Updated to 2.1 yesterday, and here is the list of problems -
1. the phone is sometimes slow - sometimes as fast as it was with 1.6 (decided by playing angry birds and just browsing the phone)
2. touchscreen is hyper sensitive, writing sms or email is very hard, I try to push once, but the phone pushes number twice! very annoying
3. this time my fault - after synced contacts maybe incorectly and now I have 2 identical phone numbers in each contact name. Any solutions how to delete the these double numbers? Tried to delete all contacts and sync again - phone downloads contacts with 2 numbers again and again.
4. scrolling isn't as smooth as it was on 1.6. maybe it's because of issue no.1
5 any ways to downgrade and not to void the warranty?
sorry for bad english, and thanks in advance for any help
update again with sony ericsson update service

I just installed the (long waited) 2.1 stock EU ROM.
All looks nice and fast but:
My wife called and the number appeared as (Unkown) caller.
All my contact numbers are in international format, i.e. +country code phone number.
I need to keep this format because I travel abroad on frequent basis.
I did not have this issue on 1.5 ROM but I remember having the same on my previous TouchPro.
Is this an HTC issue?
Thanks.
Please help !!!
Hi...
i got the same Problem...
I hope someone can help!!!
THX
I got another problem ...
The SD Card that is not recognised by some applications like Astro (file deletion generate an error) or RSS application (not possible to access the SD Card).
I had to uninstall and install the apps again.
There's a whole list:

This is for issues on the Sprint Hero in the US, but since the user interface layer of the software is largely identical most of these issues apply to out Heros too.
What annoys me most is, that they didn't fix old bugs.
You can't select text in the browser with your trackball, which SHOULD work, since they have a special cursor showing up, that hardly moves. At least in 1.5 it moved (although even then you couldn't really use it to select text).
I don't need to select with the trackball, but he current alternative by roughly tracing the text with your finger is NOT accurate at all.
I sent this issue with 1.5 to customer support and back then they replied, that it would be fixed in the 2.1 upgrade. Then, after I saw the Legend and Desire introductions in Barcelona where they showed of those cool Browser features (selecting text with your finger by placing two pins then translation and other stuff pops up) and I was certain this bug is fixed.
So I updated to 2.1 yesterday and behold... the browser doesn't have these features and doesn't allow for precise text selection either
I can understand, that they don't add the new features, but to the expense of keeping a bug??? Why didn't they just add the new selection method without the extended features like translation and such.
Another annoyance for me is that in the Dialer I cannot deactivate the Haptic feedback when dialing
and the second and bigger in my opinion is that the SIM contact are shown in the dialer (on 1.5 they where hidden if you decide to hide in the contact settings)
and in the recieved call, the system decide (I still don't understant how ) if to show SIM or Google contact.
A friend of mine has same problem as you.
He has google contacts and phone contacts.
The number of phone contacts has a blank, juste after the international code. I tried to remove this blank and now the number is recognized.

This did not work for me and it is a show stopper.
2.1 did not bring any value to me so I reverted to 1.5 and I am now a happy camper.
hi all I am posting this as an "official" question in this section because it's a known issue and it's not been resolved. this issue was briefly (and by that I mean "very few replies") discussed in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1055407
I am wondering if anyone has come up with a solution or some more hints.
to sum things up:
- in a threaded sms conversation, upon sending AND receiving a message the small contact pictures (both yours and your interlocutors') flash one time (like if they were reloading: you can briefly see the grey android default "no picture" icon meanwhile). this didnt happen on elder builds, and when it happens the phone lags.
- it can happen from time to time that after this strange reloading the pictures won't load anymore and immediately after this, the app will loose sync with contact names too: you'll end with phone numbers anymore like if you had an empty phonebook.
I have found the culprit to be not the messaging app but the contacts app. when this happen, i "just" need to go back to home and tap the contacts app. sometimes it just displays a black screen, sometimes i get a FC message about com.android.process.acore. after pressing the FC button the app will restart and both contacts and messaging will return working normally (although still with the weird reloading thingy).
as far as things go it seems that
- hard resetting / wiping data does not help
- removing and re-adding the google account sync does not help
- it happens on 354 too
- not all users (very few, it seems) are affected by this
- there is no weird backup & restore voodoo procedure implied in the affected streaks
the small amount of users affected by this issue leads me to think we are, in some way, doing something wrong. any help would be greatly appreciated really. thanks in advance folks.

