Extremely pleased with PR1.3 - maemo.org

kaput | # 1 | 2010-10-29, 14:21 | Report

I'm seeing a number of threads where people are reporting problems with PR1.3. I must say that I'm actually really happy with the release. I've not experienced any newly introduced bugs and my phone is considerably more responsive overall, especially Modest (without overclocking or swappiness tweaks). Also, while I've not done any official benchmarks, it would seem battery performance has increased by at least 25%.

I really couldn't be much happier with it if indeed this is the last major Maemo release.

The only real complaint I have is still a combination of no IMAPidle and the fact that Nokia Messaging's servers won't interact with my mail server because it doesn't have a supported, signed cert. My sincere hope, though, is that by early next year, I'll be running a properly functioning build of Meego and this issue will be resolved.

Regardless, thanks to everyone who contributed. My phone is used constantly for work (I'm a Linux admin) and play. I appreciate the effort.

I am happy too. This device will last me for another year at least, until new Meego device rolls out.

I like it too. My only main niggles are that the menu scrolling is still juttery (in fact it freezes on me, then goes to the 'move icon' screen). Folders would be nice too as ApMeFo is still in devels and buggy. Also, portrait keyboard should have been implemented.

It's a great update, but for the time taken between this and 1.2, there could/should have been more features.

i did this also. and the device feels the same, no battery improfment and not faster at all. Only noticeable difference is version number. I oc;d at 800 MHz using titans kernel v40 So far no problems at all.
