Hi, Since I made the RC33 update I am having the same problem you talked about here:
"2. The button to dial/answer a call, and to end a call won't react for like 5 seconds. I have to continuously press them in order to answer or hang up a call. It's been like that after the 1.1 OTA - and I mean that as soon as the phone rebooted after the update, I started getting this behavior. It's been like that months now. You can imagine how many calls I've managed to miss, and how everytime I have to hang up I feel, as I have to press the hang up button 15 times. " Could you find any solution for this matter? I am very frustrated with my G1 since then. And since the call function is the most used task, I feel like my money have been burnt, Thx Stoyan Damov wrote: > You probably noticed that I've deleted the entire thread.
