OS 4.7.0.113 for the BlackBerry Storm 9530

I'm a little slow in getting this post up Storm owners... sorry about that.. but 4.7.0.113 for the 9530 has already seen tons of action in the CrackBerry Storm forums since it leaked out last night. There's some real controversy around this one too. Could this be going official? Is it actually a hybrid? Push come to shove the feedback for the most part has been pretty positive on it so far (better than .114 though it's older?!). I'm going to give it an install right now finally - I actually just came back from a Telus store where I picked up a brand new 9530. I couldn't help but cringe when I saw that it's still shipping with 4.7.0.76. COME ON... let's see some official updates for the masses here already!

* Keep in mind this is NOT an official release, so install at your own risk and only if you're comfortable with doing so. If you've never installed an OS beta before be sure to dive into the CrackBerry forums and read all of our tutorials and learn the ins and outs of beta releases. Keep in mind that these leaked OS's sometimes take a step backwards in one area while making a leap forward in another. If you're on the fence, there's lots of findings and feed back in the forums already on this one. Follow the links below. *

its better than .75, but not anything to write home about... it does have its bugs too

The Journey > .65 > .75 > .85 >.86 > .99 > .103 > .109 > .113

This is definitely the best OS so far. Not a huge difference from .109. It is more stable, faster, snappier. Overall a very good piece of kit.

If the phone was released with this OS they would have hailed the Storm as the smartest smartphone.

I WANT TO SEE IT ON YOUTUBE
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE POST A VIDEO OF .113 IN ACTION THE JURY IS STILL OUT!!!!!!!!

Posted by Mordecaidrake Tuesday, Mar 24, 2009 1051 days ago

I'm still sporting 4.7.0.76 desperatly craving a new update. How are these .113 and .114 so far? I called Verizon asking if they knew anything about and the rep I was speaking too said they hadn't received anything from RIM yet, but he downloaded it from crackberry lawl.

Posted by TuRtZiLLa Tuesday, Mar 24, 2009 1051 days ago

sweet... i'll try it later

Posted by njdevils1986 Tuesday, Mar 24, 2009 1051 days ago

Excellent OS! Aside from mms forwarding issue, it is the most stable OS and everything just snaps! Very fast!

Posted by SamVJr Wednesday, Mar 25, 2009 1050 days ago

Definitely seems like the best one so far, but what is up with the MMS? How is it that through all these updates they seem to have broken MMS forwarding with the first update, and still haven’t fixed it? I don’t see the point in them even messing with it to begin with when nothing was wrong with it.

Woot, come on official!!

Posted by Rodsky11 Tuesday, Mar 24, 2009 1051 days ago

Kevin why did you have to get a new Storm? Screen dust? Click problem? Smashed it out of frustration?

Posted by Kevin Michaluk Tuesday, Mar 24, 2009 1051 days ago

Now that everybody's got a Storm I felt like I needed two... one for each hand :)

Posted by BlckBrryMD Tuesday, Mar 24, 2009 1051 days ago

So does it work like it should, is it really worth the update?

Posted by Blue Storm Tuesday, Mar 24, 2009 1051 days ago

is this better than the v4.7.0.114? the platform is higher in numbers but I am confused as to why this is being posted...

Posted by Stromson Tuesday, Mar 24, 2009 1051 days ago

The higher platform is more important than the version number at this stage. They've modified the platform a bit, and its running much smoother (for me at least) than .114 on the old platform ever did.

i have this o.s on my 9500 and i found a weird aplication on advance option-aplications-blackberry aplication center.

somebody knows something about this blackberry aplication center because i cant find nothing on the menu or hide icon

Posted by Brian.Tufo Tuesday, Mar 24, 2009 1051 days ago

i would recommend installing it. it is running just as good if not better then the .114 Hybrid i was previously using.

Posted by urbanjeff Tuesday, Mar 24, 2009 1051 days ago

When does the madness stop!!!
Im still running that old ass version (.75)and jonesing for a legit update.

I guess my question is how reliable are the beta updates?

Posted by BlckBrryMD Tuesday, Mar 24, 2009 1051 days ago

I don't mind updating, but sometimes its just not worth it, plus I have to get my BES connection reset ;)

Posted by l...h Tuesday, Mar 24, 2009 1051 days ago

First post. Awesome site. I felt compelled to comment on this. I got the storm on launch date from BestBuy. Still running .75. I don't have the time to beta test all of RIM's BS's (I mean OS's). Glad y'all do, though. I will upgrade OS when it's official.

Posted by pipotobe Tuesday, Mar 24, 2009 1051 days ago

I went from .76 to .109 to .113 and this is very stable. I'm not ashamed of my storm anymore!

Posted by arundc Tuesday, Mar 24, 2009 1051 days ago

install a BETA OS.....until it's official from Verizon.

Thank you.

Posted by citi Tuesday, Mar 24, 2009 1051 days ago

It's just because you are used to it. Move to one of the higher OSs and you will wonder how you even used 75. It's really that unusable. Like going from a cable modem to 44k modem.

Posted by arundc Wednesday, Mar 25, 2009 1050 days ago

the key word is stable. I am happy for what it is (.75). I have been following the BETA OS threads thoroughly and each user's feedback on a BETA OS seems a bit different. There's practically a new BETA or hybrid every other week?! You loose a function here and there for the benefit of it being a little quicker. All the Apps on my phone work perfectly for what I use it for; SMS, MMS, camera, video, facebook, browser, etc.

This is my only phone (no landline) so I count on it 100% and can't risk it being buggy and neither do I have the time to "play" with the BETAs.

