I hope that my problems with my Spica/Lite/Portal are just down to it having 1.5 and the 2.1 update will solve everything but at the moment its really starting to frustrate me.
It all started great. Was a fantastic, fast, responsive phone. But now its slow, unresponsive and generally a pain to use.
Take unlocking for example - why is there not an option to switch the screen off but not lock the phone? I'll try to unlock it by holding the button on the side but nothing happens. I've set it up with a pattern unlock too, so sometimes that will flash up then the screen will go blank. Other times I'm holding the lock button for ages and nothing happens.
Its beginning to be really slow in running apps. I was trying to make a phone call before for instance. I pressed dial and nothing happened. Pressed it again and nothing happened. Then all of a sudden it wurred into life and dialled the number I'd called, then, because I pressed diall twice, it stuck the first call on hold and dialled the same number on the "second line". It does stuff like this frequently. Even browsing through the menu is becoming tedious!
Force close: nearly every app I run at the moment is being forced closed. Even basic functionality like dialler or contacts! I have no idea why!
As I said, originally I really loved this phone, but the mind of its own it has developed over the past couple of weeks is really beginning to piss me off.
I'm tempted to upgrade to 2.1 via Odin, but I'd rather wait and do it the official way in case of a warranty claim later on but I'm not even sure if 2.1 will cure the problems.
So frustrating!!!!
