M8 Firmware 0.9.0.4 [leaked]

It would be better if they added a 16 million color in Photo and Video Viewer!

New language-select button in video player
(for files with two audiotracks)

Nice. Much better than the previous one.

- You no longer have to slide the music player buttons to the middle of the screen, only touch them

Installed, clearly an advantage over the previous version.

I can confirm the bass improvement, it's much better then previous firmware (this was one of my main gripes with it).

Also the interface speed seems a little bit improved, still a ways to go yet on this front though...

Definitely a far superior firmware,

Most of my previous issues have been fixed.

And the animations are quick and clean.

Only thing is that the Bluetooth activesync still not working.

What is it about?

I think it's a new service provided by some Chinese network operators.

my guess, as being a foreigner, would be that for buiness folk one could assign two phone number to one sim-card, no need for fancy mods, just one standard sim-card and two phone numbers.

For all the others of us from the west:

YouTube - dual sim card holder - cutting / Compact type

question: where has the phone icon gone?

There was never a phone icon by default.

I believe you just touch your operator's name on the bottom of the home screen to call, but I'm quite sure there is an icon for SMS.

But I managed to make it appear without changing anything in the registry... just changing theme! Don't ask me how...

I updated this firmware but seems that still many spellings to be get corrected in the English version and many Cities in the International clock has wrong pronunciation as well as there is a mistake in the Time format between India and China too...But it is still very nice and i have also updated the New Softmaker in English works very well in it..

When you have missed calls while the screen is still locked, the phone icon will now take you to the actual Missed Calls screen

now pushing M button while you're in the music player won't stop the music (close the app) but will set it as background task

What? It never stopped the music, and it was always running in the background.
