I heard today that turning down the speaker volume should fix this 
somewhat. Problem is that, after a reboot, this is set to max again. I 
intend to have a look at some files and see if I can incorporate a dirty 
hack for the time being, to fix this. No promises that this will bring 
anything, though.

I know about the wheel not working. I reflashed also, but learnt later 
that hitting the AUX button would have fixed the problem. You live and 
learn.

Too bad you're experiencing all that crap!

Maybe try an older image like 4.3.2 ? (Just an idea, I own the 
freerunner for almost a full week now...)
