I've had my Moment for about 2-3 weeks now. Overall I love the phone, and do not regret getting it. My bug/fix list would include (in order of annoyance level):
# 1.) Battery application does not accurately reflect charge. My phone goes from 100% to 80% almost immediately after disconnecting from charger. Within 2-3 hours, it hits the dreaded <15% mark. At that point, my phone is good for another 3-15 hours of texting, Pandora, Navigation, phone calls. Perhaps the 15% notification message should come with an audio clip of Star Trek's Scotty saying "I'm giving it all she's got Cap'n, she can't take much more!!!", because at that point, we all know that there was in reality plenty more to give.
#2.) Mandatory screen dim and keyboard backlight shutoff at <15%. Thats a whole lot'a hours (point #1) to be forced into going with a reduced functionality phone... make that nearly non-functional if you are outside 'cause at reduced brightness you will not be able to read the display at all.
#3.) 911 Multi-Autodial. - If you are not having to 'sign on' your phone by drawing a pattern, it's not an issue for you. BUT if you enable phone security, it works like this: Press the CallEnd button to activate phone. Press MENU button to unlock. Did your finger accidentally slide the 1/4 inch to the red "Emergency Call" button that just suddenly appeared? or were you opening the keyboard while you pressed the MENU button (seems to trigger 911 dial as well)? That friendly voice on the other end will be asking you "What is your emergency?" Google it - LOTS of people with this compaint! I had made my first 911 call within an hour of getting the phone. What really annoys me is that there is NO VERIFICATION process before it dials. Give me a keypad to dial 911 or at least ask me if I am sure, but to blindly autodial 911 because your finger slid against this 911 button is plain dumb and ties up 911 services needlessly. Oh yeah, you are given a second chance to autodial 911 if you included the bottom middle 'dot' in your password pattern.
#4.) Device Security - I have disabled the pass-pattern because of 911 autodial and not wanting to make nuisance calls to 911 that I could be charged for. Even if that were not the case, I find the pass-pattern a very bad way to do security. Mathematically, even if you use all 9 dots in your pattern (and had some way to remember what is in essence a random squiggle), there are far fewer possibilities than with even a number only password. Also, Let ME decide how long before the password kicks in (30 min/60 min, etc) and don't force me to enter a password after every time the phone goes to sleep (which could be as little as 30 seconds!) - activating any sort of password EVERY time the phone goes to sleep is a bad security practice that will get most people to just diasble security altogether! Let me TYPE a passphrase into the phone that is secure AND easy to remember.
#5.) Bluetooth bugs. These are acknowledged by Sprint and allegedly being worked on. In the case of my 2010 Prius, The phone sometimes decided to connect, and sometimes decides that it is not on speaking terms with my car. Oh, and the BT speech recognition feature stopped working after I applied the Sprint Patches to my phone. All the wonderful reasons why BT made my phone safer to use while driving are canceled out if I have to fiddle with my phone to get Bluetooth working again. "Honest officer! I wasn't texting - I was just trying to get Bluetooth to work so I could use my phone SAFELY!"
I am hoping that Battery Conditioning will at least help the battery app correctly identify remaining charge. I have also been very vocal about posting these issues on sprint/samsung sites. I still like my moment, and am hopeful that these issues get addressed. In particular, I would never want to be dependent on my Moment in any situation where I am more than a few hours away from a charger.
This is why if you try to boot Vol UP + Call + End the phone gets all screwy.. it tries to use the recovery kernel in bml8 and there isnt one there
