Although I haven't had any application install problems with 3.2006.49-2, I noticed the wifi connection automatically turns itself off after a few seconds after closing the browser window. Not that big of a deal to me as I don't usually need it on after using the browser much anyway, but just wondering if anyone else noticed this happening to them as well.

All in all, the connection time is a bit faster than before, and page rendering and scrolling is much faster and smoother from what I can tell.

Oh, and I might be imagining things, but it seems like boot time is a bit faster also.

Have you started the browser while not having any wifi connection? If yes, then the browser auto connects to wifi (if the device is not in flight-mode), and when you close the browser, it disconnects again. If you connect to wifi before starting the browser, it will not disconnect.

IMHO this is a quite reasonable behavior and saves me some clicks when I want to surf for a few minutes and then continue to use the device offline.

Ah, that makes sense. Did it do that in the previous version? I don't quite recall. Anyway I just wanted a second or third chime in on the issue before I started a bug report on it. Thanks pycage (sorry, had Texrat there before), you da man.

- Of course Texrat is quite helpful most of the time also.

=DC=, this is the default behavior in previous version; if it's there leave it, otherwise, connect, use, close.

But it's good to hear performance has improved; I assume you're sober, right?

Well, I don't drink or do any drugs (legal or otherwise), so I'd say that's a good sign of sobriety.

Yes, I installed the new OS last weekend. I re-installed all my applications from scratch from the repositories with Application Manager (except OpenSSH which installs with apt-get which still uses the repositories).

On Maemo site (download/upgrade section, I can't remember), by providing your product ID (WLAN ID found under the battery), you can download the earlier versions. The process of changing firmware is the same.

TA

that did the job. Have downgraded as I could not get gnumeric to work on latest version.
