I've been trying out QT Extended 4.4.2 for a few days now, and I thought I'd share my observations so far:<br><br> - Stability seems better than I originally thought - After my one experience seeing it not wake up from suspend on a call, I haven't noticed any other issues - I've received a fair number of calls and sms's, and the phone has always woken up.<br>
<br> - The biggest issue for me atm is that I don't get an audible ring tone for either calls or sms messages - This is a regression since QtE 4.4.1 - any suggestions on how to resolve it would be very welcome.<br><br>
- I've missed one un-expected phone call because by the time I noticed the vibration and got the phone out of my pocket, all I saw was the dreaded 'view missed calls?'. However, I think this is more related to the lack of an audible ring, rather than the problem I saw in OM2008.8 where by the time the phone woke up from suspend the call had gone to voice mail. I was able to sucessfully answer an unexpected call this morning, which I don't think *ever* happened with OM2008.8<br>
<br> - Battery life is *much* improved over OM2008.8 - I went more than 24 hours without recharging and still had two bars of battery left.<br><br>There are a few minor issues I've noticed:<br><br> - the lack of an icon for the terminal in the apps list is annoying. Does QT Extended provide a 'run' capability, which would allow a user to directly enter an application to run?<br>
<br> - 4.4.1 provided 3 different appearance themes - but 4.4.2 only provides 1, and unfortunately it's not the one I preferred.<br><br> - speakerphone mode didn't work - I think this is also a regression from <a href="http://4.4.1.">4.4.1.</a> <br>
<br><br>Even with the various annoyances and regressions, QT Extended is the closest I've seen so far to making my OM usable as a daily phone. <br><br>I haven't seen the behaviour I saw once with OM2008.8 and once with 4.4.1 where the phone gets into a strange state where it can no longer make or recieve calls - we'll see if I bump into that one eventually or not...<br>
