I hold the camera button the side until I heard that 'camera-focus noise.'
Then, my Moto Droid loads a text message (using the default 'Messaging' app) where I had previously shared a picture via text....wtf.
Another time I pressed browser and it opened 'Messaging.'
Does anyone else have issues like this? REALLY annoying.
While I am at it...
-If I want to add something to the home screen, I hold down and select 'Shortcut.' This takes about 3 seconds, which is too long but oh well. Then, I press 'Applications,' and it takes >30 seconds, finally displaying. I am using a 'live wallpaper,' but I seem to remember this issue even before 2.1's release. This SUCKS.
After reading all around, I have begun to think that maybe my phone is defective. I use ATK, so there isn't really anything running that shouldn't be. I would not consider my phone 'fast.' I would say the iPhone is faster (after a quick comparison with a friend's); that is, I click things on the iPhone, and they work immediately. I really want to love my Droid, but I find myself screaming at it more than I am happy with it. (Like just now, I went to unlock it, and the 'Unlock bar' stuck for about 3 seconds...before Unlocking....Other times, I unlock my phone and there are no icons on the home page for about 15 to 30 seconds).
Also, with Pandora, if I have Pandora running and then try to use Google Maps, it says 'Searching for GPS.' If I open Google Maps and then Pandora, the GPS works fine. In the former instance, right when I close Pandora, the GPS is found...BS.
In summary,
-Camera to Messaging Issue
-Time it takes to add a Shortcut (>30 seconds waiting for screen)
-Is my phone defective?
-Unlocking bar freezes for a period
-Home page sometimes displays nothing for 10 to 30 seconds after unlock
-Pandora and Google Map 'Searching for GPS' issue.
Thanks and sorry for the rant. Don't know where else to turn.
