I'm currently using it, but I'm getting hard lockups using Yahoo or AIM on .99. Anyone else seeing this?

cwosigns · 02-02-2009, 03:34 PM

I got a Storm a week and a half ago; it came with .75 pre-installed. I upgraded to .99 yesterday and it is working fine without issue. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if a major carrier rolls this out.

-The camera is a lot more responsive with .99 over .75 (.90 was supposedly fast as well, but I didn't try that one).

-QWERTY available in portrait orientation (again available with .90)

-Screen does not light up if pressed when locked (available with .90)

-Green "go" button replaces the "return" button in the browser.

This so far has been a great release for me; makes the phone more usable.

What version of AIM?

The app center only has 2.2.22, but there are newer releases out there.

2.5.27 I believe is the latest for AIM.

I updated to the versions included with .99, although it seems that maybe not all of the modules were loaded. None of the IM clients show up in the Applications list, even though they kinda work. Gonna try removing them and reloading to see what happens. Looks like the included versions are 2.5.27.

edit:

Updated to 2.5.27, still seeing the same behavior. As soon as I open the menu in a conversation, it stops responding to keypresses. I can't even hit esc to close the menu.

edit #2:

Downgraded the IM programs to the version from the application downloader, they seem to work. Screen updates are slow at times, but no lockups yet.

It seems like the quality of most of the OS graphics have been reduced. Specifically the blue gradient when hovering over a home screen icon, you can see the fade lines.

This might be one way the sped up the phone, though that would be a shame.

A stir bar is a small gadget used in labs to stir mixtures. The stir bar is magnetic and is placed on a magnetic plate to activate the stir motion... I was inferring that my 9530 would make a good stir bar... Sorry for being too nerdy...

Ill have to test this out.

Every time I try to install bb resets.....manager says it installs but it still reads previous os in the about. Anybody els having trouble?

Lightmatrix · 02-02-2009, 08:06 PM

Any idea where my browser went in this upgrade (I'm on a Verizon locked)

Lightmatrix · 02-02-2009, 08:13 PM

Ah, battery pull fixed that. Seems the rotation is MUCH faster, the camera seems about the same and I don't notice any keyboards being smaller. Hrm. I like the Go button too.

Once you download it, install it, open up DM, and plug your phone it and it should see the new OS.

What are the OS build numbers I did a lot of searches and couldn't find the new OS anywhere

Did you try a battery pull yet? That fixed mine.

cwosigns · 02-02-2009, 08:59 PM

When locked, I've noticed it takes mine a long time to unlock. One new issue that wasn't there in .75.

Try crackberry.com. That's where I got the link. When you find the link is it on megaupload.com?

Ok. Here is anidea. If you go through the official leak thread on crackberry, I recall someone else also posted a secondary download link in that thread. They ususally do this because once an OS is linked megaupload is crushed with people wanting to download. Try reading through the thread and you should find it. Good luck!

m.genena · 02-02-2009, 11:45 PM

just Google 4.7.0.00 and you will find it there keep searching it is there i just got it, can't get you the link. sorry
