I have started this thread so we can share all bugs and solutions. If you have a problem, post it and hopefully someone will reply with a fix.
Here are a list of bugs that I am aware of
1) Phone from Etotalk/Etowalk comes with an etotalk google account already entered.
Solution : Settings -> Privacy Settings -> Factory data reset. Then reboot and enter your own account. This does NOT remove any apps.
2) SMS messaging not working.
Solution : At first mine did not work at all. So I removed the messaging app from home screen then put it back again and it worked OK (not a reinstall, just removed icon then put it back)
3) SMS messaging showing phone number instead of contact.
Solution : Add 2 numbers for each contact, 1 without international code and 1 with. There may be a better solution, I hope someone can provide more info
4) You need to switch mobile data off to use wifi, and vice versa.
Solution : ?
On other android phones this switches automatically, can it be done on the U960?
5) Get random freezes which can only be fixed by removing battery.
Solution : ?
I think this means I need to install a new ROM and baseband images, are the later ones more stable or do they still ahve the odd freeze?
6) Flash player does not work, or if it does I have not seen it work! Every time I go on a site and try to play a flash video the browser crashes, either stock browser or Dolphin HD. I have not tried to reinstall this yet, I will try soon and report back unless someone provides solution before I get chance...(on 64kb per sec data at the moment until start of next month with no wifi access)
Solution : ?
7) Bluetooth a bit quirky. Need to unpair then pair with my headphones sometimes to get a connection. Also will not talk to in car bluetooth to FM radio kit. This is only a Mono bluetooth device that I wish to play music/radio through on the car stereo (it is NOT A2DP). I used an app before called BTMono but this does not work on U960. (I should state my old phone was an HTC Hero with a variation of cyanogenmod android 2.2...)
Solution : Me stop being a tight was and buy an A2DP car kit!
8) T-Mobile Germany SIM will not auto connect when back in Germany, I always have to select from a list of networks it finds from
settings -> wirless and networks -> mobile networks -> SIM2 network operators.
My Orange UK SIM in SIM1 has no such problems.
Solution : ?
