Samsung Galaxy S... highest spec Android phone released... also with QWERTY!

Does anyone else have issues with their phone messing up playlists? I have bunch of albums on my external SD card and randomly phone will say "unsupported format" when trying to play an MP3.
I have to restart my phone to get it to work and then it ruins my playlists, they show up but theres nothing in them just empty and says (0).
 
Ok has no one had this? I am getting seriously ****** off with it now! The files are even read only so I have no idea how it keeps doing it.

It is tiresome dragging them to wmp to create a playlist over and over again
 
Not I, my man. Had nothing but lagless joy since the Gingerbread update.

But as for your issue... have you checked out your SD card? There seem to be an awful lot of reports around at the moment of fake SD cards (either lower capacity formatted to appear larger, or cheap makes that degrade quickly and corrupt files stored on them). This seems to be especially the case with the large capacity cards (16 or 32GB). Might well be miles off base with that speculation, but just a thought.
 
If a playlist contains nothing (or files with the wrong location etc...) android deletes it automatically. Yeah :/
 
I can open the playlists via windows when the card is mounted and it works. Phone just isn't showing the tracks. That is both when it is working normally on the phone and when it isn't.
It will work flawlessly for a few days then just stop, doesn't put them in album folders very well either which is annoying.
 
So since getting 2.3.3 on my phone it's not 'clearing' the read emails sent to my phone.
So that whenever I get a new email from work through my exchange server in the status bar I now have '33 unread emails' but open the email app and they are all read.

Is this a sync issue between reading them on my PC and the phone not updating their status as 'read' easy fix hopefully?
 
It's because once things are added to the status drop down they can't be removed without user input iirc so they keep piling up. I must admit i have had this 2.1 though so I'm used to it.
 
My biggest issue is the os randomly deciding it cant read mp3s. One day I'll be listening to them on the built in player, the next day it will say it cant read them :/
 
Many others noticed a really massive change in battery life on 2.3.3?

Since last charge, I've been uploading photos to Google Docs, setting up lists in Springpad, downloading and testing out 4 or 5 calendar apps and a few task lists, sending 4 or 5 texts, regular news reading on Tatpu and checking Twitter with Seesmic, fannying around with various icons and widget arrangements on my home-screens, setting up accounts in Dropbox, Evernote, Read It Later...

Basically doing a whole bunch of stuff, having the screen on a fair bit and frequently using wifi.

Only just dropped below 50% battery after 34 hours since unplugging!

Battery life sucked right after the upgrade, but once I recalibrated the battery it's been phenomenal. This down to 2.3.3 or was my battery calibration just likely a bit screwed up previously? Curious to know....
 
Well my battery is being stupid. I charged it last night, think it was 95% when I unplugged. Within like 3 hours its on 71% and I haven't used it!

You're not signed into Latitude, are you? There seem to be lots of issues with it eating battery by overusing the GPS. I had Maps sitting at 37% battery consumption and terrible battery life until I signed out of Latitude.

Also, recalibrating the battery after the firmware upgrade really seems to have made a difference as well.

Not opened up Latitude before so, no. Also turned my GPS off from the notifications bar thing.

I'll go google what a battery recalibration is and how to do it. Sounds like it takes a lot of time either way!
 
Well Android system is only 2%, stay awake is 2m 47s.

Its the Android OS which is the one taking up the battery, CPU usage: 2hour 50minute it says
