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

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.

sweet... i'll try it later

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

Woot, come on official!!

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

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

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...

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

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?

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

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.

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

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

Thank you.

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!

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

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.

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

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

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?

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

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?

is it worth downgrading from .114?

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

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.

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?

I saw somewhere on the internet that there is a leaked OS with a qwerty keyboard in the portrait orientation... anyone know what OS it is?

I believe qwerty came in an earlier OS but i have .109 and it has it. I love .109 and am gonna give .113 a try cause of all the positive comments.

i just installed this and it killed my blackberry

Well this OS is by far the best yet.... I went up from .99 to .113 and it is lightning fast in all areas from the camera, apps to the accelerometer... and best of all... finally the return of stereo BlueTooth for videos...

if download OS beta brings bugs, so it is not worth it and best thing is be patient till they have become official.

Both have worked great for me. Don't get caught up in all the hype ie "lightning fast" come on now. If you have ever used an Iphone you would not be saying that especially with the accelerometer. Both 109 and 113 seem to be pretty reliable and failry quick. One big plus, I gained 5mb of file memory from 40 to 45mb. No big memory drain today and batter seems just as stout as 109.

Well I am going to give this one a try. I did not have much luck with 114. I will have to see how 113 goes. I am downloading now. will let you know how it goes.

I'll probably wait until its officially available OTA

I'll probably wait until its officially available OTA

I am running BBcrackmans .114 hybrid ver. 2. Should i just downgrade to this.113?

Can anyone shed some light on why the iphone accelerometer works so smooth and flawlessly(i think since inception) yet seems to be such a challenge for RIM. I know Steve Jobs is totally anal when it comes to design and performance, but surely the apple people are not that much smarter than RIM's techies, right?? I mean we are talking about the same technology right??? Help me understand!

Can we stop asking the same stupid question now?

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

Okay i dont know why, but after downloading this. It deleted my Browser icon and now my brower internet service is switched to not connected and can't reconnect. Can somebody help me? I even tried restoring my backup but the icon still didn't appear. When I try to do something that leads to browser, it says "Your device does not currently have any Browser Configuration Service Book Entried. Please Contact your service provider to enable Browser on your device" can somebody please help with this issue?

I can't go from .114 to .113 it just says it's putting on the new software but it stops at the bb desktop manager. Can someone please help me.

Lousy, slow and junk... going back to .99.

It took one thing to make me switch back to .109 before I could even test it out. The reduced keyboard is gone. That's a must have, especially when driving.

Just finished my first upgrade. 4.7.0.113 is great! Accelerometer is much quicker, scrolling is smoother, better response time, less lag. Hope the official OS comes out soon though.

...the .113 OS is doing well. I hope it corrects the issues i have with my iBerry themes (oh how I love that theme.)I'm upgrading from .90 and the accelerometer didn't seem that much faster, but is very functional. Seems to be worth the time to upgrade if your current version has issues. No big deal for us who were doing fine as is, but it does seem to be pretty solid on day 1.

I was running .75 until last night, and frankly I had no complaints with it. Everything seemed to work great, but I saw everyone gushing about the .114v2 hybrid and this "new" .113 release.

So - I checked out the threads on backing up apps/settings/contacts, wiping with JL_Cmder, and installing a beta OS.

At first I wasn't sure I'd done it right, and today I had a small problem with the phone sticking in headset mode...but a battery pull and re-setting the headset jack by plugging one in/unplugging repeatedly got it working PERFECTLY.

I'm sold - .113 is a MUCH better experience than .75 ever was. Fast, stable, and totally worth the hassle of upgrading!

I had the same problem.
Simple Fix is to go to Options, then Advanced Options, then Host Routing Table, then press the BB Menu key, then hit "Register Now".
Your browser should now show up after registering.

Regards,

am i the only one shocked at the quantity (not the quality) of new releases for every RIM device?..

i just installed this on my storm and for some reason there was an error and i guess all of the memory was wiped on my storm and i am left with a file that says "loaderbackup", its an "IPD" file, can someone help me out with this please!

