Issues with 2.1...

Sorry in advance if these have already been pointed out and/or fixed.
I'm aware that this is a leaked beta but i'm having some strange issues.
Mainly being the market not downloading apps. I can browse the internet, browse the market, but nothing will download.
Anyone know of a way to fix this?
Also, i was quite disappointed with the fact that they did next to nothing to the absolutely terrible camera. The shutter speed appears to have improved *slightly* but pictures are still far too sharp and over saturated.
On the other hand, i do like the 720p filming
Another thing i noticed is that interacting with the live wallpapers is way off. When you press the 'Nexus' live wallpaper, the actual 'hit' is almost an inch out. Not a huge deal, just something that's annoying me.
On the plus side, the live wallpapers are incredibly smooth. A lot smoother than on my Nexus, god knows how dell managed that!
But my main hate, the one that annoys me to no end, is that you can now only have 6 icons in landscape. Wtf was the point in that dell? You took the best thing about this phone and made it worse!
Apart from alllll those things, i'm absolutely loving the 2.1 update (especially the dialler) but because of the above mentioned things i'm getting tempted to go back to 1.6. I need to download things dammit!

Another 2 issues that bothered me were the crap keyboard which is VERY slow and if you rush it you get mistypes, sometimes I have to press the same button twice as it did nothing the first time and I get a spelling mistake in every word, the keyboard is messed up.
Anyway to get the superior keyboard from the previous 1.6 with the lovely numpad?
Secondly, there are some problems with the wallpaper/homescreens. There is no way to add or remove them, seems I'm stuck with 6.
I tried to set a simple wallpaper on say screen one and it stretches right outside the screen and fills all 6 screens up, why??!!
I am using the same wallpapers before that are specially for the streak and are set at 800X480 and it stretches one pic across all screeens and it looks distorted, why?
Before I upgraded, I could go to screen one, put a wallpaper, it would fit fine and only in one screen, not fill the other ones too.
Can ANYONE think why this is or even a fix to this problem?
At the moment I have more problems with 2.1 than 1.6...

Glad to see I'm not the only one with these issues. I can't stand the new keyboard, driving me mad but I'll survive. I don't like the new layout of the icons and the fact you can no longer have multiple backgrounds is a shame. Also I've noticed certain widgets just won't sit in the centre of the home screens any more.
I'm hoping because this is a leak that Dell haven't added their personal touches yet and that this will come when they go official otherwise I'll be a sad panda!

Yeah, I guess we have to stick with what we have until it's officially released.
At least we have SOME improvements...

The portions you mention I have not had. It sounds like you have a few issues with your install.
With regards to we everthing else, 2.1 ain't perfect but its a tonne better than the 1.6

Of course by portions I mean problems....the swype keyboard although better its still far from perfect

These issues may go away when the final 2.1 is released

Hi Meltus
If your Google E-Mail account is Googlemail change it to gmail by logging in through your computer and use the option to change it to a gmail address and that has fixed the Market problems for me and some others hope it works for you.

Any one else having issues that when talking on the phone with headphones in if you press the lock button it hangs up the call? Found something that drives me even more mad than the keyboard lol.

Not sure what I am doing wrong , but I can't seem to use any 3rd party keyboards ? They install OK , I can select them , but then when I go to use them , the Dell one pops up. (Any ideas ? )
The only issue I noticed , is that the Sleep/wake button stops working properly occasionally , instead of putting the device to sleep , it dims the screen , but the screen stays on ,
Not sure what is going on here , I think the phone may "think" its asleep , as the live wallpaper stops moving , but the screen is definately still awake.
The only way out is to reboot by taking the battery cover off !

Seems an isolated problem I don't have any problem downloading just that some games wont work - more importantly launcherpro looks very strange with tiny icons! Spread a across the screen with Hugh gaps.

i have had EVERY issue above! its beta so im not going to complain but i just hope its much better once the ota arrives

However, I do believe if you change to Gmail from Googlemaill, any apps you bought with your Googlemail account are NOT carried over.
Hence you have to purchase again, this is why I haven't made the switch yet, until that issue is resolved I will be staying as Googlemail.

