Its a wee bit buggy innit!? Shall we start a list?

Hello fellow guinea pigs !
I've been waiting ages for thgis phone and i'm preparred to work through the issues rather than send it back. I've noticed it has a few more bugs than my garden shed. Maybe we can list them and togerther suss out if we can overcome them.
1. Won't update/seach or tweet via the twitter app, autocollect email or load facebook pages via 3G. Works fine via wifi though. Updates weather and internet browing is fine on both though.
UPDATE works fine with a T-Mobile sim. Must be a Vodafone issue.
2. Can only update lockscreen background from YOURE pictures, not the HTC background folder. Despite the default being from the HTC File.
there was another, forgot, i'll come back. i've got a few bugs too!

What version of android are you running?
Mine has none of thos bugs all the problem you said are working fine for me.
I don't know if this is correct but my software version is: 1.0.0.A6288 (if that makes sense)

1. No IMAP folder prefix option in mail - well none that I can find!
2. All the custom bookmarks I save are saved with a zoomed in screenshot so they all look stupid on the thumbnail view.

How's everyone's "people" facebook integration?
It has the potential to be so amazing and yet at the moment it seems to be a bit on and off. Just had a scare after sync 100+ contacts doing the "link facebook profile" as all the pictures disappeared.
When you click update I not really sure what it does but it takes forever!
Hopefully fixed by software updates :S?

I know it has a few problems right now, but give the phone a chance, HTC are working on a lot of the initial bugs and I'm sure they'll provide a software update to resolve these issues.

biggest prob ive found is when on a call the screen goes black
now wot button do you press to wake the phone up ? oh the ------- yep you got it no more phone call so how do you wake up the screen while on a call ?

Yeah the disappearing Facebook pictures is really annoying, they disappear in batches though... Each picture persists for about 24 hours before disappearing... Very weird behaviour. You can then re-add them by editing the contact and reapplying their picture "from facebook".
I will be REALLY peeved if they don't fix this in an update... (and soon!!) -- can we just try and determine exactly how many people are experiencing this issue (i.e. is it everyone?) -- and is it just me or does the People list scroll really poorly...? Very jerky, not at all smooth like some of the other lists.
And to add to your bugs -- I have found the "manage applications" to take AGES to load (much of the time) i.e. longest is in excess of 30 seconds, quickest is 3-4 seconds, not quite sure why, as my brother has a Magic and it loads in ~2 secs every time...

Sound's like my wife's problem... If you're on TMob, get them to test your Internet Plus provisioning. I had no such problem on mine...

Seen one or two glitches, but nothing I can pin down yet!

I LOVE this phone.
One annoyance: When looking through facebook photos via "Albums" you can do anything other than share a link via email, having a save as or set as button would be awesome!

Pressing and holding the home button to bring up the list of running programs removes the home button association to the senseUI. When you next press the home button it asks whether you want touchflo3d or standard android home.

I've had my Hero for 36 hours now, and this is one of the more noticable bugs I've come across so far - highly irritating, as I'm used to using the Home button long-press a lot...

same here.

Found another problem with the HTC mail app...
1. Regardless of what username I put in the smtp setup screen, after it validates the settings it changes the username to my pop username and password so I can't send email - baring in mind I get no sort of error messages very poor!
My word does the mail app need some more time in the oven, considering its just based of the standard Google e-mail app which has none of these setup problems. All they seem to have done is make - let's face it - an already poor app worse!

yer me neither. I didn't know you could hold down home to view that though. Is a good addition! and can always keep Taskiller running so easy to properly quit apps.
hopefully the first firmware update will solve all these issues .
Anyone have the issue where on the homescreen, with the HTC music and calender widget, whenever i paused on a particular screen with them on, the white text would be there for about 2 seconds, then disappear...?
Very odd. Although a soft reset seemed to solve it.
O one more thing, I LOVE the capacitive screen, the keyboard has really been worked on. (would be nice to have a proper " ? ") button though always find myself holding down k to get that which slows down typing time.

