Legalize gay marraige!

As much as I agree with you (and I'm heterosexual, by the way), this isn't exactly a political forum. I was looking for a way to report this comment as inappropriate but couldn't find one. So I thought I'd reply instead.

"you can't get no kids" Hey there bud.....why didn't God teach you proper grammer?

Oh.. .and on a side note....you should read the bible, maybe you can learn something ;)

Silly hedero, God is for GAYS!!!!

Why. Get your own thing for this unique perversion - marraige is more value driven, you might even say it's "spiritual".

How can you and why would you want to be defined by what you do inyour bedroom? Try thinking it through!!!!

i just installed 132 and am loving it so far. i shall do the usual and wait for the pros and cons before installing this one.

I've been checking all day for this to post. I love how the CrackBerry Nation is very timely with the leaked OS's. Thanks!

 
 
Posted by bpandkp Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1121 days ago

Was just reading the forums for the hybrid version so I could put it on my 9530, come back to the main page and BAM here the leaked version for the 9530, and on the heels of 132. Let the downloading begin. Already a late night and it's gonna get later. Post results as soon as I have them.

BGR is reporting that this is the next official Verizon release, according to their "ninja". Hope it is! This wait is getting balls!

i wonder if the lock function is jacked on this version like the 9500

 
 
Posted by yankeeskik Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1121 days ago

finally figured out why OS .122 and .132 wasn't loading and now .141 @ 1AM?! this better be worth only getting 3 hrs of sleep for....

 
 
Posted by yankeeskik Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1121 days ago

anyone have it up and running yet?

 
 
Posted by Rizzy09 Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

Wheres the Official? Verizon !!!!! you got alot of explaining to do...im here thinking an Official still running on .75..imma be patient maybe this weekend an official will be out...

 
 
Posted by apologetickid Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

Don't hold your breath.

 
 
Posted by aedom Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

Don't even wait trust me, I've waited also until I saw the .132 update and then couldn't resist that I'm so far behind and still using the .75, and when I did upgrade I regret not doing it earlier, it's definitely worth it in my opinion. I wasn't disappointed at all.

I don't know, I really want to download the new update but I'm loving this .132, but I'll wait and hear some comments on this update.

 
 
Posted by piggly009 Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

I'm so close to snapping and downloading a leaked OS. But i herd that this is gonna be the official vzw upgrade so i think I'll give it another week.

 
 
Posted by JsnE24 Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

No sleep tonight, will post my findings. Thanks for the leak!

 
 
Posted by yankeeskik Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

all loaded up...lets see what this can do...

i just now finished installing .132 after spending all day on it since i was having trouble then this pops up!!! wowo im downloading right now and i be installing fresh in the morning ! hope to see some responses from peeps to see whats new!!!

When the heck are we going to get an official update?!

 
 
Posted by paulmac Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

And I am Sooooooooooooooooo sick of people asking for an official update. It does not matter if the update is from RIM or Verizon, its all good.

 
 
Posted by shaydakiss23 Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

Yea, go take a look at the "Findings" thread for this leaked OS (and read all the issues ppl are having with it!) and stop flaming ppl for being skeptical of downloading leaks. Word of advice...its not always "all good."

If ppl wanna wait and complain, they have that right, just like you have the right to hop on every leak that comes out...NEITHER side has much patience if you wanna be completely honest.

 
 
Posted by rh224 Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

No, it absolutely DOES matter if it's official or leaked. For one thing, though I admit your mileage may vary, you may not be able to have your Storm serviced if you are running anything but the official firmware. Technically, you are either breaching or outright voiding your warranty when you install a leaked OS. So, no, it definitely does matter for the reason I explained and dozens more and people are right to complain about an ongoing five-month gap in official OSes.

