Should I try .246?

honestly I just wanted the .246 update files, now HoB nothing, every time I install a leak I wipe and factory reset etc... I honestly feel it's better and use TB to backup what I want as well as my text messages and call logs. I'm going to go ahead and follow your thread though as I am tired of the horrible battery life I'm getting on .230

edit: I've also found the files etc from your thread as I couldn't seem to find them before for some reason.

I don't have time for nonsense. The Android world isn't the only place I play in. In fact, it's a very small part of my online time. And right now, I need to be spending time on an HTPC project but this Bionic stuff has been taking up WAY too much time lately. It's why I want a damn OTA already.
 
My flash works great on 246 everything so far seems great thanks Sam you are great keep up all the good work

246 has been stellar for me, as well. Battery life at the race was phenomenal. This phone has never been better.

Out of curiosity, are any of you using any special tweaks to get these results and still actually use their phone? I have a few smart actions set up, don't use any 3rd party task managers, but I do have watchdog installed to keep a tab on rouge ram killing apps (not sure if it's actually necessary though)

Other than disabling the apps I have in my faq, no special magic. I do adjust the brightness on the display down manually. And yes, I was using it this weekend.
 
I just updated to .246 yesterday from 905 and man...what a huge difference. Clocked now at 1.2 ghz this thing is screaming. just busted out a 3322 quadrant score this morning..I love the bionic again!!!!!

Some Bionics can't do 1.2GHz. There's been speculation that when installing the updates, it runs a test or something to see if it is capable of handling it and sets the frequency accordingly.

Well, some won't do 1.2 based strictly on the ics update, we can force the oc on any bionic, ics or gb, through kernel modules.

Anyone know what the criteria is? Shouldn't the hardware all be the same?

First we thought it was revision number of the cpu itself, then BOGO MIPS, now we know how to force it and nobody has worried about it.
