I'm seeing many users notice different little bugs with the phone (me included) and instead of having multiple threads about it, maybe we can all post it in one place where later the devs can see it and work on them once the phone is rooted etc.. Good idea/bad idea? I come from an Evo 4g with Sense rom so I wonder how many of these might not really be "bugs" but just a different user experience.
I'll start..
Accu weather app not updating location automatically
apk files downloaded from the computer and then transferred to phone are not showing up (unknown sources, usb debugging checked)
No function when touching the clock widget. It does not launch me to alarm, world clock, time etc menu. Maybe this is just a touchwiz thing as I mentioned above, I come from a sense rom.
So far those are the ones on top of my head. As I use the phone more, I'm sure I'll spot more (hope not!).
Anyone else?
Phone dialer issues
I have to reboot my phone from time to time to make a call.
It just says call ended when i try to call out.
When i reboot it works fine for a few hours.
Mentioned above plus the following so far (except reboot for calling issue):
No landscape mode using TW (auto-rotate enabled)
Red LED only available notification color (REALLY?!)
Skype video calling is upside down when using in portrait mode.
Also, phone call is automatically in Speaker mode when calling after making a Skype video call.
*Occasional phone FREEZES. As in, one minute it is okay, and the next minute, you have to do a battery pull. Happened twice since I got it on launch day.
*Browser closing for no reason. Happened 4 times since launch day.
*When plugged in with Samsung charger, phone's screen will act real glitchy
*SWYPE does not work properly, no matter the settings. Have to type normally.
That's all the software bugs I've experienced. Hardware-wise, there are reports of problems with data, 3G, 4G, and WIFI....I haven't seen any word on Bluetooth yet.

Go exchange your phone -- sounds like a lemon. No other real complaints about freezing or auto-closing apps.

Actually, other's have experienced auto-closing apps and freezing. It's in a thread around here or at sprintusers.com, I forget which.
For the first three days I couldn't get data while roaming though the proper settings were checked. Sprint customer care reset my phone and after an hour of waiting it works.
All else its great (except for the above oddities with Touch Wiz) though I haven't checked GPS after encrypting the device.

Can you elaborate on this issue?
Also, anyone else having similar issues, please chime in.
Are you seeing a circle with a slash through it (no service) when this happens?
Can you receive calls when this happens?
Do you lose 4G or WiFi? Or is it just Voice/3G?
Does it seem to happen sometime after making a call/text (~30min), or any other pattern you've noticed?
Are you rooted?
If yes, what kernel (zedomax or tanimn/shabbypenguin - trying to narrow down an issue with one of the current root kernels)?
Exchange Appt. Notification Bug
I have had multiple reminders pop up for from my Exchange calendar and i can't seem to dismiss or snooze them from the notification bar. The snooze and dismiss buttons are available but are non responsive. The only way I can get rid of the notification is with the "Clear" button which is for all notifications. Has anyone else noticed this?

I know this may sound silly, and you may have already checked this, but check your language settings. I've read about some owners that were having problems with Swype discovered that their language was set to Spanish.
Also, on the LED notifications only being Red, I've been playing with an App called Light Flow. I've at least been able to change the notification colors to Blue using this App. Also, the App lets you use "White" as a color, which still shows a Red light, but blinks very fast if some of you prefer a faster blinking light.
I have had the roaming data issue as well. It does eventually work for me though, but on once occasion it took 10 minutes before data turned on after the roaming started. I will try calling Sprint as well.
Wifi signal is bad.. but speedtest says otherwise. I think the issue is with the amount of bars displayed and not the actual signal. I was standing 5 fee fromt he router and still didn't have full bars.
Ive been having problems today with dropping data connection. Toggling 4G off and on seems to restore it even in no 4G areas. I guess it resets the radio or something?

Just got this phone friday. So far the only bugs I am experiencing are roaming in places my evo got coverage and the security draw pattern having a mind of its own making it very hard to unlock the screen. Also the wifi reception is noticeably weaker than my evo

Ive done that already and it didnt help. Thanks, tho.
Luckily, no freezes or crashes here (knock on wood).
what i HAVE noticed is the rotate bug, for instance
when rotating the phone for texting or browsing, you have to kind of
bring it up to your chest @ about a 90 degree angle in order for it to rotate.
calibrated it all correctly & i still have to do that.
this is my first phone from the Epic/Galaxy company so im not sure if that was a problem in the original Epic 4g (non-touch) but it sure is kind of annoying :/
hopefully the dev's can tweak the gyro or SOMETHING.
Poor Wifi/3g Signal
Noticed lower bars on both wifi and 3g...when in same spot on my Evo 4g I had more...might be just how many bars its displaying and not the actual signal...but not for sure...actually went into roaming a few times when with my Evo 4g I never did (even with roaming was set to automatic...now I have it set to sprint only)
Hello. Has anyone tried updating through Kies? I tried and it says that this version of software cannot be updated. I just got my phone today. I did have problems installing the drivers. After I let it install say one or two drivers, one would error out. Once I unplugged it a few times and then plugged it back it, all of the drivers installed.
I hope this doesn't mean that Samsung is not going to upgrade to ICS or else I am taking this back. I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7" and it won't allow updating with rooting. Thanks for any input and have a great day/night!