Weirdly I can't seem to set the screen brightness! Its greyed out in the display options. When I hook it up to adb on my PC I see lots of "ERROR/HardwareService(60): GetPreferredValue (settings.display.brightness, 102) failed!" messages.
EDIT: I have an unlocked white one BTW

Have you ticked the box directly above it called 'Disable auto backlight'?
once this is ticked, you should be able to manually set the brightness.
And i can't get the home bug to occur either. brown sim free running 1.76.405.6

List of bugs found in Froyo, please add them here

Please put all the bugs you have found in Froyo in this thread and eventually this can be forwarded to HTC.
Edit: the push functionality seems to be working to some capacity.
- Crash/force close -
Internet Browser
*Issue: When selecting accept all plugins in the settings for the stock browser it will force close on execution
**Work around/solution: Select to clear all data in the application settings for the browser
- Loss of functionality -
Email App/Widget
*Issue: Push email not working as before. The email will sometimes fail to sync (when other mail clients can sync) and push communications is sometimes only one way (phone to webmail)
- Non-verified bugs/issues -
Google Earth
*Issue: Google Earth App not available on market

I am expiriencing a very bad performance of SenseUI after upgrading to froyo. Everything is slower than it was before?

very bad performance if I use live wallpapers.
thats all for now^^

The browser has a few issues - when a page is still loading, there is a refresh button instead of a stop button, and copy and paste is very buggy.

I think it would be best if users post what ROM they're using...
But back on topic: Sometimes my sense restarts with no error report/popup whatsoever...

All my alarms were resetted... Could be just my phone, I dunno, but quite annoying if I hadn't noticed

All my alarms where reset aswell....but that's not a big problem to me. What is, is that also my entire agenda/calendar was wiped. :/
And it does seem froyo is loading stuff (like picture preview tiles, app lists, setting menus, the folder list in 'Pictures' app, etc.) a lot slower then eclair. And I'm not even running an animated wallpaper.

Let's go!
- Although Froyo is way faster for everthing, sometimes (i mean often!) my phone starts to slow down and i've unfortunately to reboot my phone..
- The music app has become resistant to task killers (at least on my phone). Probably like a bacteria to antibiotics??
Some surprises:
- Fonts are more beatiful to read, especially the text under icons (that striked me when I just updated)
-My greys are not pinkish anymore!!!
- Fonts on the SMS app are a bit bigger and it's really better (but the textfield is not as beautiful as before), and we have photos like on handcent on the conversations list.
I will not list everthing because there is a topic on the desire forums but i hadn't read that.

As I have mentioned in my thread everything works fine for me howeverwhen called or trying to call the other side does not hear my voice

same here its slower then before...also app drawer is laggy.

Try removing the live backgrounds, it works like a charm without it.

Go around the loss of push email by installing a non HTC phone's mail.apk.
I have the 2.1 Milestone and it works beautifully.
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App

Im running the de-branded UK Vodafone Froyo ROM and honestly have to say there are no issues with speed at all. Even with live wallpapers running, all homescreens remain fast and smooth, as does the app drawer.
I did do a fresh install however with a full wipe, I then used TitaniumBackup to restore alarms, SMS messages, etc when done

Did not wipe or factory reset, just installed froyo. Everything works fine. No speed issues, my weather started working correct again, push mail works fine. And after living with sms bug for one whole day, i'm very happy to say it's gone... So suprisingly nothing to complain about yet.

New day, new bugs.
- Loss of functionality -
Wifi Connection
*Issue: An active wifi connection will stop working properly if the phone has been in sleep mode for some time. The wifi connection symbol will still be displayed (and always at the same level of reception (in my case full)) and the email clients will not warn of lack of connection and instead try to sync for ever.
**Work around/solution: Change wifi policy settings in settings - wifi - menu button - advanced from 15 minutes to something else. This might work to some extent, otherwise solution is to disable and re-enable wifi connection.

Hi, one annoying detail after updating: my 'Gmail Unread Count' widget has suddenly started to launch the Gmail app opening the most recent message, instead of opening the inbox.
When I launch Gmail directly from the apps list, it opens the inbox as it should. 'Course this issue is not related to Froyo, but I imagine I'm not the only one dependent on the 'Unread Count' widget. Anyone experiencing the same?

