10 things that I hate about Gingerbread!

I really wonder why there is none of such thread here!
Gingerbread unfortunately brought only bad things to my Nexus. I already forgot why I was so crazy about installing it.
What feature did it introduce again?
Okay the response is much better and everything seems faster...but with lots of bugs?
That screen off animation? Seriously?
Things that I hate now:
- Battery Time: this is bad, can't even run half a day with lot of usage, b
efore I could listen to mp3's one day, ie. more than 4 hours without any problems...now
- Camera: either Cam or Video, the application crashes after I take a photo or video and then I can not connect to it anymore
- Gallery: often crashes, especially if you have an online photo account connected
- unlock screen: I use a pattern, often there is no overlay of what pattern I drag, still the screen can be unlocked
- Market: even if automatic updates activated, it only updates if you open the market and go to the "my apps" tab
- 3G and Wifi: if you are connected to wifi more than 15 minutes and then disconnect from it you do not get any 3G, you have to go to airplane mode and back, this bug appeared ages ago and was fixed, now back again...tells you a lot about their merging control, ie. sucks
- notification led: you know...
- apps: there are a lot of apps running even though I never used them since restart (see it in a task killer app)
- gps: on a random bases it tries to lock even though no app that uses gps is running
- phone reboot: it even rebooted without any notice two times since I installed it
(- Contacts: I still can't enter a simple thing like a birthday on an expensive phone like this)
MOD EDIT: Borderline trolling removed. If you switch OSes, that's your own choice. No one here is stopping you.
Got any troubles? Tell here.

4. Blank keyboard- fixed by switching to another keyboard and back again, or a reset
5. Blank Launcher- fixed with reset
6. In the stock SMS app a long press>delete conversation doesn't always delete the selected conversation; sometimes you have to do it twice.
As far as battery goes, my display is still the thing that takes up the most battery (which is normal) but I had been experiencing severe declines in battery life. Does the switch to 32-bit color require more processing power and therefore battery?
I *#*#4636#*#*>phone information and saw it was set to WCDMA preferred. I remember playing with the option when froyo came out but didn't remember what it was set to (Maybe Gingerbread reset the option...?). I changed it to GSM PRL (Auto), and have experienced increases in battery life, as my phone isn't hunting for 3G all the time- it uses a service provided list of tower locations.
The LED REALLY bugs me.

Hate about Gingerbread
No trackball wake
Juice Defender Doesn't work (but Green Power does - works well but with less flexibility than JD)
Short battery life
Useless keyboard selection gimmicks

- Market: even if automatic updates activated, it only updates if you open the market and go to the "my apps" tab

Well, glad to know mine isn't the only one that does this!!
On Froyo I would wake up in the morning to freshly updated apps that had updated automatically over night.
I have not had this happen a single time on Gingerbread, and nearly every time I go in to the market there are updates waiting.
What is the point of the automatic update feature when it doesn't work???

auto update never worked for me, even in froyo.

-Battery with CM7 roms
-Trackball wake blocked in non-CM7 roms
-More difficult to mod themes like statusbar (before we just had to change a png and now we have to edit a bunch of files)
So in summary GB roms are still not stable and complete, they have either TB wake missing or poor battery life too

My annoying issues?
- 2 second mic mute after I answer a call
- stock launcher choking after a while
Less annoying ones:
- Market does not automatically update apps
- gps activations without an apparent reason

My annoyances
In no particular order:
The cursor select triangle not lining up with the cursor
Launcher unresponsive/vanishing
Lockscreen pattern not showing (as in the OP)
Phone randomly stays awake at night
GPS turns itself off
Not able to view an apps wakelock any more
USB mount screen shows 'turn off' even when it isn't mounted (UK issue)
USB debugging icon doesn't appear, or doesn't turn off depending on how you enabled it
Exchange push is just crap now, I swear it's getting worse by the day

While I'm not a big Gingerbread lover at all, here are answers to some of the points:
Battery time is fine, at least in freshly installed ROMs it far exceeds what Froyo mastered.
Camera is your own problem - you didn't update radio, or your update went bad.
Gallery never crashed - again, your own problem (you get the feeling now, right?).
3G and WiFi - again, your own problem. No bug.
Apps - and why do you care? Isn't the "DO NOT USE TASK KILLER" thread clear enough? 150-200MB free RAM aren't self-explanatory?
Due to your comments, you might really consider switching to Apple. It would be beneficial both for you and for this forum.
Or you could back up user data, wipe, install new radio and bootloader, load fresh Gingerbread ROM (NOT CM7 or CM7-based), and have most of your points addressed.
Now, having said that, if you want a much better overall feel - install Froyo-based Desire port, or if you don't have any use for Hotspot - DesireHD port. I hate using barebone Android after some experience with it.

have you guys heard about Cyanogenmod ROM? I am using CM7 RC4 and I have no problems that anyone mentioned in this thread....

