Leaked: BlackBerry Messenger 5.0.1.46

on 8 Feb 2011 11:32 AM

BlackBerry Messenger 5.0.1.46

It's been a while since we've seen an update to BlackBerry Messenger (either leaked or official) but thanks to our own BigBadWulf we have a new version from the Bold 9650 leak of OS 6.0.0.466. This version is only at 5.0.1.46 which isn't much higher than other versions we've seen floating around. No real news on what (if anything) is updated, but be sure to leave a comment with your findings.

Please note: This is an unsupported version of BlackBerry Messenger so be sure you backup your device before installing. It should run fine, but it never hurts to have a backup :-)

Download BBM version 5.0.1.46 OTA from your device

Download successful. Currently rebooting. Will post if there are any updates.

Posted by r0gueleader Tuesday, Feb 08, 2011 471 days ago

BTW, my download was successful on my Torch. Wondering if it's OS 6 only...

Posted by r0gueleader Tuesday, Feb 08, 2011 471 days ago

Looking over BBM 5.0.1.46 now...

Don't appear to be any UI changes or any sort of glaring differences. I'm going to say this leaked version just fixes bugs...

If anyone catches anything I missed, please update!

Posted by beatmix01 Tuesday, Feb 08, 2011 471 days ago

Does this fix the missing cursor issue?

Posted by rizwan-sk Tuesday, Feb 08, 2011 471 days ago

Ok, I can't charge my phone via the USB port now -.-

Posted by shetach Tuesday, Feb 08, 2011 471 days ago

24th

Posted by MatteoTard Tuesday, Feb 08, 2011 471 days ago

I think this is only for OS 6...gonna try soon

Posted by CC_HangGlyder Tuesday, Feb 08, 2011 471 days ago

I believe your'e right its for OS6 - I downloaded onto my Storm and it removed the older BBM (previously installed as Core App) - now the newer BBM is on as Add-on. There's no BBM icon for me to run it. Application menu shows its installed but it's not running in background as before. No way to run it. Now I have to remove and put the older BBM back on.

Posted by MatteoTard Tuesday, Feb 08, 2011 471 days ago

Yeah man sorry about that...and it works on my bold 9700 OS 6 perfectly but i tried it on a bold 9700 OS 5 and it did NOT work..which kinda sucks but oh well lol...theres no difference btw so you arent missing much

Posted by Bold_until_Hybrid_Comes Tuesday, Feb 08, 2011 471 days ago

907 error unable to import zip file. 9000 with os 5

Posted by AcADIeN Tuesday, Feb 08, 2011 471 days ago

it came with 9800 os 6.0.0.450 (when I tried to install it I already had that version on my phone

Posted by r0gueleader Tuesday, Feb 08, 2011 471 days ago

I have 9800 OS 6.0.0.450 on my phone and it had BBM 5.0.1.45, not .46

Posted by Bigbusa1 Tuesday, Feb 08, 2011 471 days ago

dl right now on the torch will post back ina bit

Posted by pilot-leo Tuesday, Feb 08, 2011 471 days ago

Just finished installing it on my Bold 9780...I believe this is for OS 6 devices only, but I'm not too sure!

regarding the differences, I haven't notice anything as yet, & THE CURSOR ISSUE IS STILL THERE!!!! which sucks big time!!! :@

can anyone remember which is the last 5.0.1.xx version of bbm where the cursor was not an issue??

Posted by stead_bold Tuesday, Feb 08, 2011 471 days ago

Well I have 5.0.1.41 on my Bold 9780 its the one that came installed on here from T-Mobile & the cursor issue is fixed. Haven't had a problem yet!

Posted by stead_bold Tuesday, Feb 08, 2011 471 days ago

Thanks pilot-leo! I was just about to install right when you told me the cursor issue is still there. I don't know how RIM cannot fix that issue, which is very aggravating to users. Guess I won't be downloading this leak!

Posted by pilot-leo Tuesday, Feb 08, 2011 471 days ago

yeaa!! they make me hate them at times...& regarding this download, i won't advise it!

IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE!!!

gonna try & source version 5.0.1.41

thx! :)

Posted by pilot-leo Tuesday, Feb 08, 2011 471 days ago

Just reloaded bbm version 5.0.1.41 & i'm still having the cursor issue! :s

Posted by JACKCITY08401 Tuesday, Feb 08, 2011 471 days ago

Will this new messeger also come with new symbols. .. ?

Posted by srandazzo01 Tuesday, Feb 08, 2011 471 days ago

Downloaded it and nothing looks different. The cursor is still missing and no new symbols. It probably fixed some bugs, but I haven't seen anything different yet.

Posted by bladerunner6821 Tuesday, Feb 08, 2011 471 days ago

this is working so smooth on my 9780 from T-mobile. what? all is well

Posted by StaticFX Tuesday, Feb 08, 2011 471 days ago

strange.. didnt anyone else get the 5.1.0.41 last week? I got it right from rim on my S2. Just curious cause the article says there hasnt been one in a while.....

Posted by MatteoTard Tuesday, Feb 08, 2011 471 days ago

So It work on my bold 9700 OS 6. I tried it on the OS 5 bold 9700 and it did NOT! work so It's only for OS 6 people and the Cursor problem is still there and it looks the same as every other bbm so people you aren't missing much at all

Posted by jmercier34 Tuesday, Feb 08, 2011 471 days ago

I downloaded this for my bold 9650 running 6.0.0.466 and for some reason when it rebooted i got a error, and now my sms icon is nowhere to be found? Everything also seems to be running pretty weird. Does anyone have a fix for this??

Posted by mustangboy88 Tuesday, Feb 08, 2011 471 days ago

go to 9650 thread in the forums and jump over to the unnoffial OS release thread. There is a fix for that issue there. Good Luck

Posted by G.4 Tuesday, Feb 08, 2011 471 days ago

Download was fine, except it took a reallyyyyy long time (like 30 min.) Can't seem to find any differences at all from last build - I'm running official OS 6.0.0.431 on my Sprint 9650. ALSO, my main complaint about BBM has been the same since last September when I loaded the first leaked OS 6 version (that's when it started): It's really jumpy and buggy on the first screen that shows chats and contacts. If I don't have any open chats it seems to be nice and smooth and responsive. As soon as I get a couple of chats going, the whole thing gets stupid. Anyone know why this is???

Posted by garifer Tuesday, Feb 08, 2011 471 days ago

What is this cursor issue that everyone keeps talking about? I have a 9800 running OS 6.0.0.450 with BBM 5.0.1.45 and I have what I consider a cursor in BBM. It's a smal blue box that shows me where I am in the text.

Posted by njbourne23 Tuesday, Feb 08, 2011 471 days ago

I have repeating messages, does anyone else seem to have that issue also?

NJB

PS- I'd def like to see some added smiley faces or even animated smiley faces! now make it happen RIM ha ha

Posted by doubleaa25 Wednesday, Feb 09, 2011 471 days ago

1. Only works on OS6, so OS5, don't even attempt to install this leak.

2. I have not seen any major improvements with this leak. Most likely only bug fixes. The cursor bug has NOT been fixed for leaked OS.

3. For people who are saying they do not have cursor bug, this is because it is a Leaked OS bug. People who are using official OS 6 have been reporting that the cursor bug is non-existent on their BBs.

Posted by pruygje Wednesday, Feb 09, 2011 471 days ago

Funny, I tried to download, and my device says I have 5.0.1.46 allready... :-) I'm running 6.0.0.450 on my 9800.

Posted by Rootbrian Wednesday, Feb 09, 2011 471 days ago

It's probably a bug fix. once 5.0.2.xx comes, it'll be different, or 5.2.x.xx.

Posted by MarkInTombstone Wednesday, Feb 09, 2011 470 days ago

Won't let me. #fail

Posted by RazrRob Wednesday, Feb 09, 2011 470 days ago

Just downloaded to a 9700 running OS6 (6.0.0.448) in less than 2 minutes. I was running version 5.0.1.45. Rebooting now - seems to be ok no noticeable problems

Posted by irocroe Wednesday, Feb 09, 2011 470 days ago

I downloaded it and there is no difference.

Posted by owen_xgy Friday, Feb 11, 2011 468 days ago
