Ok so moving from Wizard to Herald...

[Jaidnoire]

I upgraded from my beloved Wizard/MDA to the sexy Herald/Wing....my concerns:

- I got alot of cool registry hacks and what not from here for the Wizard. Do any of those work with WM6 or is it such a different OS?

- In general, are we looking at many programs for WM5 not working yet with WM6?

I've read conflicting info - does the Herald have A2DP or not? If not, does the .cab file that enabled it on my Wizard work with the Herald? (similar to my 1st concern, but more specific...lol)

In general - are those of you who upgraded from the Wizard happy with the changes? What do you miss from your Wizard that is not on the Herald?

Thanks!

*counting down the hours til my Wing's Thurs delivery*

Comparing Wing to Wizard:

Same processor
Same amount of memory
Same screen
5% heavier
10% less battery
NO IR!!!

Oh yeah, and T-Mobile really screwed up the memory:

The Page Pool is 3 times normal so it eats up a lot.
It runs a ton of T-Mobile specific crap so it eats up even more.
It then has memory leak problems so it has to be soft-reset daily to clean it up. (On one occasion, it said it had run out of memory and I had to kill an app. It listed the app I was running and 5 instances of "Phone")



The only plus in my book is that it is slightly smaller.

what you can do to kill the tmobile apps is to reset the Wing to initial factory settings then after you've done the screen calibration the customization msg will come up. at that very instant soft reset the WIng and no Tmobile crap will be installed.

I just got my T-Mobile Wing today and its charging as we speak. I have been looking around in here for the unlock procedures and the custom cooked Roms that I have grown acoustomed to with my Wizard. I miss Faria! lol

Really though if someone can point out the correct thread to follow as I have read horror stories of bricked Heralds.

[blackout203]

You just gotta check em all out lol. Theres been plenty of bricked devices, etc. but everyday we learn something new in the Herald forums. I paid to get my device CID Unlocked but its not necessary as the method of flashing is different then a modified RUU like the wizard used. Just when you get a custom rom downloaded, follow the instructions EXACTLY on what to do and you should have no problems. You should download the Tmobile RUU just incase of any problems though as I bricked my device once last week cause of simple error but the Tmobile RUU brought it back to life!
