Notice:
I didn't face any SOD issue, I update via PC Companion and I didn't root yet, I read gfan China forum, people mention the current root method seems got some issue.

Base on my previous root - vroot (I fail in 360 root) - I dislike it do apps startup optimization in background, I try to close all, then the phone behavior weird where FC here and there, like YouTube and Stamina Mode. When I on back all, it behave ok. I hope something better root out soon, I don't like extra background process.

Nice review and information :)

I read your other post that you replied to me and you said you updated via pc companion. How did you do that without rooting your phone?

Unfortunately, my phone doesnt have the update when i plug it in.

I also cannot read chinese.

Thank you,

Aaron

@Andrewtst Nice one!

I assume your root (got by Vroot) was able to keep after this update, right?

And what do you mean by this below?
Nope, won't and I suggest don't root, they is something not correct after root and that vroot got background running app - dunno what startup apps optimization.


You had after update force close issue, but somehow you fixed it?

I fixed the issue already, I did a phone repair, now everything run perfectly fine.

510 lock screen, can not wake up.
No such issue for me.

Make sure you did a clean phone repair, all weird issue prompt will gone.

Also don't root, a lot complain got issue all due to root, and probably the FTF file got problem during create.

I update mine via PC Companion, then repair my phone completely as previously got Sound Enhancement Force Close issue. After repair, now I don't find single issue on it.

    How about White Balance (of screen)?

    Sent from my C6802 using xda app-developers app
    Don't have such options.

    Any one notice that in .510 firmware, stylus not so sensitive? In my case.... it is a little harder to write with pencil. Thanks.

    They trying to fix touch screen issue. We "all" have this issue., maybe some of us (like me) got it on minimum level.

    I can't get it why they don't want to make something like on galaxy s IV "increase screen sensitivity" selection. So we can manually choose what we want.

    Ok, this is a bit funny. Before 510 I had no touch issue whatsoever. Right after upgrade to 510, I noticed sensitivity is not enough to detect a metal object (I used the back cap of a mechanical pencil). And then I proceed doing something else, and when I tried using the same object again, it works! I did nothing system-related in between..

    Lools like the zu had its pwn mood :eek:
