No, that is Opera's fault. It loads via it's own proxy to speed things up, but compresses images as a result.

View a page in IE and images will be their normal size and quality.

Have switched to Virgin from Tmobile and as they use the same networks both suffer the image compression, it doesnt matter what browser you use it still does it. If I tether the phone and use a laptop for browsing with firefox it still compresses the image.

Yeah I still get that problem with Opera Turbo disabled and in IE, so its definately the image proxy thats making it look bad. According to this thread http://www.3g.co.uk/3GForum/showthread.php?t=44215 if you are a T-Mobile user it can be disabled. Can Virgin users do it too?

Had enough of not being able to connect to the internet with the Virgin sim so i slapped in my Voda sim and voila! Blazingly fast, solid 3G connection. Oh and images werent compressed either (on Opera), so its not an Opera issue.

I would be keeping this handset if it wasnt for Virgin's poor network speeds!

1.66 out officially....again no Vodafone version so looks like I'm gonna get the one off XDA as usual

Will report back on how good it is

Andy Pandy · 27 Jan 2010 at 20:09

I think I will upgrade the ROM. I am still on the standard one! A few bugs are now really annoying me..

Best thing I've done in all honesty Andy, 1.43 to 1.66 would probably show a massive improvement for yourself....

Just installing now!!!

Lakeland · 27 Jan 2010 at 20:22

Installing now here too, HTC say improvements are only sms? Are there other upgrades not mentioned because a full ROM for a small fix seems a bit ott

Russinating · 27 Jan 2010 at 20:26

Let me know how it goes guys and I may well join you

Andy Pandy · 27 Jan 2010 at 21:12

How do I sync my contacts? I cant tick the box on Windows mobile device centre.

Lakeland · 27 Jan 2010 at 21:32

have you signed into your live account?

Andy Pandy · 27 Jan 2010 at 22:17

No. Is that what I have to do then? Just sign in with my regular hotmail account?

Seems perfectly stable and is relatively quicker from 1.48 in my experience

All going well so far

Just need to do my usual tweaking, all the fixes seem to be present as far as I'm aware.

I'm happy with my 1.66 cooked ROM

1pudding1 · 28 Jan 2010 at 18:01

Not flashed a new ROM...yet. But do you have to reinstall everything again every time you do? Including re-doing all settings? That would really put me off.

Yes you do, but consider the following:

1) Most apps take seconds to install
2) A lot of apps let you export settings
3) Some cooked ROMs have an "autoinstall" feature (you put any cabs in an "autoinstall" DIR and they get automatically installed after the flash).
4) There are backup utilities (Sprite Backup and others) which let you export system settings and also other Regediting apps which let you export the reg.

All in all, it's not 'that' much hassle - unless you maybe have 101 apps installed... in which case....... get a life

Andy Pandy · 28 Jan 2010 at 20:22

Just flashed the ROM. All seems grand

Although I cant install duttys. It just says unsuccessful every time now! Any way to install it?

Lakeland · 28 Jan 2010 at 20:48

Ok well two problems since i installed-

I can't sync to MyPhone, when I sync it connects but does not download my contacts, favourites etc

Purchases I made on the marketplace does not show when I log in...

Otherwise it is quite good. Seems faster..
