I've been playing with mine since Saturday now and have started to notice some issues.
1. Albums in the music player are not listed correctly. If i have an album by various artists it shows as a different album for each artist. My hero never used to do this.
2. When i charge the battery sometime it stops at around 90% and wont charge anymore until i unplug and plug it back in.
3. Friend stream is set to update every 2 hours but doesn't seem to. And i got no notifications from the Facebook app unless i manually refresh it.
Over all I'm please with the Desire, but I'm starting to think that maybe it was released too early, before all the bugs where ironed out.
Is anyone else having any of these issues?
Why do you think HTC released this phone only at T-mobile?
It's because they needed normal users to find out issues
One album for each artist sounds like you have a different "Album artist" on each track. Windows Media Center etc also shows it as different albums if the album artists are different, even though Album name is the same. I'm guessing that if you keep the "Artist"-tag as it is, and rename the "Album Artist"-tag to "Various Artists" or something like that using a tag editor, it will appear as one album.
I don't have a Desire yet, so can't confirm it, but I recently did a big job of fixing my entire music catalog to avoid this problem.
The problem with the Facebook app is a pain in the arse, it doesn't update whatever you set it too. Had the same problem on the Hero, so I assume it's the app itself.
Plus Friendstream is overated and lacks alot of features.
Can't wait to root and remove all of that crap, can't even uninstall the Facebook app.
I'm using the facebook app. Every message I get it updates. Friendstream I deleted and use the native applications. Albums work but only when they are labelled correctly. One of my albums didnt work, named it correctly and now its 100% fine.

What we mean by Facebook updates, is where it's suppose to notify you at the top of the screen...and it doesn't.
I HATE that there is no dedicated camera shutter button coz I'm vain and all so if I want to take a pic of myself sometimes I'll end up touching the screen when trying to press the trackball etc! It's damn hard holding the lower part of the phone where the trackpad is and press it if you wanna take pic of yourself lol

not sure wither its normal for AMOLED or not, but the OP saw it as an issue, so was wondering wither its his device fault or his eye is just more sensitive to take the "pink-ish-ness" of the screen

Right, I changed my wallpaper to this cloud-ish one and nope, no pinkish hue (normal brightness). Tried to max brightness, still no pinkish hue

Whats happened to thumbnail pictures here on XDA all of a sudden?
I click on a thumbnail that someone has posted to enlarge it and all that happenes is an annoying huge black box opens over the screen...
I have tried this on 2 different computers using 2 different browsers and same problem...
I do not get any blackbox, I get the image opened in a tab. (The preview feature with navigation is apparently gone, which frankly is a good thing, because it has been screwing the image quality in an incredible way).

I've got the same issue on IE.

SRWare Iron 13.0.800.0 (basically, Chromium v13 derivative).
This is still an issue today. I'm running IE8 and the thumbnail won't open up. This used to work, but now the screen goes dark gray (kind of like a privacy filter) and no larger image appears.
Im a huge Instagram user and I've been having a problem when snapping photos using Instagram.
Whenever I snap a picture, the photo will be cropped off 1/2 in on each sides thus ruining the composition. There are no issues on video though/
I'm currently on Omega v18 (stock rom based) and Im not sure if it's a ROM-specific problem or just issues of IG with the Note 2.
Can anyone else try this and see if after snapping a photo the final photo will get smaller or like zoomed in than whats showing in the viewfinder prior to snapping.
Thanks.
4.1 update doesny fix it.
Anyone kind enough to check? Im pretty sure most of you have Instagrams :/
No one has instagram to test this out?
No issues here, see.

Hi Chobie,
I have the same problem as you example. I took a pic of an apple, fit it into the whole pic and then when i snap, the end result is not what was seen before i snap. It sort of zoom in/cropped the photo such that you dont see the whole apple & the sides have been cut off. I'm also using Note 2 & i dont know when did this problem occurs. I searched all over the internet but it seems that no one is having that problem. My sister is using S4 but she doesnt have this problem.
Did you manage to fix it? I uninstall and install back the app, no help at all

Thanks. Nope still no fix for it. I even reverted back to stock ROM to see if it's a ROM problem but it produces the same problem.
I've reported bug to instagram's website so you can probably report it as well to escalate the problem.
Hi,
Yup. I emailed instagram. Hopefully they can advise..

Ugh. That's weird. I wonder what's wrong...
Happening to me as well. The only solution I could find was to disable the option to "Use Instagram's advanced camera" under "Advanced features". This way it uses the phones camera and then asks you to crop the photo on your own.
I hope they fix it soon.

