In the leaked update, lots of ppl were complaining the accuracy of swype was very poor. Is it working fine now?

I am actually on the opposite of that opinion scale. I think swype does a great job at typing/predicting what I wanted.

What about the hardware locked 3 button issue

Did they fix the hardware locked 3 button issue in this official OTA?

Not me, the voice input is so poor it's comical.

Did they fix the isues with the stock music player? (problems with large music databases, no .m3u support)

I heard that if you are rooted you can still get OTA updates because you don't change the firmware. Is this true? Because I would like an OTA update to fix my GPS. and i'm simply rooted for wifi tethering.

I noticed everything in the first post plus.

1. Photo Viewer/Gallery shows newest photos first. The way it should have been!

JimDog · Oct 8, 2010

GPS does appear to be fixed. Using GPS Test from the Market I was NEVER able to get more than 2 satellites in use (even though it would see 10 to 12). Right after I updated, I went outside and within 10 seconds GPS Test said it was using 9 out of 10!!!!

Used MyTracks to track me and walked around the campus...it wasn't a perfect track but it was WAY better than before. This was just a short test, but based on what GPS Test is telling me I have to think that it is indeed fixed.

That was my experience. I was rooted via the OCLF app without the lag fix installed. The update installed fine and when it was all done I was still root.

4. Looks like we can assign ringtones with stock contacts app

I can't seem to find this one in Contacts - how does one assign a ringtone to a contact?

Edit contact - select ringtone,
choose sound -> and browse your mp3 file.
