[Q] Phone app, Contacts app rant
I love my SGS, hence i want to rant about it
Dialing from contacts, phone takes always one extra step than other phones.
if i already took the time to set defaults manually,
(1) why do i have to select the number to call again (contacts, solution could be viewing button on far right from the contact name) or
(2) when i use smart dial and am satisfied with first suggestion why do i have to select it then press call (phone app, if i want to call other suggestions they already show it separately in a drop down)?
after a month of using my sgs i still hold the phone to my ear and wait for a while, until i realize i hadn't pressed the green button.
(3) in contacts app i can search my friends by nickname, but ONLY IF i edited their nickname through contacts app, i.e. if it's imported from gmail and i never edited it on my phone it fails to find by nickname.
(4) smart dial is not so smart as it can't search by nickname, unless it's the only field for the contact in the phone's phonebook, huh? so i have to manually add new contacts to phone, then link them, for my closest people (phone app) if it's okay for a handful of people but starting from 20 i start cursing samsung app devs
(5) for my business contacts... it avoids searching by last name, what? (phone app)
then the editing, grouping etc... but since i don't add people daily i can make it work through other apps.
so are there solutions, that you know of, to these woes ?
1. I think the default number only applies outside the contact app (like a shortcut). But if you open it from contact it has to show you all the contact info (otherwise how else can dial the other numbers of that contact that is not the default??).
2. I think this is to cater for the 3G video call option.
3/4/5. It is kind of lame the phone app search only matches from beginning of name and not the entire string. (Hopefully new firmware can cater to this). Luckily the global search (i.e. long press menu key) matches everything. You may want to use this to find instead of opening the phone/contact app. It is much faster
In the contacts settings you can set the order to last name before first name, then you can search by last name.
If you want to call default number just flick the contact name right. Flick it left for message.

Hey thanks for the tip
was it in the manual? (which i never read for any device....)
Well thats just great.
I am seriously so fed up with Samsung its not even funny. I am never buying one of there products ever again.
I said that I would never buy another Samsung product after my last Samsung phone, the Instinct. That was by far the worst phone I have ever owned. I with I had have stuck to that promise.
Oh well. I guess I learned the wrong way.
I think I might just try to sell this pos for as much as I can get for it and buy an HTC Desire HD.
Piece of crap! Grrrrrrrrr
I have put up with this phones issues for months, thinking wait for froyo and see if it helps things. To my delight froyo just became available for o2 uk customers, so I quickly updated. I was like a child with a new toy...but now feel like its broke/lost!
Firstly firstly beaufiful widgets doesn't seen to work properly on froyo. But my main gripe is the new found super lag. I cant even type this message without the phone stuttering! Scrolling up and down in anything...it stutters...like wtf?
Whats my best bet? Hard reset? If so how do I do it? If I backup my contacts on kies will it restore to a factory rest phone?
Any advice is welcome!
Btw running JP3

backup your apps with titanium backup
factory reset
restore (only user apps and data, no system data)
Thanks for the reply. How do I actually factory reset? Can't find it in settings

I feel your pain.
Even going to JPO theres still lag, and the number of hacks that have to be done to get away from RFS and make the phone actually perform like it should is crazy.
I ended up defecting to an iPhone 4, but still have the SGS waiting for the day when its lag free and performing the way it should.
IMO the SGS "could" be way better than the iPhone, but it just needs Samsuck to pull the finger out.

I did the same and defected to iPhone 4. I will be selling my Galaxy S as I don't believe Samsung will resolve the issues. They have had plenty of time to do this already and nothing has happened. Even with the XDA Developers showing them the problems and coming up with solutions they still have a laggy phone whcih lacks in so many way's. Don't even get me started on Kies.
In the end I bought an iPhone 4 and iPad wifi. Using iTunes and everything is working correctly.
Do yourself a favour...........
No no, its a great phone
Just need to apply mods/hacks/roots etc to make it work apparently and when update comes out you undo it all then redo it all again and hope for best.
I think it would be a great phone if it didn't lag so much.

