Issues with Jelly Bean update, over previous ICE 4.0.4.
Anything mentioned below, was NOT an issue on ICS.
Swype (my main interface to the phone).
Swype in text messages and and emails, facebook etc still works fine.
Swype in default or Dolphin browser is rubbish.
The rest of the swype gripes below refer to in browser use, Dolphin or default browser.
Defining rubbish, these are random in their appearance, but always the capitals on every word.:
Every swyped word starts with a capital.
Often no spaces are inserted so all words run together like this HelloMyNameIsAnnoyed.
A wrong word replaced by one of the offered alternatives usually adds the desired word to the beginning of the first line of a text box, not affecting the wrong word.
This can either be inserted before the first word or over the first word!
Example:
I swype:
How are you today Kerry
I get HowAreYouTodayBerry
or How Are You Today Berry
so, I wanted Kerry, and it is offered as an option, so I choose it.
I may get:
KerryHow Are You Today Berry
or
Kerryre You Today Berry
So, instead of using the offered words, I will use the delete key.
But, say I got
through
when I wanted though
I delete up to the r then manually type the 'ough'. The manually typed bit has first letter capitalised.
Result:
ThOugh
Swype can be VERy slow. Over a second or more to show a swyped word, or a deleted character.
Sometimes it is fine.
Long press on text to select it, to correct errors, often does nothing at all.
Changing to Android keyboard instantly works.
The extra keyboard functions like cursor up/down/left/right, copy/past, delete right, Select all, rarely or never function on a browser.
Other areas in Jelly Bean:
In vBulletin admin control panel, long press on a text field to select it, then copy it to clipboard copies all the text field heading for the entire page instead!
It's actually imposible to select the contents of a text field, even though they highlight blue.
In email client, long press on an email address in the body of an email now no longer selects all the email, but wither side of the @ or the @ alone, depending where you long press.
In email client, long press on an IP address in the body of an email now no longer selects it at all. It is impossible.
In both browsers I have, I can long press on a last post icon on any forum, as usual, pull up the "open in new tab" etc menu, as usal, tap Open in new tab, see the menu item turn blue, then menu disappear, and nothing happens.
Usually 3rd time it works.
In dolphin, typing in a url, when part typed in, but the url you want is offered as one of the liely ones, tapping it again turns blue, and it goes away, but nothing else happens.
I was unable to make it work with many attempts.
This worked in the default browser.
