ICS Update Problems with Email and Swype

Dear All,
I am new to this forum and I hope I have put this in the right section of the website.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2, which was absolutely perfect on GB but ever since the ICS update I have had countless problems. Other things I can let slide but day to day problems I just can not deal with.

The first is the email app that comes with the phone. I set my hotmail account as similarly as I could when I had GB, but no matter what I do to the emails on the phone i.e. Delete, or mark as unread on my actual hotmail account ALL emails act as though they have not been touched which is extremely annoying.

The more serious problem is the fact that the keyboard randomly decides to switch between the symbol layout and alphabet layout repeatedly until it decides to stop by itself. During that time I am unable to stop it at all or to exit anything. The only thing is to restart the phone and this is annoying seeing as it happens even if you are wanting to send a quick text or search for something quickly on Google.

I have noticed most of the update problems have occurred on the Galaxy S2, it is as though they cleverly so individuals would finally give up with it and update to the S3 which is not far from being released now.
If anyone can help with either of these problems I would be immensely thankful.
 
Hello and welcome to AF. :)

I've heard that doing a factory reset usually fixes these strange bugs after software updates. What carrier are you on? I hope this helps. :)
 
Thanks for your reply it is much appreciated, but I have tried a factory reset one too many times which was of no use at all.
My carrier is o2, I've rang them but they had no idea.
