For one I noticed :

1) Disabling Sound for SD Card Notifications does not work :(

Can anyone else confirm ? Has anyone else faced any other issues ?

umm, what are sd card notifications? :confused:

Sounds that your system makes when u connect/disconnect USB and mount/unmount your phone on your PC. You can use the settings in Settings -> Sound & Display -> SD Card Notifications to turn it on or off.

Unfortunately even if it is turned off in my phone, it still issues an audible notification. Did not have this problem with earlier firmwares (IK4, IK5)
 
you could just set the sound as a silent mp3 for a workaround (and use individual notifications for sms, mail, etc.)

i already do that to shut up the notification about (un-)plugging the 3,5mm jack
 
If you have an unlock pattern when you hit unlock button it doesn't display the lock screen but only the pattern. While this makes it easier to unlock I miss the clock from the unlock screen, now I have to look at the small one in the notification bar...

That's a good idea, I'd never thought of doing that for the 3.5mm jack sound!

How do you use different sounds for different notifications? Or is it just 1.6?
 
- I can't find Google Maps 4 (maybe because I'm in Croatia or something)
- one of the following applications kept the phone awake the whole day: Google Goggles, MyTracks, Compass, Advanced Task Manager or Flashlight. I wasn't able
to determine which, but my suspicion is on Goggles. Can anyone else confirm or
deny whether the phone sleeps properly with Goggles installed?
 
Hi guys (watching you for a long time but registered just today)..

I just updated my galaxy to 1.6 (fw JB2) and I just noticed that when I receive a call or sms from a contact that I have registered in Contacts without the International prefix, the phone just shows the number with the prefix and not the contact name or pic.

For example:
I have John registered in contacts with mobile number: 69xxxxxxx (and contact name: John)

When he calls me, the phone shows me that +3069xxxxxxx calls me but does n't show me that it's John.

I have noticed there is(or was) a bug in android 1.6 here: Issue 4134 - android - Android 1.6 update issue - Contact Names do not show up on incoming calls - Project Hosting on Google Code

(as I see there are people from Greece, Turkey and Romania having this problem). Does anyone else have this problem? If yes, in which country?

It's a pity that the long-waited update doesn't have a feature (in possibly some cases) that mobile phones in early 90's had.

I'm from srbia no maps 4.0 here as well...
 
Not sure if this qualifies as a bug, but the volume switch no longer reverses when the phone is in the landscape (sideways) mode. In 1.5 the function of the switch reversed to match the direction of the slider on screen when tilted.

1.5: volume increase = ↑ (portrait) or → (landscape)

1.6: volume increase = ↑ (portrait) or ← (landscape)
 
music plays through the earpiece, not through the speaker as it should .. games too ..

this happend after i tried placing a call - the earpiece was muted when i called, the first two words the other guy said came from the speaker, then all was silent - i had to turn on the loudspeaker, then i could hear the person speaking. weird ..

i had to reboot to get it back to normal

That's why I always store numbers as the full international version of the number.

even i suspect on goggles. Ever since after installing it, whenever i connect wifi, browse for sometime then put the wifi off and lock it. It never sleeps and only solution to make it sleeps is to restart the phone.:mad:

No, it was not goggles,actually it was useful switcher app that makes my phone awake.
After i uninstalled useful switcher and restart the phone, then i used goggles for sometime to make sure it's not the app which making trouble, then i locked.After sometime Spare parts didn't show any increase in time so i guess problem is solved for the time being for me.
 
yes, same for me something is keeping the phone awake.. i highly suspect its goggles, unless there's something in the ROM itself
 
A very strange issue. The phone does not connect to my WiFi router when it is connected via USB to my computer :(
 
Just upgraded my wife's phone, and she has some sort of pixel noise going on on the screen now. Did a factory reset before and after install. The noise appears to be neon green single pixels scattered around the screen. When a touch is registered on the screen, the pixels seem to randomly jump to a new location.

Anyone else having this problem? My phone seems fine.
 
Well sounds like there's quite a few worrying sounding bugs in this release. I was going to update today but think I'll hold off a while. :(

I have the same issue on 1.5. I opened a topic on this a month ago. No solution found.

A few days ago it worked for a few hours, but I could not figure out exactly what I did to make it work. I had the debugging mode enabled/disabled before it did, but I could not make it work again by doing the same thing.

I suspect it's a pc driver problem. A different driver is used while on debugging mode.
