Help Bugs on JB2 (Android 1.6)

[mrqs]

6. Android use of only .ogg files for notifications and alerts is annoying. Most other o/s allow for mp3 and wav.

android allows for mp3 (and wav +others?) as well, just create folders called "alerts", "notifications" and "ringtones" and the audio files inside will appear in the respective categories (reboot needed afaik)

or you could get an app (i use tonepicker) that lets you use any audio file as a ringtone/alert/notif regardless of its location

anyone had any problems with the camera on 1.6? it seems to take pictures (ie. flash goes off, and it makes the "click" sound) but instead of the pic showing up in the gallery instead an icon appears with an "x" on it and the image won't display.

i'm using I7500XXJB2

thanks mrqs. will try the folders. where would you place them, on the internal SD or external SD drive? (and I'll try tonepicker as well)

 

[mrqs]

i've got my notifications folder on the external sd, tho' i think it should work on the internal as well (or even subdirectories?)

forgot to mention, when you have audio files in those folders, they won't show up in the music app anymore, which makes sense for short notifications and stuff

 

[inFECT]

yes, it works. I have dirs for alarm/ringtone/notification on the internal and no problems at all.

I had really bad battery life for a week or two after installing 1.6. Getting the complete opposite now, getting through 3-4 days with half battery life left when I usually recharge. Haven't used the market for a while though, not sure if I want to now.

Did you installed Apps manually during this time?

Did you installed Apps manually during this time?

I installed the alt HTC Keyboard manually, all other app installs were via the market (and two of my own dev apps via eclipse).

 

[inFECT]

so you used the market/packet installer while archiving this uptime?

I'am asking because i pinpointed the sleep issue down to app installer.
The bug showed up only when i was installing new apps.

I'am curious about this, because it makes not really sense. At least not yet

You've lost me

You've lost me

hehe

....getting through 3-4 days with half battery life left when I usually recharge. ... Haven't used the market ...

The question is: Did you used the Market or installed an app during this 3-4 days?

 

[gastr]

sorry to bump this question from earlier... i take it everybody's camera is working fine and it's just me? :-(

Pretty sure I didn't.
Still getting super duper battery usage...
Staying clear of the market for now.

hw fault? have you tried flashing back and trying it on your previous firmware, which you know it worked on?

 

[michael.nights]

Just noticed: if you disable the auto sync via power widget, it also disable the background Data settings.

It's kinda annoying since i have this always on for the market. Dunno if its a bug or intended, but its strange having always the sync icon activated at the homescreen, even that you dont have the autosync on.

Edit:

Wifi is spamming my Log. (while enabled) (It works, so also not really bug. just annyoing too *g*)

E/wpa_supplicant( 1538): wpa_driver_priv_driver_cmd LINKSPEED len = 4096
E/wpa_supplicant( 1538): wpa_driver_priv_driver_cmd LinkSpeed 54 len = 1
E/wpa_supplicant( 1538): wpa_driver_priv_driver_cmd RSSI len = 4096
E/wpa_supplicant( 1538): wpa_driver_priv_driver_cmd C3P0 rssi -50 len = 34, 34

...

I have the same problem! But doesn't this also drain our batteries?
Could it be related to router settings?

 

[inFECT]

Well. the Wifi is going into standby properly while inactive. Iam still not sure if its need more juice while active with flooding the logs.

I got the same problem... I have 3 images in the gallery with error icon (Square with small triangle with exclamation mark in it)... They simply open as black screen.

no point discussing JB2 now that JC4 is out.
