Not official until Sprint says it is.
Anybody know if I can have this done at a sprint store?
Are there really only 3 screens still? Am I missing a setting or am I actually going to have to break down and download one of the home replacement apps.
Pandora Enhancement. lol, you mean 'it works now'
And why the hell don't we get native live wallpaper support? That's just asinine.
cuz it really lags the phone and kills battery life. i have it installed and its cool and all but removing any live wallpaper and using a standard one greatly speeds up the phone. i guess sprint decided to leave it out for performance issues. no biggie if you want it just add it through recovery 3.0.8.
They also didn't fix the tower based location issues broken in the 2.1 beta's that were fixed in cl14. Google maps still has me 22 miles away when I use it in my home.
That's because you use an Airave. Turn off your Airave and your tower based location will be correct again. Obviously that isn't really a reasonable fix, but how often do you need location information from your house? As soon as you leave the Airave service area, you will get an accurate reading again.My opinion? I think they left it out for the same reason they left out multi touch, 4+ home screens and improved gallery. They assigned minimal resources to this phone and get minimal results.

I know everyone is all giddy about the update and while it does greatly improve the experience, it leaves me deeply disappointed in Samsung. My next device will likely be Android, it won't be made by Samsung!
qftyeah samsung fails! They make a device then hang it out to dry and they move on to the next device! This will be my last samsung product!!!

And just so you know, the same thing happens with the HTC Hero running 2.1 in conjunction with an Airave. This is a Sprint issue.
I guess I don't know what to say...at work with 2.1 on my Moment it showed me right across the street from my office (satellites turned off). At home, with both the Hero and Moment running 2.1, it shows me about 15 miles away from my house. Same location for both the Hero and the Moment. I find it hard to believe this is a Samsung issue when it works fine away from the Airave, yet both the Hero and Moment act in the same manner when on my Airave. And this was never an issue with 1.5...both phones were accurate within 1 mile in spite of the Airave.Tried that a few weeks ago, turned off the Airave and...same location. A couple of weeks ago I updated a friends Moment for him. With cl14 (and the Airave on), the location was in the street in front of the house (reasonable), with 2.1 it's 22 miles off. Same thing at Penn Station. With cl14 your in the middle of 7th ave near 34th (reasonable). With 2.1 you're at 16th and 1st on the east side near Stuyvesant Town. It's inconsistent one place is fine, move a mile away and it's several miles off. It's a trip taking the LIRR from PENN and watching the location jump back and forth miles as you (presumably) move from tower to tower. It's not nearly as bad as cj05, but its not nearly good enough to trust and it was much better with cl14
