Was your radio signal better with .122? That's the main problem I am having. And as such my battery life is suffering with .132

Yeah, my signal was a little better with .122. I don't notice a huge difference on batt life between the two, but my signal with .132 isn't horrible either, just was better with .122. Think I'm going to switch back to .122, just wanted to give .132 a few days to settle in, but so far, not all that great.

Wierd. I'm on Bell and .122 was their officilatheir official release. I took a leap and installed .132. Surprisingly the signal is stronger than with .122. Holding at 5 bars where before I used to average 3. :02:

Hope the next phone lasts you a long time. My click is slowly getting worse on one side of my screen. Can't win!

i had to get my phone replace 3 times for the dust bunnies. but i found this little trick on you tube. if you put some lil sheets of paper under the battery it will click 65% better.

Check this tutorial out to fix the screen click by adjusting the torx screws. I might try it later. TUTORIAL

Please be careful with this procedure...

I know some that it worked for and others it has not.

for anyone using a hybrid on tmobile i just discovered that if you disconnect the APN you will not lose your EDGE, you will then have to force your apps to use BIS, I just did it and it seems to be working, normally if i turn my phone off and then back on i would lose EDGE and it would require several boots. I will continue to monitor

Ok maybe i spoke to soon just lost EDGE and had a freeze

I loaded and ran .132 for 24 hours, and I was OK with it except memory was sporadic, lose 7MB, gain 5MB...etc. Battery was awful.

So late last night I wiped my phone...and, since I'm just really waiting for v4 on Sunday...I reloaded .132 and put v3.5 on top of it. Now I don't know what files from .132 stay and are used...if any, but I gotta tell you it is different !! Memory started at 48MB....and never went below 35MB. Battery on .132 went from full charge to 18 %...and with v3.5 on .132...battery (in the same amount of time), is still at 58%...same amount of use...just normal usage.

Thought that was interesting tho...

I've installed .122 on 'puter, and am ready for v4 !! :arms::arms:

What were you running before 132?

.122 / v3.5

From what I can glean, I belive those that have installed any of the 132 / 122 5.0 mixes, a wipe with JL Commander may be in order prior to the v4 install.

I always "wipe" before I "load" anyway !!:laugh2:

Yes very true. Plus you will want to have .122 installed as well as that will be the base OS in which to install v4 over.

this is what i have beentrying to say. im sure bbc will use newest radio (132) alongwith the mix he has created with other small modifications. this hybrid is working BEAUTIFULLY for me started at 55mb and am now at 48mb. also i dont get any errors like i was getting with the 3.5 build. just copy your 3.5 java over to .132 or the radio from .132 overto 3.5. it works great and is definately an improvement over 3.5 for me. any questions please post
