New Diamond Maintenance Update: WTF?

SComp23 · #1 (**permalink**) 05-27-2009, 04:50 PM

I actually just found out about this update, I need to frequent these boards more often.

Anyhow, from my short experience with it thus far, it sucks. Texting is now a pain in the *** due to the smaller keyboard and the way the keyboard seems to just disappear for no reason. It seems slower. I'm not a huge fan.

Question: Does this update allow the G-Sensor to turn texts and emails in the landscape position, or do we still need a program like gyrator for this?

Does anyone else have problems with the new update? If so, any suggestions?

Thanks!

i have not tried the update cause im one of those that cant get p***** the boot screen when trying to load shipped roms.. however i am really curious, are you saying that when you add the update you are not able to change the keyboard being displayed cant change to full QWERTY mode.. does that drop menu for your touch input settings not appear or what?

I wasn't aware of this update, and probably wouldn't use it, the ROMs here are probably better than anything it's offering, but am interested in more information... do you have a link or anything? Thanks for sharing!

If you want any kind of help i would suggest using adjectives, and being more descriptive. No one knows what 'update' you are talking about but you...

this is the same rom upgrade that has been up for at least a month. Here is a thread that discusses our impressions of the differences/changes:

Also there is a "fix" for hte keyboard dropping in and out in text message (should be on that thread) and a link to hte old keyboard (larger) as well as fingerkeyboard (awesome!) for alternatives.
