It may well be that you buy a device with an older firmware and that the upgrade from that older firmware directly to the newest leaves some garbage behind or whatever, so some back and forth to get a clean 1.9.16 may be needed in some cases to get it right.
Which would make it buggy. Fix it.

I don't want to upgrade/downgrade, reboot, re-register, de-register, shutdown, power up, reset, stand on my head, jump on one foot, in the hopes that it may fix a bug (until it happens to retrigger).

Maybe not related to a specific firmware, but there are some very clear cut bugs

You may call these "features", but it sounds buggy to me.

So you do have some issues, but everything "just works"?

This is the first I've heard of the problem. And I don't have a problem with it, so why fix it.

Sorry if this seems mean spirited, but I'm frustrated with my Touch.
