Most annoying X1 bug?

so whats youre most annoying X1 bug? try to keep it to one! lol
i dont know if anyone else gets this but the one that drives me up the wall is when i send an sms text and the little popup comes up and says "sent" if i dont click on dismiss within half a second then the dismiss button is unresponsive and wont clear the notification. so the phone is basically locked for a few seconds. what normally happens then is because ive tried pressing it the phone wakes up and the dismiss button has now become the "Send" button instead and i send a blank text!! can become fantastically annoying when texting a couple of people at the same time. the x1 just doesnt seem fast enough to cope. of course i could turn off the sent notification but i like to know that the sms has been sent. im hoping R3 firmware will be a little more responsive and sort this problem.
anyone got a more annoying bug?

did u ever try to click somewhere else then the notification shows(some empty space above it)? does the same as dismiss and doesnt lag...

You can disable this through registry lol. You know the SMS has been sent through Sent Items folder. You only open it when you believe that it hasn't been sent.

i just tried it, if i click anywhere apart from on "dismiss" then nothing happens. the notification just stays there until i click on it or press the softkey. i have noticed it does it with the vibrate on but seems ok when its on silent...
i know that the sent notification can be turned off. just i like to have it on. but yeh i suppose i can just rely on the sent notification to alert me. just seems a bit unfair that a compromise has to be made rather than the phone doing somethin that it should do!

That workaround only works on the HTC Notification replacement.

If you turn of the message sent notification and the message doesnt send for some reason it still shows that it hasnt sent. so with the lag etc it causes its easier to just disable it seems pointless to me

There u go

yeh i knew how to turn it off. ive got xperia tweak. i suppose its an old habit from when i had the p series phones. they used to have a sent message pop up then dissappear and also in the sent folder the text was marked as delivered or not. much better than the x1's system of sending a text to show delivery. ive disabled the sent notifications now so ill see how that goes. now the next thing to sort out is the lag from pressing the reply button and the new text appearing.. sometimes ive written half a sentance before anything appears on the screen lol
anyone else get the bug where when you press the space bar the start menu opens?? or the one where you send a text and the vibrate just stays on for about 10 seconds until the sent notification appears?

I have a Clock Delay problem....yesterday it was delayed 1hour! I had to adjust clock...today it was 20 min and then after a few hours 10 minutes!!! I think I am going to put a thread here about this problem....
Anyone here know how to fix this?
Thanks!

[Q] What? No LED notification?

Doesn't this phone have a LED notification feature??

Why should it have?

Isn't that obvious..?: To notify the user of missed calls and new text/email messages...

The lock screen does a pretty good job of keeping you up to date on whats been happening. I didn't even realise any new smart phones had LED notifications.

That response is hilariously absurd. I have to actually pick my phone up and look to see if something is happening?
SWYPED from my SUPASONIC

I have to say - I had the HTC Diamond before my Omnia and this is the one feature I miss.
The Phone is a million times better in every other aspect, so I will oversee this flaw

No, it doesn't. Unfortunately, this is one of the features I miss from my HD2.
But there are dozens of things that are better, so I'll get along with it

Just noticed that. I've been adapting to the icons and never checked.
I like the icons it seems, with Txt, E-mail, Multiple accounts and apps with their own notifications. Wouldn't want to have to memorise each beep. dash. dot for what i missed in this day and age, the icon tells me in one glance what I've missed with a symbol, maybe coloured dots would be the same but, i did wonder how do you not look at the phone to see the LED notification?
That i wanna learn

Point explained
We're talking hardware design here. As far as I can see from inspecting the device, it DOES have LEDs under the buttons, which means that it is INDEED possible to implement a LED notification hack of some sort... like it's been done on the Samsung Galaxy Tab, for instance (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=830782)!
The advantage: A slow-blinking LED will enable the user to become notified of a new text/email message/missed call by just glancing at the phone from afar, ergo not having to pick the phone up AND turn on the screen.
It's an epic fail, in my opinion, that this cannot be found in the otherwise great hardware design of the Omnia 7, as all well-crafted smartphones these days incorporate such functionality (e.g. the HTC Hero).