Exactly the same problem here.
And to change keyboards, you select it and long press a text box (like in messages) then you pick the keyboard you want from there.
Anyway, i fixed my market problem by changing my e-mail from 'googlemail' to 'gmail' (thanks doggman) and then wiping the phone. Not sure which made it work, or whether it was a combination of both, but it's working good now

Issues I've noticed so far: (Maybe nitpicking but I'm comparing it to all my other Androids)
- Live Wallpaper could be smoother. It's pretty smooth but on such a large screen, little glitches are very noticeable.
- Though the keyboard is a lot more comfortable to use without the numpad throwing the right thumb off, the responsiveness is gone from the previous keyboard. But I'm sticking with it cause its alot better looking than 'Better Keyboard' or 'Smart Keyboard'
- No pinch-to-zoom on pictures in the gallery...very disappointing
- Pinch-to-zoom for maps is there, but responsiveness needs work. Almost as bad as Blackberry Torch's pinch-to-zoom. HAHAHA
- Photos seem more saturated than when it was running 1.6. Even affects photos when being used as 'Picture Frame' widget.
- Aside from the saturation of pictures though, the screen display overall is impressive. Quality has improved, sharpness has improved, the HD-feel is there for the home screens. I could even say that it is comparable to the iPhone 4, and better than the Galaxy S display. Theres room for improvements though... better font for icon titles, increase sharpness, less colour overflow.

it did for me, but others claim it doesnt work..
I already signed in with a gmail account and found apps were missing, so I read up on it and several people said to clear the dalvik cache, so I did and the apps came back..
yeah you need root, the universal one click root thing is so easy to do and undo that its fairly painfree...

What's new with Froyo on DX

The DX specific changes with the Froyo update that I've noticed:
• Better text zoom bubble for cursor placement and text selection. Faster. Nicely shifted up, so not as covered by finger.
• Swype looks nicer, also seems quicker/smoother.
• Clock in notif bar now shows AM/PM (seems a waste of space).
Anything else that's not general to Froyo?
e.g.

A couple of more that I noticed....
- Lock screen is different.
- Some minor changes to gmail(even before the new 2.2 version of gmail). You can now click to the next message without going back to the inbox first.

In addition to what you guys mentioned... the gallery has changed, they added a file explorer program, and the phone seems to run quite a bit faster (I'm using LauncherPro Plus, not the stock launcher). They said they were going to improve the weather and calendar widgets, but I didn't notice any change.

New camera app that was in the leaked build?

Don't notice any difference in Files program, using LauncherPro but not plus. Phone seems to respond faster. Quadrant up from 1290's to 1400+ however stopping services seems slower?

How are you guys getting 1400+ in Quadrant? My highest run was 1375. So far FroYo has been good except I'm not sure if I like the removal of the .com button in the browser keyboard.

Reran Quadrant now 1445,seems to getting faster, previous run was 1403.

Quadrant up to 1513 then , when pressing menu button settings was unresponsive so rebooted , now working ,will monitor , quadrant now high 1390's FWIW

Now back up to high 1400's , phone is stable and everything's appears to be working. Youtube is great.

Holding down "Home" button gives you a Recent App window. Somewhat same as before but I think it looks nicer.

Long hold on Magnify glass button gives you a speak-to-search tutorial. Was this available on 2.1?

Voice Actions is only available in 2.2

They changed the way the period and comma work. Before you could double tap that button to switch between period and comma, now its period by default and you have to long press for other punctuation. Overall I find it a little annoying and makes it take longer for me to text because I have to wait for a comma.
Also they changed something with the autocorrect/predictive text but I'm not exactly sure how. All I know is,sometimes after I'm done typing a text, I hit done, go to hit send (muscle memory, without looking at the screen) and somehow accidentally end up changing a word in the text message based off of a predictive text list that is still active underneath the text window. I'm not sure why it stays afterwards.

Has anyone else had any trouble playing media like pandora and mp3's? It will play for awhile and then it says media type not recognized and I have to reboot. Once I reboot my mp3 plays just fine then does it again.

Pandora works fine for me, although lately I've gotten a lot of error messages in the beginning when I First open it, but they don't seem to affect playback. I haven't really tried many MP3s, but I have noticed videos, specifically videos that I actually took with the camera, are giving me that exact same behavior. It says it's unsupported, and then if I reboot it works for a little while, then stops working again.

