how's it compare to FD24? still buggy, or somewhat better?

Edit:
Nevermind, just flashed it. Still the fast scrolling issue. Otherwise, so far, so good.

Ok, I just got done flashing FD26... I had to, just curiosity; you know how it killed the cat! Anyways; I have had problems getting decent data coverage in my house... I'm between five towers and seems like they fight over me a lot where I live. Two blocks in any direction; I'm rollin` heavy on the reception and no data issues. Yeah; I know sprints data speeds aren't the best. But I'm not complaining as it does what I need.

Now, my back yard was made for drinking bee... coca~cola. Fire pit is a bonus; but what fun is it if I can't even load a few FML's or some funny pictures? Well, I all but gave up until I tossed FD26 on it. I'm not sure if it's the rom itself; or the modem firmware; but I'm averaging 70%'s in reception now; without much for loss and can even load the forums in dolphin outside without a hitch. So far so good!

One question though, since I'm on FD26 now; the stock leak; when available, I can still roll the official OTA update on here and keep my root and not have a problem right?

No. The official update will likely be an OTA that will look for the current official build version (EL29). So your update would download but fail to install.

It is extremely likely that sfhub will have the final build version available as an Odin One-Click, probably before the OTA is officially released. Your best best will be to manually flash the update using the exact method you used to flash FD26.

Right from sfhub on XDA


Notification Sound Bug - Fixed
The issue with the notification sounds going away on their own has been fixed since FD24

Notification Light Bug - Present
The notification light does not blink while charging, thanks someguyatx:

Scrolling - Improved
Before anyone asks, I tested the scrolling behavior.

It appears improved to me, but it may still be beyond the tolerance levels for some people. It is more sensitive than GB, but less than the previous release.

Again, everyone has different tolerances for how fast auto scroll is triggered, so your mileage may vary.

Personally I didn't really have any problem with the behavior in the previous releases, I just adjusted my behavior to match how it behaved, but I did recognize that it behaved differently from GB.

Confirmation from tmeader, thanks:

Wifi - Present
Various reports of wifi dropping out at work (more complex wifi configuration) but working fine at home (simple wifi configuration) There was a theory put forth this might be related to DHCP timeout settings. Not a lot of detail other than that.

Bluetooth - Fixed
Reports are that bluetooth pairing is improved also, thanks mmark27

Audio/Video Playback - Fixed
Reports are .wmv playback is working again, thanks kingdazy

Reports are .flac playback works, thanks kobridge
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...4#post25424954
Villain123 was having problems with consistent .mkv playback, which appear to be resolved in FD26

Radio - Varies
This will be highly dependent on the signals in your area and how Sprint's towers are performing. Probably 1/3 will say it improved, 1/3 say it is the same, and 1/3 will feel it is worse. I'm joking but being serious at the same time. I would suggest you try the modem for a full day at least, testing performance at various points in the day and with different speedtest servers, before coming to a conclusion. If you can try it on weekends as well as weekdays, that would be best.

Having said that, user Guocamole reports 1.66M/.58M with this modem, thanks for the report

GPS - Varies
Just like Radio performance, GPS performance can be variable as there are sometimes software and hardware antennae issues at play and they aren't mutally exclusive.

Having said that, mmark27 reports first build he was able to get GPS lock indoors.

##DEBUG# tool NOT using MSL - Present
The debug tool triggered when you type ##DEBUG# in the dialer is asking for some lock code which isn't your MSL. It isn't known what code this is so effectively ##DEBUG# is unusable, which makes debugging signal problems difficult. Entering MSL results in invalid lock code message.

MTP / USB Mass Storage - Present
There is still no UI to switch from MTP mode to USB Mass Storage Mode. I think this is a mistake because many PCs do not support MTP or don't support it well. USB Mass Storage Mode allows your phone to show up as a USB drive when you plug it into a computer and is much better supported. Workaround and issue is covered in more detail here:
