Rogers Android Froyo 2.2 bugs

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.

Anyone noticing that it's very glitchy and not smooth?

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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=907854

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.

Update QF3 available for sprint 7/5/17

new update available. says "security , new device features " , its the android june security patch and possibly a new feature
If your using the no root hotspot it still works through update!!
It installs weird too after rebooting it restarts then the screen will black out and say "installing applications"
then it will say software is custom until the update notification at the top stops. even though it already popped up a toast that said successfully upgraded yet that still has to fill up (in the notification) then it all goes to normal seems smoother than ever

I am applying it right now, will follow up if I run across any issues.

Thanks. So there is more than just security patch in it at that size.

All I know is the last update(not this one) broke my phone, My system app crashed randomly, vibration would continue to vibrate after calls were answered, very slow response and frequent random resets. Notifications would either not appear or not disappear. One time I lost all my home screen apps. The problems were so severe I decided to upgrade to the S8.
After this update my phone runs like new.... too bad I already decided to buy the new S8.... although my 'excuse' for needing it apparently has been fixed by this update, Now I just want the S8.

yeah mines running smooth as butter. Just a note if you have that problem again (vibration etc) go into Stock recovery and clear cache it fixes it

Has anyone taken the Pie Update?

Has anyone taken the Pie update? I am curious if there are any problems/bugs, or if everything is running smoothly. My wife mentioned she is getting the update notification - I said I would look into it before she accepts but so far have found nothing about it.
Thanks!

Yes. Dont do it. Since updating to pie it kills background apps. So whatsapp messages dont come through unless you open the app.

There's no setting to select what gets killed or not? Or to turn off the feature for that matter?

Yes, I update the Nokia 3.1 TA-1057 model to Android pie. It is working really well. The battery life has increased exponentially with adaptive battery enabled. Battery used to drop >10% overnight on standby. It drops about 1 or 2% now. Even during the day the phone hardly losses any charge. Haven't come across any issues with the pie update. Phone call, texts, navigation and camera all work really well. Camera has done added features with the update. I've been very impressed that the software has made such a dramatic change to the phone.

I'd suggest you don't update. As #2 mentioned, it stops background processes in the name of Battery. Another issue my colleague and I have is an SD Card Error. The SD Card is unable to be written to via the phone, but works perfectly when put into a PC. A9 also adds a google search bar at the bottom of the stock home screen which takes up a bit of real-estate but is easy to get used to.
I wouldn't recommend it, but i'm pretty sure that if you don't update, you will not get security updates.

Question November update is bug fest

Hello everyone,
My Pixel 7 Pro experience has been so far smooth ride but since I received November update it is definitely more buggy, than it was. From time to time I get freezed screen (only something works, like pulling notification tab, but nothing else) and I have to restart device. Camera app opened from lock screen often closes itself when tapping shutter button. Do you also have this kind of behaviour? No root, no mod, no nothing, everything stock.
Plus additional bonus from A13 feature. Replying to messages in landscape mode is just dumb. Can't see what I'm writing. Can't press send button.

I don't have these bugs and yeah, landscape mode has never been ideal for a lot of things. This isn't new.

Before update I had only minor bugs like invisible watch widget or invisible spotify in notifications. But since update it got much worse and I have to regularly restart device.

I too haven't been experiencing anything out of the ordinary, and like Ethereal said... Landscape is always so and so but I was able to scroll the uhm... reply box? Notification?
I don't know when, but Google used to do a full screen text box for landscape text but seems to have gotten rid of it, maybe you're intended to scroll what you want to see?

No problems on my end. In fact, it's only gotten better (especially the signal quality) on the November update.

Yes experience frozen screen code of times.

Updated my phone to November patch 3-4 days back, not had any of these issues. Has been just as stable as October for me.

I guess you can scroll but it doesn't make sense when there is a lot of unused space above. It just looks unfinished.

It doesn't happen everyday. But it already happened in the morning. I woke up, took the phone and home screen was frozen. I couldn't swipe or open anything. Only notification tab was working. Had to restart the phone. I have to restart the phone like every two days. Definitely expected more from clean Android. MIUI had much more features and wasn't as buggy as this.

No issues here on the nov update either, if anything its an improvement over the oct update. I'm really looking forward to the dec update though, that should really improve things.

I think the point might be it's unrelated to the update.

Mine has been super stable with the November update - zero issues actually, which is rare for me.

Well, I do have errors since the last update:
The phone does not wake up after a long time without being used. It does not work double tap on screen, or change the position of the phone. I have to press the power button to wake up.
On one occasion the lock screen was hung with the semi-lit fingerprint sensor, but pressing the power button was solved.
Of course, the previous update was much better.

Indeed, it might be, it might not, I'm not suggesting it definitely isn't at fault.
However, where it didn't happen for you prior to the update, it hasn't happened to myself and many others (most others?) either before or after. This suggests the update being the cause is no certainty, contrary to the thread title, rather that it is something being assumed by virtue of the fact it's a change that has taken place.

Yeah in theory, but in reality it is hit and miss month on month. In saying that it has been far smoother than the Pixel 6 series

Only issue I've had is text box randomly not popping up with keyboard in Messages and Chrome input boxes. So input field stays hidden underneath Gboard. But I was having this issue in last update too

also i've noticed the Level tool in the camera now is tilted about 4° to the right, so i had to disable it.

My Status Bar Clock is missing since the update. :l

Question Has anyone installed android 14 beta on google pixel 7 pro

what problems do you have, if any, and is it worth installing?

Its not worth it! It's a buggy mess right now I would wait for beta 2. Just look on reddit and you'll see all the problems it has.

Only bug I've seen is the modem. I'm on wifi most of the time anyway, but the signal strength
isn't as good.
Oh, I did have another bug. The app bluemail was crashing when it opened it. Emailed the
failure report to google & the app developer. Less than 24 hours later the app developer
sent me a link with an updated beta app that fixed it.

It is the biggest bug party I have ever seen.
Couple bugs that happen to me currently:
- Online banking app no longer works.
- Home screen is just glitching and all apps disappear.
- a lot of Status Bar Symbols missing/ or glichting
- Screen can't be opened with fingerprint sensor, for whatever reason.
- And yes, many apps are not updated for Android 14 yet.

Wallpaper and style not working/crashing here and sometimes a bit lag. The rest of the problems mentioned here not on my 7 Pro. Fingerprint, modem, all 102 apps (some are new betas), including banking app are working without any problem. Provider: T-Mobile
Before you enrol:​The updates that you’ll receive as a part of the beta programme are pre-release versions and may contain errors and defects that can affect the normal functioning of your device.

So be careful and make a wise decision

In addition, dark mode will not stay on; you'll have to toggle it once an hour or so. I would say it's an Alpha.

Probably I must be the lucky one that everything is going well! Battery for me seems longer and it doesn't warm anymore when watching videos or dimming my screen as during A13 Qpr... the only issue so far for me is the usb-c audio not working.

Maybe i'm lucky too, but i'm having no issues other than when i sometimes go to compose a new sms, the app (google messages) freezes and causes system wide freeze until i lock the screen with power button and then it's back. Hardly ever send sms these days anyway. no biggy

Installed the 14 beta. Not faced any problems so far, apart from "com.android.qns" crashing every time I boot the device. But it does not affect the cellular connection.
Battery OK, no other app crashes.
