I completely plan on keeping it! Of course the curiosity/change bug hit me and I HAD TO flash it with the new Rom that unlocks the GPS! Nice! However, I have run into some things that I find kinda meh. Maybe some of these have been answered, but I've not seen much.

This is just with the flashed Rom that was released (haven't used any cooked roms). Is there any difference between the XT9 keyboard/phonepad and the original Samsung Keyboard/phonebad? It doesn't look like it, but I've found using Txt9 more of a pain with this. Spelling out a word it doesn't know brings up the Add Word option, however if you hit it it just vanishes.... strange. I've also noticed when I get text messages now, they tend to add up. Meaning - Say I get 3 text messages from one person. I go and look at them. Well, it will only act as if one text messages was viewed. I then have to go back out and back in. Before it was simply going in once and showing them all as viewed. This is a big annoyance.

I don't use Xt9 but . . . have you tried highlighting the word you want to add and then hitting 'Add Word'?
The messaging bug will probably be fixed in the final release but in the meantime try turning off threading. Settings/System/Text Message conversation mode off.

I think the Rom adds a lot of good stuff though. I am trying out Iguidance and so far I enjoy the GPS unlocked (and I'll need to use it soon). Hmm, is it me or is the accelerometer a bit strange now. This could honestly be me since I've not had it for long, but I thought before if I layed the phone on a flat surface (desk) and turned it - it would kick in. Not the case now as it has to be held upright and then moved in a direction for it to kick in (once again could just be me).

Try adjusting the accelerometer sensitivity. Settings/System/Motion Sensor.

I suppose it is all minor things, but I figured I'd see if anyone else had any issues or solutions (I text a lot). I know as of right now there is no going back to original Rom. I just hope Verizon releases an update soon with the GPS unlocked... as they possibly said they would.

Any help/ideas/thoughts are welcomed. I am glad to have found a forum like this! A lot of helpful and cool folks here. Thanks!
