You're not gonna get a half decent response, if any, just the generic "thank you for your question, unfortunately we have no idea what you're talking about".
This really sounds like you need to do a hard reset before you continue on. When my phone went from 2.1 to 2.2, I had to do a hard reset to solve lots of issues. It's a pain but sometimes you just need to bite the bullet and do it.Mine's been screwy since I installed GB.
*Battery life is shorter, phone gets hotter too.
*Randomly dies and reboots
*Missing apps and occasionally missing the task bar
*Music player won't load
*Can't view pictures
*Occasionally get a blank black screen when unlocking phone
*Lots of force closes.
I am getting more and more annoyed with the fact that I can't easily place the text cursor where I want it. On web pages like forums it's even worse.
