What a great start to the day. We've known for some time this OS was floating around out there, even heard that this one had hit "Gold Candidate" for release to carriers. Now, thanks to a CrackBerry forums member who wished to remain anonymous you can now check out the release yourself. As always, be sure to back up your data before you load this one onto your device gold candidate or not, things could go awry.  Standard disclaimer can be found below.

*OS Disclaimer - Please Read: Keep in mind this is NOT an official release and as such is not supported by RIM or your Carrier. If you choose to install, do so at your own risk and only if you're comfortable in the process of upgrading and downgrading your device software. It is quite normal during operating system development for certain features to be crippled or disabled while others are tested, and these beta builds often reflect that. They are not always better. Depending on your BlackBerry comfort level, it may be best for you to wait for community feedback on a build before deciding to download and install for yourself or simply wait for the next official release. If you require support, you will find it in our CrackBerry forums via our extremely knowledgeable community base - do not contact your carrier or RIM for Beta OS technical support (their first course of action will be to advise you to downgrade to a supported OS). Follow the links below for more information and instructions. *

    I DL the file in under one (1) minute...THANK YOU :)

    Faisal_Khan

    I'll be interested to see what are the improvements in the newer upgrade. I don't have the time to install it myself but will follow the discussion in this thread.

    Faisal_Khan

    And that was because of the length of my post. Hehe!

    JLeiteRosa

    Just curious, do you get some sort of prize by submitting your post first? I see people sort of "competing" to be first in-posting but bring NOTHING to the table with their "first post" post. Silly... #justsaying - sorry had to comment on that alone!

    Faisal_Khan

    For fun, of course. It is not silly though.

    JLeiteRosa

    For fun, huh? OKAY! Whatever floats your boat. Seems silly to me.

    Brnkvc

    Yes, sometimes human beings like to be silly and have fun. Sorry to burst your Orwellian bubble.

    es_bih

    I think they win douche bag of the post...

    I can't see the logic behind it.

    bondapher

    man its taking forever here. ill wait a day or two.

    NOOOO!!!!! Not while I'm in schoool :'(

    cook0066

    almost done installing.

    Supermulatt

    I'm so happy with the .536 leak. Not sure if I'll do this upgrade. But ofc if there's something great about this one, I might be tempted:)

    Projectile

    A new OS, my heart is filled with joy. I heard this release is the cats meow!

    Gonna give it a try...

    lorennayturbe

    Please let us know how it works for you, I downloaded last week the O.S 536 and its great with my battery, it last almost 3 days!

    tavella

    Downloading at a mighty 24.4k/s... I'll let you know in a few hours.

    Brutal...absolutely brutal. I feel for you.

    mpscan

    After getting my 9700 with the stock AT&T OS and going to .536 last week, I have to say that was an amazing upgrade. Not sure this will be worth it since the jump is so small unless someone can advise of new features.

    syb0rg

    can someone upload this to Google Docs, so those of us with Filters can DL and install it?

    ThorstenD

    Hi,

    Can somebody please check, if IM+ works fine with this leaked os?
    The leaked os before, .535, have had some trouble with the start screen, the icons wasnt displayed right.

    Thorsten

    cook0066

    everything works fine for me.

    vergastroka

    I'm installing it as we speak, hope it resolves 3G/BIS issues that allot of bold 9700 all over the world are having.

    facegirl

    Can anybody tell me if the "lock symbol" and unlock password is integrated in this leak?????

    vx1

    its always nice to wake up to a gold candidate build :)

    installing now :)

    WilliamRupp

    I want to put it on , however I'm not a huge fan of pictures being pixelated unless you zoom on them , also kills my battery : /

    gots2beme

    Wow 2 OS leaks within a week of each other...life's good!

    w_bovine

    Well...I'll go to the forums and read up on this one first. Not that I haven't already downloaded it, mind you...

