I would think a leak means the official won't be very far behind. I'm loving the phone, but a few minor fixes will just make the phone that much better.

Cool.

the early reviews seem to be positive.

Just installed

radio is greatly improved. Switching is almost instant now, with no "i have full service but just 5 full bars".

So far so good.

That's great to hear. Thanks for this info. This is probably my most valued fix. Should help with the battery too.

When this is pushed out OTA, and I install it, will I have to set up my screens again?

And here I was just reading up on rooting to debloat and clean up the phone.
Hmmmm....

[Littleairjordan1]

If one of you downloaded it could you tell me if it really did fix the video recording audio?

The only thing available now is via root ROM flash. We are hoping that VZW/HTC will make it an official update, "soon"! Had to say that!

Ive been running this for the last 9 hours.so far so good.

 

[shaddix]

you holdouts: just root the thing already, it makes your phone much more awesome.

I actually was curious as to when we'd get some fixes in since they typically shoot the first batch out about a month after release and here we are, nearly ready to go. Seems like most of the major complaints(GPS, radio, video/audio issues) should be fixed which is excellent news.

What is RUU?

No I figure that it's probably really close to being released OTA since the leaked version appears to be pretty stable. So I'm just going to wait.

And it would seem like all those components not working would affect battery life, so better battery performance might be a positive effect of this release, even it it's not addressed specifically with its own fix.
