Default Bugs in OTA 2.3.3 for Desire Z - add yours

While generally being quite happy with the Gingerbread update for my Desire Z, clearly there are a few glitches.

First of all, my DZ is a Nordic version with the characters Æ, Ø, Å, Ä and Ö on the hardware keyboard.

On 2.2 before the OTA there was a bug which consistently caused capitalization of Æ, Ø and Å (æøå) when using the hardware keyboard. I don't know about Ä and Ö which are only used in Swedish and not in Danish and Norwegian.
This bug is now fixed using the native keyboard but still present using Scandinavian Keyboard which I have installed from Market. I must admit that I have not contacted the developer to ask if this could be a bug in the app.

Sadly, I have now experienced another bug related to the hardware keyboard [B]after[B] updating to 2.3 - today it happened for the second time.
When typing in Whatsapp and the SMS app (and possibly other apps) using the hardware keyboard pressing "S" will open the SMS app, pressing "G" will open Gmail and pressing "B" will open the built-in browser (not Dolphin HD which is set to default). This is fixed by a reboot (temporarily, it seems). Incidentally, the bug disappeared just now without a reboot while checking if it was also present in Gmail.

The missing pictures bug in HTC's gallery app is still there - still using QuickPic.

Anything that is not listed here - please add to the thread.

EDIT:
As many others I also get the constant Sense restarting thing which is driving me insane!

Also the brightness setting itself to maximum many times.

A handful random reboots. A couple happened with no apps open and doing nothing on the phone - I just happened to notice when it rebooted.

Since monomer888's advise I haven't had another shortcut typing bug happen (as of yet). Thanks!

I'm running software version 2.42.405.2 CL84109

Did someone have the same issue ?
Have had this happen to me before. Fix it by doing this:

Settings -> Applications -> Quick Launch -> Delete all shortcuts

Also [..] restart just to be on the safe side.
No guarantees but it might work.

My phone doesn't show album art in the music player, and it still doesn't work after several restarts, and dismounting and mounting sd card. Hope it gets fixed soon

- when exit from a fullscrren app, sometimes the status bar doesnt fit all screen, leting a space (about 10% of the screen space). Expanding the status bar fix it

- Portuguese translation erros remains from the first rom 1.34!!!!!:
Call volume is "Volume de ligação recebida" - shuold be "Volume da ligação"
The tips widget is "Dicar", should be "Dicas"
And a few others, that I don't remember now.

I've only seen some minor UI bugs and most recently, the capital letters typing a text message. That only happens when I try to type too quickly after opening the thread.

I must admit that I havent seen the gallery bug yet but then I don't really use the camera.

Might be worth posting your version number to track regional bugs.
Mine is 2.42.405.2
XDA2 -> XDA2i -> SE K750 -> SE K800 -> O2 XDA Orbit 2 (HTC Polaris) -> HTC Touch Diamond 2 -> HTC Touch Pro 2 -> HTC Desire Z -> HTC One

Remember to press thanks if you find my posts helpful.

Brightness will be stuck at max waking from sleep sometimes. Brightness slider has no effect. Fixes itself if you sleep then wake again.

Playback of videos not taken with the camera is very stuttery. THis wasn't the case in 2.2.

I had the missing gallery pictures problem and the brightness problem as well-I have it normally on auto-bright, but sometimes when I wake it or reboot it, it automatically changes to full brightness and I have to select auto-bright again.

Also, Sense restarts after almost anything.

After installing, deleting or moving an app, returning to the home makes sense crash and restart.
I have a gallery bug aswell, can click on some line with pic and wording not shown.
I had once a bug in the unlock pin screen, tapping 7 was actually hitting 4, same if I hold on 7, i see the pressed status of the 4 button onscreen. It happened when i had no charge at all and plugged the phone to the usb port of my running pc. It was also impossible to switch on the phone, i had to plug it out.
Can't remember more right now.
