First off, I want to thank Google for giving me a bunch of Android devices over the last year. I currently have three different phones, a Google ION, HTC Evo and a Droid.
I've been receiving reports of weird bugs since 2.1 was released, I'd hoped they'd magically clear with 2.1-update1 but they haven't. The bugs are for specific devices and can't be tested in the emulator. On the Droid, I had a reoccurring loop when the device was started and held horizontally. Didn't happen on any other device. On the HTC Evo and Incredible, odd freezes when the screen was panned. Didn't happen on any other the other devices as far as I can tell. None of these problems caused a crash or even an error in the log. They just caused the app to act weird. Testing with the physical devices for these bugs is absolutely critical to resolving these issues. I found the Droid problem easily, that one is fixed. The HTC problems still are present but I've managed to mitigate them with some clever programming. Regardless of how things are supposed to work, in the real world, having the actual devices in hand makes life a lot easier. It would be great if the device manufacturers would create some sort of program where we could get our hands on these things without signing up for contracts or paying $500+ for each one. They could be units that didn't pass quality control, scratch and dent models or returns, as long as they worked on WiFi, that would be all that's necessary. -John Coryat -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
