These are a few things that I have found while I've had the Jetstream. All are minute and I would still buy the Jetstream again even knowing about these small bugs because the jetstream is that functional to me.

Anyone want to check these out and confirm them?
Also, list other bugs you see and we can confirm then as well.


1. In gallery, touch and hold a pic, share to Picasa, at the window to determine which album to upload it to, it doesn't provide a list and therefore won't upload to Picasa via gallery. WORK AROUND: Download the app Photosync by Akira Soumi (Doesn't support bmp file uploads though, i believe) I use this app to sync my photos between my EVO, Picasa, and Jetstream.

2. Sometimes the music app will show a previously played song list when browsing into a new album song list. Ex: when browsing into arcade fire, the song list instead will be David bowie if he was played last. WORK AROUND: Do not select a song to play. Instead, long press on the ALBUM the song is in. Plays the album every time with no glitch.

3. When using google docs, no keyboard appears when attempting to type. Though, this is an android bug, not only on the Jetstream. My roommate has a Samsung galaxy tab 10.1 and his does the same.

4. Like 3, this one is not native to only Jetstream, I assume. On some text fields on webpages such as Photobucket or Picasa, I am not able to touch and hold to bring up the copy/paste menu. I wish they would put copy into the menu list for the browser.


I cannot think of others at the moment. I will add to the list as I find things. Perhaps an update will fix these annoyances. Please share.

EDIT: Added work arounds for two of my glitches I've mentioned

I just confirmed number 1. Haven't attempted the others yet or experienced #2 will update later.

By the way... I'm digging this tablet as well and more so with Swype!

Im sorry you are experiencing these issues. So far i have not experience any of them at all. the only thing i dont like about is is the lag. For been 1.5ghz dual it sure lags, specially the browser.also, the memory is always below 140mb free. Is this normal?

Thanks

I have the music app bug as well, so bad that I just downloaded the Music app from Google and was done with it. I miss the lock screen widget, but the HTC Music app was too painful to keep up with.

Another bug I've found is with using a Bluetooth keyboard. When the keyboard is left paired until the tablet sleeps, when turning the tablet back on and disconnecting the BT keyboard the onscreen keyboard continually pops up. This happens even on the home screen, and in the music app. Pressing the back key to remove the virtual keyboard does so, but it comes back in a matter of seconds.

I've had to turn off auto screen rotation because it was far too sensitive.

Still no option to sync picasa web albums in the Accounts & Sync section (such as was available on the Xoom)

1. Notes app, confuses itself with too many file revisions, notes vanish from view, but are still present in .data.

2. Browser not syncing bookmarks from chrome.

3. Quite disappointed by NAS and server connectivity and video playback options.

I notice that the download rate through 3G is not stable
Some times I can download by 400kb/S after while the speed come down to 45kb/S

To solve it. I should switch off the data conection and switch on again

Any one notice this issue or from my carrier

see my thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1306673

but my LTE connection fluctuates wayyy more then a normal connection. i can do 3 back-to-back speed tests and get 10mbps, 18mbps, 4mbps, 23mbps (highest i saw) all while my signal is going up and down. Im calling this a bug since i happen to work for AT&T and know that the tower im connected to is only a few blocks and i radio tested my phone next to my tablet and my phone wasn't switching nodes/towers whatsoever.

and considering where i live theres prolly 20 LTE users at peak using the node since LTE isnt available yet and isnt planed till 2012ish. i know its one of the like 10 test towers in the city

ps, also calling it a bug cuz i switched the sim

ps and i dont knoow how to get a tabletinto test mode to see if it is somehow bouncing nodes/towers

pen issue

i use the scribe pen alot and notices that if i'm not using the pen pallet for a few minutes while in the PDF viewer - it won't open again until i'll quit the app and open it again. and that too is not so consistent.

i have also noticed video issues, mainly a lot of android vanilla stock video options are removed from the jetstream... thus apps like Plex do not work and it is annoying as hell. Also I wish there was a way to get root and enable the wifi hotspot ability. If i pay for data I want to use it as i want.

bizarre split screen noise on top half

ok I found this thread and have the jetstream since Sept '11.

awkward thing I notice is that flash does not want to work via opera browser.

in generic sense browser the flash works but playing videos via full screen flash player the screen splits with noise, static overlaying the top half of the screen. Can any one else please confirm this?

lastly I enabled pin lockscreen and upon restart and attempting to unlock the screen upon startup in landscape mode the device will just do this boot loop. I noticed you can avoid the bootloop if you unlock in portraitmode.

settings app would just close out if I attempted to enter the power setting in the list. hard reset fixed that.

tablet completely froze out when fully charged trying to perform an encryption. Had to enter the recovery mode and factory reset.


Anyone else having the flash player split screen when watching a video?

Occasionally when I press the home button I also get a loading message for about 10-30 seconds. This is really frustrating. Should I push HTC customer support to replace my tablet our is this happening to every one?
