What's new in OS 4.7.1.61?
- Well, there are a couple threads on this, but I'll play ball...
Not much! Some claim to have improved reboot times and that the OS feels a little "snappier" overall.
The only real difference as far as I'm concerned versus .40 is if you had the common issues with Bluetooth. With .40 while using Bluetooth, the other person couldn't hear what I said. Plus the Voice Activated Dialing chirps were super-loud in my ear.
With .53, .57, or .61, Bluetooth now works. With .61, there seems to be a slight improvement again in Bluetooth sound quality over .53 or .57.
Many Sprint and Bell users had impaired GPS functionality with .40 that was fixed by .57 or .61.11-25-09 08:39 PMLike 0 -
- Seems quicker but that is relative. I'm on VZW and performed the OTA upgrade in slightly less than 2 hours including the download.
Biggest difference I noticed. 104M free memory before update and about 84M free after.
My battery life yesterday was the same as any other day. About 5 hours of actual phone, internet and email useage.

I don't notice anything new as far as functionality goes; this OS version seems to me just one for bug fixes and slight tweaks. My Tour, thankfully, was built/runs beautifully, and it seems to be a decent barometer for measuring the differences in .61:
- slightly quicker reboot
- outbound voice quality improved
- smoother OS operation
Other than that, any differences are negligible.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