    1magine

    Another leak? Seriously. Clearly the favorite son. AT&T leakers, YOU ROCK. VZN testers - - CMON.

    mccx33

    I am just curious to see if this leak also has that weird lock button (put the phone in stand by mode) function that the last leak had.. Someone ought to mention it.

    dLo GSR

    that's how it is now, the newest Tour OS has it as well.

    Any change logs on this? I hope T-Mobile has an official OS release soon.

    Good luck with the wait. T-Mobile takes way to long to release a new os.

    WhoolioPreludee

    Where the F are the leaks for the 9550?! Enough with the 9700 already. Sheesh . Leak hogs.....

    lancer1991

    hah, even those that have 5.0 want more 5.0. You should feel lucky, 8350i is still on 4.6 and is only a little over a year old phone.

    JMDBERRY

    I've DL'd and installed. All seems well. I won't go into the,.."it seems faster, etc, etc". I'll just say that it works after the update,...and of course I have the updates released in .442.

    BB,...9700,...the best!

    Is the picture viewer locked to 4 per row?

    You can view thumbnails of 16 photos at a time,...that is, 4 rows of photos across and 4 columns.

    I did not see a setting to change this.

    what are the change-logs

    any one.....

    all these updates, I guess the 8330m is doomed... never to be updated again....

    infinus

    8330 is still in market
    :-o

    JLeiteRosa

    I'm curious to find out what the battery life is with this OS, the previous one leaked this week was a battery hog. As were a few before that. I obted to stick with .442...

    after you've installed and gave it a "whirl" - please let us know if it is worth the upgrade. Thanks...

    i cant wait until this finishes downloading (@202kb/s)im over here in my computer room, downloading this and jl-commanded the hell out of my phone right before class..... class is at 11:00 lets hope i get there in time :D

    hughwpage

    Downloaded and installed this morning...just bought my 9700 a week ago after getting fed up with trackball issues on my 9000. I"m on a BES, and I upgraded to 536 and now this one, and I have to say my limited experience at the moment is this:

    - Browser is noticeably faster than even 536 OS
    - Pictures load much quicker
    - In fact everything so far seems to load much quicker.

    dnoredsi

    2 times in a week?! awesome... dl'in now.. =D

    CrackBerryV79

    Yes, have downloaded, installed and...

    - I seem to be an inch taller now
    - my car seems to get an extra 10 mpg

    etc... etc.

    Seriously, calm down on the reporting right after you download something. Unless it's a major, obvious change (like a bug fix) chances are it's something that you're WANTING to see, i.e. speed of browser/picture clarity, etc.

    Give it a few HOURS, then report back some real info. Otherwise you're not really helping. If ALL of these updates were so much "faster" as indicated when they drop, it would be instantaneous by now. lol

    qu3lly

    I had issues with contacts duplicating, sometimes triple times and names and numbers getting switched around with the old os. Is anyone noticing contact issues with this leak?

    infinus

    what about...
    key lock bug....

    is it restored....

    CrackBerryV79

    Not...
    A...
    Bug...

    That is the permanent dedicated function for all the new devices now.

    It's not a bug, it's working as RIM wanted it to...

    StormBran

    Nice to see the Bold 9700 getting a lot of love . When is the Storm 2 9550 gonna get some of that love since it seems that Verizon is not doing there Job. Why is BB letting the phone company determine if you get an OS update or not?

    beamolite

    Maybe because Verizon kicked the Storm 2 to the curb in favor of the Droid.

    vergastroka

    They have not fixed the 3G/BIS issue (supposing it is a software issue). Each time I hang up a call I find my phone y GSM, then it goes to GPRS, then to EDGE and finally to 3G again. It is frustrating. Also from time to time the same thing happens without doing a call. I have now put the phone in 2G mode (EDGE only) because it is really unstable in 3G. It is neither a network or signal strength issue, since my nokia never looses 3G and regarding de signal strength when this issue happens the bar are almost full on my bb bold 9700.

    infinus

    well,
    same here with me...
    first it goes to GSM --> edge --> ( loooooooong delay ) EDGE.

    called my vodafone guy and he reverted me with temp network issue...
    but that's not true...
    it happens even when i switch on my 9700....

    goes to GSM --> edge --> ( loooooooong delay ) EDGE.

    phoneboy101

    Mine has been doing the same thing. It's very frustrating since my primary reason for buying a 3G Blackberry was to be able to use data while I'm in a call (most frequently for Google Maps). When it drops to EDGE, GPRS, or GSM while I'm in a call, that possibility goes out the window.

