If you can press the menu button you could navigate to privacy settings and do a reset.

I don't know why, but I left the phone to sleep. just now when I woke up, everything works fine.... weird.....

Think there's a discussion about the flip here: http://androidforums.com/motorola-d...-htc-desire-eris-flip-clock-widget-droid.html

Not sure if any of the things discussed there work though (don't use them myself).

Just wondering, why Desire HD has it and legend don't

Not sure if it's froyo related but there's a new version of market.
I preferred the simpler approach of before...

Me too. Why do we always have to have extra bloat with every update?

Agreed, the new market is much less user friendly. The last one with tabs across for comments etc meant much less scrolling.

I also had a few problems with my phone being a bit laggy after the froyo update. I tried the factory reset and it seems to have done the job. One thing I found though, I changed my googlemail account to gmail, thinking I may as well sort this out whilst doing the reset (http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=159001). I used @gmail in the set up but it didn't like it. Reset again and used @googlemail, despite my account still being set to gmail, and now works.

Has anyone found a fix for;

"> If your keyboard layout is "Phone Keypad" or "Compact QWERTY" you cannot minimize the keyboard which is quite annoying".

I find this very annoying as it was something i could do before and was happy with. Pressing the back key only works on certain occasions. It was much simpler having a small down arrow on they keyboard

Are you using the stock keyboard? I'm using Smart keyboard pro and the back button always works...

To be honest I think smart keyboard pro is worth the money for the other funtions / customisation abilities so it may be worth a look for you. There are other keyboards on the market that you might like as well...

 

[jimiramone]

yea just the stock one. The stock one would be ideal if only it had down key on it to get rid of it. does the keyboard you are using have that function? how much was it?

 

[staffsmatt]

sorry for the delay in replying. It doesn't have a dedicated softkey but I've not come across any place where the back key doesn't get rid of it. was there anywhere in particular you were thinking of?

The pro version is
