A few quirks since rooting

[Guest TheScrub]

Hi everyone, hope you're all having fun flashing now there's no risk of USB bricking :(

I don't know about any of you but I've noticed a few strange goings on with my desire since rooting using the r4 method.

SMS's occasionally fail to send (not an operator issue, I work for them and checked), ring tone failing over to default or other as ringtone on SD card was unavailable (wider SD card problem?) and the slide down to answer/up to hang up has randomly changed to an answer & hang up button.

These are all things i've only noticed in the last couple of days, my desire's been rooted for well over a week now :(

edit: Ok now the menu button brings up the keyboard, something's definately borked here...

Holding the menu button always makes the keyboard pop up, whether you are rooted or not :(

Fixed in 1.21 update:

Changes reported:

- Updates bootloader to 0.80

- New radio image

- New youtube app with HQ option (1.6.20E).

- Fixed htc's weather widget (integrated into clock&weather widget) not knowing where you are (1.15.xxx just said the name of the country in some countries).

- SMS issue (from non-numerical senders) is resolved.

- fixed random contact showing when receiving operator SMS.

- fixes the voicemail bug for the French carrier SFR (short voicemail number used to call 911/emergency).

- Messages app now shows a count on the number of messages in the SMS inbox.

- calendar/contacts bug - unable to store contact's birthday - has been fixed.

- Long click on the menu button when in home screen now doesnt pop up the keyboard, like it uselessly did before. <<<------------xxxx

- SMS reader does not show the little smiley androids any more - just the mere types.

- Exchange Company Address Book is now properly working. Was unable to use before the update.

- They have disabled the snooze function on the Optical trackpad for calendar events. This means that it is now possible to have the phone in your pocket without accidentally snoozing the alarms.

I know this, but it came up by pressing the menu button not holding.

Anyway a reboot sorted all these issues out, going to do a full wipe and flash to the MCR rom when I get the chance.
