Did you post directly to the file?? Posting directly to the file is a no-no while posting to a site describing and then posting to the file is okay.

Sometimes things just happen. Grin and bear it. What's important is that the link made it here at all. I don't see it as a competition to see who found it first. I found it and installed it. I didn't want to link to a broken OS. if you know what I mean.

Is it just me who thinks. .144 sucks? Lower memory, less snappier and battery life seems to be back at post .133 levels.

One way to find out, I will let you guys know. In the process of loading up.

EDIT: .144 is working just as good as .133 and lower memory? No
less snappier? No

Can't comment on the battery life as of yet.

EDIT2: The battery life seems to be the same as .133.

I upgraded last night and I have noticed the battery life is much better. I think it is just as fast (some screens seem faster). I didn't really pay attention to free memory before hand. But overall I am happy with it.

I have to say the 8900 rocks. It is a really nice phone. If .144 increases the battery life I will be completely satisfied.

Today is my first real test on battery life. I'll have WiFi and BT on all day. On .133 I nearly killed the 8900 not trying to with no BT, I was down to 15% battery by 8pm or so and didn't even use it to listen to music at the gym. Not a heavy day of usage either, by my own standards with calls and texts (coming from an old K1 that was still holding up extremely well battery wise). I hope .144 does well for me, thus far the battery life has been my only real gripe, that and UMA handoff.

If you are using a first release 8900 you may need to exchange it. There are known battery/standby issues with the first release devices. I had horrible battery life with my first 8900.

Currently I am running .144 and have wifi aand BT on all the time. I don't power use the device by any means... I abuse my Bold and just use the 8900, I unplugged it at 0800 yesterday morning. Browsed on a flight to Washington (State) and received a few calls. IT is now 0912 the next day and it is down by 1 bar.

This is pretty good considering the first device would go down one bar during a 10 minute phone call.

None what so ever, it looks like everyone has their own little problems.