Maybe you haven't heard that your experience not necessarily represents anything.
For me (and another 2 guys that asked me to reinstall other ROM on their Nexus Ones), CM7 was a huge, awful pile of bugs. Starting with the ill-famous "wonk".
Plus, again, after having some SenseUI I don't really want to go back to plain Android, and wouldn't suggest it to anyone looking for a good overall experience.

I have an occasional problem with the application tray where it stutters, flashes and doesn't scroll properly. It seems to happen only after exiting certain apps, and needs the launcher to be force closed to fix.

Just lost all credibility in my book...
I would suggest the OP decides what features he/she wants in a ROM and then try a few different ones out. There are plenty to cater to all tastes and i'm sure they'll be able to find one that works well for them.

1. exchange sync stops syncing without any reason. can't start a manual sync. only reboot of the phone helps for a short period of time. needs a fix very urgently.
2. TINY TINY notification icons...the worst idea google had for the GB update. i cannot see the difference between the gmail and exchange mail icon on normal usage in example.
There are some more points which i also mentioned in my blog about gingerbread for nexus one:
http://smartphoneblogging.com/2011/03/review-android-2-3-3-gingerbread-for-nexus-one/

Thread Cleaned
Let's play nicely in here and keep this on-topic. This is not the place to discuss other operating systems. This is about issues pertaining to the OTA Gingerbread updates.
Thanks,
Your loving moderator.

One bug and one annoying change:
- The instability of the launchers. I hope they address this.
- The inaccessible GPS toggle. Tasker can't access it and neither can the toggle widgets. Why did they change this?

my mms sometimes does not send if i configure 2 APNs (one for mobile data and one for mms), while i disable the one for mobile data...
it's working fine on Froyo and CM6 before

QFT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Auto brightness adjustment no longer fades, now it just jump straight to the target brightness which is quite abrupt visually.
And of course... trackball wake is gone.

I concur with these points:
- Battery Time: this is bad, can't even run half a day
- Gallery: often crashes, especially if you have an online photo account connected
- Market: even if automatic updates activated, it only updates if you open the market and go to the "my apps" tab
- GPS: on a random bases it tries to lock even though no app that uses gps is running
- Creating shortcuts on desktop: sometimes you can't drag/drop icons to the desktop or to a different spot on the desktop.
- The cursor select triangle not lining up with the cursor
- Auto brightness adjustment no longer fades, now it just jump straight to full bright or full dim.
As for the people suggesting we update the radio and try different roms, while that is primarily what this board is about, it doesn't "solve" anything. This is a stock Nexus One with official everything. If it doesn't work then it doesn't work.

How to increase wifi signal on any TW Rom

Just thought I'd share. It's a trick I learned on the Samsung epic OG
No root needed very simple
Go to dialer pad
Enter *#0011#
When the info screen appears hit the menu hard key
You'll see wifi.... Click it
Next you'll see by default powersave mode is enabled. (it sets signal power to 6 out of 10)
Uncheck powersave mode
And that's it. Watch the signal on your wifi in areas where you had maybe 1 bar you'll have 3 now etc.
Enjoy

OP, Can you undo this if it gives any issues (like the battery one above)?

yes do the exact same thing but check the power save box.
i see no battery difference at all ive been doing it since the samsung epic. in fact theres a way to allow LTE to connect at a higher decibel than normal (then you'll have LTE at farther distances) but i cant find the proper code yet. its under Entry RX
in the dialer codes

This is expected IMO. I mean you are physically unchecking "power save" which I believe increases the gain on the amplifier. Unless you are actually suffering from poor wifi signal in an area where there's nothing you can do about it, I would leave it as is. If you're having wifi issues in your home, I would upgrade hardware or add a wifi repeater before messing with the phone.

[ROM] Lineage 13.0, Idol 3 4.7" variants [unofficial] The Stayboogy Way

first and foremost, special thanks to alecbl for his initial device tree and kernel source. this build would not be possible without his kernel work.​
This is LineageOS 13.0 for the Alcatel Idol 3 4.7" variants​
as always, full device, vendor, and kernel trees available at github:
https://github.com/stayboogy/stayboogy_lineage13_idol347
all changes in detail: https://github.com/stayboogy/stayboogy_lineage13_idol347/commits/master
This build is not the same as alecbl's, mine has some various changes to make it a more proper build for this specific device.
Updates will be coming as time progresses and new features are added.​
FEATURES:
tap2wake & tap2sleep
double press power button opens camera
triple press power gives brightness boost
call recording available
lineage.yahoo.weather provider now installed by default
notepad included by default
typical apps and functionality of CM / Lineage roms
SPECIAL NOTES
1) wrist/tilt sensor (accelerometer) is used for the missing motion sensor for doze settings
2) speech to text / voice typing requires the Google app and for microphone permissions to be activated in settings/apps/Google/permissions then it will work correctly
3) smart lock settings work and persist over reboots--you must have the play store updated, play store services updated, the Google app installed, and Maps installed for all settings to work in smart lock settings.
4) flip cover has not been activated in the device tree yet--if people want it, post and if enough want it i'll add it back
5) battery light pulse option is no longer available, battery light itself when plugged in is active; notification light pulses by default, it's speed can no longer be edited because it doesn't work correctly--this was an executive decision because i don't like options that don't work correctly, these will not be added back, versions 1.1 and higher are incompatible with 1.0 framework so don't try to replace.
6) selinux is enforcing

