WTF?!?!? Someone post up a Storm leak already... you know you have it. :p The "holdout game" is getting old. lol

 
 
Posted by Dusty151 Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 793 days ago

I put this OS on my 8900 and It's so far the best one I've found. The last one drained my battery and had a bad memory leak. This one seemed to fix that problem. Also, the "lock" button on top of the phone does work. It's not stadby but a true lock. I have T-Mobile but I still put these leaks on here with no problem. And the best program I've used to update my blackberry is Blackberry Swiss Army Knife. You can back up your apps and then wipe your system clean to get a fresh install. Hope this helps everyone.

Both files say 5.0.0.554 so probably just a typo I'm sure Bla1ze will fix it soon

odd..... rebooted my cmpt, still nothing there. (in Program Files (x86) > Common Files > Research in Motion > AppLoader) There was a Device.XML file ... don't remember seeing that before. Anyway, loaded the OS, seems to work just fine.

Posted by guilleman Monday, Mar 22, 2010 794 days ago

of course it's there... and it will continue to be there... you can refer to BB's official report as it explains their reasons behind that move...

MUTE performs da same action... or if u prefer u can buy one of those apps that brings that feature back to life...

b4 u stomp ur Bold send it to me...

 
 
Posted by shakdaman Monday, Mar 22, 2010 794 days ago

hey dude, I'm not sure if this helps you, but i was a REALLY big fan of the "lock" icon on the phone, and when it vanished i was upset too, but I've learned to cope with it by holding down the "*" (star) key. It locks the phone and its pretty convenient.

 
 
Posted by lyonske Monday, Mar 22, 2010 794 days ago

I'm with you. The lack of a lock has frusterated me to no end as well!!!

 
 
Posted by DieselCityMag Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 794 days ago

I really don't understand why my 8900 has a lock key on the top if the mute button does the same thing (according to RIM, right?). I got used to that feature and they took it away. Also, I don't understand why there are so many builds to the 5.0 and t-mobile is still officially waaaaaaay behind. I'm seriously considering moving on to an android phone because of the number of times BB seams to get things wrong on their OS updates.

 
 
Posted by jenkim87 Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 793 days ago

t-mobile is no longer supporting the 8900 =[ i was sad when i found out about this

 
 
Posted by R1cE Monday, Mar 22, 2010 794 days ago

Had the OS for about an hour now. Not as buggy as .509 when running shangmail. I can update Beweather through TCP/IP now, but no webkit browser leak in this build T_T. Lock is still the standby + lock.

 
 
Posted by 17.michal Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 794 days ago

is it just me...or do you guys find the browser seems a lot faster now...im using bb 9000 and it just seems much quicker now...

Posted by INGrep Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 794 days ago

Being able to put the phone in standby is better at conserving battery life, correct? So what's the alternate way?

 
 
Posted by fayek Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 794 days ago

Who doesn't love a new OS leak! Haha! Unfortunately my internet is out for a week, so I won't be able to download it just yet, but I'll be able to closely monitor people's reactions towards it.
Also maybe by the time I get my internet back I'll be officially released, I'm always sketched out by leaked OS's

 
 
Posted by shaggypolodude Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 794 days ago

This is a pretty standard Leaked OS no major changes since the last one. One thing I have noticed is my screen seems to be sharper with bolder colors and crisp edges to the graphics I am running on my theme. Other than what has been already mentioned that is the only difference I notice right away

 
 
Posted by gunslinger25 Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 794 days ago

can you put the phone on standby mode? that's the only reason I'm still on .461, the last one (I think .509) had keyboard lock only.

 
 
Posted by mio_BB Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 793 days ago

.509 Was also with standby, only difference is that screen blacks out instantly, really cool. I image that This build does The same.

To those of You that want the lock feature, it is still there You just need to have a password set to use it.

 
 
Posted by jfs101 Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 794 days ago

Are the .509 bluetooth issues present in this version?

Downloaded and installed. Superb!!! Previously I used .509 and after boot up my memory just left around 8MB. This morning alone I pull my battery around 4 times. After I upgraded to .554, after boot up memory left 23MB and it has been 4-5 hours still fluctuating between 18-22MB... I think this version is cool!!!

Hi I have an AT&T Bold 9000 do I have to delete any files in order to load this leaked version thanks.

 
 
Posted by ljcn Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 793 days ago

Installed - it seems to run OK. The major change I notice is that BBM has now become a core application that cannot be removed on the handheld or using BB Desktop (it may be removable using BBSAK but I haven't tried and there must be a risk of a knock-on effect on other parts of the OS). If like me you don't use it this is a pain because it's just sitting there eating up 3MB of my app memory to no purpose.