1st pose from me on here. And this is my 1st BB. I love the storm. I was runnin .75 then I finally decided to upgrade and c what all the hype is. And truthfully its all smoorhr.. Mayb is just me. But I still love it the same. Its a couple of different perks but nurhin amazing. So to all those who wonderin to wait u won't miss out on nuthin. Sorry for da mis spelle words but I'm rushin at work. Lovin the site

Where do you find the official releases?
Thanks

I'm excited for this, but I will be waiting for the official OTA.

i got the .113 (platform .144) from the official SI Mobile site from BB Slovenia, works perfectly for my 9500 Vodafone in Holland. The only difference is the version branding number, I have 1.0.120.54

When are the official updates coming out. These leaked OS's are getting old.

time will tell if this is the real official OS or not.

Anyone happen to notice that the display looks similar to that of a Storm running 4.7.0.114? Only differences on mine are the version and the branding version(mine reads v. 4.7.0.114 and 1.0.5.246 respectively)

.113 rocks! I know I know, I should have updated sooner to some other version. The *immediate* improvement I see is with the Camera! OMG! I had rendered the camera USELESS. However, with the new OS, my camera is clickin' along just find. No more 4 second delay while holding my breath and not blinking. Great improvement.

I had no issues with the install. Followed the directions in this thread (from link provided) and everything worked well. Thanks!

I just upgraded from 75 and would suggest this to OS to all. Im not sure how much better it is than 114 or any other but from 75 its way better. I do not have any MMS issues( forwarding works fine) all of my apps still work and everything is a little bit faster. Bigges improvements are in the camera and the browser. I can actually load the CB homepage in less than a minute now!!! And i can take a picture of something before my arms get tired of holding the phone up!! def worth the 45 mins of time to upgrade. only complaint is that it resizes any picture taken from the camera and used as the home screen background. My app mem did not increase it stayed the same but batt life is somewhat improved. IF YOUR ON THE FENCE DO IT!!

i love this awesome operating system the only thing i would change is the vertcal qwerty i would make it pop the letter above you finger to make it easier to use

I have had a little birdie tell me that this could be the one they are going prod with. The person is running this one on their device as of a while so I am pretty sure it will be this o.s. release from VZW.

This os is the best YET!!! But now that the software is good i'm having hardware problems does anyone else have a loose screen or clicking problem??? Help!

I actually did it. I upgraded. Easy actually. Thank you.

I have been running the 113 now for almost a full day and it has been solid. I have not had any reboots or freezing. seems fast with switching. i had 109 before this and it was pretty quick to. the install went pretty quick and despite 2 groups i had created in my groups everything is there. now i had to redo the restore after the install because it failed the first time it tried to restore. camera and video work fine as i used them today and they had no problems. email is going like it did before. texting , bb messenger , facebook , and twitter all good. so for me this upgrade has been very nice. hope others have the same result.

...this is the first OS i've installed since .75....seems stable so far...camera is good...all the same blah everybody else is saying. i'd recommend it

I just downgraded from 114 to the new 113. So far I like it. There were too many memory leaks in 114 and if the full keyboard was enabled for portrait mode you could not get back to the dial pad if you were on the phone.

i dont know if anyone else has noticed the same issue with making calls but I have suffered from the following. When a call is made, for example to a store, or to voicemail, you often need to bring the keyboard up to choose an extension or put in a pin. Since I have put this OS on my device, the keyboard that comes up while on a call is the suretype one. This just shows a lettered keyboard and no numbers. you can press letters and hope to get the right number but it is very difficult and annoying. I was wondering if anyone else has had the same issue or not. This is now the second OS that has done this, and it has been on multiple devices for me.

I just upgraded to 113 from 75 and every seems to be improved except for the picture and video quality. The pictures now look like 1 megapixel instead of 3 MP. Has anyone else experience this issue?