I can wait until Verizon releases an official upgrade.

Posted by pipotobe Wednesday, Mar 25, 2009 1050 days ago

lol, I hope you can read properly through all these post.

Posted by moucon Monday, Mar 30, 2009 1046 days ago

Ok you're not going to install a beta - so???.
WE COULD *NOT* CARE LESS WHAT YOU DO OR DON'T DO. Why would you waste everyone's time with a moronic post like that? This board if for feedback from people WHO HAVE installed the beta.

PS Dude or Dudette... you might be waiting forever so have fun struggling along with .75 . Word on the street is that Verizon is dropping the Storm and there isn't going to be an update. They're 3 months late and counting so I'm not discounting that rumor -it might be the case. That's how they operate.

Posted by dfogelstrom Tuesday, Mar 24, 2009 1051 days ago

Im running .114 hybrid V2. i dont know if it would be worth installing the .113 if my V2 is running awesome. Im looking for something better. Sombody please help...is it worth it? downgrade just to upgrade? i dont know! As of now there is NO bugs!

Posted by AMPBERRY Tuesday, Mar 24, 2009 1051 days ago

hey im still rockin the .75 version and ready to upgrade. i was just wondering what you thinks the best version so far?
also when upgrading will it earase all my contacts and pictures?
thanks a lot for the help

Posted by AMPBERRY Tuesday, Mar 24, 2009 1051 days ago

Posted by dfogelstrom Wednesday, Mar 25, 2009 1050 days ago

Newbie, just check out the .114 Hybrid V2. it is excellent. Or you can check out the newer .113. They both work well, with no bugs. As far as things being erased, back up your phone with the desktop software and you should be fine. When you install a new OS it dosent delete your contacts. I would go for it! best of luck

Posted by crackberryhead11358 Tuesday, Mar 24, 2009 1051 days ago

does it solve the EDGE/edge issue for us unlocked storm users ?

Posted by Hairbear1954 Tuesday, Mar 24, 2009 1051 days ago

After all these betas and none of them seem to fix the EDGE/edge issue, I doubt we are going to see much change. But we can only hope!

Posted by mrich70 Tuesday, Mar 24, 2009 1051 days ago

What is the "Edge/edge" issue??

Posted by sr_erick Tuesday, Mar 24, 2009 1051 days ago

Been running .109 since it was leaked and have had no issues with it besides the MMS thing (which can be fixed, just haven't cared to do it). Very stable, though it does consume some memory. I may update to this version if time allows.

Posted by cbombaz Tuesday, Mar 24, 2009 1051 days ago

Definilty the best OS I've had yet. I've had the .113, .114 and BBCrackman's .114.v.1. If this is going to be official I'll stick with my .114.v.2

Posted by dfogelstrom Wednesday, Mar 25, 2009 1050 days ago

Hey i have NO problem with the Hybrid V2 either! Its probably the best OS yet. Thanks for boosting my confidence!

Posted by jjbrowne72 Tuesday, Mar 24, 2009 1051 days ago

Think the latest .113 os is awesome. No memory leaks and very fast. I've had .109 since day one and thought that IT was an improvement. Some minor tweaks here and there by RIM; and there is no doubt this could be an official

Posted by archpopoy Tuesday, Mar 24, 2009 1051 days ago

I've been running .109 since it was leaked too and have had no problems whatsoever that's why I'm a bit hesitant to upgrade...

Posted by janglesjr Tuesday, Mar 24, 2009 1051 days ago

Downloaded from one of the sites, installed and this is the version it gave me: "v4.7.0.90" - what the hell? I thought this was supposed to be .113? Did I just get unlucky or is anyone else experiencing this?

Posted by BlackBaller Tuesday, Mar 24, 2009 1051 days ago

You're not unlucky, you're just an idiot.

Posted by shaneatlanta Tuesday, Mar 24, 2009 1051 days ago

ah how fast you forget you we're an idiot at one time in Blackberry 101. Sadly you never moved past Prick Asshole 101! You will always be bitter from the cool kids beating the shit out of you during phys ed class!

Pay this guy no attention there are plenty of people in here who know what it's like to be a newbie and willing to help. Oddly that is why this forum is here? LOL Geez

Posted by steve7602 Tuesday, Mar 24, 2009 1051 days ago

this new .113 os is amazing my storm is so fast now its smoking there is not one problem with it. best think i have doen for my storm is get this new os

Posted by donaldo13 Tuesday, Mar 24, 2009 1051 days ago

i think is about time i try another leaked os..last one i try .83 was ok execpt i had batery promblems,it would drain quickly..has anybody had this problem with the .113? is it stable?

Posted by snowboardsports Tuesday, Mar 24, 2009 1051 days ago

is it worth downgrading from .114?

Posted by sk817 Tuesday, Mar 24, 2009 1051 days ago

yes its a lot more stable!

Posted by evcandy83 Tuesday, Mar 24, 2009 1051 days ago

ill give it a shot. if i dont like it i can always go back to .109

Posted by minicoop69 Tuesday, Mar 24, 2009 1051 days ago

This is probably the best os I have used. Tons better than
the .114 and there are no problems with how the battery
lasts. Themes are so quick and the accelerometer is
lightning quick, there is no lag. Have not had to do any
battery pulls or anything, GREAT OS.

Posted by Jai Manny Tuesday, Mar 24, 2009 1051 days ago

I have the .114 hybrid installed. Its been great. and from reading the post, it would appears that .113 is a great OS as well.
So should I uninstall the .114 hybrid version or should I install the .113?