I get ya, Makes a nice feature for some phone users i guess, But i needed this as smart phone to keep on me at all times *my reason anyway*, if i miss a call/e-mail i have to call back asap anyway

If someone writes such an app, and it does not consume much more power, it would be a reason for me to do the unlock...
I guess there is no chance that this app would be approved via the official way?

Just realized: Someone's actually made an app for submitting and voting for already submitted ideas for improvements to WP7. It's called "My WP7 Idea", and yes, it already contains my idea. USE IT! (and please, please, please VOTE for this)

Does anyone know if there's a LED under the middle touch navigation button (the one with the Windows logo)? Would be cool, if this could light up with notifications, wouldn't it...?

Theres not a LED. Only the other 2 buttons lighten up. I don't think that's a problem tough.
You could think of a procedure like back button enlightened when a new sms is there, search button when you have a missed call or something.

Close to the light sensor i saw another something,i dont know what is it for..but on a video on youtube..i saw it blinking in blue..when the user used bluetooth for calling...anyone noticed that?

we got 4" led display !
can notification led just be emulated by a small blinking square right in the center of the screen ?

Yes. Ludicrous, isn't it.

I don't understand how this could bother you so much, unless you like people to notice that you are popular. You should have looked at the specs before you bought it - seems to be an ongoing problem people have with phones.

you can't be serious? since the dawn of man (ok,mobile), a phone has had a visual indicator that you have missed an event. This is like having an alarm clock with no alarm. you just have to keep waking up and switching the screen on!
I've recently got my hands on an Omnia 7 and today I realised I was missing emails,sms etc because there was no led flashing. I thought it was broken. Turns out it isn't... the logic of samsung is.

You could go to settings and set a sound for new emails (not set by default) and see if it's better, it vibrates too

2 Annoyances, looking for solutions

I apologize if this has already been covered. If it has, I wasn't able to find it.
1)
After a call, when I pull the phone away, the notification bar gets stuck "slightly" pulled down and touches to the screen are unresponsive. I have to pull the notification bar down all the way, then put it back up to make it go away. Otherwise, the bar just stays at about a half inch (or less) from the top of the screen. I'm using the SuperDark rom, but I don't think it's an issue with that since I remember the same thing happening with one of the first calls I made on the phone. It seems to happen about 1 out of 4 calls I make. I'm pretty used to it now and I usually just end the call using the notification bar when it happens, but I wanted to know if anyone is experiencing this and how it can be avoided/fixed.
2)
Animated GIFs. I saw the post of annoyances saying how the browser doesn't support them. But I couldn't find anything about the Gallery app not supporting them, either. I can deal with the browser, but I use Chandroid for 4chan and such, and it would be nice to view the animated GIFs I save from Chandroid in the Gallery. Is there a fix for this? Or possibly an alternate Gallery app I can use?
Thanks in advance

1. Don't press phone against ear until the proximity sensor turns the backlight off.
2. Don't have a specific answer. But I bet 2.2 wouldn't hurt.
good day

Looks like there was a discussion about the gif thing back in April.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=660914
I have seen conflicting information about this, though, on the web. I have a phone with 2.2 at home, so I will give it a test tonight and let you know, unless someone replies sooner.

Don't know if anyone else is getting this sound bug - randomly, typically with device in hand, either unlocking or changing volume, a static sound will go off and continue to go until I can lower the volume and lock the device.

My rumble inside the phone sounds broken.

Mine doesn't sound broken, but it certainly sounds... a lot different than my previous Nexus 4 or Galaxy series phones. My guess is because the vibrator motor is soldered to the board, and not just a piece that rattles against the case. Its actually vibrating on something solid and resonates a lot differently than the plastic that most vibrators run against.

I have problems with the camera modules in both Vine and Focal app. Which is unfortunately because Focal is amazing. The aspect ratio is all wrong and causes the images to be shrunk or stretched. Not sure what or how to fix it.

Zero issues here so far...

Not sure if it's a Moto X bug, or hangouts, or just the VZW one.
When I open hangouts from the active notifications, the keyboard doesn't activate for a few seconds. Either I click back to the main window or I scroll up and down and then the keyboard works fine.
Kind of odd and slows me down.

