Has anybody else found annoying bugs so far? Here's the ones that I've run into:
- Address Book server sync overwrites changes that you've made from the phone (haven't confirmed this one, might be my fault somehow)
- Multimedia volume slider plays your ringtone once you adjust the volume, but plays it at the volume set in the ringtone slider (not the volume that you're actually adjusting)
- Browser bookmarks list has a lot of trouble keeping site icons straight, it just kind of randomly shuffles them around to the wrong site as you load different bookmarks
- AOL Instant Messenger app shows weird behavior, not sure if it's a bug but it is definitely difficult to use in its current state. Locking the phone prevents messages from showing up, then on unlock they stream in all at once, and if you go too long without checking in on it the program will be terminated but your screen name will not be signed out of AOL's server
- There doesn't appear to be any way to set a vibration for notifications like Text Messages or IMs
- Some apps (MySpace Mobile, specifically) do not account for their process being interrupted when the screen rotates and the current action will be cancelled or the program will freeze.
Overall great phone, I'm really extremely impressed with it as a whole so far. I'm amazed at how fast my internet connection is on EDGE, my old Dash was technically on the exact same connection but took 5 or 10 times longer to load a full web page. Even without 3G the web browsing experience is comparable to using my desktop at home.

ya there is. for example, go to the main Messaging page where it shows all of your threads. Click on Menu > Settings > Vibrate (put a check mark)
same thing with IMs or EMail

Awesome, thank you! Weird that the option isn't available in the same place as setting the vibration function for the phone. Has anybody found solutions to any of these other problems?
Thanks
That fixed it for me. Thanks..its so Funny because Ive been messing around with my phone for 2 days and Just found this answer...Thanks
Android will get it wrong sometimes on sms threads when the sender is not in your contacts.
I noticed yesterday I received an sms from [email protected] and deleted it. Later an sms from +1913XXXXXXX. When I pulled up the my sms folders later, the newer, undeleted sms from the 913 number said it was from @domain.com.
(and the two are in no way related.) I did a reboot and it still displayed the same.

When I plug my G1 into my iMac the computer freezes and I need to do a hard restart. Is anyone else having this issue? My updates are current on my iMac and all of my other phones work without any problems.
when i play music and i turn of the screen, there is a jump every 15 seconds
here's an email bug...
Go to craigslist.org. I wanted to ask a seller a question. When I email from there, it gives me 2 options, to use my pop 3 email account or gmail. If I use gmail, it takes off the craigslist.org extension and replaces it with gmail.com. If i choose to send with my pop 3, it just opens a blank email without the email address. I try to copy and paste the address into the sending field, but it won't let me. I use craigslist a lot, so this is a bit of a pain...
Otherwise, lovin the G1

When it switches you over to gmail. Is the body filled out or the sender in the field?
no, just replaces the extention
Give it a try see what you find. www.craigslist.org
Actually i did try it and it worked for me.
But, i used the mobile version of Craigslist.

Hi guys,
Part from the major problem (sms not sending correctly) I have this other problem:
The first page of the Weather tab in sense stops updating, so the My Location page (1/x). When I try to update all the other locations are updating but not "my location" For the other locations (2/x till x/x) the update-interval seems to be working. What I´ve done now is that I have created a new location with my hometown and marked that for the first page but it shouldn´t have to be this way..
Anyone familiar with this?
I have the exact problem as you (not the sms). All the applications are updating correctly. Anyone has a soulution?
Any fix for the weather problem, my HD2 is suffering from it as well.
yes, that´s quite boring
|edit]
Writing here gave me an idea !
This is not updating cause the HTC localization service is disabled !!! If you re-enable it, it will update ;-)

Do you have HTC location service (settings tab - locations) switched on/ticked? If not, then My Location will not be updated.
hey,
i have the exact same situation. first it worked fine but since a few days its only updating once a day (yes im pushing the button to update, as this would be a hardware button it would look pretty used xD). so i actually deactivated and reactivated the local settings but still not working
Have the location services on and have always been on... but still no update since nov 20th on the my location weather. Not the most important maybe but kind of annoying.
Anyone figured it out yet?
Same problem for my.
I have changed State and nothing happend...
same problem here...
I had the same problem. Location service worked fine, since my location appeared in Google Maps. No location update and no weather update in the weather tab.
After a soft reset it works fine again (for the time being).
Are you guys also experiencing the sms message problem? Because to me it seems somehow related to each other.
I use the temporary fix of Confusion to send sms messages and now the weather for "my location" also works fine (which didn't before)

