Default should i run OS 6 on my 9650 ??
OS 5 basically sucks big time for me so I'm wondering if OS 6 is going to cut it. So what is the best possible version of OS 6 in the crack team opinion??
I have no worries about battery life since I got an extra one so the only thing I worry about is the camera line and the overall snappyness of the phone

I found 6.0.0.587 to be the best. I sold my 9650 just before 706 was released, but many here seem to like it. Avoid 524 & 600.


+1 OS5 does suck, 2009 is long gone

For my tastes 706 is just a shade better then 587.

I've been on .431 for several months. Only problem is an occasional reset when trying to access the camera. Guess it's time to upgrade.

706 is the best OS6 build for the 9650 hands down and before that was .587

I've tried all the OS6's and the latest (6.0.0.706) is the best. Good luck in your decision

I'm running 706, and it's the best. As others have said, it's the cleanest, snappiest so far.

I have NEVER done an OS install. Is there a walk through to put the 706 on my vzw 9650?

Thank you in advance for any help.

Hi, i have a question, i am having a he|| of a time. I download the sprint version of
9650_512AMEA_PBr6.0.0_rel3049_PL4.4.0.560_A6.0.0.7 06_Sprint_L.P.exe
And delete the Vendor.xml file like it says and then proceed with using the app loader exe like in the directions. And when the screen comes up i do not get the OS option like it shows in the directions. all it lists are the apps on my phone.

Is there another step or something i am missing?

I am sorry for all the questions.
