I had this behavior with one or two firmware releases. I finally just wiped the device and loaded 4.5.0.89 which I'm pleased to say works flawlessly. You might consider the same.

I'm going to resist the temptation this time. Hopefully, this release is not nearly as laden with bugs and I can eventually update to it.

I've got it loaded too. Call me extremely skeptical after how bad .160 was, but we'll see. Call timer is there. I can press the trackball and yes, the screen does seem to light up immediately.