I'm experiencing extreme performance degradation after the upgrade to Froyo!
I'm running an unbranded HTC Legend, stock rom, upgraded via Systems Software Updates OTA, I'm running ADW and Handscent. Other that that, it's stock. (3.15.405.3)
People are complaining that they can't hear me properly! This is the biggest concern I have so far!
Switching between Home Screens is slower, it hangs and it's less responsive. (Swipe, hangs for a second, then moves)
Using the back button to exit apps is very VERY slow. (Handscent is almost unusable)
Opening apps is slower. When pressing app, it zoom towards the screen faster, but hangs afterwards.
Scrolling in almost every app/widget is slow and lags!!!!!!
Entering the lock screen pattern is very slow
Scrolling the app drawer is very slow
It appears it's mostly a scrolling issue?
Another thing is that lock screen does not always work. The screen goes off and when I enable it again, I get right to the first home screen. Ie. no lock pattern. (FOUND IT : It now says "lock screen after 5 minutes"....so I set it to immediately.)
Also using "Gmail Unread Count" widget goes straight to first message, not the inbox. Does not matter if the message is already read.

Try going into the WiFi settings, then press the menu button and choose advanced. You will find WiFi sleep options in here. Choose the second or third option as you see fit. I've not tested it but I think it may solve your problem.

I experienced the slowness briefly, but after rebooting a couple of times it seems fine - if anything actually much faster! Not sure what exactly is causing the problem though...

Bugs in OTA 2.3.3 for Desire Z - add yours

While generally being quite happy with the Gingerbread update for my Desire Z, clearly there are a few glitches.
First of all, my DZ is a Nordic version with the characters Æ, Ø, Å, Ä and Ö on the hardware keyboard.
On 2.2 before the OTA there was a bug which consistently caused capitalization of Æ, Ø and Å (æøå) when using the hardware keyboard. I don't know about Ä and Ö which are only used in Swedish and not in Danish and Norwegian.
This bug is now fixed using the native keyboard but still present using Scandinavian Keyboard which I have installed from Market. I must admit that I have not contacted the developer to ask if this could be a bug in the app.
Sadly, I have now experienced another bug related to the hardware keyboard after updating to 2.3 - today it happened for the second time.
When typing in Whatsapp and the SMS app (and possibly other apps) using the hardware keyboard pressing "S" will open the SMS app, pressing "G" will open Gmail and pressing "B" will open the built-in browser (not Dolphin HD which is set to default). This is fixed by a reboot (temporarily, it seems). Incidentally, the bug disappeared just now without a reboot while checking if it was also present in Gmail.
The missing pictures bug in HTC's gallery app is still there - still using QuickPic.
Anything that is not listed here - please add to the thread.
EDIT:
As many others I also get the constant Sense restarting thing which is driving me insane!
Also the brightness setting itself to maximum many times.
A handful random reboots. A couple happened with no apps open and doing nothing on the phone - I just happened to notice when it rebooted.
Since monomer888's advise I haven't had another shortcut typing bug happen (as of yet). Thanks!
I'm running software version 2.42.405.2 CL84109

Have had this happen to me before. Fix it by doing this:

Also [..] restart just to be on the safe side.

No guarantees but it might work.

My phone doesn't show album art in the music player, and it still doesn't work after several restarts, and dismounting and mounting sd card. Hope it gets fixed soon

- when exit from a fullscrren app, sometimes the status bar doesnt fit all screen, leting a space (about 10% of the screen space). Expanding the status bar fix it
- Portuguese translation erros remains from the first rom 1.34!!!!!:
Call volume is "Volume de ligação recebida" - shuold be "Volume da ligação"
The tips widget is "Dicar", should be "Dicas"
And a few others, that I don't remember now.

I've only seen some minor UI bugs and most recently, the capital letters typing a text message. That only happens when I try to type too quickly after opening the thread.
I must admit that I havent seen the gallery bug yet but then I don't really use the camera.
Might be worth posting your version number to track regional bugs.
Mine is 2.42.405.2

Brightness will be stuck at max waking from sleep sometimes. Brightness slider has no effect. Fixes itself if you sleep then wake again.

Playback of videos not taken with the camera is very stuttery. THis wasn't the case in 2.2.

I had the missing gallery pictures problem and the brightness problem as well-I have it normally on auto-bright, but sometimes when I wake it or reboot it, it automatically changes to full brightness and I have to select auto-bright again.
Also, Sense restarts after almost anything.