 
 
Posted by kthhrrsn Saturday, May 02, 2009 1118 days ago

I replace my BlackBerry every 6 months or so anyway, so I don't care about the warranty. I'm very hard on devices...definitely an abuser! If something happens which will require me to take the phone in for service, I'll downgrade the OS to the official version before calling or appearing in the store. These unofficial versions are leaked for a reason. Both RIM and Verizon need real life feedback & use cases. We're basically acting as beta testers for them. If that's not your thing, and I'm fine if it's not, then steer clear of the leaked OS posts and let the rest of us guinea pigs do our jobs! :-)

hopefully it works great keep em coming crackberry!!!!!!!!

 
 
Posted by yankeeskik Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

so far so good...camera is much better, texting seems easier, and it seems to be holding my current theme a lot better than .114.

 
 
Posted by jonathon_flores Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

you ppl that are still waiting for an "official" update! quit being weenies! just do it...its not that difficult..its alot better than complaing.

and how many ppl are going to post comments say theyr GOING to do it and get back with the results!?...just do it and post the results...

im downloading now. whats the worst that could happen?? a warranty void? hahaha

 
 
Posted by fillies Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

i would update but im a mac user. still running .75 and i have no hope in verizon releasing this build or any other any time soon. I gave up on them a long time ago. on another note, a guy at the bar yesterday told me that I can be a millionaire by age 26 if I can stay sober long enough...I ordered another drink...

 
 
Posted by tool212 Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

i had 113 and liked it had some bugs but pretty solid for me.
then i tried 132 and i thought my internet slowed and where app froze upon loading and would not go back to portrait mode for a while so far this is the best but lets give it a day and see if i still feel the same.

 
 
Posted by jonathon_flores Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

dude i have a mac as well but i have use a program called VMware Fusion and it lets me run a "virtual machine" of windows on my mac...its sooo worth it.you get the best of both worlds. you should definitely look into.

youre running .75!! im sure youre irritated with the phone.

 
 
Posted by fillies Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

nice thanks man ill check it out now and update asap. thanks for the tip

 
 
Posted by jsbrownstudio Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

Or you can try Parallels Desktop 4.0. That's what I use on my Mac, to get better of both worlds, hehe....

 
 
Posted by PhatAzianMan Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

Do you guys think that Verizon has been holding out on the official release because they're trying to release the next update as version 5.0?!?

 
 
Posted by jonathon_flores Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

so tell me why in the middle of the update it stops and says "fatal error occured.please try again"!?

wtf!? ive never had this problem before!!!

 
 
Posted by shaydakiss23 Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

I guess thats the "worst that could happen" Mr. I Wish Everyone Would Stop Being Weenies. This leaked OS has given many ppl issues...so get off the backs of ppl who wanna wait for an official. APPARENTLY it's not a crazy idea! You should know.

Foot in the mouth...

 
 
Posted by code007 Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

This is probably the most snappiest version I've ever used. 113 was good, 122 was better, 131 was eh OK, but 141 definitely one of a kind.

Noticed my web browser loads pages much faster
Accessing multimedia and music is very snappy and plays immediately.
Quicker menus
Event typing I feel is less laggy

The lock issue doesn't bother me since I use PatternLock.

 
 
Posted by xmemolissax Sunday, May 03, 2009 1117 days ago

hey what about mms forwarding. Did that get fixed?

 
 
Posted by jon boy Tuesday, May 05, 2009 1115 days ago

that was fixed with update .132

 
 
Posted by jonathon_flores Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

so the browser is soooo much faster...(oh yeah i fixed my phone)
but question.. im on 1XEV...and with Verizon being the "largest 3G network" has anyone ever had 3G on their storm or any vzw phone?? just curious...

cant really tell a major difference from .132 being that it was also pretty fast.
camera still seems to lag.

you think they'd make the keybaord a bit smarter and have some bigger buttons with all these leaks...

overall..great

 
 
Posted by ddarvish Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

there is about a MILLION threads that you will NEVER see 3G on your phone when your on Verizon because 3G is the symbol on a GSM network and 1XEV on a CDMA network. they are both 3rd-generation (3G) technologies!

 
 
Posted by paulmac Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

1XEV I Believe is 3G.

 
 
Posted by slnaz Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

ok, evdo is 3g for verizon so if your phone says 1XEV (which it always should) then you are on a 3g network.

