Guest JackDupp Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Is anyone else having issues which orientation? 95% of the time its fine, but then I'll be using the browser or market (and other apps) and it will turn to portrait when being held landscape. If I then turn it to portrait it will revert the screen to landscape. It's really frustrating. A reboot seems to fix for a small amount of time and then the issue returns. Is this problem known? Yes, I'm having the same orientation lock issue. I also still have the slow GPS. Everything definitely feels quicker in v2 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jnovello Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 (edited) I'm sorry to hear all the gripes, but I have to say this is the best yet. Today is the first day in 3 months that I woke up and my Streak was still almost fully charged. As a test I left it on with wifi on as well sure it would be dead, but it was not. Every night I had been putting it in airplane mode and still 1 or 2 days it would be dead after a full charge. I have seen the G sensor issue, but only on first boot. GPS takes a minute to lock, but are we aware that this little device is trying to locate satellites above the planet....in space.....? A week ago we were complaining about the O2 spash screen and now we're eating Froyo......I'm just saying.

Guest outsidah Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 I am loving Froyo on the Streak, thanks so much Steve. One thing though that I just found today... it seems call waiting isn't working? People call me and if I'm on a call I get no notification anyone is trying to reach me. On their end it sounds like the phone is ringing. Anyone else have this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MrMediaGuy Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 You can't get it right now. Stephen isn't interested in it. :) A) You have to live with it. :D Get something similar from the market C) Revert back to 1.6 / 2.1 I've decided on A. :) Someone else may come up with it sooner than Dell/Qisda but I wouldn't hold your breath :) Indeed, don't get too attached to the old 1.6/2.1 launcher -- it will be gone in the official Dell 2.2 release as well. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Be Vigilant Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 I flashed the first beta by flashing\modding the baseband. So reverted to 2.1 then back to the new 2.2. All went fine. Only bug so far is that I cannot install my swype. It force closes all the time. Worked fine on 1.6 and 2.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mrmrmrmr Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 I noticed there was no RSS widget as had been included in Dell 2.1 and 1.6 roms. Was that just included by Dell or is this rom missing it for some reason? Can anyone list the apps/widgets/features that we miss on Froyo because it does not have Dell modifications ? The ones that I know: - Dell Notification bar - RSS widget - Outlook tasks - Outlook notes - PC Sync - Dell launcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HoTdiGiTi Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 A good point - I didn't do the baseband route and apart from the occasional g sensor misread and the camcorder recording settings, I've had no problems. I wonder if its a case of different expectations? for instance my GPS locks in about 45- 60seconds after a reboot and within about 5 seconds on each subsequent try. Personally I think that's ok. I did both methods first the baseband method then the zip. Obviously had to flash back to 2.1 again as i had no cell info. Then quickly went back to the baseband way. The only probs i have is camera records all in 3gpp, sometimes orientation goes wayward and reboots sometimes during charging. No battery issues only when i left gps wifi on and had poor reception went down quickly. So gonna stick with this build i think :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
