Youtube works. Seems faster. reception is good.

Youtube works perfectly on both WiFi and EDGE.
No need to change default APN settings.
Fonts seem crispier and clearer.
Everything else works perfectly.

ok so i couldn't download this OS like the other one and when i downloaded this one the vendor file was already gone and it didn't prompt me to load the new OS... how do i get it to recognize the OS?

edit: nevermind i got it...

[tsx281]

How did you get it to show up? I don't see the vendor file or the app loader thing.....

[SilvioD]

i just double clicked the file that i downloaded and it recognized it.. i didnt have to delete anything... but it just froze up after 45 minutes of download the new OS so i have to see what's wrong with it...

[SilvioD]

ok something very crazy just happened.... my upload of the new OS stopped responding halfway through and i had to disconnect it but i think i download enough of it for the .168 to work so now i have .168 and it works fine for now... we'll see how it ends up...

Just updated which was very quick, 20 minutes! All seems well so far. Youtube works, OS seems snappy. I have to check the ringtones which was way to loud in OS .133... Will keep an eye on the battery life as well.

.168 worked perfectly for me.

Faster and better !!!!

Sigh.....still too loud. I will never understand how this always changes with OS upgrades.

[jubrand]

YouTube works fine for me.

[berrylow]

tried to update 152 os and had difficulty to load, this time with 168 all ok for now, working smoothly, no problem whatsover...

[R-W]

I did just like the directions said, and loaded the OS. Once loaded, everything seemed fine. I did a battery pull and got some weird message. After that I had maybe 10 icons left on my homescreen!!!
I ended up reloading the older OS just to get everything back to normal!
So, I'll pass, when it comes to this OS!!

[rtc11]

Just upgraded from .133 to .168. No problems at all. Everything going very well including Youtube.

The GPS picks up much faster but I can't tell about improved battery life because I am coming from .133 not .152.

[tsx281]

downloaded this 2 times and i dont see the vendor icon or the app loader icon... any ideas why?

decided to go ahead and install this upgrade.
ran in to a problem.
install went smoothly all the way til the last step.
i am currently stuck waiting on:
-> restore device data
database: phone call logs
restore progress is stuck at a 2/3 progress complete
and has not moved in 10-15 minutes at least... maybe much longer

should i unplug and start over, wait it out, cancel program from device manager... or....

any advice is appreciated. all previous upgrades i have done on previous devices have all gone smoothly. this one apparently stuck.

You probably have a corrupt phonebook. I really hope you have a previous and fairly recent backup of your phonebook.

At this point, you should unplug and retry. If it still doesn't work, then you should have a fully working device aside from a screwed up phonebook.

Go into desktop manager and go to the backup/restore options and open your recent backup file and choose to only load the phonebook portion of it.

Just got my 8900 from TMO and installed this new OS right out of the box :D. Seems to work good so far, but sometimes UMA is a bit spotty. Other than that flawless.