    3G speed isn't much faster on the Berry at all for me on T-Mobile in Salt Lake City. This is due to RIM's proxy servers architecture, and partly due to actual 3G speeds in the 300-400 Kbps range in this market. (I recently clocked 2.8 Mbps in Miami, but still had the "no 3G in call" problem there.)

    The network bug and slow 3G in this area are really putting a damper on my 3G love. I should have save the money and stuck with the 8900.

    Blacklatino

    @ Bla1ze- Thanks for posting and "much appreciated" to the anonymous member. :)

    Rockafella

    Its crazy that the 9700 gets all these leaks and we can't get no love for the Tour

    CashV

    and the 1st thing i notice is it loads MUCH quicker! I have A LOT of apps and themes on my bb and load time was usually forever (about 3 minutes)! this loaded in under a minute!

    thatton

    Just installed and EVERYTHING seems much worse now... Here are my findings:

    MY WIFE HATES ME BECAUSE I JUST UPDATED MY PHONE EARLIER THIS WEEK!
    THE DOG PISSED ON THE CARPET!
    I BURNED THE TOAST BECAUSE I WAS UPDATING THE DAMN OS!

    Oh, the phone... Everything seems to be working but I'm not going to report back on that for a few days because NOBODY can tell in 30 seconds what the pros and cons are of a new OS.

    ThorstenD

    Hey, use somebody here IM+ and could it please check, so that IM+ works fine?

    Thanks,

    Thorsten

    ok,

    So I just upgraded on Monday and today I will do the same hehe..

    Cilke

    Cilke

    Any difference between 536 and 545?

    Thanks team

    omgjoz

    You guys gonna get another Mirror up? Can someone who already downloaded please upload somewhere for the rest of us slow people?

    Thanks!

    londonmandan

    The last two leaks have killed App world when it comes to looking at the reviews I get:

    There was a problem reading data from the server and BlackBerry App World must exit. Error type: 100002

    Any ideas?

    daltaga

    I'm having similar issues

    Dem0

    Which 3G bands is this leak for?

    Cultus

    Can someone post a new link or mirror, or someone who already downloaded, can you please upload and share with us...thanks...

    sagardavul

    any one see the difference between .442 and .545

    I am pretty much happy with .442 which is official through certain carriers. was wondering whether it is worth a try to put in .545, particularly I really like previous lock/standby keys. looks like this has been changed in the recent releases.

    daltaga

    Does anybody knows if app world is having issues. Last night I was able to read reviews. Today I getting an error message.

    Have anyone read about issues with UMA in .536 ?

    Artwerks

    I had the same 10002 error when reading reviews in App World with OS .536. I updated earlier today to .545 and installed the App World update released yesterday and everything works fine now.

    CrackBerryV79

    The OS version is different from the Platform version.

    For instance: this OS (5.0.0.545) is part of Platform 5.1.0.140

    **in an attempt to stop some people from mistakenly getting too excited that they see a 5.1 OS out there**

    jt_131

    ok sorry for this noob question, but after you download the file, how do u upload it onto your phone...?

    Cilke

    I did't have issues with .536 in regards to UMA.

    I read issues with 3G, but I did not have issues with 3G.

    I'm with Tmo.

    Regards,

    BBNMDG

    the bb messenger work on my tmo bold 9700 with this OS?...it keeps saying "uncaught exception: application net_rim_bb_qm_peer(247) is not responding: process terminated. PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!!!!

    rsilva_28

    The you load the new OS on your phone and then it started doing this? If you loaded the new OS, Did you delete the Vendor.xml file from the pc before doing it??

