I thought this may be a good syndication thread for listing stuff that is buggy in the new Hero ROM (2.73.*) but worked in the old one.
Let me start:
- headphone jack issue - I didn't see this in the 1.76.* ROM, but now experience it full blown. Plug headphones in, sound redirects from speaker to headphones. Plug them out, sound stays redirected. Major PITA.
- calendar sync - not only is my Hero not syncing with Google Calendar anymore, it's also not displaying any events in the home screen widget, not even the local ones.
- sms widget bug - hit back button after opening a message and Hero cycles through your recently used apps instead of going back to list messages. I'm not even finding this one funny anymore.
- the jumping keyboard - switch from portrait to landscape with the keyboard on screen and it suddenly gets a life of its own.
- wifi disconnects and Hero goes onto HSDPA even with wifi "sleep policy" set to "never".
I've updated to the official ROM with a full wipe.
The speed improvement is not enough for me to live with those annoying new bugs. I guess I'll just go back to 1.76.* and wait for another update.
Anyone with similar thoughts and problems? Some additional, different ones? Let's make list and then just send it to HTC.
I guess it's only fair if you're running a 2.73 ROM, not something super-custom.
Running vanilla 2.73 and I'm not experiencing any of the bugs you mentioned. On the contrary, I had issues getting my Google contacts and calendar to sync with 1.76, 2.73 works flawlessly for me.
As for the SMS widget, I'm just not using it. There are far too many people playing with my phone on a daily basis, and I don't fancy them peeking at my private texts.
All in all, I'm more than happy with 2.73.

works without problems for me...
I'm using the modaco custom rom
I haven't noticed these bugs at the official 2.73.405.5 either...
Keyboard, headphones and SMS works just fine here!
Hi everyone,
I have some problems with the new one. When I log into the market, all it shows is the free app only. Also, the camera, on the previous version I was able to zoom in/out with trackball which I see much easier, in the new one I can’t do that anymore!
Also, I was able to custom a ringtone on my contacts list or groups, but the new version doesn’t allow me to do this too .
So, I am wondering if there is any way to switch between the new versions 2.73.405.5 to the old one 1.76.405.6.
Thanks

Zooming with the trackball indeed isn't possible anymore. But to be fair, zooming messes up your picture even more
On the first page of a contact (named information) I'm still able to change ringtones for that person only, I thought this was easier in the previous version but it still is possible.
As for the wifi, don't have any problems with it, keyboard acts normal to and my trackball isn't flashing 10 min after recieving and reading a text. Also as far as I know I haven't missed a text, huge problem on the previous rom.
Also I don't have the sms widget problem, it just returns to the widget as it's
supposed to.
I don't have any problems at all with the new rom, and the speed improvement is just awesome... Glad I choose My Hero over a Iphone.
Little note: using the official htc rom (not rooted) with a vodafone simcard (unbranded phone)

If you do a flick where the zoom used to be it comes up.but better than that if you press the screen it will focus where you press keep your finger there and it will take the picture.

My Hero syncs fine with google calender, and sms widget bug only happens sometimes or with some special order of commands which I dont use. Havent found the landscape keyboard to jump, but I dont really use it that often.
With the headphone jack unplug redirect thing, I dont believe this is a bug i think it is working as intended, or i hope so at least. THis is how it works on my ipod touch, it is good that the music stops when u unplug the headphones and it is really annoying otherwise to have to unlock the phone and stop the music everytime I need to unplug my headphones. I dont see how this is a PITA? It redirects fine when u want to answer a call.
Bluetooth fix
I was having a lot of problems getting my Hero to pair up with the bluetooth in my car(Honda Civic) it would pair once then even turning discover on , on the phone it would not pair up again, i have flashed the HTC rom update onto my Hero and it pairs everytime straight away, so we are getting somewhere with the Hero bluetooth, now just file transfer and we are away.
I am another that is not seeing any of the reported issues above. In fact I am very impressed with the new version (Orange v2 ROM).