 
 
Posted by kthhrrsn Saturday, May 02, 2009 1118 days ago

Posted by Ken_Stan Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

just updated. all is good so far seems smoother. im comming off the .132!
also my branding version is different from whats posted in the pic above. does this matter?

Branding Version: 1.0.105.116

 
 
Posted by jonathon_flores Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

my branding version is 1.0.105.188 which is also different from the screenshot posted

i notice that this "issue" comes up alot and quite honestly i dont think it really matters but again thats me thinking...

Posted by flyersfan76 Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

I did the .132 Update and my Seidio cradle stopped working. Anyone notice that on the this one or any older versions.

 
 
Posted by johnpa2006 Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

For your cradle to stop working would mean its damaged physically, or your phone is not able to charge through its micro-usb port. The phones OS version has no bearing on how its charged. Reinsert your battery and try putting it on the charger again. The phone only see that Seidio as just another
charger.

Hope everything works.
Thanks, have fun.

 
 
Posted by nate7761 Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

just update from .132...i didn't have any complaints with 132 but this one seems just as smooth and haven't noticed any problems at all. my facebook app had not been working on my last couple of upgrades but this one seems to be working just fine. camera is also working flawlessly and pretty fast. one drawback is that i did contract the swine flu from this latest build, it was worth it though! :)

 
 
Posted by terryrock Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

I installed .141 works great I find it better then .132 restart time is way better and quick

 
 
Posted by Linsey Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

Is anyone else noticing this? The reboot time is my biggest complaint about my phone and I'm at work, so I can't wait to get home to start this!

 
 
Posted by smokedog03 Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

I went from .75 to .132 and was amazed at the improvement and mad I waited so long to try a leaked OS. I find the .141 is slower then the .132. When I switch to landscape/portrait there is a noticeable lag. Anyone else have that problem? Considering going back to the .132.

 
 
Posted by n.napoleon Friday, May 01, 2009 1119 days ago

A battery pull should resolve this issue. I orginally noticed a lag with even the .132 and once I did that it fixed the problem. Hope this helps you as well!

Posted by xz06deuce Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

After talking to Verizon on Tuesday and them saying that they are looking to release something official sometime this weekend, it's good to see .141

They also said that every time they delay, they add something else(not sure how true this is, but something to look forward to).

 
 
Posted by xz06deuce Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

...oh yeah, and i'm still downloading the beta!

 
 
Posted by rapsball4 Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

Just got the official Telus release on yesterday (I'm on Telus), and reviews seem to be mixed for this one early in the forum. Think I'm just going to stay official from now on since I've got a reliable one, unless some amazing new feature is added.

 
 
Posted by gsxr600wheelin Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

DIDNT NOTICE MUCH DIFFRENCE BETWEEN .132. AND 141! EXCEPT MAYBE CAMERA LITTLE FASTER AND TEXTING IS EASIER! HAVENT FOUND ANYTHING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT YET LIKE ALWAYS THERE IS SOMETHING THAT IS NOT FLAWLESS BUT OWELL!!

Upgraded to .141 and all of my apps work just as before. Going from landscape to portrait seems to lag a bit but I wonder if it might be theme orientated. Everything else seems to be a bit faster. :-) Lovin ya Crackberry!!

I just installed 141 and I do not see any noticeable differences between 141 and 113.

 
 
Posted by exmeaguy Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

Oops, I forgot to mention that my app memory went from 28meg to 39meg, so this is a big win. I recommend to others for this alone.

 
 
Posted by DixieNormous Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

I just grew som balls upgraded from .75 since it seems like Verizon will never support the Storm. I feel like I have a new phone! It is so much more responsive and faster. Even the web seems faster!

 
 
Posted by Stefan Slattery Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

I am still running .75 in fear of screwing up my phone..umm would you say that your phone is safely running this new update? i really dont want to screw up my phone so any feedback could be really helpful..

 
 
Posted by DixieNormous Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

Actually I had no problems with the install and update. It is well worth it even though it is not official. The only thing that I have had a glitch with is when you lock it, any of the front keys will unlock it, but this is no big deal. I would say go for it. I was just as hesitant but it will be worth it!