    BBNMDG

    After I loaded the new OS it started. I didnt delete any vendor file because its a leak. How do you delete a vendor file on a leaked OS?

    rsilva_28

    This is what you should do everytime you load a NEW OS on your phone. Make sure you always have a backup first also. Dont just go ahead and load the new OS right of the bat. At least this is what I always do.
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader\Vendor.XML
    Remember that these Leaks and OS are not straight from the Vendor. So you want to delete the Vendor.XML file so that you dont get any Errors. I hope this helps, Let me know how it goes.

    Atomicpunk

    Just installed .545 and I am getting an error message when trying to view reviews in app world. Also, the lock key seems to work the same as OS .536 (no lock screen). I haven't played around with it enough to notice any other differences yet.

    Artwerks

    Just installed .545 after using .536 for a few days. I like that Lock button thing, way better than having a lock and standby button apart. With 536, I encountered a few problems including BeWeather Free not updating (they say it's an app issue, not an OS one, right?) and the App World crashing... now they both work fine with that OS.

    downloaded and installed, so far everything is working fine will update as i use it

    Bjameslynch

    I know that the mute key no longer puts the phone on standby intentionally, but is there another quick way to do it on the newer updates? I always use the mute for standby on my phone, and I can't see installing this update without an alternative option.

    Striker317

    I guess you won't be updating for a long while then, as the mute key functionality change is definitely here to stay...

    Anyone notice this leak is 151 mb where most 9700 os' are only 120-130 mb?

    rohaat

    I`m not very simmiliar with this OS etc.
    If I look at my phone information it shows 5.1.0.98.
    Do I need this???

    iLovemy_bb

    I hear this version is supposed to be amazing.

    clos167

    ive noticed that if you have a large convo with someone on sms text and you try to scroll all the way to the top of the convo by hittin the "t" button, the whole convo goes blank and when you exit out of it and try going back in, it doesnt let you...you'll have to either reset your phone or keep clicking it till it goes back in.....try this on a large convo you had with someone and youll see wt im talking about

    D Mobile

    Mine does that too but I still have the official TMobile release.

    clos167

    so you saying that it still does that on the factory os that comes with the phone (9700)?

    StAiChiLLiN

    Time to read the forums for a good day or two before installing.

    Monster21

    By downloading this software what is going to be different then the stock software that came with my Blackberry Bold 9700 for AT&T? Someone please help me

    mr.rickeyk

    Who determines this leak is a Gold Standard over the one leaked a few days ago. I wonder if there are big differences between the 2 leaked OS? Just curious, I haven't upgraded yrt but I'll be on one of them tonight!!!

    msliggins

    I downloaded and installed this morning. Worked fine for a bit. Tried to launch the browser from the quick launch bar and got an uncaught error exception that I could not get to go away without a battery pull. Down grading now!

    carlosg2002

    so where are my yahoo messenger aim and google talk?

    Artwerks

    I had the same issue... maybe it's their way to do things now so we don't have these apps pre-installed. Install them using the Application Center or App World.

    Doctor A

    Noticed that installed OS with size of 169mb. .536 was 127mb. Does anyone know why size of OS is largest of all to date?

    squire366

    I dropped .545 on my 9700 this morning about 10:30am. I'm on BES and I'm the IT dude in my office so I'm constantly getting work emails on my phone all day. So far .545 seems to be working well.

    My only problem was with a few themes that I created myself but that is not a real concern of mine.

    On UMA, websites DO load much faster than the previous leak. 3G speeds aren't bad either.

    To sum it up.......so far so good!!!

    brades

    my theme is totally focked on this new os :\

    Patcheko

    Using this leak for 6hrs and heavy usage , like it so far and btw , speakerphone glitch is fixed in this leak.

    sjh7644

    I have been having problems with my 9700, it would keep dropping the 3G data connection. My telecoms provider took it in to have a look at it and they have installed App Version 5.0.0.545 (922) Platform 5.1.0.140. They described it as a patch to fix a few 3G issues and to give me a desktop icon for mail...... apparently being rolled out by providers with effect form Thursday

    NOKJAA

    UR Telecoms Provider? Please 'PM' me if you would like. Would greatly appreciate it.

