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.

Some ICS 4.0 bugs and quirks

NOTE: This is a list of bugs for STOCK (NON-MODDED) ICS 4.0.3 & 4.0.4 (LC4, LD2, and LE2) (Most bugs from the initial LC4 leak fixed after the two major version leak updates) from DesignGears.
If you have flashed to ANY OTHER CUSTOM ICS 4.0 ROM, PLEASE WRITE IN THE DEVELOPERS' / ROM thread.
1 - 03/26/2012: When selecting "Contacts to Display" and selecting CUSTOMIZE LIST > Selecting ONLY Google Contacts (EXCLUDE G+).
Then you start typing someone's name, it returns contacts in SIM card and on Google contacts.
2 - 03/26/2012: Autocorrect on the included "Android Keyboard" doesn't work by pressing spacebar.....like it had been in previous 2.3.6. Even when changing setting to VERY AGGRESSIVE. FIXED IN UCLD2 LEAK
3 - 03/26/2012 [CONFIRMED] When deleting a message thread, the phone will freeze and turn into a blank screen (except notification bar) then the messaging app will close. FIXED IN UCLD2 LEAK
4 - 03/26/2012: [CONFIRMED] When using the "PHONE" icon to bring up dialer, contacts tab is no longer associated in it.
5 - 03/27/2012: 50/50 Users report more sensitivity on the touch screen, some report lack of sensitivity of touch.
6 - 03/27/2012: HOW TO take screen shot: Press AND HOLD ... VOL DOWN + POWER BUTTON for at LEAST 1-2 SECONDS. You will then be prompted to view the screenshot in notification bar / indicator.
METHOD #2 of taking screenshots: Press and HOLD Power button + HOME key.
7 - 03/29/2012: Some users report when tapping "RESTART" or "SHUTDOWN" on STOCK Power-button option, the phone will freeze. Either you have it or you don't. FIXED IN UCLD2 LEAK
7 - 04/02/2012: Users report echoing or unable to hear other party on an INCOMING call. This is a "hit or miss" bug.
8 - 04/02/2012: [CONFIRMED]Bluetooth stack in the new kernel has resolved a LOT of vehicle-to-android phone issue (static, drops, functions, etc.).
10 - 04/04/2012: [CONFIRMED BIG ISSUE] When creating a new contact in phone and setting it to GOOGLE CONTACTs; forcing a sync or auto-sync option will NOT push the contact to google servers for backup purposes. However, deleting or creating a contact while logged in on a full web browser will push it back to the phone via sync. FIXED IN UCLD2 LEAK
11 - 04/09/2012: [CONFIRMED] There are known issues with stock email app. Syncing unread/read e-mails will not push back to exchange server email client. Also emails me not completely send and stays "stuck" in outgoing box.
FIX (Thanks dixit):
This google thread shows the official issue and show that it was fixed officially in 4.0.4.
https://code.google.com/p/android/is...etail?id=23534
If you scroll down to post 51 you will see there is a link where someone put the two 4.0.4 APKs from a Spring Nexus S 4G which fixes this issue as explained above. So just go to that link, download the two Email/Exchange APKs, put them in System/App, correct permissions, remove your two Samsung Native Email APKs, and that will fix the issue of emails being stuck in the outbox.
Here is the direct link to those two APKs off Post 51
http://files.devphone.org/404mail/
11 - 04/15/2012: [CONFIRMED] When adjusting ringtone level in SETTINGS > SOUNDS, the ringtone level will not lower or raise; it stays at one level.
FIX: Adjust via volume rocker while in any other system screen (Home, MMS, etc) BUT NOT IN-APP. *Thanks petrochemicals!*

Here's what I found and posted in another thread...
So far so good except a few things:
1) I hate the fact that "contacts" are no longer visible in the dialer. Now I need another icon that I rarely use. The only option appears to hit menu and select contacts from there.
2) The "power off" and "restart" options in the extended power menu (hold power button down) seem to lock up and freeze whenever I try to use one of these thus requiring a battery pull. Anyone else experiencing this?
3) Can't use built in hotspot tethering anymore. This is something that I use with my tablet often. Any solutions other than a 3rd party app? If not, what app is everyone using for hotspot tethering?
4) Why in the world don't the signal bars turn green once fully connected? It's driving me crazy because normally that means its not connected to your Google account. This is the first time I've seen this (of MANY different Android phones). - This appears to be an ATT thing as other carriers and phones change the signal bars color when its connected to your google account (as it always should be).

Grey bars, works for for me; turning green = same color as battery = confusion to some it is acting as a double icon of ur battery? lol
I don't get a freeze in the menu.... I'm assuming you're talking about the built-in menu not a modded one? I just use the one that came with the ICS.
Hotspot tethering, you'll have to wait for a dev to mod that unless you are wanting an app for it.

