Re: Android status as a daily phone
Thanks urodelo. What about the listen volume? And about hibernation? Is the energy saver working as it should? I mean the phone can sleep and wake without problems? Denis.

I've just installed few applications, and except some occasional freeze, I'm not experimenting any special problem. However, I find there aren't many interesting applications available (for my taste), not like in shr. Moreover, its difficult to do every little change in the system. But if you just want to use it as mobile phone, i think it's ok. I didn't test gps and bluetooth yet, I assume they work. Wifi works very well, it automatically reconnects if i go out of range for some time. I've it on nand; booting it can sometimes be a challenge, if your finger isn't quick enough, especially if you have just opened your eyes after a deep sleep.
