So, I've had 1.5 since the day the Eris was released. Last night I got the OTA, and for the most part everything is ok. However, there are a couple things I got used to and don't feel like I could live without at this point, and I'm wondering how to set these things up using 2.1 now. Some other things are also bothering me, and maybe some of you can help with those issues, as well.
1. Most important/annoying issue: I had been using Spare Parts so that I could hit my "End" button to either take me Home, then lock my screen when anywhere on the phone, or to just lock the screen when already Home. That functionality is completely lost. How do I reconfigure this, and how am I supposed to lock the phone besides letting it auto-lock? This seems liek a huge oversight.
2. I had been using the No Call Log app so that when a call ended, it shot me right back to my home screen. The app still works, but now it takes waaaay long to go back to home, making it completely useless. Any ideas/alternatives?
3. When I have the Doggcatcher podcast app playing, now I get both a notification bar icon for the Doggcatcher player which is fine and I use, as well as something called "Doggcatcher keep-alive" with the subtitle "playing audio" which is a little soundwave icon...what is this, and how do i get rid of it? I dont need two notification icons for this, and it wasn't like this on 1.5.
4. The Music app is significantly slower, both to load, and when responding to presses and volume changes. Really, really annoying. Any ideas here?
5. Finally, when I hit the back button in Google Voice, it takes me Home, but then really quickly back to my inbox...I have to use the Home button to actually go and stay Home...is this a 2.1 bug?
Thanks for any and all help.
