I feel like I may be hijacking this thread but yor title is quite encompassing.
Here is what I am currently facing:
Issue Group #1:
- Each time I wake the device (for example a swipe) the screen will light up and be usable until the device orientation changes.
- The screen will then lock with the new orientation and will refuse any touch response and further orientation changes.
- I them must hold the power button down to have the unit reboot (red light will light and the device will boot).
- Simply pressing the power and to suspend the unit will black out the screen however the screen will not come back up when clicked again.
- This issue can be reproduced after each resume swipe even after multiple device wipes while not plugged in from my testing.
Issue Group #2:
- The SIM card shows a red exclamation in the top menu bar drop down after each of these episodes until I power the unit off completely and rebooted multiple times (sometimes it requires a good hour before being recognized).
- The SIM card properties under "About" displays no ID and "Carrier name unavailable".
- After much time has elapsed the SIM card properties under "About" will begin to contain a SIM card ID and "AT&T" as the carrier however no "Phone Numbers".
Issue Group #3:
- After a security wipe and the initial setup wizard without any further actions on a full charge with the screen off the battery will last under 4 hours.
- Charging takes much finness to get going (with the included charger to verify) including reboots and series of unplugs.
- After much messing around to get it charging, it seems to progress much too fast, going from blinking light to fully charged and ready to die in mere hours while suspended in about 45 minutes on the charger.
Notes:
- I wanted to try an OS reload using the Desktop Manager however I cannot find it in Beta Zone (only 7.0) and 7.0 lacks the drivers needed for this device.
- It seems this particular device has been opened before based on the lower bezel condition (dented with an area pulled out), maybe it was a problem device.
Update:
It seems there may be 2 groups of these Dev Alpha devices. Some with these types of issues and others without. I have had another developer test their device without the issues my device exhibits. In comparing the devices I have noticed the serial number of my device starting with 0702- whereas the other developer's working device being 0701-. The OS also shows a "Radio Version" of "10.04.187 (1)" instead of just "10.04.187" as mine displays.
I find this a bit interesting.
