Okay, I'm here seeking your professional help, seeing as from what I read above, you sound like you know Android really well.
I'm coming off of 7 years on Blackberrys, and I just got a Sam i896 on Rogers. And I am frustrated as hell with it. Now I don't know if its cuz I'm new to Android, or if this model stinks. Here's the info:
Firmware: 2.1 Update1
Baseband: i896uxji2
Kernel: 2.6.29 (root@sep-58 #2
Build: Eclair.uxji2
Here's whats frustrating me:
Battery Life!!! I'm making 10-12 hours with everything turned off, and minor use. Couple of you tube vids, facbook and a couple of calls. I thought the point of a cool phone was to use it? Yes I have drained it dead, twice.
Alarm clock: only plays 45sec of MP3 file, then shuts off? How does that wake anyone up? My BB would play it on repeat for a hour!
No way to just set a ringer profile?
No spell check?
Everything is hours or days behind in notification. Just got emails a minute ago that were sent to me yesterday. Facebook is hours and days behind on some things.
Same prob with Kies as everyone else. And the the non-accessible drives that show up when you plug it in. (Win XP SP3 OS)
I do find the keyboards are a pain. Is there better ones?
Those are the major ones. I have 48 hours left in my exchange period. Thinking a Torch might have to be the ticket back to what I am comfortable. Hope you guys know what I am doing wrong.
