Very unstable chat connectivity after PR 1.3 update. How do I downgrade?
 

Since I flashed the PR 1.3 update, the battery life of my N900 has improved, but the #1 reason I bought the phone - to use it for chat is messed up. The connectivity is beyond awful and I can disconnect a few times in a minute. Since this is the most important feature to me in this phone, can any of you tell me how to fix this, or if it's un-fixable, how do I downgrade to the previous update when I didn't have this problem?

Thanks so much.

If you want to downgrade, just re-flash it.

How far can you downgrade bcuz I swore it was impossible to do so

Downgrading is a much less drastic response than figuring out if there is some simple reason you have connectivity issues!

I don't have chat connectivity issues, by the way. I was seeing a yahoo im issue this week, but I think that was Yahoo's fault and not the N900's fault. Google, facebook, skype, etc, work fine for me.

being able to downgrade is the best feature of pr1.3!

It's not impossible with the N900, it's terribly easy to be honest - at least it is once you've done it a couple of times.

The same is not true about Symbian and many others which is probably what you heard.

I believe PR 1.2 had a change in the modem stack so while you can downgrade all the way to the first public release, you wont have cellular features if you go below 1.2 - though technically you can correct this by flashing the modem stack from 1.2 over 1.1.1 firmware

Since I have no way of figuring out what's the problem with my chat (I use gtalk), I have no choice but to downgrade, despite the better battery performance. Does anyone have a guide about how to do that, please? I'm not techy and could use some direction.

Thanks!
