Are there any 9850 builds that have the updated LED customization built in? I've got it on my 9900...I thought for sure this .755 build would have it since it's a later version.

[middbrew]

No, none has it and this one doesn't either. It's too bad as that's pretty cool.

Bummer...oh well thanks. I guess that means I don't have to update my wife's phone this weekend

How is that custom LED on your 9900? Is it just built into the profiles where the original LED setting was? what are you able to customize?

Strange how that feature isn't on this version... I guess that's just how Verizon is.. Always got to be stubborn!...

[middbrew]

It is surprising the custom LED isn't included in this built. But it is RIM that isn't putting it in there, Verizon is just putting out what they are given.

What they are given is still cold . Memory leak is stil prolific, 1-2 megs an hour, and music pause bug still here. Like the themes that were promised and never came, and so many other broken RIMM promises, this device too will never function bug free.

I'm not getting the memory leak like you are. Do you have some 3rd party apps that are known to cause a memory drain?

[jhimmel]

Can someone check and see if you can edit word substitution entries with this build?

[middbrew]

Yes, you can edit the current entries and add new ones.

[jhimmel]

Yes, you can edit the current entries and add new ones.

Thanks for the reply!

[middbrew]

You're welcome.

The picture quality on this O.S. Suck!

[middbrew]

Hmm, I was under the impression that picture quality had to do with the hardware not software. The software just gives you functionality options such as lighting, zoom, etc.... Those having changed.

[Maxey05]

The software might have a little influence on what the picture quality is, but I think it has to do more with the hardware.
The picture quality to me seems the same in this OS.

[middbrew]

I'm not seeing any difference either. Speaking of the camera, the one thing I was hoping would be including is the shutter sound being able to be silenced.

[Roweazie]

Yea,admit its user's fault. Lol, it was on different setting.

You're too funny man! We have all been there so don't sweat it.

I cannot over emphasize how obnoxious it was with my update to this one from my previous one 7.1.0.580.
Everything "worked", but:
1. I was forced to reboot way too many times and each time was required to re-register one or more of my installed apps every cycle.
2. The calendar switched its "Default calendar for new events" from my personal email to Facebook without asking my permission! This, despite the fact that I do NOT have a Facebook account.
I now have events whose ownership I cannot change to the only account I have ever used, intended, wanted!
Who checks these self-serving details with new releases?
Why do we allow the profit driven businesses to manipulate us and accept when our chosen suppliers prostitute themselves to them?

Sure not another case of OE?