I've the same prob. i was thinking it maybe from my rom (simple streak 1.2) but looks like its not.
yeah it seems to be an issue related to android 2.2.2 (I didn't have this problem on stock 318 rom). I have done some more tries yesterday but I didn't come up with a solution. I even tried to desync google account, remove all contacts etc, and create a new test contact with random picture, well as soon as I insert the picture the problem reappears.
I forgot to mention it in the op but go sms pro seems unaffected.
Contacts app in StreakDroid 1.9.1 does this as well.
I'm going to try and roll back contacts.apk, contactsprovider.apk and mms.apk from stock 318. I have checked the filesizes and they actually are slightly different.
well tbh I am 99.9% confident I will end up having to reflash my phone but oh well..
i'll report back!
EDIT: so here's the news. replacing apps didnt work. ROM 360 is still affected by the issue.
back to the drawing board...
This doesn't happen all the time but when I send an sms to a friend who I have sent plenty of messages to (more than usual friends) there is a lag in the animation when I send it. I have tried limiting the number of messages per thread and that did not help. It also doesn't seem to matter if there are a lot of apps open. It is very annoying and hopefully can be fixed. I am on the stock 2.3.5 firmware (KI3) but this has been happening since I got the phone. Any suggestions?
No one else has this problem?
I did when I first bought the phone, however after updating to 2.3.5 it dissapeared. I stopped usng it anyways, prefer handcent
i noticed that in 2.3.4 which i updated yesterday.....i tried to delete the conversation with lots of sms and it was smooth again, it wasn't doing so in 2.3.3. they fix one thing and another goes off, classic!!
gabrio
I fixed it actually by taking off split view. So far so good.
Just upgraded to stock JB last night. everything seems ok , except for following minor issue.
1. Some of my whatsapp contacts do not show profile photos, im sure they have a profile photos before when im on ICS. After the upgrade, Some of my contacts showed No Profile Photos.
2. In Phone Contacts, if that person has a Whatsapp, it will show the small little whatsapp icon on the right side of their name right. After upgrade to JB, cant see all those icon.. FOr these problem 1 and 2, I tried sync whatsapp again, but no result also.
3. I played FIfa2012 on ICS...super smooth. After JBed, it lags~ very obvious lag.
My update process is:
1)Backup TiBa and Nandroid
2)Wipe data
3)Upgrade using Odin PC
4)Install TiBa and restore missing apps and data
5)Restore system data
6)Restart phone.
Anyone encounter this, or know any solution?? Thanks bros...
Hey there,
I have had this bug since I first officially updated MIUI when I got this phone (ie. first day). Right now I am running MIUI 9 Global Stable 9.0.3.0 (also updated through OTA) which I believed would fix these issues which started occurring since MIUI 8 .
I have tried factory reset (yesterday), without any success (Happened today morning).
It's not exactly reproducible manually, however it happens every morning (which is even more weird) or at least once every day.
Here's what happens:
1: Chrome stops loading web pages. The new tab page is changed to a complete white blank. If you wait for long enough, chrome crashes.
2: Screenshots stop working. Three finger swipe doesn't work, and from the notification shade, the output pic is a black screen. Hence I cannot provide screenshots.
3: Notification tone and Ringtone selection do not play (i.e preview) sounds, rather display a message "Could not connect to the internet".
4: YouTube loads data fine until video playback, at which it crashes after some time.
5: Messaging apps (such as whatsapp, hike) cannot send message anymore, however in some cases can receive messages.
5: Other apps such as facebook, instagram etc also crash and don't load content and crash.
The only fix is to reboot the device. Which is fine, however, it gets rather annoying that it happens every single day.
If anyone has any advice for a fix, I'd be very thankful.
were you able to find some sort of solution to all these problems?
i am having the exact same issue(s) and have looked it up all over the net but still couldnt find anything relevant.
Download official rom from en.miui.com
Place the zip in internal or sd
Open updater and update by zip.
Tht should fix it
If even tht didn't do it the you'll have to unlock bootloader and install a custom rom
P. S even oero custom roms are available
updated through miui updater but the issues still remained.
one thing i noticed is that if u keep on using the phone when app starts to crash without rebooting then after a while systemui has stopped comes up.
more importantly most of these issues appeared while using hike.
i uninstalled hike to see if a third party app could be interefering with the background processes and voila!
no hangups/app crashes/network problems for 2 days straight.
thanks anyways.
Yep, uninstalling hike fixed the problem for me.
Pretty weird how hike can crash miui haha
The same problem
Hello, guys! I have the same problem and it's annoying. What is hike? Where I can find it? Did you mean "hike: payments" from Play market?

hike is a messenger similar to Whatsapp. If you don't have it installed, your problem is different from ours, which was fixed by uninstalling hike.
