Help Donut for Galaxy - usable?

Ooh. Cheers, I'll check that out. Ta.

Using 1.6 JB2. By far the best firmware for me yet. The phone lock button is fixed but more importantly the call hang up problems which plagued my phone previously are significantly better, if not completely gone!

using 1.6 JB2.

pros:
- glad the unlock screen is working nicely
- nice to have the new android market
- have access to some 1.6+ apps like the new maps, gesture search and google goggles (although the latter is useless IMO)

cons:
- battery life sucks (it was never great on 1.5, but it's worse now)
- camera broken- seems to take pics but they appear in your gallery as a grey "x", so they never get stored. might be just me because i've not read anyone else having this problem
- it is extremely laggy and slow switching Activities and using the marketplace
- lots of force-close/wait prompts, particularly when returning to the homescreen
- missing copy-protected apps in marketplace but that's to be expected given that it's a leaked firmware
- low media volume (can barely hear it on the tube!)

looking forward to trying a new build because the lag is killing me, but will stick with it because it's good to have new market and 1.6 apps.

guess you've got the no-sleep bug? not having it, i'm getting brilliant battery life

works fine for me

- it is extremely laggy and slow switching Activities and using the marketplace
- lots of force-close/wait prompts, particularly when returning to the homescreen

these are the only 2 cons compared to ik4 (my previous fw) for me - tho' i'd only use the word extremely in the context of downloading/installing apps from the market
also, haven't tested the volume thing yet - gonna do so tomorrow

- glad the unlock screen is working nicely

i wish they'd make it so that you'd only have to give the unlock button a normal, short press and nothing else to unlock the screen - it's not like it's gonna do any pocket-calls or anything since the screen is capacitive

Similarly, I'm getting good battery life on 1.6 JB2.

Yes you are absolutly right, since the screen is capacitive there are no point to use lock buton on current way

actually ive had it in my pocket unlocked and its dialled someone
if its facing your leg and its warm with thin pockets it will pick it up.

also the buttons for ok and dpad become active
