EQO 1.5.0 seems highly unstable

I've just recently updated eqo on my phone to the new version 1.5.0, and ever since i've been having several problems.

First of, every other time or so that i try to start Eqo, my screen turns white for approximately 5 seconds and i'm back to the main screen (eqo is now of course closed). If i try to restart Eqo it might fail again or it might succeed. Very unpredictable and unsatisfying, especially if you would like to be able to make quick calls during a short break (that's my typical use case).

Second of all, i find it strange that my success rate for connecting to the eqo network has gone down a lot since i upgraded to 1.5.0. This is not due to any changes in my whereabouts or general network coverage, and thus i jump to the conclusion that the connection procedure must have changed in some way that that isn't all good (at least in my case).

All in all i'm very happy about the eqo concept, but the problems that have emerged with this new version, has made me think twice before recommending Eqo to anybody.

Now i write this post because i would like to know if i'm the only one that experiences problems with the new version? I don't expect anyone to come up with an answer as to how i can improve the stability of Eqo on my phone (nokia 6300), but i think it is important to let the developers know of the issues that we experience.

Thanks Eqo folks, you're saving me a fortune!

re: EQO 1.5.0 seems highly unstable

Hi,

Thank you for all of your comments. We appreciate the feedback and I too hope that others will share their comments on this new release.

It may be the cause of your current stability problems or it may just be a coincidence, but I noticed looking at your log files that ever since you upgraded to 1.5 your account has used an HTTP internet connection--whereas before the upgrade your account was using a TCP connection. The HTTP connection will be more unstable. Go into your EQO options and select Settings, then select Use TCP connection.

Also, if prompted to select an access point to connect with, make sure that you select a full internet access point.
