So every time I click on something (i.e: Start) These weird boxes appear in the middle and move out, I tried getting a screenshot of it but they wont show, it's getting annoying
How can I get rid of them?

I don't know how to explain it, but for about half of the apps that I installed, Android started showing their "full" name. Instead of just ChompSMS, it shows com.p1.chompsms.ChompSMS.
I'm new to Android, not sure what's happening here. Reinstalling doesn't help and first few times, it does display everything correclty.
Are you actually looking in the Apps menu or holding down the hero screen, accessing that way and then going into a menu in there?
Apps folder is accessed by the up arrow on bottom left of screen.
If you are doing the right way and it's happening I'm afraid i'm not sure, but sure someone can help.

It's the actuals apps menu. You delete the app, reinstall, the name shows fine. You run it once or you reboot the phone, "full" one starts showing. It's doesn't do it for all apps, just a couple (about 5 or so).
Since I updated to 1.2.A.1.174 I've noticed a couple of problems
Embedded Youtube videos no longer work (The video player launches, the busy spinner spins for a while, then I get a "This video cannot be played" message)
The "Categories" option in the YouTube app never finds anything anymore (but videos on the front page play ok)
Text displays oddly in the web browser - text disappears when the letters reach the bottom of the screen, rather than scrolling off. This is most noticable when letters with trailing tails (g, q, etc) disappear sooner, leaving words with letters missing at the bottom of the screen
Anyone else seeing these, or has my update (or the subsequent universal root and crapware removal) gone wrong?

I noticed this in aContacts app - the work "log" shows as "lo " etc. Thought it was a bug in the app as that's the only place I've noticed it though.
I have a feeling YouTube being broken is unrelated to the update - I've noticed that the categories view loads fine when my phone is on 3G, but fails over my home wifi, so there might be something else going on. I haven't tried playing embedded videos over 3g yet, as I don't want to waste my bandwidth!
The pop up (one that shows the text and you are able to reply) sometimes will stay centered, and when the keyboard pops up(to reply) you can't see the text.
Handcent pop up is supposed to go to the top of the screen, how can I make it go to the top all the time? I didn't have this issue pre 2.1
Same thing here, quite annoying...
bump, looking for help still
Same thing happens to me (even with 1.6) if I play a game or have another app running.
Its not all apps though, just some of them.
On my camera sometimes when i go to take pics the menu the pops up on the right giving you flash options, ect...sometime parts of it will be clear, like see through then you restart camera and it back to normal, its like the menu background partially disappears anyone else notice this?
Yeah, its on the bottom right corner of mine sometimes. Not sure what causes it. I've also had my lock screen dissapear. It was just not there one day, then it came back like a week later.
I recently recieved my Xperia S back from Sony today as I had the yellow tint issue. That seems to be gone 'fingers crossed' but it seems like I now have a more annoying issue
The bottom right of my screen is less sensitive than the rest of the screen. For example when unlocking my phone I find it very hard to get the unlock icon from one side to the other. It gets to about where the camera Icon is and then it goes back to where I dragged it from. It take me about 5 attempts to get it unlocked.
Also when draging icons on the homescreen to the far right position on the homescreen dock and I can have some trouble picking up the icon or moving it there.
I've found a part of my screen that doesn't respond at all! On the app drawer the icon next to the sorting option (Manage Applications button) doesn't respond at all. I've tried clicking it over 20 times and nothing has happened. If I drag the status bar down over the icon it doesn't recognise that my finger is touching the screen and then the status bar falls the the bottom of the screen.
I've tried restoring my phone and trying a newer firmware but the problem is still there. Did they do something wrong when they put my phone back together? Is there anything I can do rather than sending it back to Sony?
