I loaded the 314 firmware yesterday, and it is much better than the last version especially since my Voice Dialing is now working again.

One thing I noticed between this and the last version was that the OTA synchronisation for calendar was set to off by default and I had to go in and specifically turn this on...dont know if it was related to the firmware version though.

Cheers,

Nat

I tried this OS yesterday. Browser was slow. Apps were slow. I did 4 battery pulls without any improvement. So I went back to .238 which has been almost perfect for me.

- Phone is really slow
- My battery was drained in 5 hours even though I wasn't using it (it was fully charged this morning when I unplugged it)
- Random rebooting
- Random memory messages (asking me to delete apps that are taking up memory even though there is more than enough)

...all that aside though, I actually like it

Hi,
OS 5.0+ just went live for the 9530 so we should see new versions for the rest during this week sometime.

Ive had no issues with this version, except media home doesnt work, but I beleive that to be a theme issue as the default theme has a Media Folder which works just fine, the media folder is not prescent in the theme I was using.

Once I deleted the BBThumbs out of all picture/video etc folders the pic thumbs a lot quicker. Apparently the new version 5 does something different and if you leave the old BBThumbs files there you can have some reboot and stability issues.

Cheers

Yeah I didn't like it either, everything was very slow, battery always drained, and it was overheating.

I'm going back to v4 so I can at least use viigo.