 
 
Posted by Dankees Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

In the beginning, I found the transition from menu to menu was a little more sluggish than with .132...

Now, I think it's about the same.

Anyone else notice this?

The browser speed may be a bit quicker.

 
 
Posted by Blueberry-Storm Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

Well its been on my original first release storm for a few and it seems to respond quicker. apps open nicely. last 2 updates my calendar has not reloaded but i fix that with google sync. will let you know more as time goes by. just wondering if anyone else is also still using a original release storm.

 
 
Posted by infinitig35 Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

How does Google sync fix the calendar issue?

 
 
Posted by Blueberry-Storm Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

I only use it as a back up but google has a free sync program that will sync your calendar and you contacts with your berry. It seems to do a good job of it.

 
 
Posted by jonathon_flores Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

I installed early this morning and after a few horus of usage the transtion from portrait to landscape has a noticeable lag but the browser seems to be soo much faster..im debating on going back to .132

also..is anyone having issues with their surepress screen...mine seems to stop functioning a few times a day and i have to do a battery pull..the physical buttons work fine but the screen has been giving me crap...am i the only one with this issue??

 
 
Posted by MattNY Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

I upgraded from .75 to .141 today(the first time I tried a leaked version) and it all went smoothly except for the browser and app world. I have no browser icon anywhere and when I push the app world button, it says I should upgrade to a service plan including browsing... Oh and none of my bb messenger pins/regular contacts were synch'd, nor were my email settings.

So I tried to restore to the backup I made today and all my pins/contacts/emails were sync'd but I still dont have a browser or working app world. My system tells me I'm still running .141 and I'm not sure how to fix all this.

Please help someone.

 
 
Posted by Blueberry-Storm Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

I saw the same. give it a full reboot. pull the battery or use quick pull and it should put all that back. mine did. good luck.

 
 
Posted by khall1 Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

If you're using BIS, logging in and resending service books always fixes the browser issue for me after updating to a new OS.

Also, I've only had .141 running a few hours, but I can't see any appreciale change from .132

Now that I am on .141 my dentures are tighter and I don't drool as much

 
 
Posted by jonathon_flores Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

usually if you do a battery pull then it should solve the problem if not then try this:

Options > Advance Options > Host Routing Table. Then BB button then Register now.

that should also fix the bb App World issue.

 
 
Posted by m.350 Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

Im running .132. Works great!
I usually jump on every other leak or every 2nd leak. this way I see bigger differences. So I will probably hold out til the next one.
My guess is.. if .141 leaked, then VZW is most likely working on something higher(that's if they ever get off their asses)

Well I have tried to use this version but can't get it to load. I am using the official release from Telus .122.
I have download the .141 ran the install, deleted the xml, opened DM click and run application loader and tried both app loader and update software and nothing. No update is required for your device. Anyone ???
With the official release it went simple just a few days ago this one...nadda

 
 
Posted by der00 Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

Very nice. I went from .75 to .141 and I'm loving it. its faster stronger its better.

 
 
Posted by xz06deuce Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

So...after running this for a few hours. I have to say that I haven't seen a great deal of change with the browser

While I was taking a call and had a call come in, the numbers were stupid small(which was a surprise from the .75)

My apps are working fine, but I just tried to make a call without my headset after using it earlier and it says that I'm still on it! any ideas??

If I see anything else, I will let you all know(outside of the same locking problem for everybody :)

 
 
Posted by Matt03 Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

For some reason i can not get this OS 4.7.0.141 to work for me. I have upgraded my OS version's before so i know what i am doing for the most part. However when i install the OS on my laptop and then open BB desk top manager and plug my phone in nothing will happen. The past times it would say that it found an update and ask if i would like to install. This time nothing. Does anyone possibly know what i could do to fix this problem?

 
 
Posted by kaidar Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

I am having the same problem. the only exception is I have had this problem w/ every leaked os. I have never been able to upgrade a leaked version and believe me, I have gone step by step on the instructions. Did you get any feedback? Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks for your help...

