I haven't seen this one lately.

The first new issue I noticed on 184 was a brief message at boot, 
saying "failed to add storage device \n make sure storage device 
is properly formatted".  I might not have it exact because it 
disappeared in half a second.

Also, I think I found a reproducible method for breaking the auto 
screen shut-off feature.  If a second alarm starts before the 
first has been dismissed, the screen will no longer shut itself 
off afterward until the phone has been rebooted.

Related to that, it seems that alarms now merely vibrate when 
music is already playing, instead of trying to play at the same 
time.  This is probably a downgrade, since it's not at all 
apparent that something is happening unless the user is holding 
or looking at the phone at the time.

It seems that, in the app store, the app preview images are 
forgotten when the user scrolls them offscreen and comes back.  
Scrolling to the bottom then back to the top forces the images to 
reload.

Otherwise, just the usual issues...

  - Wifi networks are still sorted alphabetically instead of by 
    signal strength.

  - The welcome intro still suggests the right edge is only for 
    "unlocking" the phone.

  - Settings -> Accounts -> Back still crashes.

  - One of my videos doesn't get thumbnailed, even though older 
    releases handled it without issue.

  - The mako camera still produces black images when the flash is 
    used.

In any case, it seems like a lot of the things which need to be 
fixed now are papercuts, with very few big issues left.