JP3 is sh*t. use another firmware
use doc's or darky's and wait for cm6.1 that'll surely be free from lags.
I will have to disagree. I got my galaxy s 3 months replacing iphone 3gs. It came with eclair 2.1 and it was perfect. I did the froyo update the day it came out with the reg hack and kept on getting freezes and force close. Did a factory reset and everything was fine. Did the new official update JPA with no reset and again perfect. The only program that lagged a little was email. Did the one click lag fix and now everything is smooth and fast. With over 50 apps i have no problems at all. My only gripe is that it should have more available ram and with flash on the browser stutters on flash heavy sites.
Apart from that i am very happy. By the way a get sattelite lock on my gps from a cold start in 30 seconds!

What most users are forgetting is when you upgrade the ROM from Eclair to Froyo you MUST perform a Factory Reset.
Doing so will eliminate a lot of the problems with current Apps.

lol this has happened a few times to ppl....just out luck
I figure it be a good place to try and list all the regressions in behavior we see in DK28.
can be used to list them / point out what changed and why its not really a regression, just have to change what we do.
I've noticed two things so far
1) Can't dial by last name in on screen keypad dialer, just first name. This is somewhat annoying (especially as my friends last names are more distinct than first names)
2) missing all my "other" calendars in calendar app. (i.e. I have facebook exported that way, along with holidays and some other stuff). Also doesn't let me select individual calendars that I want to list. I believe this might have a backup/restore issue. Just reset my phone and haven't restored anything from backup and have all my calendars.
This also seems to impact agenda widget. For some reason calltrack does work Part of me assumes I'm doing something wrong here.
Update:
Other regressions: (reported and verified by independent source)
3) Mediahub no longer works (requires you to update it from Market, but can't be found): noted: 12/5/2010 by jwhisl (Orbiting234: probably related to Market not recognizing DK28)
4) No way to prevent GPS data from being included in EXIF of Pictures if GPS is on: noted 12/5/2010 by styckx
One odd thing I noticed was with Dolphin browser. When holding the back button to bring up the exit menu it used to vibrate when it popped up. Now it does not. It still vibrated before I upgraded to froyo.
I know it is a little thing any meaningles but it threw my whole operating habits out of wack.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
I've noticed that the Mediahub application no longer works. When I launch the app it tells me to install an update then sends me to the market. Unfortunately the market cant find the download I need so I cant watch any of my purchased media. The phone is also telling me that the media type is not supported.
Installed dk28 via zip and hard reset device to fix audio, camera, and memory card issues
might anybody have the update in apk or zip format?
Ok, this one is pissing me off. It seems you can no longer disable gps data getting lumped into you camera pictures.
Becareful! Turn off gps entirely unless you want you photos exif data containing your location.

I can use 4G in NYC, though I do notice when I reboot the phone that a similar thing happens, I just attribute it to be doing to omuch processing.
Besides Media Hub update not being found in marketplace, Car Home and Desk Home apps are unable to be found in the market either. Will probably all be worked out once DK28 is properly recognized by the market for these particular apps.
anyone notice the auto complete isn't working and only recognizes names in the contact list?
It failed my test. Just like the previous leaks, last.fm skips and jitters when browsing the web and playing music at the same time. As a matter of fact, music skips any time I do anything thqat even moderately taxes the cpu. My Evo does fine under the same conitions. Why, Samsung, why?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I'm kind of hoping that this is still a beta version and not final cause it still has some flaws compared to ecclair. I made a thread in the Developement forum about the problems I am having with dk28.
Slow rotation
Slower frame rate on notification drop down
Browser choppiness and checker boarding
etc.
media hub is an exclusive samsung galaxy app
some of the dk25 roms have nexus one signatures in the build.prop that is why is doesn't show it

I downloaded the zip file last night when it was first posted on here. I had stock rom, changed the file name on my phone to update.zip, moved it to root folder, did the recovery and update. Everything is fine and I'm on froyo 2.2.1 now. I'm try to replicate the problems you guys are having, but I can't. The only problem I can replicate is the checkered box when zooming in and out. My hardware is .5 and I just bought the phone last month. I got my wifes at the same time and hers is doing just fine as well. Do you guys think that even though my hardware is .5 that there could be some differences in the phone since everything is still working better then 2.1 for me and my wife?

