So finally I've been tired of waiting and flashed pr 1.3 to my phone. After spending hours to get back all my apps and playing with it for a day, my impressions are: - it seems a little bit faster, although not as fast as pr 1.2 + fastern9 (example: try loading a webpage, swipe it away, go to your main screen / notification screen and try to move around - for my there was an unpleasant shuttering), installing faster n9 on pr 1.3 makes it better - 3G/2G connectivity improved + webpages load faster - Ovi store was much faster when downloading and installing apps - contrary to what I've read before, when I move my icons/folders around I still to have confirm it with "done" rather then just tap wherever to finish - the tendency of my screen to get "reddish" in bright daylight vanished (previously the "white balance" was normal in low/medium light conditions and when I got outside on a sunny day it seemed to try to increase it's brightness and it would turn really reddish - to clarify, I always set my screen to maximum brightness, but this only happened in bright sun) nope, my bad - this annoying thing is still there... - haptic feedback of keyboards (both stock and swype) is improved, still stock seems more responsive than swype when typing - it's harder to unintentionally "click" on your notification screen and be moved to facebook or sth - big + Otherwise, everything seems business as usual.
So far I have been trough 3 cycles of charging/discharging my N9 since PR1.3 - I notice improvement in power consumption. All 3 times I got to 48 hours, without even PSM mode been engaged at 10% battery level. So phone probably will go over 55 hours autonomity. This is with always on Wi-Fi/2G, 3xIMAP always up-to-date, 10-20 emails/daily(read+write), 20 SMS's (received+send), 1.0-1.5 hours of browsing/twitter daily.
Quoting my own original issue, I seemed stumbled upon a quick fix by installing Open Video Player. Been able to play the clip smoothly again
I have to admit that I had my doubts about PR 1.3, but it freakin' rocks! It's blazing fast with FasterN9, N9QuickTweaks (Tweak A), and Opera v.12 as the default browser. I was overclocked to 1.375GHz on PR 1.2, but the current set up is faster and smoother. I highly recommend that you reflash using the Flasher and Navifirm!
Almost 1,5years now, and still no document-editor ? #facepalm
Will the N9 possibly gets better after Pr1.3 if you Factory Reset it? or reinstall pr1.3 on a clean N9? or isnt it true?
Battery life in these new phones is such a joke, we might as well call them Landlines!!
Guys I heard most of you say WiFi connectivity has grown faster, not that it bothers me but today I happened to spend a couple of minutes with my son's Galaxy Ace, I clicked on WiFi On and it activated almost instantly, only then I noticed N9 is slower in this department. Has it really improved?
I'll go and hard reset the device.. Start fresh, and hopefully these problems should go away.
