whats better than 4.7.0.132?
- i recently did an OS upgrade to .132........................ phone seems quite more responsive and quicker with a tad more mem IMO. I want to upgrade to a higher OS, like lydricals .141, but it is rather confusing to me to see all those links with exe. jar. files. when i upgraded to .132 i just clicked a link (there was only 1) and downloaded it. plugged my phone in and it upgraded. im sorry im not that knowledgable on all the file extensios and what they mean. but nonetheless.
is it worth it for me to upgrade from my current OS to a new one? what are some of the pros and cons everyone has?

- I install all the new OS's that come out... Sometimes I find myself downgrading because of certain bugs and glitches though.
Today I downgraded to .132 from .141 because of the radio instability I was experiencing (Data connection was spotty despite constant 5 bar EVDO signal showing). Also the locking issue with .141 and the QuickLaunch flicker drove me nuts... I did load the 7 files from .132 to fix it but the radio instability ultimately drove me to downgrade back to .132
It's all up to you... I've been reluctant to change OS's recently because I run so many customized 3rd party Apps it takes me 18 hours just to set them all back up! Just remember, each phone will act slightly different even if it has the same OS, depends on 3rd party apps and how the OS settles.

I ran into some glitches with .141 that were not OS specific but rather were problems with some apps. I use PodTrapper a lot and with .141 a lot of my downloads were showing up as incomplete or corrupted and I even had to do battery pulls to get out of Vodcasts that locked up my Storm. Went back to .132 and have not had the problem again. Don't know if this is OS or app problem. But, I even ported all my PodTrapper downloads to watch in BB Media Player thinking maybe the PodTrapper player was at fault. Nope ... it was only in .141 that I had the problem.
OS .132 for me, I love it .... I have not tried any hybrids ... straight .141 update just simply did nothing for my memory, battery life or anything else, just caused media problems.05-10-09 09:48 PMLike 0 - Funny cause I have been running .141 since it got leaked with no issues. Yes I am aware of the lock bug, but since I don't use the factory lock it is irrelevant to me. Storm slider works great in conjunction with my sleeper case.05-10-09 09:49 PMLike 0
