Comcast fails to download more than 1 email

    * Symptom(s): No error message but it stays on "Load More Messages" without ever pulling another email.


"Messages" Stability Issue

    * Symptom(s): When trying to send a message or exit the "Messaging" application you receive a pop up message that reads "Sorry! Activity Messaging (in application Messaging) is not responding. Force Close Wait"


WiFi forcing a logout of IM

    * Symptom(s): While using the IM clients on the G1 if you turn on or off WiFi the sessions are terminated and you will need to sign back in.


No reminders for calendar items.

    * Symptom(s): Missing appointments due to the lack of a reminder.


G1 hanging at the G1 Screen

    * Symptom(s): A small number of G1 devices hanging at the G1 screen during the initial power up.



New Features:

    * Support "Check For Upgrades" (New feature to check for system upgrades)
    * Voice Search (New Google feature for searching)
    * Ability to save pictures recieved as MMS
    * Ability to report offensive comments in the Market as SPAM
    * Google Latitude / Maps 3.0
    * The Market no longer says "Beta" at the top
    * Some users have noticed change/improvements in Instant Messaging

    * AlarmClock alert now plays audio/vibe directly, rather than through AlarmManager. AlarmClock alert starts playing audio/vibe in its IntentReceiver, rather than on activity start. These changes should prevent alarms from being blocked by modal dialogs.

    * Fixes to device sleep.

    * Single tap no longer opens the in-call dialpad; users now need to touch and drag it.

    * Fixes a bug causing approximately 1 in 25 outbound messages to freeze up the IMAP connection (to a Gmail based server) when transferred to the Sent folder.

    * Removes automatic account setup entries that were broken or not testable. Adds minor fixes to a few of the remaining entries. Makes improvements to warning dialogs used for a few special cases.

    * Changes default mail checking interval to every 15 minutes (instead of defaulting to “never”).

    * Fixes password-quoting bugs in IMAP, so that users can include special characters in passwords (e.g. spaces).

    * Fixes various errors in auto and manual account setup

    * Improves reporting for various connection errors, making it easier for the user to diagnose failed account setups.

    * Fixes new-mail notifications for POP3 accounts.

    * Ensures proper auto-checking of accounts marked as “never check”.

    * Now displays date and time using user preference (e.g. 24 hr vs. AM/PM).

    * Now shows cc: in message view.

    * Improves recovery from POP3 connection failures.

    * POP3 parser rules loosened, so the application can work with non-compliant email servers.

    * Removes green CALL button as a shortcut for “add a new call”.

New Features

    * Maps: Adds details and reviews when a user does a search on Maps and clicks on a business to view it’s details.

    * Dialer: In-call screen timeout default is now longer when using the speakerphone.

    * Dialer: Adds a “Show dialpad” / “Hide dialpad” item to the in-call menu, to make it easier to discover the DTMF dialpad.

    * Adds support for saving attachments from MMS

    * Adds support for marquee in layouts.

    * Support "Check For Upgrades" (New feature to check for system upgrades)

Ive also noticed that the marketplace automatically checks to see if your DL'ed apps are updated, and it will give you the option to update them.

I took a pic from a bug that gmail has ,  when I decided to send a reply   it kept the   red message  "SEnding..."    and it is still there, it does not matter how other emails I receive, it is still there.   I will send later on to everywhere so google takes attention / address  this issue.

this is the first time it happens to me,  I don't know what caused the problem, I don't know wheter  was the slow internet connection (edge) that was slow on that time or something, but the message is still there ! it does not dissapear.

sure is a bug that was not there before

AtrackDog was a cool app, certainly useful on my phone.


Rayo, I haven't had that problem yet myself, has it done it on just the one message, or is it continuous?