I would really appreciate a little help, I have installed updates on my storm before but when I tried to download the newest os for the storm it does not find it, I have gone step by step using this 101 help but it can not find it, it comes up with the leaked .75 the verizon .75 and the .65 that came with the storm its not even showing all of the other leaked version for the storm please steer me in the right direction. Thanks.

 
 
Posted by Matt03 Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

That is the exact problem i am having. It is not registering that there is a new OS. Like you said .75 and .65 are the only ones showing up. I don't understand how everyone else was able to install it just fine.

 
 
Posted by nick13b@msn.com Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

From what I've read sounds like this update is a no go for me...i was not impressed with .132 and I'm too lazy to go back to .122 (best one) so i will wait for the next one...which i hope will improve the battery life that .132 fucked up!

 
 
Posted by slydog2kool Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

I always go to add/remove programs and remove the OS im replacing then install the new OS. Back up my cell with DM then close DM and use the APP LOADER to install the new OS on my BB. Never had a issue doing that...

I have been running it since the afternoon and it seems good. There is a difference but if you are happy with 132 then I would stay there and see what comes next. If I come across any problems I will try to post them.

ok so im running .75 just simply because i dont want to ruin my data and can anyone tell me the safest and best OS to upgrade to??

 
 
Posted by Blueberry-Storm Friday, May 01, 2009 1119 days ago

That is a good question. I have tried and used i think all of the updates i have seen come out. Some have been good and others not so good. Like with any update they are not official so it is hard to say if it will be good or not for you. I have seen it where it was a bad upgrade for me be good for someone else. I can tell you that 132 was stable for me but for some others it was not. not sure that will help you but it is my thought on what is stable and what is not. I am currently using this newest upgrade and it seems fine to me. hope that helps.

I hated .75 when I first bought the phone. I've done all of the upgrades, and the two that I liked the most were .113 and .132. It really depends on the way in which you use your CrackBerry. If you use it take lots of conference calls, which I do, then you probably won't like .122 very much. There were some quirks w/the keypad when using the phone. I did, however think it was the fastest version to date. .113 and .114 were very close, but I'll give it to .113. .132 is pretty good, but I don't find it as enjoyable as .113. Look for the one w/the fastest speeed and leas amount of bugs for the ways in which you use your device. Browser speed is very important to me as well. Not knowing what you do, I'd suggest .113 or .114.

i upgraded to .113 from .75 and then from .113 i went to .132 and im running .141 now..the process is pretty easy.

i personally would go to .132 and wait for the next leak.although .141 is great it seems to lag a bit compared to .132. i would go back to .132 but im just lazy lol

the safest way is to install and DONT disconnect in the process.thats about as safe as youre gonna get.

Works like a charm. For all those who are unfamiliar with how to do this here is what I did. I'm not saying it will be perfect for you, but it is what I did.

1.downloaded the leak and installed on the computer with the bb unplugged.
2.installed software
3.went to program files/commonfiles/apploader/ and erased the vendor file.
4. hooked blackberry up and double clicked on the loader exe from that program files location above.
5. found my bb in the dropdown clicked next and made sure that it backed up my stuff along with the install.
6. Let it do its thing for a while then whammo it was done.
7. let it restart then pull battery out and restart it.
8. go through setup and activate your wireless access etc.

I have to agree with the other posters that this leak is MUCH MUCH faster than previous versions. Web pages are loading way faster than they ever have, and not getting the spinning wheel so much.

Got it, liked it, good. No problems so far.

 
 
Posted by bbneng Friday, May 01, 2009 1119 days ago

i'd have to say, the new os is faster...especially the browser.

i was playing around and stumbled on the fact that my quicklaunch application was working when i switched over to this theme -- without absolutely any crazy flickering. if any of you have this theme, are you also able to get quicklaunch to work on it? i'd be curious. on other themes, it would not run on it.

it would be interesting to find out why it works in some themes and not others.