Sms problem as well...
weather problem, no SMS problem. I believe its down to the network cell you're located in. out in the "sticks" my weather works fine (probably only on one "tower"). In town where there are separate O2 towers for GPRS / 3G / HSDPA it won't update. Just my theory .....
rivets
Mine ahs been working fine for 5 days now today it not working
last update 9am this morning and wont update...if i add a town near me that updates fine
edit .. now working
same here... must be the network doesn't catch edge or I don't know
My HD2 us also suffering from this problem...
All locations in weather update fine EXCEPT for my location. The wierd thing is that if i make a duplicate entry for where i live in weather that that one updates but the first entry (my location) doesnt.... The weather on the front page does not update.
Does anyone have a fix for this at all? Its only a small thing but its managing to bug me!!!
The only changes i have made are that i have removed the proxy server address (as i am on T mobile) and made the change to be able to view iPlayer.
It seems to me, it only works when I connect my phone through our wifi-network. Only then it seems to resolve it's location. Any other attempt to resolve the location fails. Why would this be?
Exactly the same problem, Im on T-Mobile, location has never worked for me, slightly annoying as google maps can pinpoint my location within 5 metres?
I'm having SMS issues too
On the weather, when I connect through wifi it sets my location as Hounslow but when I disconnect wifi it correctly sets my home location as Aberdeen.
Hey just writing to say I've had the same problem too.
I first turned the HD2 on without a sim in and used it simless for half a day until I got an unlock code and could use my 3 UK sim. As soon as this was put in, My Location stopped working and has not worked since (neither WiFi nor 3G). It worked prior to putting the new sim in over WiFi.
I also the sms problem (I think, haven't really sent/received many texts to know tbh).
Hello Guys,
I'm having a problem with my Leo since the Winter time changed last month.
The phone didn't auto update the time and I had to change it manually, works fine till I update the weather application, when I do it changes back one hour... I manage to bypass that by ignoring "My Current Location" and use the city I'm in. Now I can update the weather and the hour stays good.
With all this I have two issues now, I cant use the "My Current Location" no more and when I receive a text message it's always one hour before mine...
I'm getting insane here, I don't mind much for the "My Current Location" thing cause I do not travel much but the message hour thing is killing me cause it messed up the message thread view...
I'm from Lisbon, Portugal.
Please advise,
Marco
Have you tried here
Thanks pepesz, just glad I'm not the only one with this problem...
You're welcome
Has anyone cracked the code on when Google chat on the phone ignores desktop chat and when it doesn't? I have seen that sometimes when I chat with my friends on my desktop, sometimes my phone beeps for every line entered by the other party and sometimes it doesn't. I think in a perfect world, the phone should beep for the "first" line of text, and if I answer on the desktop, it should ignore the rest (but still record them for posterity). And if I answer on the phone, perhaps it should just haptic vibrate for each line of text received after the "first". I say "first" in quotes because I imagine that would be difficult to manage pragmatically. When is it the first chat of a new "session", and when is it just a delay in between chat lines of the same session? Maybe a customizable interval, like say five minutes. If no text is received within five minutes then it is a new session, so beep on the first line?
Lat night I was chatting with a friend (I was on the desktop) and every time he sent something, my phone would beep. Not the best solution in my opinion.
From what I can tell, your phone will receive the message when you do not have the gchat window active on your desktop.
If you click in on the area like you were going to type a message and leave your cursor there, when your friends send messages they don't seem to get sent to the phone. On the other hand, even if you have gchat open on your desktop and you say use a different program or are on a different tab in your browser, then your phone will receive the messages.
At least this is my experience. I think this is the correct behavior as you don't need to get messages in two places when you are actively chatting.
From my experience I use Gchat on my pc everyday when i am at work and I have my phone on my desk near by. When a friend of mine messages me it hits both for the first message, but if i answer on my desktop, it does not hit my phone ever until I sign off of gchat on my pc. Even if it is not focused on the gchat window. I am however using Trillian for my gchat, not sure what you all are using.

