Verizon 8x GDR2 Update - NOW LIVE!

Group msg seems to be working now after a soft reset.

I thought GDR2 was supposed to allow us to select any "lens" app and use that as the default camera app... I can't find where to do this. If I go into settings->applications->Photos+camera, there is an option to change what happens when you press the camera button, but only "Camera (built-in app)" is there, not other options.

Maybe I was mistaken about this feature? (I have an 8X on Verizon).

I was wondering the ssame thing. I'm only speculating, but I'm thinking its now up to the devs to add that feature to their apps.

Anyone having problems with texts? RRandomly I'll just start getting the "Cant send try again" error. I have to soft reset to fix. Anyone else?

yes, the "Can't Send Message Try Again" thing is driving me up a wall. It *never* did this until after the GDR2 update.

Same deal with the Try Again thing. About ready to toss it through a window.

Same thing here. I thought I was getting bad reception or something, but it only started happening after GDR2. Generally if I just delete that text, wait a little while, and write it over again it'll work.

It's really annoying.

I was going that, buy eventually that wouldn't work. Hitting "Try Again" was useless, tho now after 2 or 3 tries it will go thru. Better than soft resets, but still annoying.

Heard the "other storage" bug fix was true only from the update going forward... so it doesn't actually reclaim the space. For this reason I did a hard reset.

I am having the sms bug as well.

Yep, having the same text issue as well. It didn't seem to start right away after the update bit now it's happening every day. There doesn't seem to be any specific reason why it starts doing it. Tonight I was trying to send texts to three people and none would go through. I restarted and texts started to go through for one of the people but not the other two. Extremely frustrating.

Agreed. It's getting more frequent, too. I'm so annoyed.

I've had the stalled texting issue as well. I'm not sure what causes it, buy when I'm at work it happens. Then when I get home the texts go through. Maybe some cell tower switching issues?

I'm also having an issue with my phone always failing to connect to my Facebook IM through the Me Tile. Every single time. I rely on that a lot, too, to sync my notifications and Facebook messages.