 
 
Posted by SterlingVT Sunday, May 03, 2009 1117 days ago

Quicklaunch is flickering on the theme that came with my storm. Is there a way to fix it? I tried re downloading, didn't work. I haven't tried it with any other theme.

This release finally fixes a bug that has prevented me from using the media player as my MP3 player since it first came out on the 88xx series. You can now fast forward through media that is longer than approx 27 minutes without the track restarting from the beginning! Further to that is the problem that when you receive an alert such as an email, phone call, etc. the track doesn't restart on you if it is beyond the 27 minute mark...finally!

 
 
Posted by endurelife Friday, May 01, 2009 1119 days ago

Umm Ok, so last night everything was great with the new OS, and still is...BUT I don't have BBMaps, Memo, Tasks, office to go etc. I hooked up it to DM and it diddn't show up when I click on apploader. Any ideas?

Thanks,
dustin

Remember if you try the new OS and it doesn't work you can always go to http://vzw.smithmicro.com/blackberry to redownload the current .075 and reinstall it. No one will ever know you put the leaked version on your device.

 
 
Posted by Gone Sormen Friday, May 01, 2009 1119 days ago

Just got a call from "my" tech at Verizon because I call 2 times a week to gripe. He said, "You may want to do a wireless upgrade on May 17th. Hint hint.". He hasn't been wrong on anything thus far.

 
 
Posted by xz06deuce Friday, May 01, 2009 1119 days ago

After using my headset that comes with the Storm on my phone for a call, it is constantly in headset mode(even when they aren't plugged in) so I'm unable to really make and receive calls without the headphones in now.

Any ideas???

 
 
Posted by vdubnbass Friday, May 01, 2009 1119 days ago

what the F! when the hell is VZ going to oficially release a new OS!?? so damn annoying. I don't want to risk these stupid leaked OS's anymore!!!!!!!

I have had them same problem and believe me it is frustrating and alarming. But I found if you plug the head set back in and then out right away, fast. It seems to disengage.

 
 
Posted by kthhrrsn Saturday, May 02, 2009 1118 days ago

I've only had .132 for a few days now, but I'm DYING to try another release! I think .113 was the most stable to date. v.132 was a bit of a step backwards in my opinion. Hopefully this will be a winner! Or...hopefully there will be even more leaks to try out!! I'll post my thoughts when the install completes.

 
 
Posted by JGLADIATORS Sunday, May 03, 2009 1117 days ago

I'M ABOUT TO DOWNLOAD IT AND HOPEFULLY IS BETTER THAN THE PREVIOUS LEAKED

 
 
Posted by VZW Rep running .141 Sunday, May 03, 2009 1117 days ago

I've been running .141 for 2 days now, and here's what I've noticed:

(1) The lock key issue that it seems multiple people have already noticed. Locking the device does not keep it from being unlocked by other keys if you mash them a couple of times, and most times you have to push even the lock key more than once to get it to unlock.

(2) The magnetic holster makes it do funny things. It's not always the same but it's never nothing. Taking the phone out of the holster the phone is usually on the full menu even if it wasn't when you put it in. Several times it was on the full menu with an option menu open. A couple times it had the menu up and the last icon touched was selected to move. Twice I pulled the phone out of the holster and it was in the phone app and had dialed the first contact in my contact list but not sent the call. Once, upon holstering, it actually sent this call (I noticed immediatly because I was wearing a headset).

(3) It's only locked up on me once so far: I had paused a video, pressed end to leave the app open and gone to the browser, and I turned the phone to go to portrait mode and received a message at the same time. Total lock-up. Had to pull the battery.

All things considered it's a world of difference from .75 and I'll gladly take the occasionally oddly open option menu and lock-key delay over the agonizing experience that is .75, especially for swarms of customers complaigning about their storms with no idea how to fix it, themselves.

browser issues.. facebook and other sites do not remember me, 404 errors all the time

when i LOCK it simply by pressing the BB key or the PREVIOUS button it unlocks, and takes pictures in my pocket..

probably gonna downgrade or cross my fingers we get a new one

 
 
Posted by laztradamus Tuesday, May 05, 2009 1115 days ago

So I did my first upgrade from .75 to .141, and it seemed to work fine. I backed up my info and restored it and all my contacts, calender, apps seemed to transfer back over which is great.

