Another new GB leak

[soccerfon711]

If I remember correctly, HTC said that they couldn't put Sense 3 on single-core phones. Gotta root if you want that shiz.

I can't find the article, but HTC said they would put elements of sense 3.0 on the Thunderbolt because there are certain things it can handle (definitely the lockscreen). I hope that they own up to that.

Okay let us know

Downloading it now... what do I do with the .exe file once I've downloaded it? The previous leak downloaded as a ZIP file.

The zip version is up now on XDA The .exe version includes a utility that runs on a PC to update the phone.

Just rebooted and connected to WiFi... Google account is downloading my data in the background. There's nothing that's obviously different in comparison to the previous leak.

The vast majority of apps I had installed before the update aren't listed in the "My apps" section of the Market. I'll have to restore them with MyBackup Pro (the best app I've purchased since becoming an Android user).

It'll take some time to evaluate the quality of the radios. A commentor on the thread at xda-developers has the impression that his phone's 4G connection is less stable than it was before the update.

has htc added in any sense 3.0 elements into this release. trying to decide if i should load this on my friends thunderbolt. but he is looking for some major ui changes. otherwise i might just root his phone and flash the bamf sense 3.0 rom

I recommend doing just that, but I think right now Gingeritis is better. The new Uber BAMF was not working so good for me.

I'm interested to hear if you have the same results as the XDA commentor. (I saw his post). Did your market update to the new version?

I think so, if it's the same "new" version I was using in Froyo (at least it superficially looks the same). It's version 2.3.6.

I should also note that I saw some 3G/4G switching on my phone prior to this update (with the previous GB update installed) this afternoon. I'm not sure whether it was radio-related or network-related, though. There are too many variables.

 

[djrakowski]

Just noticed an "internet call settings" section under the "Call" settings menu. Is this new, or have I just failed to notice it up 'til now?

So, no worse with this build like the XDA post suggested?

I don't see that setting on my stock TB. Haven't taken the plunge yet.

I had a TB in hand yesterday. I think it is actually a decent handset. Glad the updates and tweaks are coming in nice!

Now I'm intrigued... do you suppose this has anything to do with Skype video chat?!?

Correct... doesn't seem any better or worse so far. I'm locked in o 4G without a single bit of fluctuation in signal strength. So far, so good.

That's possible, and sounds logical...I honestly do not know

 

[z71kris]

It's on the previous leak as well I just checked.

 

[Maddog241]

Just read over on XDA someone said this leak will be the OFFICIAL one that will be pushed OTA by Verizon around the end of this month. I have no idea how credible that is.

if that is true has htc added in any sense 3.0 elments into this build like the new lock screen and other touches. i would find this hard to belive to be the final build without any sense 3.0 elemnts unless htc wants a major revolt on there hands. because if they give it to the chacha the thunderbolt better have it

I do not know the answer to your question as I have not loaded this yet. I merely reported something I read, and even though HTC might have said that, you know how Big Red is about having software done their way...

true very true. but big red might have to get over that if they get the nexus prime.
