive in the "generals" option menu. And kill the Lux app. Now installation proceeds unhindered. Avast was not at fault. So don't freak,- often the solutions are trivial - finding the answers isn't.
Thanks to anyone who contributed in the original thread and to xda.
Oh man, thanks for this! For me, it was the app 'Screen Adjuster' that was blocking apps from being installed. I turned that off, and I finally have an ad blocker again!

Re: Install apk problem - install button not working
If not already done:
Settings -> Apps -> All -> Package Installer Clear Cache & Data, Force Stop, reboot. If this doesn't work repeat, but reboot into recovery and wipe the cache partition.
Still having issues try AppInstaller. Still having issues, there must be a bad system app (frameworks?) that needs clearing and force closed.
100% work
Thank you so much! I was about to tear my hair out in frustration! I had tried everything! But this never occured to me.
I had this inssue too. It's problem with apps which work in background and creating some overlay elements. Disable all this apps and than you can install normally. I had this problem on P.A.C. Rom, after addition of HALO
Sorry for my bad english
Was having trouble installing APKs. The 'install' button was not working. Turning off halo fixed problem.
Another app causing the issue
Velis Auto brightness.
Too bad, because I liked this app. If anyone knows of an app like that that does not cause the issue, I would appreciate the name.

My was the Easy Eye. It overlays screen element to minimize blue LED.

I'd flash a ROM. I recommend CM10 to have Jelly Bean! There are a lot of ROMS in the dev section. Go choose one. Make sure you flash a recovery!
Sent from my CM10 Blaze
I'll second the recommendation to go to a JB based rom.
any convincing wins for the JB release? as i am pretty content with what i have on ICS. everything has been smooth so far, nothing buggy at all.
improvements todo: root, remove bloatware, get wifi tethering to work (currently broadcasts signal but devices cannot connect - says connection is unsuccessful)
here are my screenshots (if i should get something else):
1. Lock screen - I noticed the text notification that appears turned black in ics, which i like. it just blends in with my lock screen wallpaper. going for the simple dark black wallpaper for longer battery life? i guess haha
farm9.staticflickr.com/8250/8453732470_8826585926.jpg
2. Screen 1 - man that weather widget that comes with Eye in the Sky is the best weather app! plain simple
farm9.staticflickr.com/8251/8453732494_45cd46759f.jpg
3. Screen 2 - My home screen with a black google search bar that came with ics, yay! also using Widgetsoid with those widgets that i happen to use quite often.
farm9.staticflickr.com/8381/8453732504_333f2afecf.jpg
4. Screen 3 - Well more Widgetsoid action going here. This is my utilities section. I just decided to turn my regular icons into the widgetsoid theme. The weather is actually USB tethering now here. I am enjoying the sound recorder and flashlight of easy access.
farm9.staticflickr.com/8385/8453732484_e8fef3b090.jpg
so yep, recommend widgetsoid and eye in the sky. AND I AM A NOOB ON XDA CAN'T POST LINKS OR PICS
Swype is a little slow in messaging for some reason. A weird icon appears every time at the top of notifications indicating 'Swype in use' so that may be making swype a bit more laggy. ANYONE EXPERIENCE THIS? this new icon appears in ics and not gingerbread. what about JB?
There is the Tweaked ICS rom also if you do like ICS. It's already debloated and optimized. The Swpye icon can be diasbled in the swype options.
Also you can disable most the bloatware now that you are on the stock ICS. Go to settings > apps > select "all" and disable what you want (if it can be).
As for JB, they are all pretty good (bug free). I'm currently using Slim Bean 3.1 with the inverted packages, but you really can't go wrong with any of them. Try them and find out. But you still have to flash CWM and make a backup with it first thing.
GL and enjoy.

