Help Moment 2.1 Update Thread

[kiddk1]

just wanted to say that

 

[Radical-J]

Sorry to hear that, but it raises a good question. I use Astro to backup apps. Could someone check if Astro is available/works on 2.1?

Yes it works and I used it a couple of times already.

Also all the downloads that I paid for were still in the MyDownloads section.

Been running it since noon with no problems at all. Everything seems snappier, but it's probably just my imagination. The auto-sync with yahoo mail sure is nice though.

Can you explain more what you mean with this comment "auto-sync with yahoo mail sure is nice though"?

What is auto-sync with yahoo mail? Reason why I am asking is that I use yahoo mail.

[Radical-J]

stupid question but do I have to have cl14 update to do 2.1, I never installed cl14.

I say this is the only way I would do it(I did it this way) because it adds Sprints new recovery utility.

Get Astro File Manager and back up all your apps or use App Dragon to email a list to yourself of all your installed apps so you can re-download them(I did both). Also all purchased apps are still in the Market section of My Downloads

 

[mjnoles1]

Well good, let them fix all the bugs that the leaked version had before the official release is out. Lets wait a little longer for a bug free device.

 

[Zumaki]

It's only 9am central time. You're being a little impatient.

 

[JPD]

...sigh...

 

[Zumaki]

*squeals like a girl*

That looks fantastic.

 

[Magnuslol]

Have someone tried this on Samsung Galaxy Spica? I am wondering if it will make the phone slower, like the updates did on iphone?

Does anyone have reasons to not change or change to 2.1? Should i change?

Didn't read all postes so don't shoot me if some one asked before me. (Also first post btw!)

 

[ABH]

how did the batterly life go for u guys?

No real change on the battery life front. Mine still lasts about 36 hours with moderate usage.

 

[p2theg77]

So Android Market doesn't work in DD23? Do streaming music apps work? I'm using DD03 and everything works for the most part except streaming music apps and protected apps.

So, are you a beta tester or did you get the leaked version days ago and refuse to share? BTW, the only way my Moment lasts 36hrs on a charge is if I keep it turned off.

My battery wasn't full when I flashed the ROM, so I'm estimating. I'll get a better test now that I started from a full battery this morning.

Edit - and that's to completely dead battery.

 

[duratime]

I'm experiencing random severe battery drains. I'll look at it an be like at 80%, then 15 minutes later be at 15%, with no calls or text messages. I took the phone off the charger at 6:30 this morning, and took one 5 minute call, lost 20% by 7:15. Any ideas?

 

[Eazail70x7]

It's just a bit different, go to Contacts, then Menu and instead of Edit Contact, use Options. You'll find assign Ringtone and Direct to Voicemail options there.

Few things I am frustrated with are default browser and how very zoomed out initial page loads are, have to double tap zoom every page and doesn't save that. YouTube cannot play any videos anymore for some reason. And dang service tones still. Otherwise, been enjoying it. Default email is waaay better and actually deletes emails I tell it to, and more options on programs from the market is a huge plus.

Does the browser still have the little 4 arrow icon at the bottom right so you can get the magnifying glass viewer square?

 

[SlyFerret]

Any chance we can get you to clean up the formatting so that your post is legible?

[Eazail70x7]

Keep em coming

P.S. I see the wallpapers have been eating at your battery? (Saw the widget lol)

 

[dwolf312]

Nope when you change pages it basically is like the magnifying glass well the zoom anyway then you just double tap to zoom where you want on the page ;/ , as far as youtube I only have problems when they are standard if I switch to hd quality they work fine.

Not to my knowledge. I've tried Opera, Dolphin and now on XScope (which seems to have the most promise). Another thing that seems to be happening is there may be a tie-in now to the three indicator lights (Home, Back & Menu) and Keyboard lights. These now stay on during change activity quite a bit longer, and are less responsive to finger presses when they are on vs off. Also, SDCard sounds (plug in and unplug) do not turn off anymore. Once it's optioned, I can't seem to stop them, always plays notification sounds. If I uncheck it, I do not get a sound when plugging in USB cord, but still get notification sound when unplugging. When optioned on, I get sounds for both plugin and plugout.

I've been running 2.1 with live wallpapers, N1 drawer and root since it came out on SDX. I agree 100% with this statement.

It's definitely nice, but you'll be much more happy waiting to see if they fix some of the bugs it has before it goes out.

 

[LincKraker]

actually a full day of playing with my phone at work after not really charging it the day before caused my battery being so low..

I took my phone off the wall charger at about 8:45am est now its 11am now phone is saying 80% after making one 5min phone call and 3 or 4 text messages.

 

[Eazail70x7]

Is there anyway to keep that magnifying icon that I have now? I love it...

Is there an apk or anything for it? Its really useful for long threads like this. Also, How close can you zoom in, cause I don't like small letters

How are you switching or choosing Hi-Q on YouTube?

 

[Eazail70x7]

Cool. And thats even with Live Wallpapers running too? If so thats good
