Hi Guys,
My 2 cents:
Background:
FROM
1.28.720.2 CL69397 release-keys,
Baseband: 10.43.9007.00U_10.11.9007.19_M,
Kernel: 2.6.35.10-ga76ba0d
TO
1.35.720.1 CL84734 release-keys,
Baseband: 10.43a.9007.00U_10.51.9007.27_M3,
Kernel: 2.6.35.10-g9cef70d
______________________________________________________________
What I noticed:(Please note that I have obviously checked the ones I was finding troubles with)
- WIFI: Noticeable change in signal strength. I have tried with being almost 15 metres away from the router and having 2 walls inbetween. Ofcourse, not the strongest, but better - Credit to the new BaseBand. Best performance not checked < known to drain bettery.
- EDGE: I dont use 3G, but EDGE connects fast and does its job.
- Keybd Response: No noticeable change, still lags and skips touch at times. Mangeable.
- Signal Strength: I am definitely seeing a better strength as now I get no call drop at places in my house where the call used to drop.
- Death grip: Present. Leads me to believe that this is a hardware issue. However I have zeroed the death grip to - left side, little lower than the middle of the back of the phone + the bottom right corner - Implying you have to simultaneously conduct these surfaces for the drop of signal to occur. So avoid touching there (atleast, simultaneously)
- Volume level: Not much change noticed, still low and tend to miss calls.
- Call clarity on high in call volume: Seem to have some what gotten better, now I can keep the in call to about 5th level and dont hear the cracking (echoing - type)
- GPS Lock: Noticeably faster and better, Could lock to satellites in seconds - INDOORS!!
- Much better memory management: The sense seem to use lesser memory now and is definitely smoother and faster - more responsive. I use Quick Sys Info Pro, and now it shows more free memory at any given time.
- Battery: YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It seems even better now. Standby loses almost nothing. Had it on 81% - after that downloaded upgrade, upgraded, used the phone as normal.. now after about 12 hours, still on 39%.
- Camera: Seems to focus better and the output is OK - Not much difference to the naked eye. I set Sharpness to -1 and Exposure to +1 - Seems OK <Still miss the HD2 cam!>
-Twitter/ Facebook: Connects faster, definitely. Lesser time to refresh, again remember I did these tests on EDGE, not 3G or Wifi.
-Talking tom works again without losing the sound
Well thats it from me!!
Hope this helped
Cheers!
EDIT: Please note that this is not an "official" changelog from HTC, this is just what I have noticed
EDIT2: If you want me to test something for you before you upgrade, please post. Will be happy to help out
