Default Official Findings for Complete BELL OS 4.7.0.122

Here we go! What are differences between the complete release and the loader files?

Begin!

Somehow I don't there's going to be any noticeable differences, if any at all. I'll be glad to be proven wrong though.

You are probably correct, as i just finished and booted up and noticed no initial differences. Memory is within 1 meg of before on startup. We will see though.

i know alot of people wouldnt upgrade without the complete install file so now they can also share their opinions on the upgrade

Mine did boot about 20 seconds faster though, no biggie to me really

Yeah, that's what the bulk of these findings are going to be. Those with less cajónes then us crazy's. Or Mac users. =O

As a Bell customer, I have been running this version for a week + 1 day and it has been very stable. On my Storm battery levels have improved as well as the radio strength (I'm in Edmonton). Memory leaks are not a major factor and the speed of all aspects of the phone are enhanced.

I upgraded from .113 and have used hybrid .114 v1 & 3, but on my phone this release is definitely the best.

I downloaded this from Mega Upload. Will I still need to delete vendor.xml?

I would give it more than a day to see how it runs. Maybe you used your phone a lot yesterday. Or were in a spot where you couldn't find a signal. Give it a week, see how it is, then report back.

Radio strength improved? You have my hopes up! I'll be installing this as soon as I get home...

Upgraded from .113. So far so good and it does seem a bit quicker. Memory is at 39 right now... Switching from landscape to portrait is a lot more responsive than before.

Curious anyone in here run 113/V3.5 Hybrid? How is it compared to that Hybrid? Im debating if I want to go for a straight upgrade or if I should mix it up a bit???

Thanks

Has that OS Improved a bit? I did it before when it was in beta testing so I ran into a lot of issues so I went back. Is everything working flawlessly now?
