I absolutely adore, love, feel inappropriate things for this phone - so the below are niggles I'll learn to cope with. Unless I don't have to *hopeful*.
1) Often, when I go into the underground (I think that's the cause, anyway), it forgets my time zone - and I get an alert requesting I set it myself. Not a biggy - just strikes me as a tad strange that it should not wait till above ground and check, or something.
2) Sometimes text messages take a while (as in a few seconds) to send (for no obvious reason) - if it doesn't send instantaneously, I get message failed to send beeps and buzzes notifications repeatedly till it does. This starts (when it happens) from a split second after I've pressed 'Send'. About 10 seconds later, it'll go silent and work successfully - but it is an irritating bout of madness - particularly as it seems to be so busy alerting me to its failure to send that it can't get around to sending it.
3) The voice to text thing is nice, but a bit of a gimmick - doesn't seem to get punctuation, or much of what I say correct - and I don't have an accent that's particularly unintelligible (I'm verging on RP, for goodness sake). For example: 'To be fair,' got written as 'Theresa'. It also sometimes gives a network error - do you have to be connected to the network for this to work?
4) Maybe my thumbs are fat, but I keep putting full stops instead of spaces - this drives me mad. *sigh* I've tried calibrating it, but no love.
5) I've put in the nice gallery app instead of the photo one that came with it - looks a lot better, but I've lost the ability to share via messages - it's got everything but (peep, facebook, twitter, email, flikr, google goggles etc - just no messaging!).
6) On the same thing 'Everything but' - I'd like it just to have Facebook, twitter, email and messaging as options - I'm never going to use the rest to share - is there a way to show fewer options?
7) Because it comes with twitter and peep, and I'm using twitter, I seem to get dual notifications - even though I set peep only to update manually. Is it possible to remove the program from the phone altogether? Should one remove the program - can things that came with the phone be redownloaded if necessary?
8) Is this a network provider issue or a phone one - sometimes it really objects to sending mms messages, giving errors like: "unable to send message. Retrying. Invalid response received" - they send eventually, after about 15mins. [O2] - Weirdly, I got this several times, then I got a response from my friend showing he'd got it, then I got the same error again, as if it had not sent! :S
Sometimes it'll send fine, no problems. I don't change settings, yet this occurs...
9) I'm clumsy. I have a thickish silicone case. Should I worry about how much warmer it makes the phone?
10) - that's it, for now - I had a couple more, but my mind's gone blank...
