3.16 worth it or wait poll
is the 3.16 worth it or wait for official release.

Re: 3.16 worth it or wait poll
Hands down, absolutely, without a doubt worth it.

Re: 3.16 worth it or wait poll
I guess it really only matters depending on where you live. Dropping data transfers is a deal breaker for me IMHO.

Re: 3.16 worth it or wait poll
I haven't experienced any bugs except for the thing taking up more ram.

Re: 3.16 worth it or wait poll
I like having the GPS built in. However, I have to restart it too frequently for my likeing. Otherwise, not enough differences to make me want to switch. I have a bluetooth GPS so I don't need it that bad.
On a side note, I have to say that the Sprint (TeleNav) Navigation software is pretty cool. Being able to speak the name of the address and having the street names read to you in the directions is cool. Try it for free yourself and see. Also, with TomTom running, I can't play music in the background. Unfortunatly, I am in a quandry. Go back to 2.17 or wait for the rom that is only about 1 month away. I guess ill just have to live with 3.16 for now. Reloading all my apps is just too time consuming. The last thing that was hard to take with 3.16 is that Card Export II does not work. That was hard to deal with when this was my PDA AND memory stick for work. All in all, 3.16 is not that bad but I can't recommend it. |

Do the upgrade. 3.16 cleared up some issues that I had with the stock ROM. The biggest two - speed and voice clarity. On the speed side, it sped up my data connections but also how the hardware reacted when I hit icons and phone keys. Much better.

Well, i tried the 3.16, but quickl realized the advantages of a WM6.1 Custom ROM...à la no2chem's ROM...I love it.

Re: 3.16 worth it or wait poll
Just for the GPS and live search alone is worth it! The device with WM 6.1 is soo much faster than the plain 3.16 release. Update to the 3.17 to get the radio then put in a custom rom.

Re: 3.16 worth it or wait poll
IMHO I'd wait for the official update + custom 6.1...:)

Re: 3.16 worth it or wait poll
I installed the leaked ROM and like it even though it has bugs. The most annoying of which is the dropped browser connections. The phone is much louder and easier to hear now. I love the GPS. Mine is very accurate and works great with Google maps.
The only thing I wonder.....if HTC doesn't fix the problems with this phone ever, what else is there for CDMA? And can we trust HTC since we all have had these problems. Why is vaporware so much better but reality isn't that good? What is the meaning of life? My dream phone: http://www.polymervision.com/frameset.php?id=&page= |
Re: 3.16 worth it or wait poll
^ Neat Idea for a phone.
I'm not waiting for nothing official. |
Re: 3.16 worth it or wait poll
I'm with you Vetvito. I never knew that you could do so much more on the Mogul until a friend introduced me to PPCGeeks. I've been using No2Chems stuff and it is too awesome. No more stock ROMS for me.

Re: 3.16 worth it or wait poll
How many of these "omg should I flash 3.16" threads are we going to have?!
|
Re: 3.16 worth it or wait poll
lots of locks requiring reboots... mostly related to the data problems... im going back to 1.40 and staying there.
|
Re: 3.16 worth it or wait poll
i was one of the people that voted this is worth the upgrade. but as of last night i upgraded to a rom that is 1 million times better: no2chem's WM6.1 (build5049). it is the absolute best of both worlds with everything that is worthwhile about the 3.16 rom as well as WM6.1. This was the most stressless upgrade i've ever done, and my device flies in everything it does now, with no bugs or resets!

Re: 3.16 worth it or wait poll
IMO 3.16 is the SHIZNITTLESHITZBAMSNATCHLE!!! I fux wit it!!!
