My workaround for the camera bug is to install the Google Plus app and add the G+ widget to the home screen. The widget has an icon to take a picture, and it always uses the 8 MP resolution. So now I have a quick way to take a picture in either resolution I want: use the default camera app for widescreen pics and the G+ widget for 8 MP pics.

the Facebook app does this as well.

So does the Motorola Widget "Picture Frame Plus"...

thanks for the info everyone. Yes, disappointing that the camera resolution thing wasn't fixed. In fortunate that bluetooth is working fine in my car.

Biggest fix for me is the fact I'm going on 45 hours on this battery since I did a full charge (and a system wipe)...and I still have the blue bars and a data connection. My biggest issue has been fixed.

I haven't done much testing yet but it seems that the LED is now working in GoSMS.

I noticed that the camera app has - and + signs on the screen for zooming. I don't remember seeing this on .596 or prior versions of the camera app.

I installed the first morning, and still haven't lost my data connection! I was rebooting every 1-2 days previously due to that issue. If that's the only thing that was fixed, I'm a happy camper.

Prior to the update, longest uptime I had on Gingerbread was 1 day 14 hours. Right now, I'm at 5 days 8 hours, and haven't lost cell connection once. The camera thing is irritating a little (I'll try that G+ widget though), but the constant reboots every 36 hours and cell connection loss was beyond irritating. By the way, one time yesterday, I was looking at the screen, and the signal went from 3G to 1X to white bars like it used to do when it would lose cell connection. Before, only way to get it back was a reboot. This time, about 5 seconds after it went to white bars, it went back to blue and 3G. Looks like it's fixed!

You leave your phone on all the time? 128 hours seems odd.

This is not entirely accurate. This is the GB + .602 update merged. There is no official .596 to .602 change log out there yet.

What's odd about it? They're not talking about battery life. They're talking about the radio bug that kills the connection and requires a reboot to reestablish the connection.

Ah, misread that. Got it.

Yup, just uptime, not battery life. I never shut my phone off, I just plug it in every night. For battery life, I'm usually down to around 20% after 13-14 hours.

Anyone having issues getting WiFi to "work"? When I'm on wireless I can't pull any data (pictures on email, web browser, etc). I seem to get emails but that may be due to the wireless sleeping at the time.
