Statements like this are of no use whatever on a thread ( and indeed a site ) discussing technology ( and useless to people looking for feedback on the FW ).
So, yes, substantiate your claim with some facts, please.
* so far R6E runs fine on my unbranded P990.
The major bugs are fixed and no new ones introduced.
I get the impression that it's slightly faster and that memory management is a bit better, however uptime only 16 hours so time will tell !
With only SMPro open in the background, free RAM settles to 11.5MB ( having used LCG Jukebox, Projekt, Messaging, Mobipocket, Smartmovie, and several apps native to phone, and allowed SMP to close them. Prior on R6D I got about 10.3MB. SMPro set to level 2. I did not format c: or master reset either before or after the update. )

Hi there,
I upgraded to R6E28 today and unfortunately i discovered that fring will no more make VoiP calls !
I installed the fring application and the plugin, and after login, i tryed to call fring test, as i used to do on my last firmware R5, everything was ok. Now, can't hear anything ! no voice over IP !!!
Is it the same case for all people who upgraded or just me ?

My observations regarding R6E28:
- No noticeable speed improvement over R6D23. I did a format+master reset and played around with R6D23 before upgrading, this was already faster than before. Based on this, I saw no speed improvements with R6E28.
- The two most talked about bugs, space bar and CText, are fixed.
- RDS still doesn't work properly, in fact it got worse than before. Now even the station names do not display correctly at times.
- Edit before call in FC mode still doesn't work. There is just no way to edit a number in FC mode.
- Sound level over bluetooth stereo headphones still way to low, it's acceptable with the supplied cable headphones.
- In FO mode, when writing an SMS, you can use the jog dial to select the list of recent contacts used, but if you need to select a number from your contacts application you can't select that number with pressing jog dial.
- Backup/Restore of PCSuite works well for Unified Inbox, Notes, Settings, internal multimedia. All network settings, FM presets are restored properly.
- Most of my applications on memory stick were able to reinstall themselves correctly.
In short, I have not noticed any differences from R6D23 except for the two bugs mentioned which were fixed - probably copy/pasted from R5. So basically we still have the same R6 version as before.
Excluding the bugs I have mentioned, I had a pretty stable phone with R6D23 and R6E28 is just as stable, no problems so far - I am using SMP with level 3 reclaim though, I still think it's necessary.
- fring works well.
P990i: A mistake, a curse and a disgrace  So I lowered my expectations and settled for a P1i. I couldn't keep my expectations so low for a long time so now I have an HTC Touch HD |

Seems like there is no major need to move from my R5 Firmware then...
Best regards,

It's better, faster, more stable.No fix on headphones with LCG Player. Still have 10 mb free if I use SM level 3 after 2 days of hard use.

well tested it for 1 day.....its a "yeah whatever" firmware.....
1)the sapce bar bug has been fixed....of no use to me ne way...
2)The phone is a little faster......
3)The battery doesn't last as much as it did with the previous firmware...the previous firmware gave me an AMAZING standby time.
4)memory leak seems to be worse(to me)......restarted in the morning...now at 10 in the night it says just 6mb left....and some games wont work because of that.
5)Camera works fantastically well, auto focus fixed....although pictures taken with full zoom came really dark for me....(dunno if its a bug)
waiting to unravel more... |

Thanx, I am it right now. It didn't mother me a lot cuz I'd just unplug and plug back the headphones and it'd work but it's nice of them to stay updated.