Hi stayboogy - looking forward to trying this out

Great to see a new dev picking up this device, looking forward to test your work!

sorry last build had an error, new link will be up later tonight

link is live now.
post anything i might have missed. so far i think it is fairly polished

@stayboogy - I'm Testing it now - No root access for apps ? only adb option.

not missing, that's how modern security works and should be.
install superuser from recovery, that's standard mode of operation for everything after kk.

@stayboogy , Will you build lineage os 14.1??

A few issues I found on my day using this rom, I will provide logs on monday if you need, I'm out for the weekend and don't have a pc right now.
-Sometimes the power button instead of locking the device it boosts the screen brightness to max for a few seconds.
-I still find the smartlock issue with bluetooth devices, I do have google app and maps installed
-WiFi speed seems lower than on other devices connected to the same network, but since I'm not on my own house it might be a network issue, will confirm this when I get back home.

1) you're double pressing the power button then, and you have the "double tap power to open camera" option off in settings/buttons/
--either stop double pressing the power button which is what boosts brightness
--or turn on double press for camera option to turn off brightness boost
--or stop double pressing your power button
--pressing once will NEVER EVER produce brightness boost--i've been using the rom since before it was released so i'm sure of this
--your power button may be worn and more susceptible to register a double press when it wasn't
2) smart lock works for me in every option--make sure you're not using some crappy third-party lockscreen app or lockscreen security app that could be interfering with this.
--also there is a slight bug where bluetooth devices that are paired are not remembered upon a power cycle--i'm working on this as i type
3) this must be where you are--i have no issues whatsoever regarding wifi or networks period. of course i have 1GB/min speeds on bad days, and 2GB/min speeds on good days so idk
Thanks for Sharing, and this is the correct way for people to voice their finds and opinions, so thank you for that

you're arguing about nothing--engineering builds (ie. lineage_idol347-eng) are the only build that will have su enabled for apps and adb by default
userdebug builds and user builds do not have this enabled by default--only adb root access is made available standard by the system in developer settings.
again, the freaking su is NOT MISSING. I chose to leave the system as it is, because that's how it's supposed to be, and your problems are just stupid childish whining because you don't how current android works.
if you want root, use superuser from recovery which again is standard operating procedure for everything after KitKat. why you can't get this through your thick ****ing skull is beyond me. you obviously are not a developer and have no business making any claims as to what is standard or what is the right way for a rom to work when you aren't building any and have no experience or even basic knowledge of how the build system works or the hundreds of security revisions that have been introduced since kk that make non-systemless rooting a vulnerability...

Yeah, it's most likely my button being worn out, because I had disabled the double press to open camera since it was randomly opening when I pressed the button, I just didn't know double press for brightness was a feature (it's a useful one actually)
2) smart lock works for me in every option--make sure you're not using some crappy third-party lockscreen app or lockscreen security app that could be interfering with this.

After every power cycle I get the notification to pair it and confirm that the codes match and on the bluetooth device itself I get a new 6039A device on the paired devices list after it happens, so it might be that issue you mentioned. (I attached a pic of how the devices list looks on the bluetooth device)

USB bug
After installing I cant transfer files from my device to pc.
In developer options you cant change the USB option from just charge to MTP, PTP or any other it stays in just charge
UPDATE: At the USB Configuration select MTP and keep touching the option to change it
NOTE: Enable Developer options before connecting the device for the first time to the pc

yes, i'm aware you can't change in developer options while it is not attached to pc,
and it bugs out sometimes when it's attached to pc
--this is a problem in the lineage source, not the device tree and therefore out of my control
--use the notification in the status bar to choose how you want the device to connect PTP, MTP, Charge only--this works perfectly and as expected

Somewhere along the way, CM/Lineage has messed with the Bluetooth stack in the source code, and there seems to be possibly some missing component service that needs to be running in order for fine location access to be given to bluetooth in order for it to work correctly, and this is also related to smart lock.
at this time, upon every reboot of your device, you will have to re-pair any bluetooth device you have used previously. auto-connect is broken in the bluetooth service stack somehow. also, your device is created anew each time it is rebooted due to a security measure enacted by google a while back that randomizes your bluetooth mac address so that your device location can't be sniffed by third-party apps. there's a whole long bulletin about it somewhere, but i guarantee this is why bluetooth auto-reconnect is broken after a power cycle.
i have discontinued all use of lineage 13 personally because of this reason alone.
i'll still be work on this rom though.
just don't expect a fix for bluetooth from me because it will have to come from upstream aosp and then made known to everyone.