Mine was weird. When I cleaned the whole storage for Calendar, Calendar Widget etc. it did work indeed, and then stopped again all of a sudden.
I've done another factory reset and so far, so good - it works fine again. I've noticed in the debugger (DDMS) that it now is accessing a different URL for my calendar, even though it's the same account as previously. No idea what's caused that, but whatever it was induced the WiFi bug as well.
The update did wipe everything, but maybe the key was do to a factory reset after updating as well? Dunno

Yes, that's expected behaviour, but that's not what I meant
Here's what I see:
- Plug-in headset, sound gets redirected
- Start playback
- Unplug headset, playback pauses
- Start playback
Now it should play via speaker, right? Mine doesn't. It still thinks the headset is plugged in.
Major PITA.
That's how it should look like (in the debugger):
Code:
DEBUG/AudioFlinger(38): setRouting 0 2 -17, tid 38, calling tid 64
INFO/AudioHardwareMSM72XX(38): Routing audio to Speakerphone (0,2)
DEBUG/AudioHardwareMSM72XX(38): rpc_snd_set_device(1, 1, 1)
DEBUG/HTC Acoustic(38): msm72xx_enable_audpp: 0x0007
That's what I see when the bug appears (which is 9/10 times):
Code:
ERROR/MusicUtils(3585): Headset 1:1, 1
I don't think it's hardware related since the OS notices that the headset was unplugged.
stock rom update here
i still have a stock rom on my phone ( the newest) and all above mentioned "bugs" work just fine for me.
the only one i have an issue with after the update is the switching between 3g and edge connections...
in my bedroom at home is the only place i experience this, but it doesnt seem to switch between 3g and edge very nicely at all, looooooong interuuptions and sometimes it just wont go, similar with wifi to mobile data connection.
and the camera is still sh!t. anyone out there planning on fixing this for us less fortunate, mildly retarded, people who cant fend for themselves?
i have never seen a camera in a phone behave so poorly in low light conditions.... any fixes out there for this?

Mine happens like this...
- Start Music with no headphones, comes out of speaker phone
- Plug in headphones, music transfers
- Unplug headphones, music pauses
- Press play again, comes out of speaker phone.
Not sure if you get the same as this, but for me this is perfect and not a bug, if I unplug my headphones I don't want music blaring out of my speakerphone for everyone to hear.
The only issue I've got is that my messaging widget only scrolls the first two texts, and I never use it anyway.
Other than that, love the update - fixed the old headphone / led issue for me

I've experienced some kind of lags at the beginning of a track at the music player. Dunno what caused this problem, but it came up after using the new update a few days...

Everything is working great for me including the calendar sync, etc but my wifi disappeared. It will no longer find networks no matter what I do and no icon on notifications bar
If anyone cares to chime in some ideas to try out? LMK. I posted a thread previously here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=563068

Running the Modaco 2.2 version of 2.73, I do not get this problem. With both music player and Spotify, plugging in the headphones diverts the music to the headphones and pulling the plug sends it back to the speakphone.

