Question -- I have a rooted phone, still running stock OS with some bloatware removed...

is this "safe" to install?

I don't think you'll be able to install it if your rooted, and if you can it'll remove your root.

From the last time this update was supposed to be released, I believe the consensus was that while it was "safe" to install it, you would probably loose Root and the old method(s) may not work to re-root them.

I know I just got my TB running how I want it with BAMF and I won't voluntarily download this until guys over in the Hack forum say it's ok.

For me...that is not entirely "Safe"....but thanks for the response. Rejected update.

I'll wait. Only issue I currently have is no sound on video, which i RARELY use anyway.

this appears to be the delayed OTA from May 3rd, the baseband # and build # match up

Here's to hoping for the best, and no problems as I'm downloading as well

Awesome... I wonder what the embargo was for, if the version numbers match up and they didn't change anything. Weird.

Thanks!

Same, numbers match. It's the delayed update.

Got a GPS lock in 12 seconds standing next to a window on the 37th floor where in the past it never locked.

Didn't clear A-GPS data before the test, so on this one data point, it seems to have been improved.

The 3G/1x-RTT and no-data-on-sleep issues I'd been having, I won't be able to tell without some extended use, though.

**kalopsia** · 05-12-2011, 10:32 AM

Only done minimal testing so far, but it sounds like camcorder is recording audio much better!

If anything I'm hoping that the people who had the leaked version and were rooted were heard when they were complaining of a bug within the build that caused the phone to reboot randomly... hopefully if this bug was there it is the reason they delayed and fixed it