[Bug] Official Oreo Quick Settings Panel

Hi,
After Oreo update, I noticed the following in the quick settings: before the update when clicking once for example on the WiFi toggle, it opened a secondary panel always inside the same place; now it just turns off/on the WiFi. This issue is not related to Android Oreo itself because Google Pixel phones work well. It's OxygenOS-related.
It seems we are loosing functionalities now...

I think this is what he meant because I have this behavior too. It's switching features on or off instead of showing additional options as it was on Nougat. I don't know if this is OOS "feature" or not.

It's there in most custom ROMs, most likely a feature. I've been waiting for it in an OOTB ROM.

I must say, I do definitely miss this. I have a wifi repeater in my house and have to often quickly change the wifi network. Sure, it adds a couple of extra seconds - not the end of the world. But, it's the same for WIFI and Bluetooth ( I use lots of Bluetooth devices too). I hope this gets added back in a future update.

Before it was single press in the fully open quick settings to change your wifi network without launching into the Settings UI. Now, it toggles if you press with it semi-open and fully open, and long-press opens the UI. Personally, I preferred it the way before, but I'm sure this is entirely subjective.
That's not the most annoying thing anyway, the folder layout on the stock launcher I just can't get used to. (I know that's been present for a while now, but I refrained from updating the launcher until this update forced it)

with this pie update (I updated by Xperia Companion) I got problems with the volume up button. In most cases, I can't increase the volume because the button doesn't activate the panel. With Android 8, all worked like a charm..

That's a pie thing, Google removed WPS support but plans to add it back in a future release (either 9.1 or 10): https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/79404939#comment10
Although WPS should stay removed as it's pretty unsecure.

-Xperia backup not working properly, doesn't backup to SD, stays at 0% and can't connect to online ac****. Google's backup works though.
-The navbar, the style is inconsistent, it should always be like it is in Album app, almost transparent, it looks very nice there. But sometimes its white, sometimes black.
I did flash the FW with flashtool and the 47.2 fsc a user provided here, because the newflasher method didn't seem to fully wipe and format my phone, all the app permissions stayed the same and some system settings, even before restoring the backup. And some tests in Service menu didn't work properly, they're fine now.

After the update, the notification sound starts before the ringtone when I receive a call. Someone could tell me if it's a setting I could'n find or a bug?

For me after update
1:Bluetooth auto connecting disconnecting after some time.
2:bettery care didn't work any more.
3:bettery drains faster then Orio.

I had the same problem. I can't remember what app was it but I will try to say it. When call comes don't answer it. Swipe down notification center and you will see something I think smart call or like this. I can't remember the name of app. Hold finger on it and option to turn notification off will appear. Turn it off.

Not only in waze, I'm having the same issue with different app, and is orribile when u use a dark mode or night mode.. And some trouble with smart backlight stop working... Version .306

I gotta say, I'm not having any of these issues.
Mines a g8142. Originally flashed to G8141 au firmware but discovered lower right speaker issue of low volume.
Flashed back to ce1 g8142. Everything working without a glitch. Just no VOLTE.
Are people doing a software repair via xperia companion after flashing? I find if I don't do it, I get issues.

I found temporary solution here:
talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z2/Transparent-or-semi-transparent-navigation-bar-ALL-apps-in/td-p/1000244#gref
"The app is named on the Google Play Store as GMD Full Screen Immersive Mode and its works very fine (tested personally). "
now I can hide navbar whenever without root

Received the OTA 47.2.A.2.33
The problem of the navbar seams solved

Falshtool automatically can download and flash the entire firmware with no modification. I did that. you can select all areas to erase and it works perfectly and also tells u which areas it didn't erase. And Next step once switched on - u can redo the RESET option in phone OR REPAIR option of Xperia COmpanion to make sure everything is installed and erased perfectly. Works.
Backup I havent tried, as I have all files stored on SD card or cloud.

Bluetooth no issues at all - I am on UK .33 ROM.
It connects in my CAR and to my Audio system all the time automatically and plays songs and calls uninterrupted. It also connects auto to my GPS.
In Oreo I had a problem with Bluetooth - on apple music whenever I hit play while connected to home audio system play used to stop immediately. I had to change the BIT rate in Developer menu. With Pie - no more of any issue. works all the time with no changes.
