I recently upgraded to the 6.1 software. I did a hard reset upgraded and allowed the bloatware. I tried to do a restore from SPB Backup but it did not go well. So hard reset, load bloat, and reinstalled everything from scratch. It took about 6 hours of work finding codes and downloading new installs to insure I was up to date.

I was able to import my settings from pocket plus which was nice. The rest was fresh installs. I have had the tilt since the first week of availability so it had a lot of junk on it. Fresh rebuild helped clear a lot of space and settings.

Long story short, I have been rather pleased. I have not had any of the problems listed here.

Once I ran GPS test (which took a good bit of time to get a 3d fix) things worked as well as before. TomTom, GPStoday, live search, google all respond well.

I recently got Kinoma Play through a trial of real player. Kinoma was only barley usable at first. Two updates later, I love this program. I do get a hang during it's initial scan of files upon start up but a fix is supposed to be on the way. I stop the process with memmaid and restart to pass the hang.

In pocket plus I get the occasional icon disappearing from the today launcher tab. This is a known 6.1 issue and is being looked into.

Everything else is good so far. Battery life does seem to be better. That would be my main reason for the upgrade. I cannot say I use any new features from 6.1. I am not much for the voice command. Tried it before, didn't do much for me.
