Android 2.2 bugs driving me nuts

I’m one of the biggest Android fanboys there is. I created not one but TWO blogs to talk about Android, bought a G1 two weeks after launch and my current Samsung Vibrant at launch — the first to do so at T-Mobile’s Santa Monica store.

Here’s what I’ve had to deal with in the last 3 months. My phone has Android 2.2 stock, Kernel 2.6.32.9, with LauncherPro.

  • “Camera failed” error
  • Nook for Android refreshes every 1 minute (rendering the page again for no reason)
  • Google Voice stops working
  • Stuck when trying to re-enable Wi-Fi
  • Music player won’t play MP3s
  • YouTube won’t play videos

I was able to fix all with a mix of reboots and deleting the cache for each application (except for the Nook app). Needless to say, these bugs are really pissing me off.

FYI, I know doing a system reset is recommended to “fix” all of the above, but I’m not willing to go through it. I’d rather wait for 2.3.

Questions:

  • Does anyone else have to deal with similar issues?
  • Is this a Galaxy-S thing?
  • Is this an Android 2.2 thing?

p.s. I hear the official Twitter app might cause some of those (YouTube/MP3 issue). Uninstalled it just in case — let’s see what happens next