This is what happens for me as well. Messages go to my phone on the first IM or if I don't have that window active on my desktop.
I am using the built-into-gmail-dot-com google chat. This has definitely happened to me several times before. Last night it happened again. The entire conversation I had with my friend, every time I received a message on my desktop, my phone also beeped. Other times it worked like it was supposed to (beeped the first time and that was it.)
I will see if I can get my wife to help me troubleshoot tonight.
perhaps a topic for a different thread...
I found the chat behavior to be exactly the way DLarva stated:

My question (perhaps a dumb one ) is how/where to turn off the notification that you got a chat all together?
I don't want any notification of a chat receipt while I am on the phone.
Any help?
Maybe:
Try (within setting of google talk) turn off notification bar, no vibrate, and set ringtone to silent.
That might approximate no notification.

thanks for that - have tried to "approximate" no notification, and that's all well and good. . . but not the same as turning it off.
I have looked around in my mobile settings in the google account but can't find it (thought it might be similar to turning on/off notification of appointments in the calendar)...
might just be missing it, but this seems like fairly simple feature. I am nearing feeling ready to root my phone and thought maybe this would be a feature that was only available after doing that. It would have been the final encouragement I need to take that (admittedly not very big) plunge!
I have a rooted Nexus One (CM6 with KOR) and that is as close as I can get to turning them off (that I can find anyway).
This was happening to me, too (when I used Gtalk on the PC, the phone sitting on my desk would sound the alert, with every chat message I rec'd) -- so I just manually signed out of Gtalk on the phone, and it stopped happening. I mostly use Gtalk on desktop anyway. (Though when I check "running processes" on the Vibrant, I see Gtalk always seems to be running -- must start up automatically -- even though I'm signed out...)
exactly Pevvy -
but signing out of Gmail kinda defeats the purpose of having the phone constantly synched. Guess the same argument could be made as to why you want chats saved/synched... anyhoo - I just don't want chat on my vibrant, period. I don't want them saved (so transcription is turned off in gChat on the desktop) and I would never chat from the phone. OK, never say never, but I would rather have to enable that, rather than always having it running using resources.
When I root that would a fun thing to explore to see if it can be deactivated through some custom start-up (so it doesn't show as a running service - I see the same thing) and only starts if I manually start it.
That said, if it is server side associated with the google account (its a hosted domain and that may further change things...) it may not be able to adjust even with root. Interest how this shows the blending/blurring between the net and the synch to the phone - and should data and synch be more push or pull.
Oh, I didn't sign out of Gmail on my phone -- just Gtalk (the chat service)... seems it was keeping me signed in automatically before, and I had to go into the app, and manually sign out.
I first noticed this about two or three weeks ago when I realized that I wasn't being notified that my Ring doorbell (via the app) was detecting motion or anyone was pressing the doorbell. (For those unfamiliar with the product, it's a doorbell that notifies your phone/tablet that someone is either near the doorbell via motion sensors or has rang the doorbell). When I open the app I see the whole list of motions and doorbell presses that I would have expected, but no notifications are being added to the notification panel.
Similarly, I haven't been receiving notifications for new text messages. I've used Signal (not the stock messenger) and when I open that app it will show which messages are read vs. unread. Since then I've realized that very few notifications are displaying anymore. GMail seems to be the only one, but there was one or two instances where a notification would show in the lock screen, I'd unlock the phone, and the notification would disappear on it's own after a moment (I think this happened twice).
Notifications are definitely turned on for each of these apps (both in in-app settings and in the phone settings). I also have some apps installed to my SD card, but all of the one's I've mentioned are installed on the phone's memory. I'm running a rooted Verizon G900VVRU2BPB1.
Unfortunately, I discovered this problem rather slowly, in that it came up over the course of a few weeks and not "right after I installed X app", so if a specific app or setting is effecting this, then I'm not sure which it could be. I also rooted a few months ago, but I'm 99% sure this problem hasn't been going on THAT long.
