OTA-7 on bq e4.5 - first impressions
Hi
Having followed the Landing Team posts, I think I got my expectations up
a bit too much prior to the OTA-7 update. I realize a lot is going on
behind the scenes, so don't take this the wrong way. I just wish to
report what I consider to be the main problems as an end user at the
moment, 24 hours after updating, in the hope that this may help solve
issues.
1. The screen very frequently does not wake up until the "on" button
has been pressed 3 times. Today, I also had to press it 4-5 times on
a few occasions. But usually, and quite consistently, it requires
pressing the button 3 times.
2. Scrolling in general is often accompanied by screen lag.
3. Starting the message service is still very slow. It takes a few
seconds before the messages turn up, then 10+ seconds until the
phone numbers are converted to names from the address book. After
this you can select a message thread, but you have to wait another
few seconds before it turns up on the screen. Entering the message
is also frequently accompanied by lag. Then, when you send the
message, you usually have to hit the send icon at least twice and
wait another3-4 seconds for there to be a visible result.
4. When entering text, at least in the message service, if you want to
remove part of what you have written and use the backspace key to do
so, the effect is a bit odd: When it starts erasing a word at a
time, if you release the backspace before everything is gone, you
are left with the beginning of what you wrote, followed by a few of
the last characters you wrote, i.e. the ones you erased first. This
happens every time.
5. The phone still freezes from time to time. After waiting a few
seconds (and sometimes up to half a minute), I always restart the
phone. I have done this twice (or maybe three times) after updating.
I hope this helps. If I have been unclear or not sufficiently precise in
my description anywhere, just let me know. I will try clarify wherever
necessary.
Best regards,
Ari