Dave

Hi there,
I was hoping this is the right place to report a couple of bugs on Bug report for 2.2.1 CM Floyo v0.20 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914513
I have tried both the 2.3 and 2.2 versions, and as 2.2 is more feature complete, I have been using it for a good while now.
However, I have noticed the following:
Video - It was crashing at the end of recording video, and the files were only openable with VLCplayer with picture but no audio, everything else said "failed to render". I've updated the VGA fix on the thread, so i'll see if this happens again.
Radio - When you turn the radio on, with the headphones plugged in, it always defaults to the speaker. I have to then click the button to bring up the menu, select "Play in speaker" and then again "Play in handsfree" and then it works
During calls - If you are listening to the radio or audio, and you get a phone call, it will interrupt the audio. However, when the phone call ends, it doesn't go back to whatever you were listening to. I know the stock rom could do this, and it's not a major annoyance but it would be cool to get that fixed.
Camera - When taking a number of photos, I've noticed that sometimes you can take a couple of pictures, but then it will show you a blank screen. You need to back out of the camera, and then back into it to keep taking shots.
Other than that I haven't had any problems, and if any of you are looking for a rom to replace the stock sony ericsson one, this one seems to be the most complete and functional (and I've tried them all).
Hopefully the dev will see this, and otherwise check out the rom. Good job!
Jamie
yapp.. i found some error at video to, if u switch to video--> in potrait-->then make phone landscape (by moving phone) it will be force close.
any why i think it minnor bug, and usually people not always in that conditions.
about video playback, nothing wrong for me.. i can play it normally using Gallery 3D or default video player
repost it here
There is an issue that I've experienced in Floyo's v0.20; I cant seem to mute the mic in a call.
I saw that the GingerFroyo ROM had this issue, but there seems to be no comment in Floyo's.
Has anyone seen a fix / mod for this?
unfortunately I cant comment on Dev threads so have to do it here
additional issues
Hello
I am using floyo 20 for more than a week, it seems very stable (more stable than my phone was with the original 1.6 soft), however I found some issues:
- Pictures taken seems lower quality (blurred), than what I was able to shoot with the original 2.1 soft. I dont know if it is a setting issue, however I didnt find a way to change photo setup (for example picture quality).
- Battery drains faster than with the orignal soft. Now the highest battery consumer is voice call, however with original soft, voice calls was not the highest battery consumer. Maybe it is also a setting issue, but I dont know what is set up differently.
Thank you.
Tom
FYI: I fixed the mute problem by replacing the Calls.apk from another ROM. Just replace the apk and set the permissions as rw-r--r-- (644)
Hello everyone,
I've just installed JB CM10 RC2 by PolishVodka, ROM works fine, but i can't hear the voice of person I call. I have also flashed all fixes included in main thread, but it does not solve my problem. Of course before installation I have fully wiped my phone via Recovery (latest verion), resized partitions etc. On GB/ICS roms I haven't noticed this problem. I would like to use this JB rom as my daily, so please help me!

Would you mind if I post about PolishVodkas rom here? My problem may be somewhat related to yours: the sounds (except music) are always on the speaker, even if headphones are plugged in. ANd when there is a call incoming the phone behaves like headphones are unplugged and plays all sound through speaker, thats mean music AND the ringtone of icoming call.
If this rom werent so fast and stable I would just forget about it and flashed something else, but I really would love to stay with it. PolishVodka - hope you read it.

You're welcome, P.G.R I have reported my problem directly to PolishVodka . He told me, that some users have encountered described problem with phone calls, but on his phone everything works fine, so it's pretty hard for him to find the source of this bug. Anyway I have good news - during the call let's try to set the volume higher or lower by +/- buttons. I've done it once and problem disappeared permamently I haven't tested headphones, but maybe this little PolishVodka's trick solves all sound problems

Good, but, meanwhile, Ive returned to AOSP2 and it is super fast, its weird that no one uses it as a base for their 2.3.7 roms (most seems to base their work on SDSL, which was always too "jerky" for me...)
That explains why I got no sound while I was getting called.

Hello I have a Defy + green lense (in fact it was a defy but I flashed a wrong sbf), and I'm on Quarx's latest 4.4.2 rom.
I love everything about the rom but my phone goes mute randomly, but it shows it wasn't mute yet it has no sound.
When this happens, my alarm clock doesn't work, I don't hear people calling. Sometimes I can hear the call but we can't talk through the phone, both of us are muted in some way.
Is there any fix or rom that doesn't have this mute problem, as I hear it's a known bug existed for a long long time and it seems it can't be fixed?

It happens quite often when bt is already disabled. But I do use bt headphone a lot as well. Nevertheless, I always turn bt off after use. The phone is still muted regardless.
I have to connect to my bt headphone again and dc it to unmute my phone, otherwise I have to do a reboot.
I heard some rom has solved this problem but we can't for defy? Or most think it is not annoying enough to start finding a solution.
