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- Dedicated SMS backup to SD card, superseded by Backup&Restore application, which is unable to restore old backup format.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

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.

The new sms is really anoying. There r no auto bookmark to the newest message like before

Two problems I've been having on froyo. Just addressing them incase anybody else is having the same problems.
1) Haptic on flashed keyboards from rom manager. Mtm blackout and gingerbread don't enable touch vibrate.
2) sms alert won't vibrate. Alert tone is fine, as well as incoming call vibrate, but no sms vibrate.
I am running Dl30 superclean with default theme. Dj05 radio.
Any suggestions?

My suggestion would be to post your question threads in General, not Development.

If you are using the messaging app which comes on the rom, to enable vibration upon notification you must do this, at least that is what i had to do.
-go to the messaging app
-press menu button and go to settings
-go to Notification settings
-then under vibrate settings you can change it to always vibrate when notified or only when silent is enabled

Its in development because it has to do with development bugs. Its not an options menu issue. I've played with settings quite a bit now and still haven't been able to get it. Tried flashing the keyboards too.

Then maybe you should have posted your question in the thread that already exists for Froyo. Or another one of the threads that exists for Froyo. There are several of them. Development is not a place to post question threads. I am more than happy to help, but I will not help people who post in the wrong section despite requests from Moderators to NOT do so. Read what imnuts posted, it's very clear.

That needs to be stickied.
Huh. Weird. My haptic works fine. Weird.
Haptic Issue as well
Baseband is DL09 and build is DL30. I'm nonvoodo. I have haptic checked on and I have the phone set as always vibrate. None of that works. The weird thing is, vibrate and haptic did work after the initial update of DL30 and the only thing I have done since then is load Fring to my phone. I uninstalled Fring just to see if something had gone wrong but nadda. Still no haptic and no vibrate. I have also applied ROMs from Sonofskywalker3 to see if those would fix the issue. I have also taken my phone back to stock and still nothing. I'm about to exhange with verizon...Any ideas?
Strangely enough, haptic and vibrating started working again without me adjusting settings or any other attempt to fix it.. The haptic and vibrate worked for about 30mins and stopped working again. My new phone is being shipped.
My issue has to be hardware related, haptic and vibrate stopped working again. Then, after a few hours, I accidently dropped my phone and it landed pretty hard, haptic and vibrate started work again. My replacement phone is in, so I will consider this case closed and solved and unrelated to software.
1) Download Profile Manager from Market
2) Create a new profile
3) Ensure that vibrate is ticked
4) Apply profile
Incoming calls should now ring and vibrate. Notifications are still without vibration.
Setting should stick between reboots and switching to and from silent mode.
YMMV. Post issues if any.
Thanks
Thanks.
Whats also useful: smart vibrater app from the market. Its possible to activate sms vibration with it. You also can use vibration patterns, for example long, short, long or whatever you want.

Hi, I had that problem on xxlph and solved it with "Sound Manager" from the market and it works great! On the aplication you only have to go to menu/vibrate settings/vibrate whenever possible and thats all.
Hope it helps.

I just got my phone on Thursday and everything seems to work fine with the exception that I get the default beep of it every 5 minutes but without any visual notifications.
This is what I have done so far to remedy the problem:
- Uninstalled/Deleted the email app(since there is a similar problem on the GS3)
- went through every menu on the settings menu and found nothing
- changed the default sound - the beep changed the sound as well
- went into task manager and looked which apps could cause the issue
- went through gmail settings and looked if it is found there
Any help would be really appreciated since this is driving me nuts.

I had the same issue at first, it was driving me nuts until i figured it out lol. That setting must not be working correctly since i had no unread notifications but had the same issue as the op until i turned the reminder off.
More help please

I appreciate you help but I also have this problem with my Note 3 and I am getting this sound when I have not received any message of any sort!
I have spent ages going round and round in configurations but the only setting I have found is in "accessibility" and that allows you to switch off notifications. I understand that this will only stop the reminder from sounding when I actually have a message but this is very useful so I wouldn't like to lose this feature.
Can you give me any help and also show me hoe to get to the screens you suggest.
Thanks
I have to say why do we even have that button? Lol

It's under Acessibility, in the Vision section. It shoes "Notification Reminder" and when you activate it...you get a beep every 5 minutes if there is a notification.

While in call, the only way you can go about doing this is by going to homescreen(press the home button while on call)>settings>change the settings specifically. Or, you can change the phone mode to silent from the notification panel and then revert back.
it's strange that it vibrate in call,it's in all the 6.0.1?

Well yes, if you don't want notifications at all while you are on a call alone, you can change the settings from the phone application. Go to your dialer, then open settings and unselect the notify during calls options.
well i don't find the specific setting in call..where is it exactly at the nexus?

Anyone find a solution to this? Do I really have to use tasker to get this done?
Same issue here... there is no option in settings that I can find to turn it off. Its gone from annoying to infuriating... maybe its fixed in preview 5.... if the stupid OTA would ever get here
Drives me nuts, vibration should be off by default while in a call.
vibrate during call bug fixed
Looks like bug has been fixed and will be available in "future build"
I can't post url yet, google: Issue 220951: 7.0 Nougat vibration during call problem
I'm using a Huawei Mate 8 and have also run into this issue, on Android 7.0.
Using Light Flow (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rageconsulting.android.lightflowlite&hl=en) will allow you to work around this issue.
For each notification type (within Light Flow) there is an option to toggle "Vibrate in call".
