I loaded up the new new OS -- slick, uneventful install. But one issue buggs me-- the new message indicator will not go away. I've done the usuall; deleted all emails; check saved messages; deleted all texts; several battery pulls --- any ideas?
found it and I will share in case this happens to you. It was a removed email address that still had an unoppened message and the folder was still displayed in my hidden icons
Sprint usually does and even they haven't, so I'm confused. The funny thing is, when you go into the downloads page on Sprint, they have this update, but I can't get the update specifically through their device update website.
honestly when i updated to it this morning the red light continued to flash after recieving new texts throughout the next couple of hours though it eventually stopped...idk really no reason for it..and my text messaged times were messed up
I put this on my Verizon 9650 and suffered with it for a couple days. The radio absolutely sucks on Verizon. Constantly switching to 1X and roaming with data connection loss.
It was also VERY sluggish in all respects.
Horrible and I went back to the official VZW release this afternoon. Much better.
My battery life with OS 6 has suffered from day 1. I want to stay with 6 because it's the future but I'm not happy with it at all. I just uninstalled DexRex (message backup app) that's been prompting warnings about expired certificates, thinking this might be killing my battery. If deleting DexRex doesn't help I'm saying screw it and going back to OS 5.
I guess I've been lucky. I've been running OS6 on my 9650 practically since the first leak was posted here, and the majority of them have been good.
The radio on mine works fine - 1X hasn't shown in ages, and the battery life is fine for what I do (wifi, GPS, FB, Twitter, BBM, emails & a couple calls).
Nothing wrong with the phone, but at this point (in my head) its just a placeholder until the 9850 is released. Gonna give that a test drive, and if I can't adapt to the touchscreen keyboard, I'll swap for a 9930.