-swype sucks after update
-browser does not auto hide keyboard once completed text imput and window refreshes
-as noted, the geotagging data on the pictures cannot be prevented even with gps off
all of these, on top of an ugly messaging app have caused me to do a complete factory reset just to get rid of the issues. i never had problems with 2.1 so i guess i'll stick with it until the final release.

you're able to dial from the dialer with someone's last name?
i.e. You have a Friend Joe Smith, you press
7 (for s)
6 (for m)
4 (for i)
...
and you get your friend joe smith? I just have it matching first name.

Last name doesn't work. I have to do it by first as well. Very annoying if you have more than two friends with the same fist name. That's the only one I can replicate.

Check your Swype Settings. [Speed vs. Accuracy] may be tuned for speed. Slide it over to the right and it should work better.
After using this for 8hrs now. I've come to the conclusion this release sucks a bag of .....
Crappy keyboard lag, last.fm skipping, the captivate buttons responsiveness has changed (for the worse), delayed screen rotation, camera writing exif gps data unless you disable gps and wireless location.
Overall this just runs and feels like pure junk. I was never one demanding and frothing for 2.2 and I'm glad I have backups of my 2.1 install and will be going back to it. I liked 2.2 at first until I really got to feeling it out.
Sure GPS is fixed but they screwed up 10 things in its place.

+1 on this sentiment. I am not having any issues like this. Now this is not a regression, but I noticed that there is still the cell standby issue that requires airplane mode toggle. I find that glitch to be really frustrating.
Hello,
So over the past few weeks, Ive noticed some strange "flashing" on my evos screen. The only way I can describe it is when movie theaters do a changeover on reels, and you sometimes notice a quick burn mark, or flash when I take a screenshot of my evos phone...if that makes any sense...
Anyways, today I ran a file recovery program on my evo to recover some deleted photos. After the software finished pulling all images from my evos flash card I noticed there were many screenshots. Anything from google searches I ran, facebook pages, websites, etc. Pretty much random screenshots from my phone. I know for a fact I didnt take these screenshots, so what can explain these images that this software recovered? Some of these screenshots are anywhere between 1 day and 10 months old...since then I have tried out numerous roms so I would assume any spy program (maybe a girlfriend installed?) would have been deleted.
Any input is appreciated.
Maybe just cached images.

Also what recovery program is this? And I doubt its a spy app
nobody calls my EVO a fizzle and gets away with it!!
and where exactly did you find these screenshots?
That would be bookmarks saved to the sd card sort of like web history on your pc, nothing to worry about, my evo does the same thing.
Saves history in
.bookmark_thumb1 on sd card
and in
/data/data/com.android.browser
Just internet history cache images.

Lol no I don't actually. In stock Android builds it caches everything.
No spyware caches images on the phone or sd card, it remotes it to the server in and encrypted file to be reviewed later.

Some spy program like mobile spy can record text messages, visited websites and every activity on the phone. If you suspected that it may installed by your girlfriend, then talked about it with her. Don't distrust her if you have no evidence. Good luck.
Check this two most common hints:
1. Is your phone easily drained battery?
2. Does your phone connect to internet even if not used?
If these two is observed in your phone then you are under radar of someone who installed the spyware.
Do you even realize you're posting in a thread that's over a year old?

