crossing my fingers for amazing battery life!

[wrinklefree]

Any word on whether the GPS works? Mine is extremely slow (if it works at all) on 234. Worked fine on 216 and other versions that I've tried.

I've noticed the GPS lock-on is pretty fast. Google maps and poynt took less than 6 seconds to find me.

Any findings on how the radio reception is on this build compared other recent ones?

heres my take on testing out the OS.

-Improved Radio Reception
-Improved WIFI
-Improved Browser (3G/Faster page rendering)
-Improved Batterly life
-Fixed Volume Bug
-Fixed Wallpaper bug on reboot
-Improved App Memory (.234 = 43-44mb, .237 = 46-48mb)
-Improved/Fixed Response time (compared to .234, there would be a lag where i would open a message even though my memory is around 35-39mb. seems to be fixed on this build.)

OVERALL SOLID!i think im sticking with this one for a awhile.

Downloading as we speak...I guess its time to upgrade from .190

[janx]

maybe this is a good OS to put on. lots of good things coming out of regular and new users. this may be the best one out yet. downloading right now and going to give it a go.

[mcbarrett]

Downloading now, Hopefully better than .234, I was never was really convinced about that build. the reception and 3G switching didn't seem as good as previous builds.

.237 seems very stable so far, browsing via wifi is FAST!!

[fayt]

gps works great and mobile youtube seems to load a whole lot faster or wifi at least

[dalstar925]

im new to this whole thing...i came from an iphone where all the updating was super straightfoward and easy...my bold is running .167?? but it seems to work ok...what are the major improvements since then? battery life, wifi, signal strength? like i said im a first timer, so any help would be really appreciated and you all seem like you're great with these things!

[BBGirl88]

pretty much everything is better from the .167 operating system, even if you just move up to .190 its way better! .221 is the newest official OS if you want to be sure its good.

Practice makes perfect, after a few upgrades you will be great at it too

[bgwavrder]

Wow, nothing but positives, time for me to move from .216

[havanahjoe]

Damn and just as my Bold rebooted as part of the 221 upgrade I see this. Haha. Oh well. I'll upgrade again once the process is done seeing as it has so many great reviews.

[jayrezny]

my memory jumped up to 51

Is the font issue fixed for custom themes?

The font issue still exists.

But... if you happen to make your own themes, I've found using the "verdana" font in Theme Builder displays properly with the newer beta OS versions.

How do you delete the visual voicemail stuff so my voicemail icon will show up again?

[ahuerta]

Sure...! We'll do it.. Just wait..! We have to test it..!

Before installing, use notepad to edit the visual voice mail alx file. Change "required" from true to false. Then when selecting which applications to install, visual voice mail can be un-checked.

Related to Speed, signal, audio bugs.. and more.. try it .. it's easy..!

[jikdoc]

confirming font issue still exists, otherwise excellent build.

-more free mem, i'm up to 50mb on reboot
-gps lock is much better, i can get it indoors by a window, whereas before it was impossible
-media player bug gone
can't say much about battery life

Where is that file located?

I am a very heavy user of LIVE Search. Does it work with this version. If it does...I am sold.
