^^^ thanks for update.
after playing around with this new and exciting ROM, i've noticed a couple things i feel are worth pointing out. i realize it's still in beta, btw.
battery life is affected, not in a good way. not sure as to why, but it drains much quicker. for instance, my phone was fully charged when leaving for work this morning: GPS, wifi, bluetooth were all off and no running programs, but still managed to drain down to 92% within the twenty minute drive. browsing around in the twitter app, i was watching the battery drain at an alarming rate of about 1% every two minutes.
secondly, since getting this Thunderbolt i have been running network speed tests almost religiously. i am a network engineer and had a large involvement in building the backbone for VzW's 4G network, so i take much pride in the speed test results. i'm not sure if this rom changed anything with the antenna, but my reception is down significantly.
yes, i know that the antenna bar icon is not a direct representation of the actual signal strength, but it is worth mentioning that my speeds are now averaging at about 6-7 Mbs down and 5 Mbs up. great speeds, no doubt, but when compared to the average i was getting earlier (16-22 Mbs down and 20 Mbs up) it's not good.
