I've finally bitten the bullet and installed the rooted version of Android, in line with the recent instruction set (Linux for Cosmo). It was a bit of a wrench to watch the carefully set-up and arranged screens of apps disappear down the tubes. Hey Ho.
Despite a few trepidation's, the install appeared to go well. At least, the re-boot did display the options. However, it's at this stage where the problems arose. Try as I might, I cannot invoke any of the options. The instructions are plain. "Press VOL+/VOL- to move up/down. Press ESCAPE to select". The snag here, is that VOL+/VOL- (Fnc,Fnv) does nothing. The command, when booted works perfectly in raising and dropping the speaker volume, but not in the options menu. Too, in many occasions when re-booting from a normal shut down (Long press on ESCAPE), the options menu is NOT presented. But if closed down by selecting to re-start, in the close down menu, the options are always displayed. Something I find rather annoying, is the 5 seconds before an automatic default boot begins. 5 Seconds!!!! It takes more than five seconds to read and assimilate the list of options, never mind the two key Fn command to pick an option. If such an action were actually possible.
I'm a bit reluctant to go through the process of loading in all the apps I want, setting up Contacts and the phone system, if there's a chance that I'll have to go through the install process again.
