Leaked: OS 5.0.0.1015 For The BlackBerry Storm2 9550

I don't think there was ever a release with no issues. even if they do fix an issue there are many waiting to take it's place.

Although I thought it would have went 5.0.1.xxx

Really?!?!!!

is the worst BB phone!!

btw. if you have 9530, and pay the extra insurance via Verizon, you can (if its broken) get a replacement 9550 phone instead of the 9530. as Verizon no longer supports 9530s.

My cuz has something wrong with her phone, and called in to get it replaced; they shipped her a 9550 phone.

she got a new phone, and no 2 year renewal. thats awesome!!

The robotic voice issue was fixed in v.983

If you have completedly downloaded it. I will be most grateful if you could send it to my mail box as an attachedment. I have a storm 2. My email box is ifijay@yahoo.com

your not alone

The last leaked OS had the ability to send text msgs with more than 160 characters...gets broken into multiple messages. Is that function in this version?

If anyone has any suggestions for me to tinker around with I would be more than glad to answer anyone's questions. I highly suggest to not hold your breath. Just looking at the version number I highly doubt there are any significant upgrades to this OS.

1. Boot progress bar is thin and not as rounded at the ends. Boot time appears to have picked up a bit, but I could be wrong.

2. When hovering on any selection within the home screen (not the application screen)the icons, txt, or lettering tend to give off a quick shimmer or glow prior to remaining a solid blue. Previously hovering would just go straight to a solid blue luminescence.

3. I've had two app issues; one of which was annoying and the other a slight inconvenience. My dictionary.com app will just go fugly a bit and not hide the keyboard on demand. Scrolling through a definition is definitly not happening for whatever reason. I can't recall if there was a landscape mode for it, but there sure isn't under this OS.

My Twitter for BB app will not show a notification at the top of the display (you know the mini icon indicator). I actually had to scroll through my apps to see what had the red asterisk symbol above to find out what app had a new message or the like. That I found to be quite and inconvenience and just not cool.

Rest assured that the text, BBM, and mail icons do display at the top successfully.

4. This may be just a "it's me" thing, but I find scrolling through apps as well as entering and exiting apps or menus transitioning more smooth. Maybe I'm looking for things that are not really there, but I actually find the experience quite enjoyable when going in and out of stuff.

Well thats all I've noticed so far, but I will throw anything of significance up here if I come across anything else. Would love to hear what other's experiences are. I'm considering of going back to my previous release though if the notification issue with twitter cant get resolved. I reckon I'll try to reinstall it at least to see if that remedies the issue.

I was looking for some Jordans too.......BTW what is a storm 2 haha

LMAO!! ;-)

I thought it may have been just me, but I saw a significant jump in app memory. I've been having some convenience issues myself with certain apps, but I found through re-installation my app issues were resolved.

It appears that BBM and App World are easier to select;selection areas are easier to press due to wider birth. I reckon you're spot on with your findings.

Cheers

Thank god - it just hit me now that there are no more status updates in BBM. Personally they were sooo annoying.
