Hi,
I installed v26 over the weekend and had some time to try and use it. I've
seen a few serious issues, and some improvements.
First, the good news:
* WiFi works - for the first time for me. The browser isn't terribly useful,
I'm afraid, but it's nice to at least have the phone connect properly. Nice!
* I was able to use my bluetooth headset to make and receive calls. That's
also a first for me. The UI is maddeningly confusing, I can never figure out
whether the headset works or not until I try it, but at least I can use the
headset, which is an improvement.
I noticed a few problems:
* The number one issue I'm seeing is power management. The phone doesn't
seem to switch to the correct power management profile when I unplug the
charger, resulting in it draining the battery in a couple of hours. This is
a significant problem for me since I usually grab it, unplug the charger,
and leave the house in a hurry before my brain is fully engaged and
functional in the morning, so workarounds like going into the power
management screen and out of it to apply the correct settings aren't really
an option for me. :)
* GPS doesn't work. The longest I left it running to try and get lock was 20
minutes - no luck with that. What should I look at?
* The software has an ongoing problem processing T-Mobile's (USA) text
messages that are sent when calling voice mail. A message from "129" is
delivered as soon as I call voice mail, and the software insists on
displaying a dialog right away. The stacking order for dialogs appears to be
arbitrary, sometime making it impossible to dismiss the dialog while in the
dialer with the numeric pad active. This can make it impossible to use the
voice mail voice prompts. Ideally, the messages should be filtered and not
delivered to the text message inbox at all - instead, they should be used to
flip an indicator in the UI that voice mail is available.
* The UI crashes when I play with the BT headset too much - pressing the
headset's button a few times reliably crashes the UI, resulting in a black
console screen with a few garbage characters in the corner. The UI restarts,
eventually, but it takes a couple of minutes during which the phone is
effectively dead.
Any pointers on where to start fixing some of these would be appreciated.
Thanks,
