AT&T Galaxy S2 - 2.3.6
1) Battery full notification - There must be some very vindictive people working for Google since I can't, for the life of me, see how this got past QA testing. At least give us the option to turn it off!
2) Alarm clock - At night, I regularly set an alarm for sometime in the morning. This phone should be smart enough to AUTOMATICALLY set it for the next day if the time the alarm is set for has already past. What does it do? Sets the alarm for a week from now!
3) Email - I receive some automated notifications that don't contain a subject line. Apparently, the built-in email app gets confused when there's no subject because it just keeps the subject of the previous email I had open. If I receive an email because I am part of a dist. group I can only reply to the sender. I want to be able to reply to the sender AND the dist. group (reply to all). Navigating (reading and deleting) email is generally slow (even with only sync'ing last two weeks emails).
4) Battery percentage - I would rather see it than a graphical indication - instead I have to go 3 deep in a menu.
5) MMS pictures - STOP WITH THE SLIDESHOW! I receive tons of pictures via MMS. Even when I receive multiple pictures I usually don't want to view them as a slideshow - but I am forced to...with no way to turn it off.
For the battery full notification I have tried 'battery silencer'. It does silence the sound/vibrate but it still lights up (my room) when it hits 100%.
For the MMS slideshow I tried 'Handcent MMS' but it still just gives me slideshows.
For the email probs I tried 'Touchdown' but it was buggy and regularly locked up.
I REALLY want to like this phone but it is making it difficult. I shouldn't have to load a bunch of apps to fix things that I consider bugs. I don't want to root my phone. If anyone has any other suggestions to try I'd appreciate it.