    Regards,

    NokJAA.

    rsilva_28

    What do you mean your Telecoms Provider installed it, Who's that? When you say your 3g was dropping, you mean like when you were on the phone talking or surfing the phone would go to 2g, Edge?? Is your phone constantly on 3g now? How can we get that Patch?? I have t-mobile.

    collinp73

    I loaded the new OS this morning. It has been running very well all day. It has been a very heavy use day, so it is hard to judge battery life. I did notice that Facebbok App is running much faster than the last couple of OS leaks. All other apps appear to working fine. 3G seems to be working better, but it has always been good in Tampa.

    carlosg2002

    i also noticed the facebook app running faster. pretty good!

    TommyNg

    I download the new version and went in delete vendor.xml but for some reason we i use loader it still can't find the newer version. Can someone help?

    etcshadow

    I have installed the *.545 OS over the *536 OS on my 9700 on ATT. The upgrade ran flawlessly. No problem connecting to my BES or to my BIS accounts. IM+ kept crashing under *536. It runs flawlessly under *545. Same for the Blackberry App Store, Docs to Go (version 2.x) and various Google apps (map, search), BEWeather, QuickLaunch.

    Because I can run IM+ (paid version, not free) under this release, I am inclined to call this release more stable than *536. Your mileage may vary. But I am happy with this version. Keyboard lock changes are not drawback in my opinion.

    vinny jr

    Can any one tell me if it is really worth the bother to download the new OS (.545) vs the original OS that came with the 9700? I usually wait for my provider to come out with one before I go thru with the download. I have zerro problems with my phone, it's fast as hell and have loads of apps on it. I would hate to throw a wrench into a great running phone. Thanks

    Aztek13

    I wish Rogers would upgrade from v5.0.0.351. I feel so far out of the loop and I can't upgrade to a beta o/s. Its a work thing. :(

    ChattieCat11

    when is supposed to be released?

    when is supposed to be released?

    ahotskater02

    this update is a drastic improvement from the os that came with the phone. The 9700 is actually my gf's phone. i have the 9550 storm. this update reminds so much of the storms os as far as the functionality. the only thinf that i dont like about this and OS .536 is that if you happen to lock your screen with ur contacts being the last screen shown, it will show up when u click a button on th ephone. On my 9550 and on the tmobile os, it'll show ur homecreen only. Whats up with that??? also, before you could consolidate all your messages into the Messages folder without having to use the SMS/MMS folder. Why cant we choose where we want our messages going anymore? anyone have the same issues?

    duck88

    Good for you guys, I'm STILL waitin for 5.0 for my verizon tour....still waiting

    Speakerphone still is messed up. Please Fix RIM

    You need to keep pressing the dang button to get it to work and the icon says it's on when it's not. It's goofy.

    I'm updating my phone now and it stopped in the middle (the computer screen nor phone is moving). Should I unplug it? What is the best thing to do in this situation?

    clinthess

    I will be downgrading tonight.

    I've noticed that reviews now work on app world, but I cannot deal with my inability to access the net while on the phone. Additionally, it uses about 7 mb more of my memory than 536

    Does this OS support AT+T 3G bands 1,2,5 and 6 ? or is it for T Mobile ? How is the radio for reception, call quality etc...

    popc0rn

    I've never updated my OS before, will this wipe out everything on my phone? Or is it a drop in upgrade?

    This supports AT&T 3G bands right?

    This (and every) 9700 OS will work for all 3G bands, not just 1,2,5,6. I have T-Mobile, and they use bands 1,4,8, and I'm running this OS right now.