Some may need to have the updates uninstalled first, it's in the same location.
it seems like i was able to do a lot of stuff already without rooting. thanks to the disable app feature in ICS, it is pretty much like titanium backup. ended up bypassing the built-in hotspot check and can tether wifi.
well, i ended up rooting. so what am i to use root features on?
guess i can only think of AdFree. also, i can permanently remove disabled apps. anything else to take advantage of root access?
If you go to a Jellybean based rom, most of them have button light notifications. "What is that?", you may ask...
The blaze doesn't have an LED to visually notify you if a call came or a message came...sure, the screen can activate when the call is coming, but if you're in the other room and don't hear it, or if the phone is on silent and you don't see it, you'll never know about it until you actually check your phone by turning on the screen...
Which many people do INCESSANTLY.
Button light notifications can enable the back/home/voice/settings LED to light up so you can be notified of it. It's nice to have.
Also, Google Now works by default with JellyBean, no funny business required. I had Google Now on rooted ICS and I liked it, but the only one that works on ICS for our phone is of course a much older version of Now, and it doesn't support certain features.
Google now is great, check it out on youtube or something.
This might get asked a lot but how is the battery life on JB??
For ICS, I'm currently charging about once every 1.5 days. I usually charge it at night, sometimes I can skip one night and charge it the night after. Sometimes I do use the phone a lot during the day and need to charge it within the next night, maybe even within half a day, but rarely. Sometimes I just charge it at work, so ~1.5 days. To get the 2 days worth, I'm usually Airplane mode-ing it when I'm definitely not going to be looking at my phone, such as at work except for breaks - I can probably go 2.5 days like this, but I still charge at 2.
How does JB compare?

I have noticed a number of times now that I will download an app and its installer will run but when I get to the screen where I have to click either the "install" button or the "cancel" button, that the "install" button does not work. It has no effect and doesn't highlight - just seems completely dead. The "cancel" button always still works when this happens.
It has happened for apps being installed or updated from play and it has also happened on sideloaded or other apps - like my non-play version of tasker which just had an update to download and install. Downloaded just fine, "install" button non-functional. Rebooted the phone, went to the Download folder and launched the apk - now the install button works fine! WTF?!
This is very annoying. The same thing has happened trying to install some apps directly from google play. It will download and start the install, but when it comes time to click the install button - it doesn't work. Reboot the phone, go back to google play, and now it will install properly.
Is anyone else seeing this? How common is it? My phone is rooted, but everything else is stock.
Install button problem
I had this problem with "Turn off the screen" app. However, that's the only one so far
Just happened again - that's about 6 times today
I've been trying lots of apps on my new nexus 5, so lots of installs. From the tasker site, I downloaded two icon packs to the Download directory. I'm using es explorer to look at the details of the two apk files. When I click on them, I get the screen that shows me the applications access and asks me if I want to install it. The install button at the bottom does nothing, the cancel button works as expected.
Now I'm going to reboot - and experience tells me I will then be able to install them both...
Interesting - I was able to install the first icon apk, but not the second one. So installing the first one is causing some sort of state change, or something else started later in the phone's start up process to block it. Rebooting again and waiting this time for everything that starts on boot to start...
That was unexpected - I still can't install it. Going to try rebooting again and trying to install it earlier...
Alright, that seems to be the key. I was able to install it multiple times but eventually the install buttton stopped working.
I started killing applications and trying to install the apk after each app quit. I traced it to Juice Defender Ultimate, which is a surprise. I can disable Juice from its menu, keeping it loaded, and the install works. When I click the enable button in Juice, the install button for the apk immediately stops working.
I will continue searching and experimenting and report back my results. Have any other Juice Defender users noticed the problem?
Juice defender is a crap app. Don't use it, it'll only make matters worse for your battery.
I agree, it's not worth using it. Anyway when I used it some time ago I also had this problem, it's linked to the brightness control, so you need to disable it before every installation. They also have a fixed installer app that automatically disable auto brightness before install and then enable if after it finished. If your phone don't ask what app you want to use to install then clear the default app settings and choose the fixed installer next time.

I have removed Juice Defender
Thanks for your reply. I had also noticed some unexpected changes in screen brightness with juice defender and will be interested to see if that also disappears now that it's gone.
I also own tasker so I'm looking at using that to save power by changing the phone settings in various ways.
Thanks for the input! It's a strange problem that the cancel button works but the install button doesn't.

Get betterbatterystats to see what wake locks are keeping your device awake. That's the best way to get good battery life. It can take a little figuring but once you know what's causing the problem you can start to address it
It isn't a problem. When an app like juice defender or screen filter or lux auto brightness controls your brightness, they use an overlay to make it look like your screen is getting darker than it can. The overlay, since it covers the entire screen without you noticing, also disables the install button. This is a security feature implemented BY GOOGLE to keep an overlay app with malicious intent from being able to hit the install button and installing things without you knowing.
THIS IS NOT A BUG
