    Hi and thanks for any response,

    I am still on the official .75 release from Verizon. I know that there are many, many beta firmwares. Are there any that improve from .75 in any of the following ways but still maintain a stable OS?

    1. FASTER Accelerometer
    2. FASTER Internet Browser
    3. Anything else

    I have yet to download a beta release for fear of having a really unstable OS. So, CrackBerry Users, I ask you for your help on this please.

    THANKS!
    Paul

    Okay,

    I used the search engine. There are so many betas that I don't know one from another. Yes, though, I did infact search.

    Thanks for your response!

    I searched on both of these, and people seem to have problems. Is there any that you consider pretty stable? Sorry to be bothering, but I also see things like hybrids. I think, though, that I would rather go with the full OS and not a hybrid, if possible.

    THANKS!

    I have tried every leak including the hybrids. 113 is the only one I have stayed with. All the others forced me back to 75 due to bugs. Give 113 a try.

    dont go with hybrids, too confusing especially if your new to OS upgrades. i am running .109 and have no problems at all, by far the most stable of them all, very rarely need to do a batt pull

    .113 is stable. I haven't had a single problem and my phone is very fast.

    pmas,

    Thanks for your response. One issue I've been reading on is MMS (receiving pictures, videos, etc. over texting), does this work for you?

    Are there any major bugs I should know about?

    Once I get this feedback, this is the one I am going to go with I think.

    THANKS!

    JupiterJazz,

    Thanks for your response. I am downloading it now. I use my phone a lot, for business reasons, and I rely on it, which is why I am so skeptical to download something that's not an official release.

    After some more researching, I see that MMS is infact working. Most people seem to agree with you, that .113 is very stable.

    I see this issue of color banding, what exactly is that?

    Thanks!
    Paul

    You will like .113 I'm sure

    Color banding distorts color presentation on the screen causing changes between shades of the same color. You can see it if you lock your phone and look at the lock screen. Its no big deal though. You probably won't even notice it

    THANKS for all of your help guys!

    Try a few tricks posted in this forum, like disabling bluetooth, disabling GPS, and lowering screen brightness to like 40. Those three right there make a huge difference for me.

    I'm currently downgrading from .109 back to .75. .109 worked great for about a week or two, but then became very slow and the little black clock kept appearing. I'm scared to try .113 just incase this happens to me again.