I have the same problem. Samsung note 4. Stock Android OS. Instagram and an app called "paper camera" both have this issue.
I have the same problem too. I take a pic & it comes out all zoomed. I emailed IG but still no response. Anyone know how to fix camera zoom bug? I have S5
I have the same problem. Picture is zoomed after a picture is taken. Very frustrating. Clearing app data repairs the issued for just a while. Reported a problem to Instagram via in app feature. No response. I'm using Sony Z5, Android 7.0
9 Aug: Updated to Android 7.1.1. The problem still exists in Instagram. Very dissapointed. What's interesting - problem does not exist with a front camera. Has anybody found a solution?
Hey
The same things happening to my phone (Smasung S6) and I came to Google hoping to find a solution. It hasn't always been like this but now it won't go back and it only happens to instagram :/

I'm having this problem with Samsung Note8. Contacted Instagram, but these guys are not responding. That's a shame because I used Instagram frequently in the past.
I haven't seen this question answered anywhere. If we assume correctly that black crush is software issue, does it mean custom roms shouldn't have it? Has anyone who tried one can confirm that this is the case?
it isn't fixed in custom ROM's either man.

nope, but using the screen balance app will do the trick for now

Using another app to fix screen problems is not a good solution. This probably means that it's actual hardware issue, which is sad

Did you try playing a video with dark scenes? I barely had any issues with lockscreen, mainly on apps like youtube.
it's easier actually, just open a pic perfect black with something shiny/colored, and then zoom in and out, watch the black around that white/color. "works" for me on max brightness to replicate it.
the custom roms make it much less visible compared to miui though, and reducing the brightness to something sensible is always a good idea. on auto brightness i can't see it ever.
it's probably a hardware issue or smth in the display driver. but tbh it's not a big deal during every day use.

Yeah, it isn't a big issue or I would return it and buy the phone I wanted before this (Note 10 pro). But the fact is, there is an issue and it's sad that they allowed it to happen to upper midrange phone.

Anyone else noticed how Whatsapp video calls (using the selfie-cam of course) is really zoomed in? Found myself having to hold the phone quite far from my face to achieve the normal framing, as otherwise my usual distance means my entire face is the persons screen that I'm calling!
It'd be great to change the zoom and maybe even utilise the stock cam for the wide angle option, but realise this is likely not possible?
Does using the volume keys change that while in the call?

Hmm unsure, I don't think so but I'll be having a video call later so will test. Do you feel it may do?
It's a known thing that others have brought up as well.. not sure if it's a bug or anything
Just to update: realised this is now fixed and WhatsApp video call is no longer zoomed in.

Hi, I have the same issue with my Pixel 6 and it is still not resolved for me. Could you confirm if the new Pixel update resolved it for you? All the video calling apps including WhatsApp and Duo still have zoomed-in blurry videos with washed-up colors for me. Thanks.

Hey.
I actually noticed this was fixed before the Dec update. So I'm unsure whether this was fixed in the mid-Nov update or though thinking about it, perhaps it's a Whatsapp app fix rather than Pixel fix.
I had logged the error with Whatsapp and note you have the Pixel 6 and not 6 Pro, so I'd advise raising it with them.
It's great though just to say, feels good to not have to hold the phone so far away from my facew just so the other person doesn't get my ugly mug filling up their entire screen lol
It's definitely not fixed, I have the latest Dec update on my pixel 6 and what's app video call is still zoomed into my face n blurry.

Grrr weirdly after the Dec it's back to being zoomed!!!
I swear guys it was fine and now it's not, so I'm clueless as to what origin of this problem is.....
Update: reported it via the built-in method within the app (last time I just emailed them) which sent logs and device info however because I'm rooted they said it's unsupported.
Perhaps someone unrooted with this issue could report...

Same here. I'm on
SQ1D.211205.016.A4
This also happened with the November build.
Probably the fractional zoom levels offered by the P6 cameras. A *lot* of software can't zoom out less than 1.0 and needed updates.
I'm not rooted and I'm in the Dec update on my pixel 6. I've sent the logs through to what's app so hopefully they reply back
Hi has anyone found a fix for this yet? I'm on the newest 220205.004 build and this problem still persists.
**Update: Joined the Whatsapp beta test program and can confirm the zooming issue has been fixed! So it appears it's been a Whatsapp issue all along and not a Pixel issue. If you're not part of the beta test and don't want to be, then I guess waiting until the new update comes out will be your best solution.
I can confirm the issue is fixed for me running WhatsApp Beta.

Not exactly. Its actually silly for the "back at you" camera to have a fractional zoom level. It doesn't actually zoom out, 1:1 ratio is zoomed *in* a bit.
It does make some sense on the "away from you" camera, since there are 3 separate sensors and the MAIN sensor is defined as 1:1.
