[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] casca:
Hello again guys.

Well, yesterday I was looking at all the ROM versions released by DZO and I came up with the idea that the issue of loosing network while charging during the night and the heat issue as well is probably due to something made along on the ROM updates and the new CAF releases since the initial one for the 3.0 Aurora version on 2-5-2012.

With rom 4.1 + 4.1 update1

, the issues I've spoken are present on my phone.

No doubt here and in this case it has a new CAF release. Like you can check this has been tested by the users and updated by DZO in a cycle of only 2-3 days, so any issues reported after the 28th of June have not been corrected I think.(I'm not complaining DZO! Just trying to figure out what happen/when and what is the current reliabler version)

With rom 4.0

, I have not tested yet but since it had a new CAF release aswell and had 0 updates from DZO in almost 20 days of use from the users (untill release of 4.1).

I think it either is perfect or has several bugs that weren't corrected. (I'm not complaining (again!))

With rom 3.1 + update5

, the issues did not happen to me so far, and the CAF release is older (from the 2nd of May 2012).

I believe this should be the most stable/mature version and almost free of bugs due to it having had a cycle of updates of 25 days, been tested a lot, and received a total amount of 11 updates from DZO to correct known bugs reported by everyone.

(Keep in mind that in both tests I've used "no frills cpu" to lower the maximum clock to 800mhz. Just in case this was a particular issue of the rom's overclocking to 1000mhz by default and my phones CPU had the possibility of not liking it a lot)

I've written the information I have considered relevant to expose my idea, and please excuse the long post.

I'm simply trying to continue to use ICS with the magnificent work from DZO and the less buggier Aurora ROM while figuring out at the same time if the phone could be defective

(I've excluded this one today, the phone is working nicely with 3.1+update5!)

.

The testing will continue for a while with 3.1+update5, and afterwards I might try the 4.0 just to confirm things out even if the 3.1 is ok.
