I agree with everything else you say - but why the hell would you want to watch video in portrait mode?

Don't care much about the portrait mode... Just want the MMS to be enabled... that's all.

Looks like Portrait mode was the cause of the delay maybe.
Latest released firmware has a bug in the OHM Daemon.
