Feedback

1. Data: Had initial setup problems. But then a few attempts made it work good. For some reasons, in the connections setup under Advanced – Select network.. rather than choosing my data connection name, it chose “Proxy network” – so had to manually change that – Tip for people experiencing data connection issues.

2. Wifi: No problems selecting multiple networks and routers. Wifi router: This always seems to be the hardest – always takes atleast 2 to 3 attempts before my lappy recognises my phone.

3. Internet sharing: No problems... works better than the router :)

4. Twitter/ facebook: i dont use it in Manila, as they have never been stable for me. Tried my hand on the facebook this time.. as NRGZ mentioned its new... but nah.. not for me.. i rather use the web facebook or the FB application.

5. Call connects nicely, no drops.. clarity is good.. The radio is flawless. All buttons (mute, add call, speaker etc) work very well while on call.

6. Battery: I started to flash in the above sequence at 79% and have 33% remaining now after a lot of playing around, data, music, and approx 20 mins of call. So far so good.

7. SMS - No problem. Dont use much of MMS

8. Music: Manil music tab works great.. no skipping. Tested on lock mode, unlocking from locked mode, screen dim, skipping songs to come to the one i want to hear.. all works nicely.

9. Photos: Smooth zooming, smooth scrolling. Works flawless on landscape mode. Camera - does what its supposed to do :)

10. General touch senstivity: Very smooth and responsive, just like te 8th july. Ofcourse it is speedy

11. Camera: Again no noticeable issue. Flash, zoom, focus, .. all works good. Please note: the flash doesn’t work if the battery is under 20%

12. Bluetooth: It CONNECTS!!!! Finally I have got the BT connected to my lappy.. maybe cause I got myself a new one :)

13. Google Maps: Quick and responsive. Direction mapping a bit slow. Maybe it needs time to settle down.

14. GPS: No lock on the satellite.. but that could be cause its really stormy weather... And I am insides as well :)

15. MS Office: All documents were loaded nicely. No error or incompatibility seen. A small lag on first start. After every soft reset, there is a small lag, but then it opens nicely.

16. In call and voice recorder - not yet tested

17. Active Sync: This is the one I feared the most. Actually before even starting to flash. As I have read at so many places in the XDA that Win 7 and the WDMC can be erratic. I just upgraded my 4 year old WinXP pro to Win7 (brand new Sony Vaio :D) – AND... No problems at all.. syncs well.

18. Push Email: 1 Gmail and 1 hotmail account. All OK.

19. An eye candy as always.. The bold fonts actually look good... and its a good change from the usual.. i like :)

20. Calendar Year view fixed - We can finally see the dates when you select the year format in the calendar tab :D

21. Internet applications - Youtube.. works nicely.. no zoom bar though.. but now I have a slight problem, cannot locate where the stupid cache goes, as my memory is down by 3MB :(, FB - Good, [Bing. Market place not tested]

I did notice that the available storage on the device is lesser than what was previously there.. maybe cause its a different build. I have 193 MB available.. I am sure I had 202MB total on previous versions..

Anyway,

As I always say.. I am going to stick with this ROM for a few days... LOL.. who am I kidding!

But yeah.. NRGZ.. you have really outdone all your previous work... 

Cheers!
