I have had .224 running a couple of days.
The good news is that 3g grabbing is the best yet. Better than .221, which I think was not quire as good as .216 (that is why I went for .224 after only a week on .221).
The bad: Memory usage seems worse than .221, from reboot to now, after 2 days. I am now at less than 22 megs!.
after a battery pull, 34 megs, which seems about 5 megs less than I was getting from earlier OS's. Voice dialling will not work ("unable to allocate memory. Close other applications and try again").
I have upgraded the OS 6 - 7 times since getting the Bold in late August without a problem. For some reason, on this update, it choked near the end with data restore and froze. To continue the process, I had to do a battery pull. All programs restored, but PocketDay lost all its settings. I am wondering if the interruption in OS upgrade has left unused or unrecognized data on my Bold which is taking up memory?
The result is that I have less available memory than .167, which was, in my experience the previous worst memory usage. However, I have not heard of others having memory problems on .224, so it may be my problem on the OS upgrade.
Battery life seems avarage. I force it to do 3g only. I also have wifi on for when I am at home. With moderate use over 24 hours it is 60%.
Reboot time with this OS and .221 fairly fast. Much better than .216, which seemed longer, by far than any other OS.
