Another Happy User

Hallo, newbie here.

My experience is also pretty much glitch-free in all the important areas. I have no problems with pdf (inside other apps, and stand-alone), the soft keyboard (HTC I assume, at any rate, not the original Android one), SMS or MMS, or Camera; no odd sounds playing, no continuing fc's (one suspected crash reboot, but it happened while the phone was in my pocket, might have been a stray push on the power button for all I know), no problems with music on the phone itself; no blank screen crashes, no screen locks; market works fine (there have always in my experience been times when things wouldn't download and install, no different with the rooted phone), so does Quickoffice. Those have been the major items I think so far mentioned.

I have found that links to apps and settings from the home screen cause problems -- all the 'can't do this or that' problems, and browser fcs. I uninstalled advancedlauncher which seems thoroughly incompatible. Widgets don't survive a reboot, but do survive until then. Some home shortcuts work, some don't (browser doesn't, WiFi on/off only works sort of, e.g.,). People have mentioned that apps can interfere with the ROM, not surprising I suppose. I installed a lot of eye-candy yesterday (screen effects etc; about half a dozen -- just curious, just playing); one or other of them made trouble, obviously making screen-changes back to home, e.g., very sluggish; I don't know which. I uninstalled them and returned to normal usage. I only wonder whether many of the problems are apps not ROM?

Bluetooth control of the music player (native and TuneWiki) is slightly different to what I have seen mentioned: the sound goes through alright, no interruptions, and volume control works from the bluetooth gadget (I don't know if that is significant); but stop, pause, next and previous do not work -- phone blinks when I push the button (like: What was that?), but ignores whatever it was made it blink.

The keyboard keys are more or less dicky as someone else has just been saying. But it is not, or does not seem to be consistent. Usually it works as expected for a while, then, it seems as if I hit a certain key-combination and the behaviour changes, especially the behaviour of the right alt key, and the left shift key. I imagine there is a combination I don't know about which is designed to change the behaviour, but I can't figure it out or reproduce it: it. The right alt key seems to get stuck on what used to be double-press for inserting special characters, the left shift key does nothing. After a while it seems to right itself again -- another mystery key-combination?

Finally: the red key doesn't do home then sleep, but only sleep or home. The home and green keys are dead.

It is possible that while I can make calls and text and so on, that I can't receive calls (I do receive texts and MMSs) -- more testing to do there.

I haven't wiped since I first rooted about a week ago. I installed via the update programme, the 4.1.10.1 as soon as it came out. Previously it had been: 4.1.5, 4.1.9.2, 4.0.4 in that order. I don't kill processes. I do do a fix_permissions if there appears to be something odd going on. I fsck the sdcard from my Ubuntu laptop, about every day, just when I plug the phone in.

Very fast, very slick, very good, very many thanks, not only to Cyan, but to all of you who post solutions and answers.

All this is very general. I hope it helps at least the larger picture?