After installing, deleting or moving an app, returning to the home makes sense crash and restart.
I have a gallery bug aswell, can click on some line with pic and wording not shown.
I had once a bug in the unlock pin screen, tapping 7 was actually hitting 4, same if I hold on 7, i see the pressed status of the 4 button onscreen. It happened when i had no charge at all and plugged the phone to the usb port of my running pc. It was also impossible to switch on the phone, i had to plug it out.
Can't remember more right now.

I was wondering if anyone had noticed if there is still this bug or if you could test to check for me:
Start an app in portrait mode, slide out the keyboard for landscape mode, hit the home key. Do your apps/widgets load right away or within a couple seconds? For me it has always been that it will take 15-20 seconds for the screen to load, all I will see is the status bar and my background, no loading screen, no errors, nothing but that. Let me know if you had this prior to updating and also if you have it after, thanks!

ME TOO!

I've experienced these as well. Funny thing is, I only experience the 10% bug in Facebook app.

Besides that "desktop loader" and sense-crash problem I got some strange issue with my mobile data connection - searched the forum for a while, haven't found anything, so I'll report it as a gingerbread bug.
Sense displays an activated connection all the time (3g/H - with those two little arrows flashing, thus indicating some traffic) but, unfortunately totally random, it decides to stop working.
Only way to check the data connection is browsing google. Turning off/on fixes the problem temporarily.
In addition, the speed of my mobile connection seem to be capped at some point - typically, depending on my location, it'll stick with 3G instead of H until I reboot. (noticed a remarkable speed difference by browsing the web before and after reboot)
Anyone similar problems?
Desire Z - 2.3.3 Stock

@Kueber;
While i've only seen the sense reload when my phone is uunder a lot of CPU load, I have seen it.
Regarding the data issue, i've only seen it with a certain app, "London Journey" This would retrieve some downloads, but not others. Maybe its a change in the data API relating to the new Download API. Using any other app was fine.
In maybe a slightly related issue, I've noticed that when in GPRS or EDGE, its much more reluctant to go to HSPA, especially when the H signal is low. However, this would normally just drop straight back to G / E anyway so is an improvement in my mind. It also seems quicker to see the HSPA connection has been lost and goes to G / E.
In your case, if location determins 3G rather than H, it could indicate you mobile provider may not have upgraded all their sites yet. If it passes data, then its stuck at 3G.

Hey there, thanks for your answer.
The strange thing is that my previous phone (HTC Legend) always displays a HSDPA connection (speaking of my hometown as testing area). My Desire Z also states a H connection until it get capped somehow. Then I reboot and the little H is back. It is definitely not a display bug, since the speed difference, as already mentioned earlier, is noticeable after rebooting.
Is there some kind of a "user control" in areas that aren't fully covered by a mobile provider, so that my connection may drop due to non using the phone? (It happens normally while phone is sleeping) And is it possible that my Legend, 2.2 stock btw, just isn't very accurate when it comes down to displaying the current connection speed? - to mention your point of a quicker HSDPA loss on gingerbread.
greetings

I also have the Sense constantly restarting. It is really, really, REALLY annoying!
It happens about 50% of the times when I return to the home screen from any app, even the browser.
Has any of you tried uninstalling the Gingerbread update? Don't even know if it is possible, though.

beside the above bugs. the missing pictures bugs also affects my sound files. i can't change my ringtone or alarm tone. it will change back to the default ringtone every few hrs as the sound files went missing on my sd card. has to do a sdrescan to get it back. but few hrs later it will go missing again & ringtone either be empty or back to default.

I've had the exact same bugs as described above, it drove me insane.

has anyone tried to contact HTC about these bugs? I myself was too lazy to write an email..

so nobody know what is the problem? maybe phone soft is not good or is just facebook app?!

I have the exact same problem. When using back button to exit facebook, wallpaper bounces for a sec, but when using home button that doesn't happen. I tried reinstalling facebook, but id didn't help. I had 2 S8+ software updates, and facebook app updates but problem persists.
If anyone knows how to fix this small annoying issue, you're welcome to help.
Best regards

ERMGH...is called live Wallpaper???

