Gingerbread Changes / Issues

 I have noticed three changes to my Droid X since the Gingerbread update that have caused some issues.  

 

1.  The backlight on the keys do not work consistently.  If they are pressed, the light does not come on.  I have found that if I rotate the phone, they seem to come on.  According to some searching, this was a Froyo problem as well but I had never experienced it before Gingerbread.

 

2.  I have several personalized notification sounds.  About 4 of the sounds were in WAV format.  Once Gingerbread was loaded, they would no longer work properly.  I had to convert each one of them to MP3

 

3.  If you go to Contacts...Press Menu key...Press More...Press Settings...Press Contact storage, the default account to store new contacts is "Backup Assistant".  I use my Google account, so this change would have caused me significant issues.

 

If I have duplicated another post I am sorry.  I looked around but did not see these issues.

Hi bharath23,

 

I am happy to hear that you are overall pleased with the Gingerbread update.  We are aware of the issue with the LED notifications and are working on a resolution.  Unfortunately, at this time the release date of the resolution has yet to be communicated.

 

 

 

Your patience is greatly appreciated,

This happens to some users that updated to GB from Froyo without a wipe and there really hasnt been a solution but wipe data or hard reset, both of these options will loose personal settings and device need to be reconfigured.

 

2.  I have several personalized notification sounds.  About 4 of the sounds were in WAV format.  Once Gingerbread was loaded, they would no longer work properly.  I had to convert each one of them to MP3

 

WAV files are not the most optimized audio format and this is why a number of developers lean towards the mp3 format because they are also smaller in size also.

 

3.  If you go to Contacts...Press Menu key...Press More...Press Settings...Press Contact storage, the default account to store new contacts is "Backup Assistant".  I use my Google account, so this change would have caused me significant issues. 

 

Try clearing the dialers default setting, this option is normally a option the first time you add a contact to the contact list...  I never set the defult because I love tt allows me to sync with Yahoo, gMaol and my RR accounts in one setting.

 

 

If I have duplicated another post I am sorry.  I looked around but did not see these issues.

The contact issue is a new setting. Or atleast one I had never seen.
I dont believe this is a bug because all apps these days have removed the support for wav files, there is a few apps out there that still uses them but Android normally use qcp or mp3...  The programers job is to optimize a devices performance and wav files require to much to cache and store...  But you have your veiw but the developer may viewed this diffrently.

Did you post to get help, or post to argue?

It worked in froyo removing support without notification makes it a bug.

Either that, or a change they just didn't tell you about.

That would be nice if that is how programming worked....  Heres the link to Android support page http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html , notice the special notes next to WAV (rates up to limit of hardware).  I am just pointing out the facts.

 

PCM/WAVE •8- and 16-bit linear PCM (rates up to limit of hardware)WAVE (.wav)

I work in software developement and I am not a rookie to this game, but you appear to be one that want to complain and I am not up to that game.....  Hope you resolve your bug....   By the way have you thought to refilter the file because if they are encoded in a 24 bit encryption this could be why the worked on one os and not others..

 

Just a thought...  Good day.