Have had a few random reboots (about 4 total) as well as some phantom touch events when grasping it in my left hand. Not certain if my index finger managed to touch the edge of the screen, but I really doubt it. Overall it's been quite solid, pretty impressive for an Android device rollout.
My other "other" issue is the black crush/oversaturated colors. Easily corrected with Screen Adjuster and a contrast setting of 19. Looks absolutely brilliant now. Wonderful color temperature (best I've ever seen on a phone), but I think there are multiple revisions of the screen out there as the reports seem to vary quite wildly. If you have the same screen I happen to have, definitely give Screen Adjuster a go and tick the contrast up a bit. Hopefully Moto will work this one out with the next update, but I pray they don't succumb to making the color temp cooler, I don't want to have to root this thing
edit: I should mention that my setting of 19 for contrast is good on my device for auto-brightness in my typical lighting environment. 13 seems to be the most accurate if you are testing at 100% brightness. YMMV, the trick is to keep the black pixels black since it's AMOLED, the patterns at http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/ are useful here.

I haven't had a single problem.

call recipient says "you're cutting out" too often (i.e., 2/3 calls i make; even w/5 bars of 4G). otherwise, this "phone" is great (quotation marks = sarcasm; phone is having trouble being phone). o_o

4G has nothing to do with voice calls. Not till VoLTE next year or the next.

ok. 5 bars on verizon. thanks for the correction (sincerely; not sarcasm).

Not sure if its VZW network or the Moto X but my emails keep unsyncing. Yahoo and Outlook. I have to sign in a few times a day.
Or if its the apps.

I'm going to guess it's a Hangouts bug because this also happens to me on my Galaxy Nexus

I get random reboots as well. Typically when not even using device. I only know because I'll notice that I'm back on 4g. I think it's something to do with active notifications if I don't respond to notification. Can't be sure though. Still pretty seldom. About 10 times in ~2 weeks
Also have huge issue with talk to me 'app' announcing every single text message to me. Whether using the device, on home wifi, or anywhere else. Heard it's a bug with the moto assist app they are working on. Had to use 3rd party sms app to stop.

I don't know if this bug is exclusive to the Moto X, as I'm coming from an old school Droid Bionic, but I never noticed it on that phone.
After setting up multiple contacts with custom ringtones, everything seemed to work. However after selecting a new default ringtone for my phone, it then reset all of my custom ringtones I had for various contacts. When I would open up the individual contact, the custom ringtone would still show selected, but I would have to manually select it again for it to "stick".

So, I have a Moto X, and for some reason my test messages don't expand in my notification bar. It tells me when I get them, but if I pull down the notification shade, and then do the two-finger-swipe-thing, nothing expands. The only thing that changes is the text message icon in the bottom right of the notification either appears or disappears.
Is anyone else having this problem? I've been using this feature a lot on my old phone, and am really starting to miss it on my new Moto X. Am I maybe missing a setting or something? Anyone??

One finger swipe sideways just dismisses the text notification. And if I try to one finger slide down, it does nothing. Does expandable text message notifications work for anyone else?
NOTE: Gmail and other notifications expand just fine, using the normal method. I'm pretty sure it's a bug at this point....

Anyone Else Have This Messenger App Issue?

Sometime if I exit the stock sms messaging app while its on a conversation screen with a contact, and then re-enter it (whether it be by turning screen off and on, or jumping to and from another app), the conversation jumps to the first text message I ever sent the contact...in some cases that is days ago. I then have to scroll all the way down to see the new message they sent, or to see the most recent reply.
Did I explain this good? Anyone else have this issue?

I see it as well.

Happens to me also, if you touch the right side of the chat box you can drag the tab quickly to the last message, it's no fix but it's faster than scrolling.

Yup.. annoys the heck out of me. Almost went with a different messenger, but some of the messages that go out using Voice don't show up in different messengers, but show up in stock.

I too have this issue every once in a while. I can't figure out exactly when it occurs.
Another issue with messaging that I experience is when I am in Conversation mode, and hit the Back button, I am pushed out of the application rather than back to the list of conversations. These functionality issues are annoying but nothing root and stock messaging can't fix.

Weird.. I have not come across this problem yet.

Yea it happens to me too. Not a huge deal but it is pretty annoying.

For a work around, if you just close out the keyboard and then go to enter text again, you are moved to the bottom of the conversation instead of the top.. Annoying.. but faster than scrolling IMHO.
