webOS 1.2.0 Issues
Improper IM/SMS message notification
- IM as well as SMS message notification is not working the way it should. Once a notification comes up, only user’s picture as well as the message icon appears and there is no sign of the received text.
Google Location services points inaccurately
- The location to which Google location service points happens to be 10 miles away from the actual target
Repeating Email error messages
- Not once, not twice but quite frequently the same email messages keep turning up
WiFi HotSync does not function
- The classic WiFi HotSync is not functioning. Who knows when it will start working properly.
Inconsistent Web Browsing
- Once you start enjoying the browsing session, for no apparent reason, web browsing freezes.
Inconsistent phone charging via USB
- Once you put your phone for charging, USB phone charging stops in the middle. That’s really annoying.