Have any of you gone from the 2.2 leak to 2.2 OTA? The OTA will have a newer kernel and baseband and I am curious to know if a performance increase is noticeable going from the Leak to OTA.

I have this problem. Had to reset the phone to get it to stop. Very annoying issue.

[Q] Atrix touch screen off

Ok,
does anyone else notice that the Atrix touch screen location seems a bit off?
I really notice it during browsing the internet and it seems it needs calibration. I cant say how many times I have had to click back an redo my clicking action. It seems that when you click its not accurate...
Any one else notice?
Can it be recalibrated?

Yeah I've noticed this too. It's not too bad but it is moderately annoying.

SAME HERE

Yep, same problem here but only happens in the browser. No problems typing at all but I always click a link and it seems to click a link or two above my intended selection. This problem was also even more prominent when I tried to use the firefox browser which seems to be the only browser that will allow me access to my schools website..sticking through it for now in hopes that a software update will fix it unless other users aren't having this problem, maybe just need to exchange this particular device.

After reading your post I agree with you. I mostly notice the problem with the browser. I do notice it slightly when typing but this could be do to me coming from an Iphone 4 with the keyboard being slightly different.
I dont know if you tried the browser Skyfire, but this was the only browser that I could make changes and save them when accessing the Google Voice settings from my phone. The standard browser, firefox, and even opera didnt display the full page so I was unable to actually save my changes.
Skyfire has its annoyances as well but its the best I found so far...
Thanks

Well Mine was annoying to type in landscape cause the spacebar was about 1mm higher then it looks. Felt like I was typing a "B" to hit the spacebar.
That was annoying but now, now I have the Nexus screen flip-out! Any time I type or touch the screen the thing flips out. It has a area that is seeing a perminate touch or something.. there is a app on the market that allows you to see where the touch points are. I'll have to down load it and then show someone at ATT to get it replaced... I'm irritated cause at this point I've got a lot of work in it and I cna't just make a nandroid and then restore on my next device..

Sorry about the double post, its not letting me edit my last.

If it is like the Nexus, no software won't fix it, or at least never did. They claimed they were "looking into it" BS for you'll replace it soon enough..
Is anyone else having the touch flip out issue? with multitouch visulizer or multitouch tool see what you get. I ran visulizer on mine and after about 2 min it had a perminate point on the top right corner, eventually it locked up to the point of not being able to use it.

Well hopefully there is a fix for it...I kind of put myself in a tight spot as I installed adeo rom prematurely and as far as I know there is no going back to stock yet. On top of that im pretty sure DG is done done with the atrix so unless someone picks up where he left off and I can getback to stock, ill have to live with the problem. Stupid me...

So it isn't my imagination, or my fat fingers. ONLY IN THE BROWSER. I'll touch something, and something a good 1/4" below it gets selected.
I'd say calibration also, but that doesn't explain why only in the browser. (I miss my Palm stylus!)

Are any of you facing this same problem?

Bugs/Suggestions of Samsung official Jellybean [XXLSJ]

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 (?

After Upgrade to 4.1.2 my battery cany chrage more then 67%
i have updated to JB 4.1.2, 2 days back but i am facing a strange problem. My battery is not charging more than 67% even charging for more than 5 hours. its becoming HOT and after 67% its not charging more .. it is OK on all other Stock and Custom ROMS.

[Q] What did I do? (Android scrolling static wallpaper)

I have Tyyung's JB 412 ROM running on my HD2.
The static image in the back used to move as i paged from left to right on my phone so I could see the other parts of it (the little screen where you select a wallpaper shows you what you will see)
Now its 'frozen'. Did I do something to turn this off? Not sure what I might have clicked on.

didnt work.
i flipped it on/off, rebooted several times and it still won't scroll. very weird, it scrolled for like the first month after i installed the ROM then just stopped one day. surely i changed a setting somewhere that caused this.

tried that...no love there either.
maybe it has something to do under the 'perfromance' settings..i changed something to be '16 bit graphic rendering' or something similar and it said it could cause odd artifacting.
the problem is the phone is soooooo much faster/smoother with that setting on that i hate to turn it off.
