This is my 3rd or 4th OS update across multiple devices, all have worked fine. I downloaded and installed .131, deleted vendor.xml, wiped the device using JL_CMdr, then ran AppLoader. So far, so good. Resent Service Books, Re-Registered on BES. Did a battery pull. Everything seems to be working right. Two small things - First, when I try to go to "Options, About" to see the version info, I get nothing - it will not go to that screen. Second, I used to have a different colored border around email for BIS v BES, now they are both light blue. Anybody else seen this?

By the way, my speakerphone blast is gone, and I have no other issues.

MasterLu · 01-29-2009, 05:10 PM

I have installed it. Haven't had it long enoigh to report, but no problems on the install. I did notice that I had to run the exe twice. Once to remove the existing one then again to install .131.

I have been running this just since last night. I did alot of internet usage and ran what little apps I have installed. The only issue I have had was the frist time I went to use the camera, the phone locked up completely. I did a battery pull and since have had no problems. I'll test battery life today. So far tho, this OS seems alot faster in loading apps, and retrieving web pages.

Anyone on VZW having these issues with 131?

VZ Nav launches by itself

GPS flaky in BBMaps

GPS Does not work with 9-1-1 calls (I know this because I am a 9-1-1 admin and make test calls with each OS I try)

Other than this, it is good.

I do not have VZW Nav. I have tested the GPS w/BBmaps and so far it has been spot on. I tried it in three or four different locations. I haven't had to make a 9-1-1 call (thank goodness) so I can't say about that either.

Options->About will not work if you did not install voice dialing (it has been this way on all 4.5 releases). To get OS info, you can do alt-shift-h (Help Me) from the home screen.

MMS will be pushed by the carrier not come with an OS especially not a beta one

SteveO86 · 01-31-2009, 05:37 PM

Any change in call quality? (I'll probably be installing this tomorrow morning.)

Joe1004 · 01-31-2009, 09:29 PM

I think I am going to downgrade... First time ever I have been unhappy with a beta.

It is solid, don't get me wrong, but the GPS is flaky now. I have never had this before. VZ Navigator and BBMaps fix briefly then fail. VZ Navigator relaunches on it's own.

There is a lot of good in this, but I use the GPS a lot and if I can't figure out why it is flaky, I need to go backwards.

SteveO86 · 02-01-2009, 12:23 PM

Installed it about 45 minutes ago, just as responsive at .119 still got 45 MB of file free!

My BBMaps GPS worked right off the battery sitting inside my house none the less.

But I'll keep messing with this and post back.

I haven't given up. I have uninstalled and reinstalled VZ Nav twice. Suddenly it seems to be working ok. Probably 10 battery pulls, etc in the interim. BBmaps is ok to, although it does frequently say "searching for satellites" but comes right back and it had done that for me ever since the first release that enabled GPS. I will keep playing with it.

cjprico · 02-01-2009, 10:01 PM

So far no speaker blast, Speaker does seems a lil lower on volume on .119 and .131 than the early OS, Videos do play better, on the .119 i had tried to play youtube videos and i had problems now with.131 works good. so Far so Good> But i still say it bugs me that the Speaker volume seems lower even when i play my movies .but what can you do

jeffmik · 02-01-2009, 10:54 PM

The only problem I have encountered is in the browser. I cannot change the homepage away from the mobile.blackberry.com default and I cannot change the emulation to be not Blackberry (no drop down menu) - but the browser works fine.

SteveO86 · 02-02-2009, 07:51 AM

I can still change my Browser emulation, wierd.

I still have the issue where if I playing music or have a song paused with do the opposite when I holster it. (Ie. If I pause a song I holster it and it will start playing, or if I have a song playing and holster it the music will pause, have had that since .97, anyone else notice that?)

usblues1965 · 02-02-2009, 09:49 AM

I'm having an issue with battery life. I took my phone off the charger at 6 am this morning. I have used it very little so far today. Just some pushed e-mails and SMS messages. I am at 80% on the battery. By the end of the work day at 5pm I will be below 50%. I'm going to pull all the apps off my device and start with just a bare bones OS and see if I still have the problem. If I don't then I guess I will load them back one at a time and see if that is where the problem is.

I am also having a problem with very flaky GPS. I am actually using Sprint 8330 and it will find satellites in Telenav or Blackberry Maps. For some reason Google maps finds satellites and current location without a problem.

4.5.0.131 for 8330
