Verizon/Google did fix a few things with the December 11th update. First, whe I turned on the phone early last Friday, it just ran the update. Didn’t take long, rebooted and there it was. Here are some of the highlights from an end-user viewpoint:
- Bigger time display
- Clearer action buttons for answering/rejecting calls. It would still be better if you could just push them rather than having to swipe them, but an improvement nonetheless.
- Visual VM now has a speaker button – still doesn’t recognize a bluetooth headset, but a step in the right direction.
- Easier to pick a contact and navigate to it. Fewer clicks and it seems to be more lenient about how precisely you press the location on the map to activate navigation. Still don’t understand why it won’t just go there right from the contact.
The voice dial thing still isn’t fixed, but the voice search seems to be finding the contacts better. Email still comes in at random unless you power cycle the phone.
Verizon, when’s the next update, and what will it fix?
