Bugs I found

I came across this silly typo while just putting (guessing) URL at google.com. Instead of Error 404 (Not Found)!!! in the title, I found Error 404 (Not Found)!!1 I know it looks silly typo but when you are Google, you should be careful in every thing. I tried to report it to Google via twitter and chrome feedback but no response from them yet. It's still there as on Mar 6, 2016. Someone being lazy and (less excited) at @google #404 error page.

I found this bug in chromium / chrome browser which probably will affect someone (maybe no one). More details here.  https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=548419 Update 17-Jan-2017: The issue no longer exists in latest version of Chrome 53

I'm still struggling to get a hold of Google hangouts. It's supposed to be cool and awesome. But, I found it little annoying at times. Specially, it fails to show the current status of my friends in the list. This morning I pinged my friend to chat about something. Again, he wasn't shown online. Moments later, he pings me back and a new chat window pops up? Why? Was he using a different ID? NO. Why does it happen? I'm not sure if I would get a reply on this one. But logically it seems (from the recent behaviour of hangouts) that every chat is part of conversation ID (when they were busy copying others). So, a different conversation ID, leads to a new chat window.  But should that be a conversation ID? I don't think so. Another annoyance is that in open chat windows, if I'm switching between (browser) tabs, the cursor stays there, but the chat is scrolled back up and it shows, 1 new message. If you really wanna show 1 new message, show me wh...

I've noticed this many times in office, when I'm connected between fluctuating WiFi network (as I roam around), the nice feature of "Update apps over WiFi only" gets into action. I use a 2G/EDGE data connection when I'm not in office which is quite costly per mb of data. Well, the bug with Google Play app is that, once it starts updating app over WiFi, it doesn't stop if WiFi is lost. This has caused my cellphone bills to shoot up because I'm not aware when a WiFi connection is lost inside office. I believe even by design it should detect what kind of signal you are on and decide actions based on that. Using connected to WiFi as trigger point and not handling situations when WiFi is lost, would have costed many users. I'm not sure if people have already logged this against android. Well, I've logged it as Issue 53090 . Thank you Google. Update: I received following response from Google Play support team. Thanks for contacting us. I unde...

Google Reader is my favorite tool for reading blogs. It's so awesome that I've stopped visiting websites that I used to daily (sorry no ad clicking there). However, as I can notice, it's pretty buggy! Sometimes feeds are repeated. Unread count goes crazy. You can see below that I've read all feeds from AJE, however it still insists/shows that 2 items are unread. Someone has to work on that.
