Can someone upload a sample recorded video (848x800@24fps) to compare the quality to the previous pr1.1.1 video recording?

I read a post on the previous thread that the bitrate had been significantly dropped 3500kbps to like 600kbps and this worries me alot

This may be how video recording is now "smooth" and doesnt drop frames, because they may have significantly reduced the quality.

Somewhere in that thread the poster rectified that he was mistaken.

That's not a bug. It's by purpose since the power supply cable might act as an antenna and transmit more power than allowed.

There are some scripts in extras-devel that let you adjust the TX power, anyway.

The question to anybody who did upgrade to leaked version -

Does it still have a problem with thumbnailerd which stops playing video files in system media player even from camera shots?

Another question - is it with new QT4.6?
How about free root file space?

Browsing the web is a bit faster, the device seems a bit faster in everything.. i like portrait browsing mode but atm i see you cant close a webpage if you do not return to landscape mode (ther's not a X button). Camera seems pretty similar except for the night mode (for pics and videos), maps got a great improvement its faster than before but lacks of voice guidance. Email widget shows up but its nothing special.. i found a nasty bug into the calendar..i dunno why the calendar widget doesnt display anything..i tried to create today's events etc but nothing is displayed :/ (error resolved by itself after a random numbers of reboots lol) also ive noticed an improvement for data counters..now home and roaming data are splitted (thats why dataplan monitor doesnt work). thers a new option under settings that is called "clear device" ..i didnt tried it so i dont know what "clear" will do..
The only thing i cannot understand is how n900 manges video calls. i did many calls to and from n900 using skype and gtalk.. and not always i was able to make videocalls. sometims the camera button didnt appear .. for example i tried to call from n900 to my laptop (with gtalk) and i wasn't able to make a video call. then i tried to call my desktop (with the same gtalk account that was on the laptop) and this time the camera button magically appeared ... :S i have the same version of gtalk, same settings and 2 webcams.. i noticed that if i call with skype or gtalk a user who has skype/gtalk on another n900 then videocalls are always possible.. quite odd huh ?

To those who have PR1.2 installed and are claiming microb speedups:

Go to: about:config in microb, search for jit

Are the chrome/content jit options set to true on your device? (They aren't on by default on 1.1)

If they aren't on by default, try setting them to True and see if you get further improvements.
