Re: Unofficial known issues list 9/15

Like perhaps hundreds of others, I'm trying Android on the TP2 for the first time now that sound is working. I'm sure I'll have lots of issues to figure out, but there are a couple of things that I've run into right from the start.

1) The hardware shift keys on the keyboard don't work correctly. The "FN" key seems to act as the shift key (it gives me CAPITAL letters), while the shift key gives me an unexpected set of other characters (sometimes numeric, sometimes various special characters, definitely NOT the characters associated with the key). This makes it pretty awkward to use.

2) Everyone here says that the front LED should be Orange in normal operation and Green when the phone is asleep. Mine is always Orange. Is there a setting somewhere to let the phone go to sleep? I haven't been able to find one.

I'm entirely new to Android, so I'm just feeling my way along. If anyone has any specific tips for me on these or other topics, feel free to pass them along. I've found several FAQs concerning the TP2 and Android, but many of them seem to be out of date. So I'm not sure what's real and what's not.

In any event, though, I like what I see. This is some very impressive work.

Thanks in advance.
