SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!! (3.0.1 RC 5/21) - Page 48

I have no problems with facebook, I tried it just now again to make sure, and other than forgetting where the facebook icon was in MS3, it connected without issue.

I read itouch24's bug list, and there is no question about the landscape/portrait switch lag, but I can live with that!!

About the apps closing...are you seeing that on the official release version? I had a HUGE memory leak with the leaked version, that resulted in not being able to keep apps open for more than a few seconds at a time until I did a reset, but I have gone a couple days with the official (only reset because I tweaked the lifestyle layout to 5 pages) without this issue.

I see what you mean about reminders as well, but I also use S2U2, and that handles my reminders for me, so I am not worried about that bug (I think I remember you use that as well???).

I also never have issues with facebook...

i am using the release version and today i had issues with opera dropping

I use pocketshield instead of s2u2 .. which is also going to implement snoozing for reminders which will help me out... pocketshield is not as much of a battery drain as s2u2

I hope they also introduce the snazzyness of weather plugin that S2U2 has.

Alright, I've put up threads on their forum complaining about little stuff here and there.

Whats up there Caddieguy. Well, i was using mobile shell from day one, but i just cant stick with it. I like your custom icons too much to ditch P+

i really really wanted to like MS 3.0, and i think i did for a couple days. But there's just too much goin on with it. This is gonna sound super stupid i bet, but i like the simplicity of MS 2 more, and went back to it. I dont know, maybe i didnt give it enough time, but i just wasnt "feelin' it" with MS 3.0. Im sure ill give it another go, one of these days.

My bad....your right (been a while) WP gives current on Today, but still highs + lows on S2U2.....sorry!!

Can you pic items in there? I haven't attempted that yet....I really like that launcher though.

Another thing...has anyone found a My Menu-type od area like on the old Shell where we could add apps to the different folders (Media, Games.....)?
