Samsung Instinct

Sarah,

A whole hearted thank you. I'm about to update now. (Deep breath.) Okay.... Here we go.... Wish all us Instinct user's some luck.

Keep us updated on how MR-7 works out.  I'm holding off for a while until I know what I'm getting myself into. 

It loaded and now my Instinct shows;

PRL:  60652

SW:ES.M800 CH27

HW:M800.08

MCL: 5.5.28

OBIGO: Q7.2-1.0 B

Email: 6.9.4.239

Voicemail: VN.4.1.0.21

Navigation: 2.1.0.25

Music: 2.2.48

SprintTV: 3.0.62

Live Search: 1.70.1

Pocket Express: 1.2.24

After upgrading to MR-7 on my Instinct M800, I did a quick check of functionality. So far, all instinct functions and applications on my Instinct appear to be working properly. Sprint TV and my download app KBcalc also appears to work properly. After checking the browser functions, I still notice that the Out of Memory error persists. But I was pretty sure this was not going to be fixed with MR-7. However, I did notice some graphics that didn't load previously on certain websites, appear to work now. However, there were some graphics like the one at the Sprint Community website that still doesn't work. Other than that, all of the web functions of Live Search, Weather, News, Sports, Movies, and My Account appear to be working as they should. I did notice a slight speed improvement on music loading from the SD card.

However, this is just an initial run through. I think we'll need a few days of checking things out before we give MR-7 a proper judgement call. So far, my initial assessment of MR-7 looks slightly positive.

Stay tuned.

First thing I noticed after my phone restarted after the update is "!" in place of some of my pics on my speed dial page again

Second thing I noticed is now I need to reZoom every webpage again, because It's not remembering the zoom set from the last page again. This isn't even in standard mode but mobile....developers/update guys can confirm this by actually grabbing an updated Instinct and go to fun/shopping...then surf and see for yourself..

Yahoo.com homepage standard mode still gives me " The running script can make browser very slow.  Continue anyway? "

instinct-samsung.com still gives an " out of memory "

and CNN.com standard mode just soft reset my phone,

so, not sure what web errors the update fixed

.

All of the above happened on my second phone after CD17, and seems to be repeating on my third phone after this update

Pandora and Loopt still work

Thanks Sarah

Thank you very much Sarah and the Development Team,

It's great to finally have MR-7, and a nice surprise...wasn't expecting it today.

Still trying to figure out what has changed for the better, but nothing has gone wrong.

The Web browser does seem to open  more briskly.

Sarah's original post said that it fixed the error in internet connection coming back out of airplane mode.....good thing the message was edited to remove that, because as I got off the plane today, it did not remove that error.  I had to turn off airplane mode, then power cycle the phone to get internet connections.

Other than that, now the APIs have the option for "always allow" for all APIs for all apps.  Before, in MR6, they only asked to allow until exit for writing to the SD card.  Glad to see that was fixed.
