Bugs with VZW Palm Pre2 update 2.1

**hilm3** · 08/17/2011, 03:26 PM

The phone app is broken. It only works when you dial a number directly from the dial pad. Selecting a number from a search, contacts, favorites, or shortcuts does not work. So you have to look up the number, memorize it or write it down, go back to the dial pad and dial the digits. Awesome, eh!

Tech Support already lists this as a known issue.

How is that a problem in the official 2.1 version but not the 2.1 Meta Doctor? Aren't they built from the same stuff?

Weird. It's working fine for me. Maybe it's because I downloaded the doctor and installed. I didn't want to do the OTA update.

I just noticed that it doesn't work. That is terrible!

Hmm, I did the OTA update last night and I'm not having this issue.

I used the doctor as well and my doesn't work!

I removed "advanced system phone prefs" and it fixed the issue.

I have noticed that a lot of the "advanced" patches have been causing issues with my phone since the update.

If you have it installed try removing it and see if that fixes the issue. Good luck!

Hmmm...I just selected some of my contacts and they all dialed correctly (people are probably wondering why I'm calling and hanging up).

Also did a few of my contacts through "just type" and they all dialed correctly as well.

Am I missing something?

Yeah, I read on twitter that the advanced patches aren't playing nicely with VZW 2.1. Said there should be a fix later, but for now you should probably uninstall them.

I can't get 'Advanced system Prefs - Framework -VZW' or 'Battery Percent as Icon' to reinstall.

I don't know if it is an update thing or not. But, my Gmail won't send anything anymore. Just sits in the out box.

Anyone else having an issue?

**mrdmc** · 08/17/2011, 04:50 PM

After running the update, my phone seems to dial without any problems, whether using voice dial (yay!) or just choosing a person from my contact list.

**MJbos** · 08/17/2011, 05:20 PM

No problems here...

**hilm3** · 08/17/2011, 07:03 PM

My issue just may be with Advanced Phone Preferences or some other patch.
I will doctor tonight and update manually rather than OTA and see if that works.

After the 2.1 upgrade, my Yahoo email account wasn't syncing. I was getting error 1299 (some "cookies on server..." issue) which pointed me to this link here in precentral which fixed the problem:

Something similar may be needed for the gmail problem noted above.

No issues with the dialer as mentioned in the opening thread.

**st0mp** · 08/17/2011, 08:28 PM

Mine phone app works. E-mail not so much until I re-added the accounts manually.

Prior to last night when I installed Verizon 2.1 on my Pre 2, Flash videos from sites using the Flowplayer worked fine. Now they no longer play.

**YankBoy** · 08/18/2011, 08:05 AM

Are others experiencing a loss of system sounds (notification sounds, "swooshing" sound when swiping a card away, etc) after activating voice dialing? I had this and read where some others have as well. Restarting the phone corrects the issue until voice dialing is activated again.

**bradenfontaine** · 08/18/2011, 08:51 AM

Not having the "phone issue"... But ever since I got my Pre 2 from verizon, if looking up a contact from the phone app, it only shows up to the "N's"... Figure that one out lol

**BruceBradford** · 08/18/2011, 09:03 AM

Was having similar. Just went into contacts and chose "Sync Now" and seems fine.
