Nah, I think most of these issues are there in R7, too. I'm a lot more satisfied with my phone anyway.

@antichrist:
IMHO, no. It's definitely an improved firmware. Faster menus, more stable multitasking, more free RAM on boot. The camera application is also faster, although the autofocus problem wasn't solved in this update.

@firetech:
It seems that restoring the pre-R9 backup changes the default font size to Large. I just did a hard reset and can see that the default is now Medium.

@ Ares.
The sound when in a phone call, the one coming from speaker is far way lower than the previous firmware. |

Guys,
i don't know about you but my p990i after the update it crashes every time i disconnect it from the usb cable.
It usually happens when the phone has a few programs open.
It gives the same old irsend reason code 0 thing.
The new update has surely made a better job in handling multitasking but this is still far from being what is supposed to be.
The memory leakage is still there, the stand by screen can use a lot of updating and more usability added to it, the flash does not work on video mode camera ( this should work), the contact pictures are not very clear, it cannot use as a wallpaper moving images or images bigger then 370kb, when opening received messages the screen flicks a few times then goes to the normal message application then opens it, etc. etc.
It still is a great phone but it needs more work.
Hopefully SE won't just sit back now and leave us with this firmware, i hope they know what is wrong with the phone and continue updating it.

I'm quite sure that's not the case as I did restore my current data from an R7 backup...
@alphaAFM
Sure the USB connection isn't used (you can see it is if there are two arrows on the USB icon) when you unplug it?

@firetech,
No, the only thing that is using it is the pc, everything that was being installed or transfered had finished and the phone was just sitting there connected.
But when i disconnected it crashes with irsen reason 0, this is not everytime, i have noticed that when the ram is low it happens. |

I steal have the old fw, but I never had the auto focus problem (normal mode, not speaking about macro mode). Somebody say 8 out of 10 are not auto focused but in my case is rather the opposite-8 out of 10 are quite good. I use to hard copy them and it's like a descend digital camera's pictures. For me the slight problem is not auto focuse but pictures in darker environment ( specially at night), then it's harder to get a really good picture despite of camera's light ( although I manage to get some really nice). Don't know how it looks with a new fw. |

I'll try and reflash it to see if I can help in fixing this low speaker sound that I didnt have before. Mainly this is the worst thing I have noticed, otherwise everything's better than before but still it needs more improvements especially in the memory field. |

How's your auto-focus when you zoom? Mine work kinda good without zoom, but with it, it goes all blurry (the more you zoom, the worse it gets). I can even see it pass through a better focus setup before it settles with the worst one... About the camera light, it doesn't have a long range, so it only works on close shots (more distance than macro, but not much more).

I have just installed latest firmware: R9EA001, R5A01, R4A13, R4A09 included.
ActiveSync, POP3 and IMAP e-mail accounts are now not working!
I have messed around all day re-installing, restoreing backups etc. without any success! Just wish I could go back to the previous version!
This SE Update realy sucks! |

@mark169
Might be a bad flashing or backup for you, cause both my IMAP accounts are working perfectly. To avoid problems, you actually shouldn't restore your backup after update, doing that can cause a lot of problems apparently. I had no problems after doing that, though, except maybe for a little less RAM on startup compared to other people (still better than R7). Anyway, my IMAP accounts were added manually after the upgrade, since I had strange problems with them earlier (in R7, turned out to be the servers' fault).