 
 
Posted by fadi316 Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 793 days ago

delay on connecting to Wifi, and takes longer that normal to scroll thro pictures

 
 
Posted by mr. go_iLL Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 793 days ago

Installed and been running it for a few hours. No complaints. Wifi connects almost instantaneously, all apps wwork, picture scrolling is the same. Much faster browser, but maybe due to thinking it does. Question I did not install BB maps due to using google maps. Anyone else? Wifi Speed is very fast.... That's it for now

 
 
Posted by 4M0TI0N Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 793 days ago

Coming from .509 on the bb 9000 I found no noticable difference except the memory is waay better. Hovering around 19 - 22mb instead of 21mb then after about 2 hours 14-15mb. This is definatly better! I felt there was something about the .509 that wasn't quite right. Was better than previous versions although I couldnt wait for the next update to give me peace of mind, and this update has given it to me. Thank you CB for the heads-up. Love u guys

I've been trying to put this leak on my phone. I downgraded to 4.6 then everything on my phone got deleted because of a fatal error. Whenever I install the download, delete vendor an open the loader, it keeps saying "blackberry desktop software does not have device software for the device that you have connected to the CPU" what should I do to get 5.0

Posted by artiemon Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 793 days ago

I've had it installed for the day and it is better than 509 and 464. Battery life seems to be MUCH better. I haven't noticed the choppy audio in phone calls, but I haven't been on many calls. The one bug I've noticed is the switch application dialog box in the browser. The trackball is so sensitive, it is VERY difficult to select the app you want to switch to. I've been having to hold down ALT key and repeatedly press the Escape key to switch apps.

Posted by luqman24 Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 793 days ago

This update has been running very smooth for me on my Bold 9000 and I've been running it for a couple of hours now. But one bug I've noticed was when I do a battery pull I loose a full bar. I've had this bug in update .348 but except it was half a bar and has been fixed in .509 but yet haunts me once again with a full bar in this update. Idk if its jus me but its gets pretty irritating at times and when ur not at home and have to do a battery pull.

 
 
Posted by luqman24 Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 793 days ago

And also I've noticed that the browser speed on wifi got a bit slower than the last update .509

Enjoy everyone.

My Opinion:
This OS runs very well for the 8900. Real smooth, haven't come accross any bugs yet, it actually fixed a lot of problems I had with the older 5.0 OS. I run IM+, FB, Twitter, Beejive, it all runs normally. Definitely recommend this leak.

Posted by BBpixie Wednesday, Mar 24, 2010 792 days ago

This new OS is working good for me since I installed it yesterday. My memory is 111mb (usually I don't care about it but for those of you do). The only plm is when I woke up this morning, the blue led light kept flashing no matter what I did (I use berrybuzz, so the blue is for bbm). I had my friend send me a msg via bbm, and the light finally stopped. Interesting, hope it doesn't happen again tmr morning when my bb automatically turns on. So far, this OS is great for me. The previous OS had me frustrated with freezing of sms messaging.

Posted by mattpowell19 Wednesday, Mar 24, 2010 792 days ago

I installed the new OS for my phone...I haven't noticed much of a difference but I did notice that it didn't crash my phone which is all that matters. It seems to be running a little smoother though. Hopefully it will be made "official" soon!

 
 
Posted by eduardo.objio Wednesday, Mar 24, 2010 792 days ago

Been using it for the last 7 hours and so far.... the displayed fonts are larger (I'm talking about the ones you cannot change via-settings, the ppl who have themes that display fonts on the Homescreen should know what I mean), the wifi syncs without any issues and for some reason I would like to think is running faster... The phone doesn't freeze up that much, like it use to do with .509. Memory leak it's still present, battery life seems more efficient, no significant improvements that are visible up until now. If I find anything else, I will post it asap.

Also the lock is back Woot which locks and puts phone in stand by loving it no more password required woot.

Once you delete both, run loader.exe and your good to go

Love the new OS...however, every time I try to "delete prior" on SMS or emails, it will only delete one at a time! Previously, it would delete *ALL*. Now, in order to delete ALL, I have to select all messages, then delete. Kind of a pain, if you have alot and/or don't delete every day.

Also, when selecting all of the SMS messages to delete, it locks up, with the "deleting" window still on the screen. If I restart, the "deleting" message is still there! I have to pull the battery in order for the delete pop up message goes away...and even then, ALL of the SMS are there again!! Even the ones that I individually deleted!!

Another issue I'm having is that is the backscreen...not the main "Wall Paper" screen...but when I hit the BB button to find other apps. The picture behind the icons turns white and the icons disappear until I scroll over them. I have to keep resetting the Theme Defaults in order to get the regular theme backgrounds back.

And...sigh...sorry - my LED light doesn't work the majority of the time. Yes, I have the SMS LED Alert and yes, I have the LED Notifications set to OFF (how it is supposed to be set). I've even tried turning the LED Notifications to ON, but this does not correct the issue.

If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know before I decide to revert back to the earlier OS! Thanx in advance for any help!!

ok...I finally decided to go to .509....but am having problems.

I went from v4.6.0.304 to v5.0.0.554 without any install issues. Yes, I backed up my .304 and even backed up the .554 before trying to install .509.

However, when I install the loader.exe, it just goes thru the motions and then asks if I want to open Desktop Manager. I say yes, then check the updates (no, they are not set to check updates automatically)..but the only ones that are available to load is the current v4.6.0.304 and older versions.

I've even tried to get the .509 version (because from what I've read, there aren't the SMS issues in that, that are there in the .554 version). But it does the same thing!!

Help!!!

I'm really not that "savvy" with Blackberry OS installations, so if you offer advice/help, please be as detailed as possible....Kind of like "installation for dummies"! hah

Thanx.

The past 2 leaks including this leak seemed to work great, until I make a call and the person on the other end sound like a robot. Curve 8900 On T-mobile and had to go back to older OS. Anyone here experience the same issue?
