Bugs in Jelly Bean

Honestly, the kb has always been one of the best features of HTC Sense IMO. Not happy that they made it less useful and less efficient.
I contacted HTC today about the proximity sensor issue and got this reply on factory resetting the phone and wiping the partition. It didn't work for me but I thought I'd post it in case it helps others.

e:can?t open /cache/recovery/command
e:/ failed to mount /sdcard (no such file or directory exists)

Me too! Would it be so hard to give us OPTIONS?
Drop keyboard: Enable/Disable
And the continuous wrapping home screen...I'd rather have the old way with the floating wallpaper. Choices people, that's all we're asking for. Instead we get used to something we LIKE, and then boom, it's gone because some nameless faceless person had an idea.

Also, when using the browser on a web page like this forum, I keep getting the top tray dropping down every 20-30 secs, which probably isn't a good thing for signal. I'm betting that it is a poor signal response or something, which I didn't have in this same location before the update. Hope battery isn't worse now.
I've done a 4 restarts today. This thing is driving me crazy. My battery died even though I barely used my phone. Voicemail app wouldn't load for like 3 minutes. Same with my contacts, text messages, etc. When someone calls me, I accept the call and then the screen goes dark. Doesn't come back right away when I hit the power button so having a hard time hanging up on people, putting it on speaker, etc. The whole phone is super laggy and slow. Help!
Just press the back button and it'll make the keyboard go bye bye

Only true bugs I find are the proximity sensor going loco and voicemail app going black when listening to a message. One other thing which is probably that I type to fast but sometimes the word doesn't fully appear till I stop typing

The resolution on camera pics set as wallpaper seems very grainy now. Didn't used to be bad like that for pics in the camera gallery.
Why? You have to press a button either way! Your just being nitpicky!

No, he has a point. It is not as "intuitive" to press the "Back" button just to make the keyboard hide as it was to use a dedicated key. I can see this frustrating a lot of users. I would consider myself a pretty astute Android user, but it didn't occur to me to try "back" until it was posted on this thread...
So for absolutely no reason, phone just sitting on my desk for a long time, it is now finding and connected to my home wi-fi. Nothing done or changed since I last tried.
Of course, now, I am having the proximity sensor thingie issue when talking on the phone. *sigh*
I am not factory resetting a third time dammit! :}

Agree. It is also much more intuitive and efficient when writing a long business email that needs to be accurate.
I think the kb has been made worse in several ways.
I'm pretty that the mic only hides when you're in an app that has a mic of it's own in the input filed field, like Google Search and Google Now. The mic seems to be there for me when I'm in app that don't have their own mic, like Google Voice text, Gmail, and Email. Not true for Swype, though, no mic no how.

This is only for the stock keyboard, not true for Swype, which has no mic no how.
For those experiencing battery drop quicker than before and are in areas with no LTE yet (like here in Phoenix), the upgrade to Jelly Bean reset the "Network Mode" to LTE/CDMA which would leave the phone continuously scanning for LTE.
To set it back: Settings>Mobile data>Network mode>CDMA only.

Is the vm app going blank when listening to a message when you put the phone on your ear, or in speakerphone mode also?
If listening in your ear, the prox sensor turns the screen off so you don't touch vm functions. (unlike the old version were I kept touching buttons while listening to my vms)