Same problem here. It's bad enough that when pressing back, you have to wait for the timeline to scroll all the way back to the top, before you can press back again to exit, then you have to watch the wallpaper quickly zoom in and out.
Funnily enough, my Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 rotates the screen after using Facebook in landscape mode, so it's definitely Facebook having some form of issue with Samsung phones.

Same problem
Must be a laggy animation

no is not live wallpaper is just when pressing back arrow to exit facebook, the background is like moving in and out really fast looks like half second lag something like that.
I had many facebook updates but still not fixed..hopefuly somebody can sort it out for us..i just pray to don`t be a bug in the phone or problem with the soft...

i see
did anyone else noticed that Facebook trends are now showing up in Bixby feed?

Happens to me as well, and I'm using Nova Launcher

same here on Nova launcher with Starfield live wallpaper. looks like the app is running in a different resolution and the wallpaper has to resize... maybe it's something to do with the way the app expands to the weird aspect ratio of the s8...

Any update regarding this problem? Here are the things I've tried - Cache Partition Wiped, Full Factory Reset, Tried All screen resolutions, Increased speed of exit animations. thru the developers menu. But the problem still remains. The screen bounces when you exit the facebook app by pressing the back button. It exits normally if you press the home button.
Another weird thing, if you clear the cache/data from app settings, the facebook app exits normally if you press the back button (when you're not logged on to fb). But, as soon as you login to facebook the problem reappears.
Samsung service centre reflashed the firmware of the phone but the problem is still there. They wont replace the device because the app is third party (albeit comes preinstalled).
Any help would be highly appreciated. It's starting to annoy me.

maybe somebody can report this straight to Samsung...I`ve done it but they say is about facebook to fix it.I report to facebook and they say can`t fix everybody`s problem but only major bugs.
so please everybody report the problem to facebook and to samsung and maybe they release an update

I have the same problem ..hope they will fix it
PS. To rezolve the problem go and set the animation to 0 in developer setings..this work for me..

this is called motion effect for wallpaper!

Never noticed this "problem" before. But I tested this out just now and it didn't happen. Then I thought maybe it's because my Facebook app icon is in a folder and not on the homescreen. So I tried moving it to the homescreen and it started happening to me too. Moved it back to the folder and nothing.
So... I guess this is a workaround for the people that are experiencing this issue.

So I am experiencing the same bugs. I have recorded the glitch on my S8+ and sent Samsung the YouTube link:
The told me to contact Facebook instead.
However, you can see what's actually happening with the video. When closing any app there is a zoom-out effect. Facebook however appears to be using a slide effect instead. When this is done the phone does the zoom-out anyway -- and that's the glitch.

There is still no solution for the annoying glitch. Does anyone else experience this issue?

My GS8+ received update AQG5 today, this appears to resolve the glitch :fingers-crossed:

Cursor and Dialog Box icons glitch faulty incorrect

Hi Everyone,
Recently my phone was updated to Android v7 and since then I noticed that the icons for the cursor in text boxes and system dialog boxes have got messed up.
I read on Android central, one user posted that uninstalling Kaspersky fixed the issue, although in my case I don't have Kaspersky, so I can't go about uninstalling all apps, got a hell lot of them!

It's frustrating everytime i see this... Please help me...

I think I'm having a similar issue... the cursor locator (below the cursor which points to it) is the wrong size. I tried changing resolutions, nothing fixed it. This also happens when text is selected by long pressing, the selector graphics are too large and it gets cut off. It was working fine when phone was new, I cannot remember at which point it started messing up. Possibly after Oculus VR first changed the screen resolution to WQHD? I set it back to FHD for normal use, but problem persists.
Pertinent Info:

G930FXXU1DQD7 BTU firmware
phone not rooted

Maybe found a clue.... this problem seems to occur everywhere, except in a few apps, namely Signal and FB Messenger and FB itself. I thought it might be only in Gapps, but it happens in a few apps that are not part of Gapps. I have seen other people had issues with the little on/off sliders for options in different menu screens under setting, but mine all look fine.

I have those glitches as well apart from what i posted.
I read online its because of some app messing things up. I seriously don't want to reset and start testing this out one app at a time. It will take at least a few days to get back up to speed.
Thanks :crying:
