R7A firmware upgrade improvements |

I noticed two minor improvements from R6A:
1) When sending e-mail with attachments, the window displaying progress information now shows up. In R6A this window was "hidden" under the "Server found" window, and it was impossible to see any information when sending the attached pictures. The e-mail was sent correctly though.
2) Updates to XHTML rendering. On my XHTML pages a few whitespaces was incorrectly inserted where they weren't supposed to. With R7A, the pages renders like a charm...
Not much, but still improvement from R6A:) |

just had my upgrade this morning. aside fom the improvement in speed, one thing that's really noticeable is the stability of the bluetooth connection. I use my pda a lot when i browse and the paucity of bluetooth interruptions is refreshing.

I did the upgrade this afternoon too for free at SE SM North EDSA. First impression, fast scrolling.

@abe, when you had the upgrade to r7a at sm north, did they do a master reset? Were all your saved stuff like pics, rings and themes deleted? Thanks!

Don't know if i'm imagining this but do you guys experience better power management after the upgrade. I'm noticing lesser battery drain under intensive use and increased standby and talk time on a full charge compared to r6a.

Experienced one flaw in the upgrade. It seems the candidate list bug is still there. Happened twice and both times it was after pressing pqrs keypad once and trying to choose from the list, it won't let you. Most of the time it works fine, as said it happened only twice. Please post if you experience other similar bugs.

Do a master reset. if that doesn't do the trick, have it reflashed.

think you had a bad upgrade, had mine done at smartnet and i don't experience those things. in answer to your question the lcd image appears more crisp.

No, they don't do a master reset when you have an upgrade done, hence all your contacts,pictures and such are not touched. It is always good idea though to back-up your data before having an upgrade in case something goes wrong and they have to do a master reset
