Number one rule when buying a smartphone is to always do a hard reset before setup/use.
Trust me, I've done more rooting, etc with Android phones than I care to even go into here. It's a sickness and addiction lol. I know all of the rules and I did a hard reset as soon as I installed the two updates that were waiting for me on this phone. It doesn't help the issue. I don't know if it's just me pressing the button in the wrong spot or what. I know for sure that I'm getting used to the keyboard and the overall size of the screen since when I go to hit the spacebar sometimes, I end up hitting the attach or speech recognition button.
I will keep getting used to it and see if this issue works itself out. Maybe it's just me lol.
