Re: OTA-7 on bq e4.5 - first impressions

 

I would agree with this as a MX4 user. 
I had hoped the screen wake and darken issue it's plauged with might have been fixed.  I'm finding it really difficult to use the phone function as I can't end a call on a black screen,  that won't wake. 
Since the update,  I don't know if any other users have experienced this,  but the Web browser has a lot of lag. This is also reflected in the Facebook application.  
Connection to WiFi has been another major issue.  I often have to turn off the WiFi and back on to get any good network response. 
Personally I really like using the Ubuntu phone,  love the design and easy of use.
I'm concerned about the number of OS defects plaguing it. 
When I first got the phone on R3 it was pretty speedy, but limited.  I don't have the handset getting hot anymore which I did when I first got the phone. 
I know everyone is working hard to make this an amazing phone OS!
It's one of the main reason I continue to use.  I hope with new improvements it will get much better.

    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.

>*  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.
>*  Scrolling in general is often accompanied by screen lag.
>*  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.
>*  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.
>*  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.

      clarify wherever necessary.
