anyone else having problems with the Swype keyboard since the update?
1) keyboard sometimes doesn't come up (blank area where keyboard should be)
2) keyboard unresponsive for the first 5-10 seconds
3) when switching from landscape to portrait mode, keyboard attempts to stay in landscape mode showing only the left half of the keyboard

Anyone getting this error while trying to get the update? 100% stock

I had that issue before. It's most likely a sim card issue. So you will need to get a new sim card and then you can get the update. That's what fixed it for me.

Holy crap Google Maps is crippled!

Not crippled, just location services. I found the problem. I had to clear my cache in apps and remove Google Maps, reinstall, turn on Google location services from the auto prompt and then reset the device. Everything works now. Just a update glitch I guess.

Anyone else having problems getting the Amazon app store to work after this update? I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times but after clicking the app icon it will open for a second and then crash.

Try to clear data in the boot loader. Turn the phone off, then while pressing and holding the home and volume up button, press and hold the power button.

When in the menu select clear cache

Dumb question time: I have not been able to access the contents of my SD card since I got this phone (December). I was told that an update would fix that problem. Is this that update? Apparently I am not the only one experiencing this problem, but I can't find any info on it. My phone is reading the card and says it is mounted but I can't access it or transfer to it. Driving me nutz.

Also, when you set your own background from an image you have( in the stock messaging app) , it is darkened to where it doesn't even look like the same pic. Other than that I seem to be running faster everywhere else.. So far. The background thing happening to anyone else in the messaging app?

This has happened to me as well. I dont understand why they would even give you the option to use your own picture as the background if it is dimmed and you can barely see it. 4.1.1 was fine and the picture was the same brightness as the actual picture you took. 4.1.2 dims this "custom" picture and it is now way less visable. Definitely bothering me as well if anyone has any ideas on how to fix this.

Yup, same thing here, keyboard takes a long time to pop up at times and it's quite annoying. Just started after the update.
