In beta, but they perform flawlessly good Beta is just name, so that you can easily state which is which, Alpha's too

dont you roll your eyes at me

which one is the best one, in terms of everything

[ifraser]

BL Team Zocs & Sator, would you recommend to test RC7A1 on 9860 with base and sfi .714. Right now, I am using alone .714 and seems, performing much better and smoother.

I would tend to agree with sticking to the full OS until a new sfi appears,

714 is a great radio but we are very quickly developing this OS beyond its capabilities.
Look out for the new ATT v2 for 694 appearing today also.

And as for the OS names, we have stuck with the Alpha/Beta layout as new radio files appear, the Beta`s tend to be the more developed due to the radios appearing.

The other thread also has a special edition for ATT users, which will work on any network also.

Hi I realised my shutup camera native camera mute app is not working. I'm on rc7a. Anyone experienced the same problem?

[ifraser]

I use Silent Foto and it works no problems on RC7A1

sorry I cant comment on the one you are using.

There is no "the best one" in terms of everything lol. You have to try it yourself then only you can tell. I recommend you the RC5B and AT&T Special Edition!

Try uninstall and re-install it maybe?

thanks ifraser for your suggestion. I agree with you that .714 is excellent build. I could get some time even battery temp 15 degree with EDGE while room temp was around 24 degree. Battery drain also has been 2-4%.
I am not satisfied with .694. I tried twice but had to come back to .714. Battery heatup is the main reason and signal strength is also not good as of .714.

[ifraser]

This is definitely as network dependent thing with th radio files as 694 is cool on mine and the signal lock of better than 714 was,

However the speed and fluid movement of 714 was nice as well.

Another question from BL expert team, generally smaller sfi file OS use to be more stable and signal locking better. We have seen in case of .523 OS there was smaller (66mb) and larger (72mb) sfi files and we all had prefered smaller one. I have noticed leaked 714 has sfi file approx 71mb. does the same situation apply here also. Now, official OS has been out for .714, does it has smaller sfi?

The official .714 for the 9900 has a 67MB sfi, not very sure about the leaked one though

[zocster]

The OS generally governs by the code

Anything with a j it is a larger one.

Yea guess it is taking a bit longer to settle in than normal. Battery is all over the place. Charged this morning, went from 100%-80% in an hour on 2-3 texts & 2-3 emails . Just now I updated an app and it asked to restart so I did it, now battery is back at 95%....guessing its still settling

i am also experiencing strange things like this. phone on charger, showing up as 100% battery. took it off and on BBDA it only ever got to 80%

on another occasion it was at 100% off charger, suddenly dropped to 5% and sat at 5% with 0 ADR for 10 hours. a reboot fixed this...

seems to me some strange battery things going on here...

[eds817]

So it's been a few days now and here's where I'm at.

ADR = 3.4%/hr

I've been listening to iHeart radio and MLB@Bat while on battery. This along with regular phone, SMS and email usage.

I find the handoff to/from cell and WiFi is much better. Not having to pull battery.

I still have some apps that cause an Uncaught Exception error.

7digital Music Store v1.5.37 9/8/2009
Call Blocker Professional v5.25 9/10/2009
GasBuddy v2.6.3 5/10/2011
QuickLaunch v4.2 3/12/2009
Volume Scheduler v4.6.2 6/10/2011

[ifraser]

Thats not an issue we have found much before, It sounds as if you may have a rogue app causing the issues or the OS has not installed quite right,

I would recommend possibly a full wipe and reload just to make sure.

With you uncaught exceptions it could be the apps are looking for some file that we shrink out, it is not the fact you are running a hybrid.

You could overwrite a full Base OS then dont shrink too much out.

Then the apps should have the full lot of files to run.

I use this app frequently and have no errors upon boot up or during use with RC7A1 but I always do a full wipe and reload everything one by one.

That is something i did too. Everytime i Load a new OS, i will install my Apps ONE by ONE. It is absolutely better without any corrupted file nor errors hassle free for me and really worth it later on

Awesome ! i am waiting eagarly till it releases for lesser mortals like me
Just a question though, is it cooler this time ?

Patient is a virtue i bet iFraser will release it once Zocs and the team confirmed that the v2 is qualified and so cant say much, but the temperature is definetely lower than .714 as for me

694 at&t V2 is smoother and the temp a lil bit lower than V1, it's typical of "classic Hybrid"...

Indeed it is. Thats the way i like it. V1 gives me good battery life and the temperature is pretty good too. V2 clearly is better than V1 so, be patient fellow BL consumers!
