Nothing new in the new official HTC ROM???

[owziee]

Everything is quiet like the grave... I haven't heard or read a single word if there is anything new in this rom except the tiny bug fixes announced by HTC...

Anybody who already upgraded, have you noticed something new???

Hey

Apart from the official line heres what ive noticed (in twelve hours)
1. Sliding Bar answer on incoming calls
2. Text input keys are smaller so that you can actually see whats on the screen when youre writing (sic)
3. Ever so slight speed improvement on finger sliding
4. Video Call re-replaced with contacts (life saver)
5. Might just be me but the fonts seem sharper and slightly smaller.
6. Add a word in text messaging for example now gives a tick and a cross instead of "add"

Just random little things Ive noticed but as they say, its the little things that count eh!

no more flipping envelope when going to mail it's just there...

and some speed improvements, but in winmo only (not touchflo).

hey just a couple more

7. When connecting to PC via USB you get a 3rd choice - internet sharing (as well as active sync and disk drive)
8. HTC flo text message section now has a forward option as well as reply and delete - no need to view all messages to forward

ill keep you posted (or not if no one is interested)

Thanks for the replies

I feel like the Sliding Bar on answering calls helped me decide to upgrade, even though I'll loose the flipping envelopes

[jporch316]

Sliding Bar is good

Ability to forward text message from Touch flo is good

The rest are the icing on the cake!!!

Good luck - I had a bit of a scare with my upgrade last night - it stopped on 60% and told me the image file was corrupt. Worked second time though from the same file???

First bug: if you have activated a security PIN (like me) you can't block the phone keeping pressed the phone down button. The screen goes black for a fraction of second but the phone doesn't block.

Another thing I didn't notice before (so I'm not sure if it was the same in previous versions): you can add only 15 persons to your favorite contacts (the "Add to Favorites" buttons just disappears). BTW, is there any tweak to increase this limit?

[jporch316]

its always been 15

I use speed dials - easier and possibly limited to 100 (not sure)

The favourites has always annoyed me - you cant seem to change the order in which they appear and they look boring without a picture (IMO)!

There's also a new Java engine, better than the old one. At least better for Opera Mini 4.2, fonts are now bigger and easier to read.

A recommended update.

My envelopes are flipping fine.... just as they always have!

And for anyone's who's interested; if you've been using any of the cooked ROM's which have been released recently, you won't notice any difference with this official release because the ROM cookers have been using v2.03 for weeks!