I noticed this too.
you have to check the check boxes next to the calender item. This is deceptive because the boxes have checks in them. But they should be green and not grey.
hope that helps
This is like my third thread in this forum. There are a lot of bugs on my device that are literally driving me crazy!
I've had this device since december and I was so impressed. I rooted and themed my phone completely about 2 months ago and everything has been golden.
Recently I've had these bugs/issues and its really annoying.
1.) Call drops as soon as I go to make a call. Usually happens at the worst times when I really need to use the phone. Also sometimes when I make a call it says please turn off airplane mode when I NEVER turned off airplane mode to begin with. Its like 50/50 as to which problem occurs.
2.) Call forwarding automatically turns on randomly. Phone is in my pocket, I look at it and it has the call forwarding icon in the notification bar. I go to turn it off and it allows me to, but it will not let me disable it forever. Says my carrier does not allow it or something. (this never happened before)
3.) Forgets voicemail number. I get a voicemail and in the notification is says "voicemail number unknown". I change it manually in the settings and its fine for a few days, then happens again.
Does anyone have any clue wtf is going on and how to fix these bugs?
Use a stock rom

Hey,
First of all I am a new member here on XDA forums and that is why I am asking you guys here since I really can't post on the actual ROM threads.
But anyway, what are the known bugs for the VJ CM10.1 Jelly Bean 4.2.2 ROM?
I am currently having problems with the ring tone and the loudspeaker option. Ring tone for the notification for Messaging does not play when I have received a message, I still have no idea why it is doing that.
As for the loud speaker, after a while it toggles off the loud speaker. It usually occurs when the display goes to sleep; I am not sure if it is supposed to turn the display off while on a call.
Thank you in advance.
Version 5.4.1 seems to have fixed notification sound and soft reboot issue. If you're on older version, suggest you to upgrade.
Other than that stock camera flickers (you can open, close and re-open to fix this) or use any alternatives from play store. Video recording is choppy.
Everything else should be fine as far as I know.
I flashed this rom yesterday, after three months with Nikez's JB. It's great.
I don't have problem with notification sounds, volume or whatever. But I just had the infamous "SIM added. Restart your device etc..." bug.
If you can deal with it (I can), it's a great ROM.
I have a call delay problem, I need to wait for 1 to 5 sec before start talking. Sometimes notification bar gets stuck, it starts working again after a while, but once I waited for more than 1h and decided to reboot phone. Also menu sometimes doesn't show up for random period of time.
That is all I noticed for now. I use 5.4.1.
One more bug - sometimes data access over mobile network doesn't work. I try to switch on, but do not get any network availability. Calls/SMS work, but there is no Internet connectivity. When I select automatic automatic network selection, then Internet starts to work imediateley.
Anyhow, this ROM is awesome! Thanks VJ!
codecs?
My First Post... Iuppy
After using CyanogenMod 7 and a infinity loop, I decided to use this ROM, and ... is working like a charm. However some videos that worked in CM7 are not working here. Had to install MX Player. Have I missing something or do I need to install some codecs? Even the preview on gallery are not working for some videos.
Pedro
I noticed when someone calls me its silent delay for like few seconds caller cant hear me and reverse.
Is this problem for all JB Roms or just on CM ,because i noticed that on AOKP to.
I am having problems with Clock location and also with downloading language pack for swype.
Use the thread in general section that VJ opened to discuss this. You'll get better responses.
Or even better, post in the main thread in the dev section.

Download CallDelayPatch?
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app
I'm running AOKP Toro JB MR1 milestone 2 on VZW. I use rocket dial for my dialer. It seems this is a recurring process. I flash the ROM install my favorite apps, things are snappy and new for a while and then slowly the phone regresses further and further into a lagging and frustrating experience speed wise. Button presses take longer and longer to register in all apps, looking up names in rocket dial takes 2-3 seconds for each button press to register and sort the contact names by each additional character. What usually breaks it for me and forces me to reflash etc. is the call performance. It will take 10-20 seconds or more to connect a call once i hit the dial button before i start to hear the ringing tone. If i'm already on a call and have an incoming call on call waiting, when i try to switch over i instantly hear very loud static that starts and stops every 1-2 seconds and then the phone drops both calls. When this starts to happen i get frustrated and try to reflash the ROM. How can i determine what is causing these issues and eliminate the culprit? Is it too many apps taking up some specific kind of memory in the device, or is it a specific app that may be causing it. I just don't know of any way to do performance testing and drill down to the root cause. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you for your time.
So.. i have had a weird problem for quite awhile now but have been putting up with it..
When on a voice call when the screen goes off it will mute the mic, leaving the other person asking if i am there.. i have to shake the phone or hit the power button a bunch. It also doesn't wake up instantly when that happens, almost like its in a deep sleep. I don't have any battery saver apps or anything installed....
I am using CM11 right now with FL24 modem, i have tried other modems.. same issue.. This issue also happened on other roms incluing vanir and others...
I did a search and found one other person with the same exact issue.. but no fix posted, was hoping someone might have an idea on how to figure this out.. thanks..
Experiencing Similar Problem
I've been experiencing a similar issue for a bit over a month, too. I'm not quite sure if it was when the screen went off, but certainly within 15 seconds of making or receiving a call my mic cuts off. It sometimes comes back after -- I don't know if that's because I shake the phone around or otherwise get the screen to come on, although the mic turning back on and the screen turning back on do not happen at the same time.
I'm also on CM11 with FL24 modem on a Samsung Epic 4G Touch, which makes me suspect it's the same problem. Do you have a link to the other forum post?
I suspect it's a relatively recent regression with CM, because I installed CM11 on the phone at the end of October and everything was fine. I first started experiencing the issue a few weeks thereafter. I can't recall if it happened after upgrading CM, or if It was after I installed Google Voice (since removed,) or if there was no particular prompt.
