The new WM 6.1 HTC Upgrade - is it worth it?

[m0bov]

I've been looking at the various threads on here, trying to work out whether its worth upgrading or not. So far the issues have been:

MS Reader
Slow GPS lock

Are there any other issues, whats the general feeling, is it worth it or if it a'nt broke.......


Thanks

sure its worth it to upgrade to 6.1...but only if your rdy to hate your phone and then eventually hate yourself and then inevitabley hate life...which will then end with a slow and quiet pull of a trigger, which then in turn explodes your brains all over your desktop monitor and brand newly minted 6.1 kaiser.


enjoy!

wm 6.1 is the worst software upgrade i have ever come across - but i am sticking to it in the meantime due to time reasons.

threaded sms is the only thing that was nice - reminded me of my good old treo.

otherwise its a useless update and renders quite a lot of software non-functional.

The normal TCPMP version doesn't work in WM 6.1, I'm using a recompiled version (which does work), but now I'm experiencing some sort of vertical ripple lag when watching video.

Other than that, you've got threaded sms, your today screen rotates all at once (but it still takes about the same time) and perhaps some other thing, but I haven't noticed them yet...

Some issues are gone, new ones have appeared... I still think the upgrade is worth it though. But very far from nirvana :(

Only you can determine if the positives are worth the negatives when upgrading to WM 6.1.

As a Developers Forum our best advice to you is to investigate it for yourself after reading about the issues & solutions others have encountered during their transition. Then find a few Roms (cooked or Original) that appears to best suit your needs and give each of them a try.

In the end if you hate 6.1 you can always downgrade.
