More people should recognize this distinction. Whenever a leak makes the scene, invariably, posts such as
follow.
These are not offiicial OS updates, as the escalating numbers suggest. These are LEAKS.
Leaks are pretty much the OS in various states of undress. Many of them are stepping stones that were never intended for a wide release. For all we know, something was interfering with something else, so they dropped the color palette to temporarily resolve the adverse interaction so they could error test the "something else" properly, fully intending to fix things down the line, all prior to the next official release.
To reiterate what Civic said, the reduced color palette smacks of a workaround. Who cares if its in the leak, but if this workaround actually makes its way into the next official release, there will and should be many unhappy campers.
In other words, if you're unhappy with the performance of a leak as many people on CB seem to be, you have no cause for it, as it wasn't meant for your eyes in the first place, but if you're unhappy with the performance of the official OS update, then you have every right to be. We're all so unused to getting official updates (spoiled with leaks) we lose sight of this

Oh, and i do wonder about the homeless kids in Africa sometimes...wonder if they would know not to post in threads that didn't interest them. Maybe they at least know to "Stay on Topic".
My recommendation for you would be to report this thread if you feel it has been improperly placed. When you Reply to threads that "you" feel are spam, all your doing is helping it along and keeping "spam alive". That is if you feel this thread is "spam".

Or is that just a number that could mean any number?
I mean they went .90, then .99, now .103. Unless your a math whiz and know the formula, which you very well may be for all I know.
As for math, enough to get me by honestly.02-14-09 08:14 PM - OMG you gotta be kidding. Your upset because you see a box for a second?
Arn't there more serious things to worry about? And what do you mean "there is no transition at all between landscape and portrait, it just moves." That is the transition.
Hope you don't lose sleep over that "sec" at night.
I mean I prefer blackberry to the iphone and it is sad when the storm has a more powerful cpu yet its UI looks like a standard regular touchscreen and functions pretty much like one as well when the iphone was released and still now IT LOOKS AND WORKS LIKE A MINI COMPUTER, Every transition and movement is like I am using a Mac home computer on a smaller screen. The storm has so much promise but RIM seems to have just tossed together a slightly modified version of the os and ui of all there other phones, They did not think outside the box in any ways for this phone at all and it is sad. And also, like i said, with all the problems plagueing this phone I think it would have been a good idea to not release the storm for about 6to8 months after the actual launch back in november. Maybe they could have made a more quality item. Do you see how many people are flocking to the theme section because of how crappy and unoriginal the entire UI on the storm is? and NO it is NOT a transtiion when it switches from landscape to portrait, it is like watching a window on XP get closed it just closes, whereas on vista when you close a window it fades out. As much as I am against mac, Look at every movement and function on the iphone, it is all very fluid. NOTHING ON THIS PHONE IS FLUID.Last edited by dankblaze; 02-15-09 at 12:28 PM.

All leaked builds that have made it to the publics hands have seemingly had this issue, which is another unacceptable concept. They should by now have stability over the 4.7 builds. With all the random reboots and app errors (even apps that are native to the OS like the camera app) its becoming a bit ridiculous.
Is it me, or does it always seem they fix one issue to watch two more issues arise (issues that were non-apparent in previous leaked OS's)???
Whatever they decide to go with in terms of the next official OS, it better not sacrifice overall display quality. If it does end up like that, you can bet that what CIVIC said will probably happen (class action) along with a TON of returns to Verizon if not RIM (after the 30 days).Last edited by REC7IFY; 02-15-09 at 09:03 PM.
