- Enclosed email addresses: it is now possible to extract an email address from a text message and then add it to a Contact’s entry
- Incoming text messages: partial black screen when message exceeds two lines no longer occurs
Partial fixes:
- Contacts backup: very rarely, the .vcf backup created will turn out to be an unusable 0kb file – for this reason, all backups should be checked immediately after creation; if this is issue has occurred, please contact Punkt.’s Customer Support team for a workaround
- Home screen: returning from a notification may cause the Home screen to be displayed incorrectly – this can be resolved by locking and unlocking the phone
- Call key: most bugs related to using the Call key other than for making calls have been fixed, but some remain
- Contacts: calling and texting a contact for whom only one number is listed is now a one-step process, except when this is done from the search screen
Known issues:
- SMS messaging: when creating a message in the usual way, if a recipient has multiple numbers then only the first number that was originally saved will be available for texting to. Circumvention: to send a text to the recipient’s other number(s), begin the process from the Contacts list. Additionally, consider deleting the contact’s entry completely and then creating a new entry for them; while entering their phone numbers, ensure that the first one to be entered is the number most likely to be texted to.
- Reminders: a Note’s pop-up Reminder notification is currently only shown for 60 seconds (the Note itself remains until it is deleted by the user)
- System languages: some text strings remain translated
- Starting up: there is a delay of 5-10 seconds after entering a SIM PIN during start-up
- Adjusting call volume via the Calls Options menu: this does not work correctly if the phone is connected to a Bluetooth device
- General: when unlocking the keypad, the screen will sometimes be incorrectly illuminated. Locking and unlocking again will bring it back to normal.