I went from .109 to 113. Very nice, extremely quick. I was getting a lot of random reboots on .109 towards the end. I hope this doesn't have the same problem.

The numbers look like this or only difference between the 2

.114 Platform 4.0.0.143 Branding Version 1.0.105.176

.113 Platform 4.0.0.144 Branding Version 1.0.105.46

It seems like it'll make a good Hybrid.

hi, i downloaded this os when it leaked a couple days ago, before it was updated on the site. the version i got looks the same, except under branding version it says 1.0.105.167 instead of .47 as displayed at the begining of this thread. ive also noticed that my memory starts at 33mb, but after about an hour of use im down to 15. so im wondering if i dont have the version everyone else has, although i dont really know what "branding version" means. anyway, as a side question, is there a way to turn off the fading transitions, just seems slow to me.

thanks

mayb i jumped the gun earlier. i been messin wit my Storm all day and it iz alot quicker but then again im comin from .75 so I dnt no how the other os upgrades were. but to anybody wit .75 I wood go head and make da transition to this. it was my 1st time doin a leaked os and it was so easy. i felt like i was a pro. the step by step tutorial on here is great so u can wait 4 an official update if u want. (who no's how long that will b) but good stuff, im enjoyin my storm even more

PING! I love this OS... Went from .75 and I can't complain... Official or not I'm glad I downloaded it... :)

can someone help to make my phone go faster like I have seen guys on youtube and their blackberrys go faster when they flip their phones anyone has any idea ?

Not that bad for beta version. I do find that the battery gets drained, especially in a call. Still install at own risk..

After downloading to phone I noticed IMMEDIATE improvements. No lag between portrait and landscape....browser exceedingly faster, although I still think BOLT's browser may edge it out. Typing is alot smoother, but I did'nt get full qwerty in portrait. Reboot takes almost no time now! Well worth the download!

I know for a fact that the official release is 4.7.0.113. I work for VZW and got it from an IT tech that was testing it for our official release on April 2nd.

This is defenetly the best one so far I had 114 and so far 113 is better I do recommend trying this one but since there is a rumor that verizon is coming out with the official release with in a week idk if ppl should wait but this is way better than any other release....

There seems to be some noticeable improvements with 113 and for the most part it seems to run well for me; however, my phone gets "stuck" in headset mode when making or receiving calls. I can not change this to bluetooth, speakerphone, or handset and thus I can not hear or be heard unless I use a wired headset. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Hi. I just installed this and it works well. Like everyone said, its much quicker. The only problem is I can't send pictures anymore.. not from my cam app, or even when i just start an email. I guess this is the MMS prob people are talking about? How to fix this. its annoying.

The first thing that I noticed was when I went to move my cursor, a little box showed up around the cursor and it was mos def more accurate for me to place my cursor. I'm loving that! Also I just did a reboot and it took almost no time for the phone to restart! Man going from .75 to .109 only 3 days ago and now, .113! This is some good stuff. Idk if I can stand all this excitement! Ahhhhh!

Ok guys this is what you all have been waiting for. This from what i have heard from a very reliable source is going to be the official release to storm for a such said american company. It will be released on April 1st but was given a possible 2 week delay. It has been running in tests with very minimal glitchs just normal stuff that happens with phones. SO expect this to be released by VZW soon.

I have uploaded this update and now I can not send pix messages from the phone. Can someone please help resolve this problem

I have to say i have greatly improved from .103 to .113. This one has the least flaws(probably even none) compared to the others. Typing is better speed is snappy and is an easy download. Highly recommend to people who don't want to get off .75.

I'm a noob. i have my storm on verizon service. I went to the link, downloaded the 4.7.0.113 file, installed it and followed the steps. went through the installation, launched the desktop manager, plugged my storm in, and it didn't automatically search for updates. i manually went to app loader and searched for updates and a message said there was none available. WTF!? i'm still running 4.7.0.75 ! please someone help me!
