So based on this thread I'm not really seeing any new features being added. Just the usual "it's much snappier then before!" comments you see with every update

Anyone think that OS7 is going to see any more major updates like we got with 7.1? - 08-03-2012, 12:34 PM #55
This is probably the best build yet. The radio seems improved for me as I now get signal in places I never used to. Memory drain seems minimal and battery drain seems to be the best that it has ever been. I would definitely recommend this build.

That's the reason why I won't update my device until the next OS will have 100+ very good reviews!

Other evidence about the goodness of this firmware: i'm running a lot in this period and i'm using Endomondo FREE to track my paths. It locks the GPS signal in 10 seconds and, with Endomondo and music player working, i've drained only 8% of battery in 45 mins!

I installed this a couple of days ago. Went without a hitch. My observations so far, on this latest build?
Smooth.. although that's usually the case for a fresh install. Snappy as well. The one gripe I had since 3 builds ago.. is no longer a gripe!! The damn spacebar that kept on sticking, no longer occurs! Finally it's fixed.
Not sure if this is an omen of things to come.. but after 4-5 battery pulls in the last 50 hours, my battery drain has not been as long as the previous build. In fact, my last charge doesn't look like it'll even last 16-18 hours!
So far, that's my only gripe. Crossing my fingers the battery drain issue works itself out.

my gripes include the battery drain and as stated before and for about 4 builds now is, when using the native music player and headphones, the music after pausing still sounds choppy at best

.342 Build that works on ATT Torch 9860?
All,
Can someone post a link to a 7.1.342 build that works on an ATt Torch 9860? I tried installing the Telenor Norway build, but the screen would lock and not rotate when you rotate the phone. Not sure why there are so many problems. Any help is appreciated!
Thanks! - 08-10-2012, 04:17 AM #64
It's been at least 6 days since I, (ahem) upgraded, to this build. All I can say is that the battery drain is in' (forgive me - venting frustrations)!
Every night I've had to charge the phone because the battery charge would barely make it to 10pm. I'd turn my phone on at or around 6:30am every day. I've done numerous battery pulls, probably more than 10 times now.
Today, though, has been the worse. I've charged it overnight, and 100% charge when I turn the phone on at 6 this morning. At 4:30 this afternoon, all I had left was 10% charge! That's total bull!! This build just sucks big time!!!
Granted, my other gripe has been solved. The spacebar on the Suretype and qwerty keyboard no longer sticks. But it took the writers of these builds three(3) tries to get that right?? And now there's a battery issue when before there wasn't any???
Geez.. Louise?! Trying to decide whether to go back to the previous build and hope the sticking spacebar doesn't re-surface or do a complete wipe and re-install this build. It's like choosing between two evils here.

I'm on this build and my battery performance has been stellar. Of course I don't use social feeds, or facebook, and have all my apps except the weather network set to manually refresh. I take my phone off my charger at 6:45am, and when I go to bed I have between 30% and 40% left. I also have battery saving mode turned on all the time.
Good luck with whatever you choose. - 08-15-2012, 10:03 PM #68
Downloaded and installed the new version, so far it is working fine except for the built-in Map. It takes few minutes to locate you. This is so frustrating.
I just have a quick question. Since finding my current location is taking a while, would it affect other location-based applications? - 08-20-2012, 08:10 AM #70
I just came back from New York this past weekend and had the /voice issue...I could hear them but they couldn't hear me??!! as soon as I landed back in South Florida everythings fine...this was on my wife's 9860 as well??