Hi
Use this thread to list bugs you have found in Stock Note ICS 'LPY' firmware, and work-arounds you have discovered for them.
Feel free to include bugs in Apps that don't work quite as intended in ICS but did work fine in GB.
Nigel
1) Facebook (uses ICS Sync Mechanism). Sync's ALL facebook friends and not just those already in contacts even when option to 'Sync with existing contacts' is selected. Result is a load of contacts with photo/name only where folks have not included contacts info in their FB profile. Solution is not to sync contacts with FB!! Not syncing means you don't get the contacts pics (the main reason why I want to sync). There are some 3rd party FB pic sync apps, but I have not tried any of these with ICS as yet.
2) Font size used for name of apps under icons for apps is bigger than in GB. This results in app names wrapping mid word where the same app name fitted on a single line in GB. This can result in the final 1 or more letters in the name of an app appearing on a second line under the icon. It looks ugly.
3) The 'Select Input Method' prompt appears as a notification under 'ongoing tasks' randomly.
Email widgets can fail to update, lose their assigned accounts and lose the option to switch accounts. The only fix for the first problem is to scroll rapidly down the email list to force an update, the assigned account can usually be reset on the widget, but occasionally the widgets get locked and have to be deleted and regenerated.
Also, not sure if this qualifies as a bug or change in behaviour, but the way audio output is dealt with when bluetooth audio devices disconnect has changed. Whereas in GB, switching off eg. a bluetooth headset would stop any streaming audio, with ICS the audio continues, but is switched to the Note speaker.
ICS is rather a large jump isn't it? We only have one build. You should make this specific to LPY if you want, but having it just be for ICS bugs isn't very specific or logical. It's like saying: Bugs for GB! That's A LOT of builds. If you want this thread to be useful, make it more specific.
Experiencing Random screen flickers and pixel salad. Resolves by resetting or lockscreen. Not sure if it's Kernel related like custom kernels experienced in GB roms i.e. franco kernel v9. pls help to shed light on this?

When the phone is connected to car dock and kept in horizontal position, if you recieve a call, the phone app force closes and you cant answer it.
Solution: Keep the phone in vertical position in the dock!!

Hi
I got this while playing with the face unlock stuff after the initial update. I did a hard reset to get shot of any left over junk, and have not re-enabled the face unlock, and have not seen the pixel-fest since. I suspect it was not using face unlock rather than the hard reset that sorted.
Nigel
Bugs I have found so far :
Phone does not connect to computer via KIES.
Many bugs using original car dock - phone app closes when dialing, calls dropped when using Bluetooth - I did not try vertical mode yet
Phone randomly stops entering deep sleep mode , BetterBatteryStats lists a kernel wakelock called : l2_hsic . This does not impact battery time by much, but still annoying
Phone randomly reboots while screen is off - but I had this in gingerbread too
In call log , when I clicked a number it used to show me all the times that number called, now it does not.
Sometimes the phone forgets the personal ring tone assigned to a contact and uses default ring tone
... that's all I can think of right now, the good side is the ROM is MUCH FASTER in touchwiz and other apps..

To those with sleep issues, have you tried full wipe then reinstall Apps? I had issues with not sleeping and battery life, but since hard resetting, thee phone sleeps fine. Its not as painful to do this with ics since it will auto reinstall apps. (Configure backup and restore in settings before reset). Its supposed to backup app configs as well, but I found this did not work (many apps have their own mechanism to backup their config)
Currently irritated to death by the random reboots while in sleep. Sometimes 18 hours apart... Sometimes 18 minutes apart.

On LPY stock but rooted.
By "Pixel salad" you mean multi coloured horizontal lines filling the screen up?
I got this when I woke my phone up and was about to unlock it (pattern lock) when I received a call...
I decided to swipe answer to see if it still functioned and it did...

having frequently used apps moved to SD card may cause random reboot. nothing to do with 'screen off' but worth checking.
I have no complaint about ICS except that the battery life is abysmal and the audio hiccup all the time.
I am currently on LPY. Wondering if you guys have the same issues. The audio hiccup is the most annoying. Don't know how to describe it. It's like music skipping while playing. It happened even on zPlayer and Poweramp so it's not stock music player dependent. At first I thought that my sd card is failing but when I tried to play it on my PC, all the music files played normal without any hiccups.
In my case I cannot use skype and I keep getting this error message "you cannot be signed in at this time. Please try again later". So far I have tried clearing app data, force closing, reinstalling and installing modded and older versions of skype and no luck still. Skype is running just fine on my laptop.
I am on rooted LPY.