I can tell you that I got my portable hotspot to work. It gave me numerous error messages though when I first went to set it up and the screen freezes when I turn it on. I went back to home and back to the hotspot settings and the toggle remained on. I changed the default password to all 9s bc I was getting an invalid password error. After that, I connected my old iPhone to the Skyrocket wi-fi.
I used to use Barnicle Wi-fi tether but it doesn't work now. Is there a difference between the stock portable wi-fi hotspot program on the phone and Barnicle? Im just curious if Barnicle masked the fact that the user was tethering.

Yes, I'm referring to the built in power menu. I fixed permissions in CWM and still no go. Any ideas???

I find the keyboard to be a bit slow on the responsive side. Anyone else running into that or am I just trying to type too fast?

Perform a Factory data / reset?
I find the new keyboard fairly responsive vs the old one; I just thought i typed too fast for the old one lol. This one actually keeps up and Swype keyboard tapping works more fluent as well.

good job guys, keep up the troubleshooting so hopefully some devs will cook up a nice rom

I'll give that a spin. I did that once already to fix my home button problem, so I'll try and do another. But yea I use to use the ICS keyboard from the market on GB, and that was quick enough for me.

stuff I notice so far
I did notice the contact tab missing from dialer. The menu selected one doesn't allow right and left swipe for call/text. In the contacts app, the swipe works ok.
the only real problem for me, thus far, is when deleting SMS threads; messaging force closes.
Anyone else have that?
BTW thanks for starting this thread, wasn't sure where to post bugs - I think this may be usefull to keep them all in one spot.

Getting some odd behavior from Rom Mngr
Aside from other errors I got, when I ask ROM Mngr. to perform a task, I get a bunch of errors like "Messaging has failed," "Internet has failed," "com.google.xx" has failed. But then it goes and performs the request.
However! Whereas on 2.3.6 UCLA3, when requesting a backup via ROM Mngr., it would go straight to the backup whereas now, it goes into CWM and I still have to select Backup from the option there.

Deleting threads freezes my messaging also.

Noticed a new one.
Not getting pictures with messages now, too.
Nvm. Damn - I hate bug posts. They come, they go.

The only thing I've noticed so far is I don't seem to get LTE in my house anymore. Boo...

I'm having issues with audio files. I can't use either Google Play Music, Samsung Music Player or Doubletwist to play audio. It creates duplicates which I believe corrupt the file itself.

I get it too, but there is no need for a battery pull if it freezes during a restart.
Press and hold the power button and the phone will restart after a few seconds.
It's a leak, not an official release, so I fully expected bugs.
Face unlock crashes a lot for me.
It fails o power on the camera and then the keypad doesn't respond for PIN input.
Requires a reboot.

Did you do a complete ext4 wipe / format prior to ODIN ONE CLICK ?
Run factory data reset, then fix permissions and then reboot. Face unlock works perfect and pin input works.

Facial unlock is perfect for me. No problems whatsoever.

[Q] Volume setting

Sup guys, new here and I browsed around and didnt find this, maybe its just a setting;
But Im on my new S3, and when I go to hit the volume rocker down (to turn it on silent or up to loud so I can hear call rings) Its changing my In-game volume only. Now I woke up to this, maybe I was asleep and changed something I do not know. But this is a hassle, I know I can change the volume on all three settings by clicking the gear icon to get the pop up window but its seriously a hassle, I want the default volume rocker to control the phones notifications, vibrate function etc. Is this a easy setting fix?
Also, side note to the main problem, but has there been an update or setting put into place for the re-sized text on webpages? I switched from my HTC Thunderbolt and it did that automatically, I read in some reviews this was one of the S3's downfall. I've looked through the IE settings and nothing appears on that subject. Am I just going to have to hold it landscape or scroll to read USA Money all the time?:crying: Hopefully not, but any input is appreciated bros.

It will usually change the volume with respect to your current context, I've seen: if in a game with sound (which is most of them on my phone), it will change the overall Game/media volume, but if on a home screen it changes my ringtone volume. I also get appropriate volume changes for when in a call and/or on my Bluetooth earset.
I only know of going into Settings->Sound or using the gear shortcut in the notification bar or when changing any other sound to alter my System volume.

No, the stock browser has degraded in my opinion: it has no auto-wrap of text for zoomed pages. Opera is now my default browser because of various reasons, but this was the highest priority one to fix (and, Opera re-wraps quite well, IMHO). I have seen other owners here who liked Dolphin browser, too.

In the stock browser, there is actually a setting (not on by default) that makes it auto wrap. Although I use chrome, my roommate uses default and has no problems.

There is an "auto-fit pages" setting under the Settings->Advanced submenu, though this is not the same as word-wrapping, I've found.
If your roommate has a different setting they use, that would be interesting to learn.

Problem fixed, it was a weird app I recently installed that was asking weird permissions, after I uninstalled and restarted, problem fixed.
But not to be a problem after problem thread, but my Burst mode in taking pictures doesn't take the 20 second burst mode, only the 8 "Best shot". When trying to take a 20 picture burst, it only takes one and goes to processing. What could that be?

[Q] Nexus 5 Dialer problem.

Any help would be appreciated. I can upload a video of the problem. MODS: sorry if this is the wrong area. please move if necessary.

Having the same problem! really annoying!!! Was not how Nexus 4 was or any other phone I have used. There have been settings on some dialers of what to do after hanging up, like return to dialer, return to call log or home screen. None on this built apparently.

I tried wiping the just the general play store data before and it didn't fix the issue. Just wiped all play related data: magazine, books, etc and it solved the issue. Thanks

i had the exact same issue, or more precisely :
I receive or pass a call. then, instead of going to the "in call" screen with the big red "hang up" button, i'm back to the home screen...
now this can happen, if i press the home button, but i don't. And if that was that, then first i would have the small "phone" logo in the upper left notification telling me i'm currently in call, and the "in call" screen would be accessible from the task manager, however the task manager displays absolutely nothing.... just like i wasn't making any call at all, except i can hear the person on the other side in my speaker.
Then i click on the big blue phone logo to get to the dialer screen, but i then get a screen which i never had before, with a black transparent background, proposing me to either use the default keyboard (if i click it i get the keyboard), either to "return to current call", and when i click it, i'm back to the homescreen... so the only way to hang up is to shut the phone down...
it's happened to me twice yesterday, but never before....
PS: just so we might find a common app that would cause the issue, i have installed on my N5 these apps :
dashclock
file manager
prochain bus
ridiculous fishing
sygic
today calendar
vlc
and thats all. Any of you have some apps in common ?

I also had the same issue during the first week or so...but with tym and aftr update the issue vanished!! Since 2014 i nvr faced this issue again!!

Different Dialer problem
Hi,
I am rooted running beanstalk. But before flashing had stock rom then Purity.
This problem happened after flashing Purity ROM.
When I make or receive a call, my screen goes blank and I cannot do,anything to wake the phone, unless the other party ends the call and then the screen may wake up if I touch the screen?!
Anyone else, please help.

Fixed mine by turning off developer options and then rebooting

Phone vibrates when I pick it up.

Well, as the title says, everytime I pick up my phone I feel a little vibration (and no, I don't have the "smart alert" thing turned on). I tried not to be worried about it but I can't not notice it. Any ideas?

May be you guys should try turning off the setting and restart, if that doesnt solve the problem go to recovery mode and clear cache. Let us know if any of that works.
On a side note: I have been facing weird ass issues with this phone just today my phone wont go to mute by using volume key while receiving a call. Like someone calls you and your phone is ringing, you just want to silence the ringtone you can use volume key (Press once), Flip the phone or put your palm over it (If you have the settings on). I tried multiple restarts and switched on and off the settings many times. It was fixed when i restarted my phone to download mode (This happened by mistake i wanted to go to recovery) anyhow that fixed it.

Also try clearing system cache in the boot menu.
If that doesn't get it, modify the appropriate notification setting, lol.
That can be a daunting task but sort of fun because you can streamline your notification settings as you do so.

There are apps that log notifications so you can just check the log and quickly determine what is causing the notification even if nothing is showing on-screen

If they catch it. Consider which sensors and operation triggers it, cause and effect, to narrow it down.
Playing with Android is fun... Android witch hunts are how you really learn about Android's gooey layer tricks.
Google searches on older Notes and parallel Samsung models can turn up answers many times.
This model is too recent; so not near as much online troubleshooting info. Google searches encompass threads on this forum as well so it can be a good way to find the needle in the Android stack. Do not time limit searches.
On my 10+ with it's baffling bt poor audio I found the answer with something written about the N9.
Many of these issues are long standing.
Samsung finally fixed the bt settings issue in a Wearables update. That took years.
Only persistence is omnipotent...

I figured that out by chance..
It's the edge-compass app
Just delete it from edge apps and it'll go away.. cheers

Well, I've checked all that and nothing, I don't even have the compass edge panel. But I think I'm able to replicate the issue, it mostly happens when my phone is face down on a surface and I pick it up and turn it to me, I don't have a case on it yet and I'm starting to think that it might have something to do with the edge screen but so far no luck

Use good lock. It has a module to detect vibrations and tell you what they are

Nice catch

Yeah, I installed it yesterday. But no vibrations are registered there so honestly I don't even know what to think now.
On the other hand when I switched from my note 10 plus I used smart switch, and now I'm thinking I should do a fresh start on my n20U.

Exactly check if you have Notistar from good lock switched on. That cache might need clearing.

I just go with it lol. I'm nutz. I'll feel my **** vibrate in my pocket when its sitting on the table. So I don't pay much mind to phantom vibrations. ???

It does suck some battery life though. It's one of the features I disable on my 10+ mostly because I find it annoying.
It's cool though how much you can customize notification behavior; one of the biggest reasons to go with Samsung is customization.
I play around with Settings a lot.. never crashed a load doing it. It's just occasionally gets time consuming to sort it out.
