3.14.605.10 runs like butter on my phone. No show stopping problems, just two minor niggles:
- Can't get the calendar to start in Agenda. Previously, I would edit tabs, put Agenda to the far left, and from there the Calendar would always start in Agenda view. No so anymore. (Kind'ov a bummer, but can live with it.)
- Browser url entry: used to tap there and the whole url would be highlighted so I could type a new destination. Not anymore. I have to delete the contents manually before I can enter my desired site. (Easily worked around thanks to Swype's select all gesture, but I'd prefer not to have to learn a specific thing for just one app.)
I only flashed the RUU once (didn't know it was a common recommendation to flash twice) and so I think this thread is a good idea. I'll flash again (twice this time) if it turns out no one can reproduce these little annoyances.. I'm glad this thread was started.
Beyond all that, everything else is fantastic. Radios are much improved and are one of the most pleasant surprises of the upgrade. Handoffs are cleaner and there are substantial improvements with how my phone performs in this area. The increases in data throughput feel like night and day. Speed went from 10-12k down/3-5k up to 15-17k down/4-6k up. Not drastic, but the latency was usually around 150-180ms, and now that's down to 80-90 routinely. Again not drastic, but I think it's this metric combined with the first that has added up to demonstrate improved performance. Add to that the upgrades under the hood with ICS and I suspect the rest is history.
The entire phone feels more robust, Sense is more stable, and the 2D hardware acceleration implemented in ICS finally gives the Rezound iPhone-like smoothness. Overall, everything is more responsive and the graphical transitions are visually appealing now that they don't stutter anymore.
Very, very happy with the upgrade. This is the phone that should have been released in the first place.
