Mac software updates

[Gary]

Battery life is MUCH better now. I left the phone on overnight (I'm off work I'll, so I've got nothing better to do!) and it used 11% with wireless enabled. Pre update you'd be lucky if the phone had more than 20% left with that on, overnight.

Glad its beeter Niall, 4.3 added ALSR  so maybe there was a bug in that and 4.3.1 cured it.

[Niall]

Well I've been leaving this on now, with wi-fi always on and this update has either vastly improved something, or corrected something that was broken. I actually left it on for 2 days, with occasional use (generally when I was in bed feeling ill!) and it only ran down to 46% which is a huge improvement.

So mini waves and yay

[Lance]

Sounds like it's fixed something, rather than improved it.

Has it got a password importer yet?

[Steve]

Er No!

[Simon]

Sod!  If it did, I might seriously have tried it, but I have too many stored passwords in SeaMonkey to be able to switch without the means to transfer them.

4.3.2 is out. Installing now, because my phone is working perfectly, and that won't do
