My Problems
I just want to say that I love the idea of listing problems so that we will help fix the issue either internally or extenally. I also would like to state that this ROM is a nice step foward(from 2.09 and 2.16). However, I still have a couple of issues:
1. Bluetooth sounds better, not quite what i experienced in 2.16 + Touch BT (sfaure03?). It also does not autoconnect with my BT headset or my Premier 980BT. I have to turn BT off and back on for it to autopair. My Moto Q and Sanyo Katana(read free phone) did this feature quite well. I haven't had any other PPC's other than a Mogul(I had a Treo 700WX; but we all know that doesn't compare), so take that how you will.
2. Memory Management - Some people here claim better memory management, but I bootup starting at ~17mb. I used to boot up from 21-23 with 2.16 and idle around 20. I could open every program I had and close it with x-button and oxios and reclaim to around 19-20mb with 2.16. Now with that being said, my phone runs quite smooth. I am ok with the performance, but the numbers do make me thiink.
3. With the new Radio I don't have lockups anymore(I switch between weak sprint and weak roaming all day at my desk). However, I don't see the triangle when I know I am roaming. Is this a huge problem? No. Does it need to be fixed? Yes, it does.
4. My outlook email from work(exchange server 03) sometimes takes a minute to open...sometimes you have to close outlook and re-open it for you to be able to view the email. I also noticed that with this ROM it won't let me sync HTML based emails(the option in activesync is grayed out). So all emails i recieve are text only.
5. Sometimes after Sliding out my keyboard and sliding it in. the bottom half of the screen displays the old way(still sideways) and only the top half is usable. This is easily fixable by hitting the start button and hitting today. But something that is not supposed to happen. I also think the transfer of picture from portait to landscape should be faster and smoother.
6. Sometimes internet explorer locks up. I have just noticed this. It doesn't respond and run like it used to in 2.16
This is with 2.17 ROM and 1.47.01. Basically, new OEM Sprint ROM; hard reset after flash and without customizations .
I have the usual suspects installed:
HTC Home + emuntz customizer
xbutton 2.0
oxios memory manager
Sprint TV
Office 6.1(It had the same email prob before this install; even on 2.16)
PPC geeks MMS
PPC 6800 Hacks
Flashlight 2.0
PHM Regedit
TouchFlo cube
Jet BT extensions
Touch Camera Album and Cube
Cingular Music ID
Lordsmiths Battery Level
6700 Stats
Effcomm
Like I stated before, good step in the right direction. However, could still use some tweaks to be considered a non-beta ROM. Take note Sprint/HTC/Microsoft.
