My other choice was to rant in the forest and hope someone would hear the clap of my hands.
Who shall I rant to? T-Mobile? They could care less - they don't manufacture the device and they don't develop the OS. HTC? They don't develop the OS. I don't see how would T-Mobile be responsible for the buggy update other than the fact that apparently no one made the slightest effort to test the very trivial things we do every day with the device and especially calls, because this is a phone for crying out loud. So I rant to Google, and more specifically to the Android developers for *decreasing* the quality of the OS, because I don't see any significant improvement, and on the contrary I see regress. Not only that, but the when I try to run an app, the device chooser starts seeing N devices, instead of one, and it keeps adding a (offline) device every few seconds. I know it's due to the fact that the device's SDK is now 1.1 (which MUST HAVE BEEN EXPLICITLY reported in the "there's an update" dialog) and the SDK I use is 1.0, but then how was I able to upload an 1.0 app on the device *once*? I'd expect 1.0 to not have a problem with the device chooser dialog. Actually it shouldn't have displayed it at all, because I'm not running the emulator. On a side note, not only calls are buggy, but it appears (but I can't prove it yet because of the device chooser bug mentioned above) that someone has tampered with the way GC works and it now works worse than before - in an app which makes *not one* allocation after it initializes, I feel GC is kicking in for no reason. So I think I'm entitled to rant - if Google would make my day miserable, why would I keep it to myself? I'm not only a developer, I'm a user as well and I hate the experience w/ the new update. But hey, I'm not only a user, but a developer as well, and if Android is all about making Google's services available to (potentially) zillions of mobile users out there, and I am a teenie-weenie someone which might help them push their platform by adding just another app for it, I think I can rant, and I can rant on this list if I wish so. Cheers, Stoyan Once again, my apologies to all on the list for the OT post - it's the last one I hope.
