Oh, that thing worked wonders for my phone! I was soo frustrated with the constant lockups and errors that I was almost ready to chuck my phone out of the window. But I decided to backup my data and did a master reset!!
Errors Fixed:
-Super fast response for the whole phone
-Internet browser, built-in and Opera work awesome!!
-low memory usage
-installed the gmail app
-wifi works without much hiccups!
I finally feel this is the phone I put down my money for! my dad's money i mean ... 
I'm hoping R9A001 will iron out all the outstanding issues with this phone ... can't wait!!
Cheers,
Sam |

for removing bugs, i think its better to format internal drive via service menu... |

With Master Reset I think some pre-installed games and applications are gone.
Apple iPhone 4, HTC Evo 3D, HTC Sensation, HTC Inspire 4G, HTC Desire S, HTC Wildfire, S001, SO905iCS, T650 (Gold & Green), C901, W800, K660, K700, Beibei (G702), Severine (DEAD) |

That's true. You just lose pre installed games and aplications but not esencial one like quick office etc. and even for that you are asked so you can chose. What you certainly lose is personal settings and data. Alter master reset you again go through OS instalation as in the case of SEUS upgrade i.e. chose language etc. I have done it after firmware upgrade and can agree it's a good thing. |

But it is still better formatting the internal disk instead of the master reset. The way to do that is entering the Service Menu (Jog Dial Up/ Press * / Jog Dial Down / Jog Dial Down / Press * /Jog Dial Down/ Press *) and choose "Format Internal Disk".
After that, it is very important not to use your back - up, because you would probably install again all the previous bugs. You must sincronyze with Outlook instead.
The problem of this procedure is that you loose all the previous installed software, but that you get is an "almost - free bugs" phone, and you speed up dramatically the phone.

If you format the internal disk you lose your languages too? For exemple if you do that on p900 you will lose all languages that were instaled in your phone except inglish. |

Didn't know that. Thanks for the info. I'll do it. About languages, all I need is English so it's fine with me. |

I was wondering if I should really go from the R5 firmware to the R7? Is it really helpful? |
