After the .76 update my Storm is a "Hurricane!"

**boardinshorty81** · 12-07-2008, 11:42 PM

So is updating straight from the desktop program not as good as if I were to wipe it? So you use this program to wipe it, and you need to do what that other guy did with the folder or was that just an issue he had?

+1 I want to compare my speed to his. I guess if he puts up a video I can see if mine is maybe close to a hurricane. Right now I am thinking mine is somewhere along the lines of monsoon

Just put it on, not much different than 75 other than its consistent and has not froze, i noticed that it manages memory better. I have the memory up app and it doesnt have near as much memory to clear up as it did with .75

**DENVERXXX** · 12-08-2008, 03:24 AM

I Personally Dont Feel There Is A Difference Between 75 And 76. Maybe My Device Was Just A Stable Out Of Box Model But It Just Doesent Seem Any Different From Leaked Or Official 75. Just My Observation Though. I Did However Notice My Option Icons In Vvm Were Different. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm Who Knew

.78 is good, don't get me wrong, but there's not THAT much improvement over .65

**Clover86** · 12-08-2008, 05:06 AM

Can everyone say PLACEBO. Don't get me wrong, I have .76, but it is not what everyone is making it out to be. Yes it is better that .65, but the differences between .75 and .76 are so small that you can't really tell the difference. It is all in your head.

..... I'm just wondering if its worth it to do a wipe every update.?

I completely wiped my os with jlcmder and installed .76. It definitely seems faster/smoother all the way around.

Key words..."definitely seems faster/smoother".

I'm not trying to bust you out at all, but the use of the word "definite", modified by "seems" is just funny.

.75 versus .76 in a one-on-one test doesn't yield much...trust me.

And no, sorry, I'm not posting a vid. By the time I do, an official VZW .78 version will be out.

Is there a way to get your contacts back after the install?

**Evil Sports** · 12-08-2008, 01:22 PM

did you back up your device before you did this process?

**isdjmark** · 12-08-2008, 01:23 PM

so back up the divice first

then you wipe your device...

install the os again...

then do a back up to get ur cotnacts back?

**Evil Sports** · 12-08-2008, 01:26 PM

Ya DM has an option to put backed up contacts on your phone.

**s1kmad3** · 12-08-2008, 01:36 PM

Does the full wipe erase the SD card?

**jtdiddy** · 12-08-2008, 01:57 PM

yea, based on all the posts re .75 (official and leakeda) vs. .76, it looks like the overall consesus is that there is a slight improvement but it is negligible.

I'm with the old school thinking, if it 'aint broke... so i'm just gonna leave the leaked .75 since it is running fine and wait until the next upgrade for the 9530.

**sphingers** · 12-08-2008, 02:15 PM

how do you get your contacts and calender back on? How about applications that you paid for that you want on there also? Thanks

**classof1987** · 12-08-2008, 02:21 PM

Hey folks. Here's what i just did. I did a wipe using the JL_CMDR and then installed the bell's 4.76. I played around with it as a new virgin machine and I have to say it was slower in making the transitions from portrait to landscape and everything else seemed to be no different than the official .75 that i had been using for 2 days now.

I ended up wiping it clean again and downgrading to VZW offical .75. Back to the way it was.

Has anyone else gone thru this and had the same???? And yes i pulled the battery.. Maybe i missed something... Suggestions or can someone post a video with both the .76 and the official .75 for a comparision?

thanks

Thats about accurate. Although given I only had .75 for maybe 4 days max lol. The only difference I noticed is that .76's accelometer is slightly quicker and it opens apps and mail quicker.

One thing I did notice is that the issue with my keyboard randomly disappearing still existed in .75, I've yet to see this issue in .76 so I'm hoping its gone for good.

That one bug drove me nuts. Is anyone with .76 having the issue of the randomly disappearing keyboard?
