I guess You have to press it a few times before phone goes to sleep or wakes up ?
The same for me.
I'll have to send it for a repair I think as this is 100% hardware related.

Same here. I think it's software related, because before the update everything worked fine.

Pure time coincidence. For me the problem started shortly before the update.

When my phone is in airplane mode it does it too, only in airplane mode

I got the update last week on O2 Ireland.

Music and Data Sense included.

After installing and running 'Storage Cleaner' I have 880?Mb free space. Previously only about 130Mb.
That said, I have noting downloaded to the phone really, except 3 mail accounts and Wordament.

yes this is not gdr2 problem i think so .. this is a hardware problem and also this is a general problem for htc windows phones .. and the other big issue is random restarts and i think this is a gdr2 issue .. im waiting gdr3 maybe this update will solve the restart issue

No need to scream, really Soon You'll discover it's not so revolutionary that You thought before ;-)

Ha ha ha! Well I was a little excited but it's mainly because of FM Radio which I am a huge user of and of course the "Other" memory bug.

didn't notice any change to the other storage management. make some space app is still useless and cleaning temp files does nothing.

I installed GDR2 and did a factory reset, we will see soon if the problem is solved

C'mon... Let's face the facts : HTC 8S is a low memory phone and no OS update will correct this, unless it will allow to store the application data on the memory card. This is sad, but it's true. And it's very strange that Microsoft cannot propose any solution like this; back in my Android days I had a phone which had 512 MB available for applications but I was keeping ofer 12GB application data (mostly for Gameloft games) on the microSD card... still having over 320MB from these 512MB free for next installations.