I use "voice talk" when driving and often launch it by double clicking the home button. However I notice that every 2nd or 3rd time i launch it, the microphone doesn't respond (the blue concentric circles indicating sound don't move). Clicking done makes it ask to try again and the microphone works normally.

ICS is rather a large jump isn't it? We only have one build. You should make this specific to LPY if you want, but having it just be for ICS bugs isn't very specific or logical. It's like saying: Bugs for GB! That's A LOT of builds. If you want this thread to be useful, make it more specific.

He did make it specific....he said "stock Note ICS 'LPY' firmware". Did you not read his original post? Before you try to sound clever, read before you post!

Use the widget and adjust brightness to very low. Now Open stock browser and set there the brightness to automatic. Go to a app like Facebook, tapatalk and open a Page where you get directed to the browser to open it. Press home button now. Go to the widget and press synchronization button on or off doesn't matter now you will see the brightness button that was black to jump from alone to auto. I guess that's the automatization process of Samsung.

Hello. Well have this last update for our devices official from samsung. And I thought on helping samsung perfecting it. So in order to so that I think we should make this thread where we all together say wich are the bugs we found. I find already 2 bugs on the email app wich leads to a lot of wakeup calls, makes the phone use alot cpu and force closes when we touch on priority mail. There are other bugs wich people found here so I think we should list them.
Rules are simple, if you find a bug, report here and say how to replicate it. We together see it, and list here to report to samsung. Also suggestions to make things better. (of bugs or things you think that could be better)
Since they give us a ROM. At least a perfect well done one. What do you think? They need happy costumers. Or well go elsewhere.
Ps: if you can leave logcat, I'll leave on the email all log cats attached to each bug
List of bugs:
The Email app crashes when the general options, and priority email sections are accessed.
Buggy Microsoft Exchange integration. It seems to use an excessive amount of resources causing battery drain. This problem only seems to exist within the default Email app.
Smart stay not working properly.
Samsung keyboard's gesture typing is unable to properly detect and type the whole word.
Swype Keyboard won't automatically insert a space (I don't think this is a bug due to the text field being an address bar)
Sometimes, lock screen is unresponsive.
In the app drawer, when the apps are sorted alphabetically, then as downloaded apps it crashes Touchwiz Home.
In Car Mode, TalkBack is not functioning and is very unresponsive.
Google Maps and Samsung Push Services uses an excessive amount of battery when it is not used.
Throughout the OS, there are issues with stuttering and lack of responsiveness.
Wi-Fi connection often freezes after deep sleep of around 10 - 15 minutes ("Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" is set to "Always"). Wi-Fi notification icon shows that it's connected, but no data can be sent or received. (Only solution found so far is to manually disconnect and reconnect.)
In the camera, there is a reddish blemish on the center when the camera is used in low-light situations(I believe this is a hardware issue.)
Project Butter seems to be improperly implemented.
Unable to use the handwriting function on the Samsung Keyboard because it force closes.
Nasty color banding
After reboot , changes made in launcher menu will go back to how it was in begining (for example Folders created, disapear, or just the apps inside it, will be offside)
Suggestions list:
Music Controls (most members suggest this)
Lock screen more costumizable with possibility of more than three icons, something new I found ugly the way we unlucky the screen. (votes?)
Quick reply as cm has (i find this really useful, votes?)
Option to set if we want zoom in or zoom out option in the rear of the phone while browsing
in powermore , on the browser, instead of blue, an option to keep the white.
More sms before converting to mms, or if possible a manual option for that.
Lockscreen sometimes unresponsive, and the hand writing (?

Good idea!
Indeed, the dark grey notification bar seems not right.
Also, the lock screen doesn't always work...and music controls aren't there yet.
The screen stays on when you leave it on the table..it sometimes registers a face when it's not there.

This is not a bug. Use better battery stats to see what problem you have. I was able to get 6 hours of scree, time with standard battery