I lost my browser though. I'm a relative noob to this, so bare with me. It also said to resend the "service books" through the email settings. I figured that might fix things, who knows. When I get into email settings an error message stating "Your device had a problem connecting to the server". Any ideas how to fix these problems pleeeaaase???

 
 
Posted by INDY 500 Tuesday, May 05, 2009 1115 days ago

go to options and then advanced options...go to host routing table and click blackberry and hit register and that should bring the browser back as a icon and work fine...this happened to me a while ago when i updated my phone and i called verizon and was told this is how to get browser back on the phone..thanks

 
 
Posted by skesner4 Wednesday, May 06, 2009 1114 days ago

Oh yes, I remember my first beer...

 
 
Posted by troubleshooter-in-full-effect Thursday, May 07, 2009 1113 days ago

Yes! The fastest way to fix the problem is to delete all the service book entries except for entries marked with the word provisioning.

You can find this field by going to options>advanced options>service book. Once you delete the entries, back up one screen to host routing table then hit the menu key and select register now. Now go back to service book after you register the device and the service book field will fill up with the entries that you just deleted. Also it will include any missing browser entries.

After you delete the service book entries, login to your BIS account to resend your email accounts to your device. Or you can call your carrier to have them do that for you. The browser is working fine for me now.

I finally got fed up of waiting and waiting for Verizon to get their act together and put out an update to the Storm. I have been using .75 since December. Ugh! What was I thinking? Why did I wait so long to try some of the leaked firmware updates?

All I can say is that it is a quantum leap forward for me. Sure, there are probably bugs but hey, I was using .75! I'm used to bugs and crashes and freeze ups and delays. Could anything be any worse? Just the few hours of using .141 has been worth it. Even if the phone bricked tonight, just those few moments alone with a phone that actually worked like it was supposed to would make it all worth it.

I took my time, backed up everything just in case, and downloaded the updated software. So far we're just humming along just short of smartphone paradise.

 
 
Posted by Domenic Cona Wednesday, May 06, 2009 1114 days ago

I downloaded this i absolutely love it...the only thing that i dont like about it is that when my phone is locked the buttons on the bottom of the phone unlock it

 
 
Posted by mcgranger Wednesday, May 06, 2009 1114 days ago

I finally upgraded from 75 to 141. While 75 was far from flawless, I'm just not sure 141 is worth the leap. Yes, a bit faster but I lose battery life 30% faster than I did on 75, I can't sync w/ my outlook calendar, which is a huge issue. So, all in all, I will probably go back to 75 and just wait on Verizon...and wait and wait and wait....

 
 
Posted by realitee Sunday, May 10, 2009 1110 days ago

is anyone else having problems with their battery life now? i loved this version, not totally there yet but close, but my battery drains within like 3 hours to the point where the phone totally dies and shuts off. i fully charged the phone before i went to bed last nite and it turned off in the middle of the nite and my alarm didn't go off.. i would like to revert back to the last official verizon os.. lame i know.. comments??

 
 
Posted by lazlaz Monday, May 11, 2009 1109 days ago

I'm having the same problem. My battery is running down seriously fast to where I have to charge the phone 2-3 times a day. ANY FIXES?

 
 
Posted by realitee Monday, May 11, 2009 1109 days ago

so today it worked fine... apparently there is a thread on here somewhere that explains that the phone has to calibrate itself?? no clue, but today it was normal. hopefully it stays that way!

 
 
Posted by Puerto Rican Storm Monday, May 11, 2009 1109 days ago

.141 is really good when its not freezing up. its faster than .132 WHEN ITS NOT FREEZIN UP. I have had it for 3 days now. I thought it would correct itself after some use but no luck. If they could get it to stop freezing it would be more awesome than .132 (freezing meaning- "thinking indicator" comes on and you have to wait for it to do what you want it to do.)
