After about one week’s usage, these are the bug’s I’ve run into.
Issues
Stays in USB-to-PC mode
Somehow, my phone won’t get out of this mode. In the notification area, it still asks if I want to connect the memory card, even though I disconnected the phone several hours ago.
Battery drain
Sure, using wifi does consume battery but it’s still worse than on my N900 with a 1.5 yrs old battery.
Folder menu doesn’t collapse after app start
When an application is started from a folder in the bottom “container” of the home screen, then that folder is still open when returning from the app.
Findings
A hardware button to lock orientation
Lying in bed or in a sun chair, having that Ipad lock on the side was really useful. I’d go with an easily accessible software switch, but going into settings to turn it on/off is too far away for my liking.
Services not restarted when requested
I accidentally killed a few services too many (when looking for performance killers) and suddenly bluetooth obex transfers stopped working, as well as all searches (both web and speech searching with google.com just stopped working, the browser showed up but didn’t do anything).
Translation is poor
One example: When Google voice search is analyzing the recorded sound, the top label says “Working” in English, and “Fungerar” in Swedish (“it works”).
Gmail is a separate application from e-mail
Why, oh why? I’ve yet to see the amazingness of this.
No unified communication out of the box
Why, oh why? I’d like:
- one stream of directed messages (incoming and outgoing – basically all conversation, texts/SMS, email, jabber, twitter DM etc …)
- one stream of social messages (facebook, twitter, RSS feed etc)
- one unified view of my communication with a contact (conversation and social stream separated probably)
Performance decrease with usage …
Starting apps gets slower and slower and slower and slower. Without noticeable change in available memory.
