Another welcome fix I've noticed with this ROM is when playing music, I no longer have a long delay after initially selecting a playlist/genre/etc. The music plays instantly.

I like this update a lot! I really like that there is no more lag when you text with the htc app.

Memory usage stays around 75% for the full day, and this includes alot of email, txt, and music playing. Battery life is ok, but was never really spectacular. Phone calls seem a bit better, so in areas where I used to be on the fringe I am getting good call reception.

All in all a good change.

So I'm just about to try this 3.04 update out. From what I have read here it seems that it is a wise decision. However, the only complaint that I have read from some people that is bothering me is that battery life is worse with this update. Can anyone confirm that battery life is indeed worse after update?

I think what some people are not taking into account is that after a ROM flash most people tend to use their phones a bit more than they would on a normal day. They've got to setup contacts, install tweaks, test everything out, fiddle with it, amaze themselves with snappier interfaces, etc. You get the point heheh. I put little weight into "I just flashed last night or yesterday and have noticed the battery doesn't last as long" type of posts. I personally can't really comment on the battery life myself since my phone is usually plugged into a desktop cradle/charger while at work and at home.

I don't think I fall into this category. I'm at the point with my Imagio that after I hard reset, I restore using SPB backup - a 15 minute evolution - and it's back to business as usual. My phone setup is pretty static at this point. I'm standing behind my battery life not so good claim but like I said in an earlier post, I'm wondering if there's a bunch of initial tasks running in the background on a clean install that are temporarily sapping battery life. From what I learned about the phone out of the box, I'm giving it a week or so before digging into any serious investigation on the matter.

One final note: it seems like every time I open COM MGR, my data connection is on . . . email sync is set to 30 minutes, phnes is set to CDMA only, etc. etc. Anyone else noticing an open data connection more frequently?

Great update except for battery, I had 75% battery at 12 midnight, went to sleep and and 7 am it was completly dead. not sure why this is happening but my phone used to last 2 days in between charges.

Agreed on that battery life point. Mine dropped fast and I had attributed it to all the setup done yesterday anyway. So far today it seems pretty normal. While I do notice a lot of tweaks that I like I don't see much improvement with "system speed" versus tweaks that appear to improve apps. For example switching apps and screen doesn't appear any faster, but some HTC stuff does seem to run better. Also can't judge speed until the next day as well as it'll seem faster until everything is loaded and you have a more normal load.
I agree that it is worth the upgrade, especially if like me you polluted your phone from all those supposed fixes from back when the phone launched that didn't do much.

I also installed the 3.04 update yesterday via the microSD card. (Which requires the card to be formatted FAT32 by the way -- in case anyone has trouble with that method). The update appears to be working well, snappier response times, and I think the new radio may have improved the 3G problem. After my normal bus route I'm usually stuck in 1X mode, but today I'm still at 3G. Thanks!
