Just installed this and it went flawless. Also fixed the overlapping text problem I used to observe with first result in google search. Just hope it improves my battery life but u never know

I just press that button twice instead of that one to get the menu and then either the track ball or the enter key.

I just noticed this. I never would have noticed without your post, though.

Great, thanks

Been running .247 for about 24hrs, and it seems fine. All 3rd party apps working well, no negatives so far.

Looks like if you have BBM settings to show that you are on the phone, after you hang up it doesn't change back.

Seems to me the WiFi code has gone downhill. Last good code for my WiFi was 219. Been running dd-wrt 24-sp1 for over 6 months and never had an issue. With .247, I can't even connect with no security. :(

Wifi seems to be good on my end.

WiFi works quite well on this build. I've gone through quite a few of the beta OS builds ... in the past week I've gone from .234 to .241 and today up to .247. I skipped .244 and .245 after reading about some of the issues.

We'll see how this one goes ... seems like the most free memory after battery pull I've had in a while at 53MB. Good start.

What am I missing? The second push of the bb button brings up the options to move, move to folder, hide or add folder.

A new feature of .247 is that if you push and hold the bb button it brings up the taskman.

nice find

WorldIRC · 03-08-2009, 08:53 PM

^Yup..great feature. Basically puts QuickLauncher out of business unfortunately...Storm has this feature too

PapiPabs · 03-09-2009, 02:11 AM

Pretty stable so far. Wi-Fi is working great. Battery life has been good. There don't seem to be any huge changes over .237 outside of the menu button shortcuts mentioned above though.

conker · 03-09-2009, 05:09 AM

The browser is noticeably faster for me (previously on .237)
and as others have mentioned - the thumbnails also show up MUCH faster.

is this the same thing as holding the ALT key + the back arrow key? Appears the Quick Launch third party app does not more than this? Correct me if I'm wrong because I don't have Quick Launch and was thinking of buying it though.

I have been told that .237 is a really good OS, I would stick with it until further notice.

alright, i'm gonna hang on to .237 for a bit

thanks a ton

northstahr · 03-09-2009, 12:06 PM

I guess I'll dive in and download...

audit · 03-09-2009, 12:42 PM

24 hr's of running it, lost 5MB's of memory and now it's stable, battery life is solid as .237, pictures load faster then any other OS I've tried, WiFi connects the same as .237, Haven't tested the 3G dropped calls yet going to GRPS either because that normally happens on the conference calls on the way home from work.
