Hello again Viper,
As I use my phone more and more I start to experience some of the other problems that people are reporting here. I have started getting the horrible call quality, which has never happened to me until a day or so ago. Now it seems to be every 3rd call or so. It is so bad that I cannot concentrate on what the other person is saying because I am hearing what I said a few seconds before in a terrible gadget sounding echo. I am going to do a battery pull, *228-2, and try again for a day or two. If this keeps up it will be my first MAJOR problem with the phone. Also, I started using the camera, both still and video, just to see how they work and to try and capture some family moments. Santa came through the neighborhood yesterday in a fire engine. I recorded the whole thing on video camera mode. I went to review it and the phone plays about a second of the video and the picture freezes and the audio continues... When the audio reaches the end of the clip, an error message pops up that says "This video cannot be played." All 8 clips do the exact same thing when reviewed on the phone. I mounted the phone to the Mac and watched the videos there and they played as they should, except that there are parts that are digitized and and unviewable for a second or two. Maybe the SD card?? No idea on this one. Lastly, the still picture quality is horrible... All of my still pictures are so blurry. I tried wiping the lens and making sure I hold the camera very still and the quality did not change. I looked through all the settings and did not find anything to help. I tried with flash on, off, and auto... no difference. I have heard complaints about picture quality and that the update was supposed to fix this, but I am still struggling with it. It almost seems as if the shutter is staying open for too long. I think I will take it in and show a tech the pics to see what they think. Anyone else have a suggestion out there? At this point, the camera is useless to me with those kind of pictures. Lastly, I noticed today that when I add an event to Google calendar online, it does not sync to the phone right away. I went the the sync control area of the phone and looked for settings but found none for sync frequency. I added an event at 10am and the sync said it had not been performed since 0430 am. I had hoped it would sync more often. OK, that is all I have for now. Hopefully there are some answers out there somewhere. Thanks again everyone for the help that is provided to us newbies. Congrats Viper on the Mod position.
