Also the original OTA u have mentioned will be around 18th August...will it be hitting everyone around that time....what other plus points u notice in it as well....many thanks....

Wel battery life is to early to discus. It needs some more power cycles. For now: Normally on 3G mine dropped 9/12% every hour while in standby, yesterday it was around 4/6 % every hour while in standby. I have a lot of stuff that syncs (3 exchange push, 4 IMAP 1hour), Whatsapp, Viber, VoIP, Facebook, Twitter.
Overall the ROMS feels finished, unlike the ROM that the HOX came shipped with. Everything works good now, you can clearly see that HTC has listened to the people.

Well 18th of august is a first ETA, could be later. But just like all the OTA's now, 401 will be the first to get it, all the others will follow.

It is 2.6.39 but a new release. Don't know why they have not added 3.0 or 3.1, maybe it needs more debuggin or they want to keep it for Android 4.1... Don't know.

Or they just won't ever implement it...

Does the new HTC Sense have any new feature, or just under-the-hood improvements?

Yes they will, they have to if they want full use of Android 4.1

I know, seen that device aswel. Same chipset but LTE included. Also it makes use of the new touch technology on the SOC just like Nexus 7.

Email client is still incredible sh1t for html.....I can't believe this...yet I have to

I know this is not exactly on topic but does anyone know whether the email on CM10 builds can render this properly (at a more reasonable size!) ?

Thanks

If true, htc automatically cancels all hox users....

here is my hands on so far

This test update continues from 2.05.401.2

2.15.401.5 feedback

The rumours are correct, Sense 4.1 finally killed ultra ultra smooth Rosie

Also the homescreen flip animation is a little changed it happens slower a little like frame rate locked I love it

It can still drop frames if u push it...but I'm not sure ultra can be done this time

App drawer opening remains laggy but like the 2.05 leak more smooth and lags less often on stock kernel

Performance in games and CPU governor is the exact same as 2.05 including broken multicore in interactive governor

Governor values still resets on screen unlock

Live wallpaper are now working, the launcher remains 60fps even with the phase beam LWP

Multitasking min frees are still the same

Flicker share is back (was gone in 2.05)

Nope. Cause the HOX+ is a branded phone like the AT&T HOX.

Tegra3+ is just the cleanest yield of Tegra3 now after half a year they are starting to perfect the quality

Custom kernels for the One X are already pushing it to Tegra3+ land, especially with GPU unlock

Is the stock email working again? It's just that I know a few people such as myself that can't get exchange to sync and receive push email really prefer the stock over Gmail.
