When you global search someones name, it gives you the option to add a reminder for that contact.

Apparently PNG is now supported in Photos, didn't notice that one until now.

Now, a few bad things... a few tiny little issues have been cropping up in applications. No progress bars in Word Ace to show how much time is left, and in the Homebrew Solitaire app, there's no outlines for the empty spot where you can put Aces.

Screenshots below.

MP3's and WAV's now play directly from email(though I can't figure out how to save them)


Most likely prepping up for google voice

I've been noticing the memory management for the web browser is pretty terrible. If I've been to a lot of sites, or go to a site with a lot of images, the browser will slow to a crawl, or do the busy spinning circle thing. I've even gotten too many cars with just 1 card open...

Thanks... I was just making my way threw this thread...

I read in the first post that MP3's are now playable within the EMAIL app, but that is available on 1.1

Hopefully OP can remove that from the first post

I have version 1.1 and I dl videos all the time from the web.

What sites can't you download videos from? Are you able to download them from the sites on your PC?

I don't know if anyone else has noticed this or not. Can anyone else comfirm this?
I just tested this with my office phone and my Pre, and can definitely confirm this. Was the biggest complaint about the phone for a friend of mine.

True, I hadn't noticed this until you mentioned it, but I remember people complaining about it.

I'd never have caught this one if it wasn't for the Sprint list:

-Improved global search to catch synonyms. For example, "Movies" brings up YouTube and Videos.

I know the contact name is there in 1.1, I don't think the call duration was.

yeah thats what i think. Its neat. Also in music along with podcast memory where it resume from last time you played track there is option to repeat and shuffle. In repeat I dont know if it was available but now it gives option to repeat 1 track it shows number 1 in repeat icon and also if you tap on it twice it shows no number where it repeats all tracks. Can you correct me if it was available in music app in 1.1.

Also when screen is lock while music app is playing (if you have notification when locked ON in screen and lock menu) you can tap on next or previous track option in mini music player shows like in notification and it works without unlocking the screen (moving the lock icon in the middle of screen to unlock). All other option wont work only next or previous. Can anybody confirm this the case in 1.1?
thanks.

Actually pause and play seem to work as well, and I can tell you that definitely wasn't the way it worked in 1.1.

Also when snoozing a calendar event it shows status "snoozed for 5 minutes" for a quick second or two in notification bar on left side. Not a biggie but still cool.

One other tiny little thing I've noticed is that if I'm in an IM and for some reason get disconnected from the network instead of just saying "User is offline" like it does when the other person isn't online, it now seems to have put "You are offline".
