What about Bluetooth Tethering?

What about Bluetooth Tethering?

I don't have a computer with bluetooth to test it.

If you can verify it works I'll add it to the list.

 

[tbert]

It'll be at least 3 more days before I get my X =/.

 

[ericnail]

Well, i believe bluetooth tethering has been working all along.

I haven't heard any reports of it not working...

 

[tbert]

Hope it stays that way. Someone hypothesized that "Updated Bluetooth connection for enhanced video sharing experience" was code for nixing BT internet tethering, since it basically offers a free alternative to $20/month Hotspot Wifi.

What about the lag on the lock screen and a few other place people have been reporting. Any change? Don't get my X until the 27th!

Nope, still lags.

But honestly, don't worry about that, it's hardly noticeable.

I wouldn't even use the word lag; more suitably: studder.

I just use the dot lock code instead of the sliderand it opens instantly

Downloaded apps now sort in the menu correctly rather than bunch up at the bottom of the list.

(yesssssssssssss)

 

[dequardo]

Very disappointed the battery meter and battery LED charging issues NOT fixed.

(yesssssssssssss)

That's strange, I haven't updated yet and all of my apps are correctly sorted.

 

[Phases]

That's strange, I haven't updated yet and all of my apps are correctly sorted.

I assumed that's what "Streamlined organization of newly downloaded applications" meant, and was really hoping. Now they're organized.

I hated that it grouped em at the bottom (albeit, also alphabetical). Maybe it was just affecting some people..

Mine were bunched up to begin with and after a reboot they've been fine ever since.

Is the "Smoother transition for camera and camcorder functions" referring to the scrolling between "Scenes" and "Effects"?

I'm fairly sure before I couldn't swipe though the options around-the-world style, and now I can.

Spoiler

As in, I couldn't swipe left to begin with to get to the very last option all the way on the right.

 

[T66T]

there is a new scene added to video mode called "concert"

 

[Chites]

I'm using Launcher Pro and I will say my phone seems smoother. My lock/unlock is very quick. Now that the view images on Google images is fixed this phone is pretty close to perfect for me. Pretty close... LOL

 

[ericnail]

updated

 

[deathratlehead]

Seems like a pretty good update for the phone only being out a few days.

 

[ericnail]

Not bad at all.


Still can't wait for 2.2

 

[PurePursuit]

When are we rumored to get 2.2, that is going to be truly exciting.

How do you bypass the slider?

yeah i agree or more like hitch right when you get to the dot other then that it is super fast.

Issue:
some people reporting dead pixels with camera after update
