Lost or removed features:
- Automatic brightness
- Green Led notification for unread SMS
Worsened features:
- GPS settings
- GPS popup warning each time GPS is enabled
New bugs:
- Low resolution contact pictures
Replaced functionalities:
- Dedicated SMS backup to SD card, superseded by Backup&Restore application, which is unable to restore old backup format.
I would like to collect and discuss all the features removed or lost in the 2.1 update, as well as the new bugs, annoyances, and the features that have somehow worsened.
Please post you list, I will update accordingly the opening post.
This should also be the place where to discuss these issues or post workarounds.
For me a big problem is GPS. The additional setting is gone, and now every time you activate GPS via the widget, you get the confirmation popup
But even worst, the confirmation popup appears even if an application enables GPS in background!
I read auto bright is still there, seems it is on the widget now
Lost Features :
No more Green Led notification when you receive a sms

No, it's a three state: minimum bright; settings bright; maximum bright

Supposedly works just fine if the screen is off.
Feature Worsened:
The signal-to-noise ratio on these forums is far far too low.

Just done a test. With the screen off, I sent me an SMS. I got the new message sound, and then the green led remained off.
You can use BLINK for your LED thing.
I been using it but not sure if you can use it for SMS...

Weird. I've found my phone not blinking for other notifications too, on 1.6.
Have you tried another SMS app?

its one less thing to worry about .
I had a total freeze on stock browser last night couldnt close it down properley had to restart. got used to that though from nokia 5800/x6. thought id seen the last of it.
Luckily it has not happened since so ill give it the benefit of the doubt this time.
worsened: The exchange native support is removed from Android 2.1 and they still got Moxier in there
I am going to use my root to remove all default Google apps so I can install the cyanogenmod versions... see if i can't get exchange back in the mail app and remove bloat.

When the G2 first came out, I saw owners asking if they could get the LED (showing power/charging status) working as a notification LED. Fair enough, I thought, I'm sure someone will get that working.
However, when I got my DZ, I found in the settings (under "Display"), a section on "Notification flash", subtitled "Flash LED light for notifications". Then under that section you can turn on or off "Missed Call", "SMS/MMS", "Email", etc. Mine are all ticked, but when I get an SMS the LED doesn't flash.
In the PDF manual, the section on Settings->Display doesn't mention anything about this.
Does this work for anyone else ?
EDIT - Mine does work after all ! It's the trackpad LED that flashes. See post #21 in this thread
the option in the setting reffers to the trackpad light doesn't it?

I didn't think so, but I don't know for sure. Anyway, nothing seems to flash, neither the trackpad nor the power LED.
Same here, all ticket, but nothing happens !!
It works here, i can remember pad glowing on/off slowly. Also when got mail, the green led is blinking iirc. I will try to observe this more now if it works in all cases...

I have no notification sound on new mail either. It does vibrate but nog sound.
All boxes are ticked (vibrate and sound) in the mail options...
U can use the LED for notifications when you install a program like sms pop up.
Standard the light notifications are set to use the track pad
Use the app LED me know , does exactly what you need it to do and more !!

Try the "LED me know" app from the Market, it's working great for me - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=851220
It works on desire Z in both modes normal and compatibility.
I find it strange I don't see "Touchpad" until I enable Compatibility mode, I was expecting to see more options in normal, less in compatibility, as the name suggests.
At first I thought my LED was not flashing when I got an SMS, but i've realise its the trackpad surrounding light that flashes. Theres a long delay between flashes which is probably why i didnt notice it at first.

That's the stock ROM that the standard European DZs seem to have (I mean English ROMs). So the same as me. Weird, because it doesn't work for me at all.

Its faulty then, send it back pal. When you receive an sms, the 1st 'pulse' of the light is when you get your vibration, then every 10 seconds ish after that.
I have no problems with this either however is kind of weird.
When I get mail, the led that is located at the top of the telephone (the one that changes color when charging from red to green when is fully charged) flashes.
However if it is a sms or miss called the one that flashed is the trackpad.
Is this suppose to be like this?
I think it's the same for me. Also, from what I've noticed, the upper LED will flash indefinitely until the email notification is dismissed, while the trackpad ring for SMS will only flash for a few minutes, not until I actually read the SMS.
Don't remember what the notification is for missed calls, I'll have to test more. I'd like to have that ring flash whenever I have an unread notification, and keep doing so until I dismiss the notification... The way it's now, also using the upper LED, seems inconsistent.
Hey everyone
Just got my galaxy and am loving android. Have just updated to 2.2
Only issue im having is, when the screen is in sleep mode (i.e locked) if i miss a call, or recieve text msg (and arent near the phone) it will just flash up for like 3 seconds, then the screen goes black again, so there is no way I can tell ive missed something without having to press the home button every now and again.
I downloaded this application "missed call" as I thought that might resolve the issue, but that doesnt seem do anything when phne is in lock/sleep mode so doesnt help.
Also when the phone is active, and i do recieve sms it doesnt vibrate even thoug I have set it to in the settings.
If anyone knows howto get repeat/constant notifications going when phone is in sleep mode that would be great ???
Thanks heaps

thanks heaps ill try it
btw does anyone know howto make it with show many characters your sms currently is ? So you know when your going over 1 txt etc.
thanks again
Sorry if this has been solved, I tried searching to no avail.
I get this terrible vibration while I'm on a phone call and I receive a SMS, I use GO SMS, rooted and on the Alien ROM. I had the same problem unrooted and stock ROM.
Anyone know how to get rid of it? the only solution I've seemed to find is turning off vibration completely for SMS which I don't want to do.
Thanks ahead of time!
Hmm in CM7 you click on text app then press menu key the go to setting then notification settings then uncheck vibrate during call. Not sure if that's a CM7 feature only at the moment but worth a try
