Guys, I just found out that the call voice clarity is pretty bad,
It is manageable when both the parties talk loudly, but it gets really annoying when i talk in the night(when the ambient noise is low), I hear a hissing noise and the caller on the other line hears only when i talk loudly, Whispers aren't heard unless you whisper very loudly. This happens on both the handset aswell as on the handsfree.
I've googled for "poor call quality on android" and i saw many topics discussing about poor call quality on most of the android phones like, moto droid, HTC evo, nexus one and others.
P.S- If you haven't experienced any such issues, try calling someone and see if the other person can hear you whispers.
Hey, could you tell me the name of the weather widget that you're using?
Metalspree- WTH is that? How did you get that screen?

I had earlier wanted to test the voice clarity of my (well my friend's, but that is another story) Spica. Your post made me do it urgently. I compared it with my trusty N73. Results:cooldude_007 said:
1. When Spica is not on loudspeaker, voice on the other side is indistinguishable from that of N73 (also not on loudspeaker).
2. When Spica is on loudspeaker, voice on the other side gets distorted. Basically it picks up more noise from the background to send to the other side. This was also compared with N73 on loudspeaker.
Test methodology: Used the same DOCOMO SIM with both the phones. Played my old tape recorder, which itself does not have a very clear voice, but it is reasonable. I placed this tape recorder on one side of a steel plate, and the phone on the other side of the steel plate. I did this to avoid the mobile signal's interference with speakers. I called the same landline number with both the phones and tried to judge the quality of sound at the landline.
Music that was playing was mostly human speech, with very sparing usage of instrumental music.
I tried low volume, medium volume, and high volume. Volume didn't make a difference in clarity on either phones. Both the phones performed indistinguishably from each other as long as speaker mode was not turned on.
With speaker mode, like I mentioned in result summary, there was significant worsening of audio at the other end in case of Spica.
With tape recorder playing near the landline and judging the quality of sound at N73 / Spica - There was no difference at all.
OT : I found (actually rediscovered after a long time) an annoyance with N73 - its call log vanishes if you change its SIM.

i remember getting the messaging problem once when i was on stock 2.1.
have not noticed it again since i have modded to samdroid.

try out camera 360 app guys.... lots of effects and control.
took the following pic from train on sunday while travelling back home from matheran.
effect is HDR Simulation (heavy)
the app can do much better than the stock camera app.

Even i face the messaging problem on Samdroid mod. Refresing it will correct the senders name
One more issue - when i get a call, sometimes it is impossible to slide the answer tab. It doesn't slide at all, it just stutters there.I have to pres the hardware call key to accept the call.

Whenever i try to update firmware through KIES, it gives me error message that internet is not connected. System is connected to internet. Tried on many system, still the same error. See the attached image
And at the same time kies prompt me "New update for kies is available, do you want to install it"
Anyway to fix this problem ???

an update about the battery level monitors..
rather an observation,
the level indicates lower than actual battery if the battery temperature keeps increasing (while usage i mean)
while it shown proper higher level if the temperature is decreasing.
a few nights ago i was charging the phone, it was not charged completely and ususally battery becomes warm while charging... the battery indicator indicated 90% .. the cell was never in 'Completely Charged' state.. Battery temp was 34c and it was at 4100mV.
i was in an area without network coverage and ambients were below 20c. My fone was virtually in airplane mode due to now network all night and battery was at 24-25c all times..as i checked in the morning.. and the battery indicator indicated 100% charge... did i charge it while asleep ?
i guess the battery apps are not accurate at all..or maybe they are too intuitive
