OS 4.7.0.99...Pros/Cons??

So I've been running the .99 leaked OS now since last night and so far, I'm very impressed! For me, the camera seems to have been the one thing that just wasn't getting better, but it does seem to work a bit smoother in this build. Yeah, there have been other bugs along the way, but so far, since installing .99, I've not had any noticeable problem. In fact, the only major issue I'm having is that my Storm will not sync with my PC anymore, but that started on .75, so I can't blame the leaked OS's for that!

So what is everyone thinking of .99 so far?...is it finally a good stable OS for most of you?

This is the most stable OS for me since the official .75 release.

Only two things I have noticed that are negative:
-The network connection to Verizon (phone or data) has turned off a couple of times.
-Screen backlight turns off too early sometimes

So far I am very impressed. My Storm is behaving well 😁

Yeah, I'm really liking this one!...I did have the same issue this morning with the connection turning off (no emails on my phone) but I did my first battery pull since loading the new OS and it's all been fine all day. As for the backlight, can't say I've noticed anything there...I'm just glad it DOES turn off now!

Anyway, hopefully this is a sign that a Verizon release is on the horizon!

in my opinion, i like .99 the best. i havent had any problems exc except one random white reset screen, and thats it. and i use the phone a lot, and a lot of its features and 3rd party apps, and havent had any issues with this build.

as far as the computer not syncing, i had that problem when i was flashing to .99... everything went fine, but when loading my data (phonebook ect.) it failed and the computer said there was a problem with the usb device and would not sync or connect or anything.

i restarted the computer, and that helped. but you say it started since .75 so you have probably restarted the computer since then.

the only thing i could say to try is to uninstall everything related to the storm (desktop manager, ect.) and re...

Yeah, I've actually done two Windows installs on my PC since .75, so the Desktop manager has been reinstalled twice since then! I think I'll just need to call Verizon up and get some tech help from them.

But I'm with you on .99 being the best out! It's running very smooth for me! I just hope it stays that way!...or better yet...the Verizon update could come out instead of another leak!

yeah i agree, although, if i were vzw i would issue .99 as official, but that could change by this weekend. they all run ok for the first 2 or 3 days, then things go south
