I have been running .247 for the past few days. Overall, I really like this build. Browsing is faster, memory leak is less and battery life has improve by a slight bit.
However, I have been having problems with my GPS not locking on either in BB Maps or Google Maps while I'm indoor. I have not had a problem with the GPS in the last 5 OS I have installed.
This morning "playing" with it, I made an interesting discovery. The GPS would not lock on with 3G but once I switch over to Edge it locks on right away.
I wonder if those of you who are having problem with .247 GPS could do this little experiment to see if it does the same on your phone too.
i think 3g is less reliable in consistency then EDGE in general...i have more dropped calls with 3g then i did with my 8700 running EDGE. i doubt its my OS cuz ive had 3 diferent OS and still get dropped calls in certain places with 3G which i didnt get with my 8700. Its still new..im sure it will get better with time.