    I've installed couple of hours back. It's working flawless. I can see web is a bit faster than .442. Mute button doesn't work as a standby anymore. lock key works as lock but the difference is screen will be dim immediately. After installing my gmail, yahoo, aim clients are gone. I can't talk about battery right now. WiFi works great, switch b/w UMA to 3G and viceversa ... is really fast compared to .442 I used to see UMA<->uma<->edge<->EDGE<->3G before. now I am not seeing EDGE at all. It just goes quickly back to 3G.

    Overall... I feel it's a good version.

    I guess I'll download the new OS overnight on my super fast 56k connection and install it in the morning :D

    I just installed the .536 before I saw this post too. Haha, that's my luck.

    That another 8900 leak is on the way! Right? :)

    The ones i had in my inbox before the OS upgrade were gone and new ones are not coming in! My friends say they've been sending me MMS but none of them are showing up in my inbox.

    I loaded .545 onto my 9700 this morning and here are some of my findings thus far:

    -Boot time has drastically been cut down from the previous leak (.536)
    -Battery seems to be holding up much better as well, under heavy usage.
    -The browser has also gained some speed, even from .536
    -I don't know if anyone else had this problem with .536 but my bold had a much harder time picking up a signal with it compared to .422, I seen others mention having issues with 3G but my problem was wireless signal period, this has been fixed in .545.
    -GPS has also been improved IMO, granted its been gradually been improving with every new build but this is the first one that I could actually use on a regular.
    That's it for now, I would say this has been the best OS for my 9700 thus far leaked or official

    Bold 9700 OS 5.0.0.545 Bug -- Edits to Default Application Permissions revert back to Custom/Custom/Allow (RIM defaults) upon device reboot.

    six4seven

    This is a serious and shitty issue. Can anyone else confirm about the application Custom/Custom/Allow reset from .545 mentioned above?

    Cilke

    Team,

    I upgraded one hour ago and I did a *hard* reset ( pull the battery) and I checked those settings and I do have those.

    reading the custom, allow, etc.. what will be the negative impact? if you can edit them..

    Just udated to .545 from .321 and now all fonts are quite blurry. My 9700 with .321 had the beste font rendering I've ever seen but with .545 fonts realy look sh*t... Hopefully they will look as nice as with .321 again when downgrading.

    I wouldn't have switched from .536 but my SMS's stopped working properly. On the error log, letters at bottom are still cut off. I also lost 5 mb's of memory. That's unacceptable. I was at 69.9 and now I'm at 64.9. This was a larger file, and I DIDN'T install the languages. That is NOT the reason. This file is just bloated. Also, there is no FLASH on the browswer like someone reported prior. FLASH isn't working yet for mobile browswers, but they are working on it. THIS IS NOT THE OS that cures all, far from it. :(

    CrackCurve56

    Please avoid this upgrade if you can. .536 was better, and that's not saying much. A leak is still a leak and I hear RIM is up to the 550's already on betas.

    PhishShticks

    Still having issues with the permissions. And the issue with the text entry fields being cut off is also happening to me as well... most definitely NOT a gold candidate. sorry RIM, but ya gotta work out the kinks... should have stuck to .536 now THAT was a great build

    how long does it usually take for an official OS to release after a leak is released? I'm new to blackberry so this is the first update i've seen...

    bosoxgurl

    I downloaded the new OS and uploaded it onto my Bold 9700. All my apps worked well with it, however my theme got way jacked up. All of us Blackberry users have no sense of patience. I mean we all have a perfectly good working OS 5.0 on our devices, why doesn't that satisfy us?

    I would suggest just waiting until the official version comes out. "If it ain't broke don't fix it."

    Great build everything seems to be working fine,
    lock button locks and turns off screen but still doesn't password lock, mute key does not go into standby. Browser seems to be a bit snappier on wifi, (no 3g tests yet) calculator has a new layout, which actually happened on the last update. I'm on rogers and not having any sms issues like the tmobile folks are reporting, startup time has been decreased, (still flippin slow) Media player and picture viewer are working even quicker now, (track starts playing sooner, pictures swipe smoother and load the previews faster)

    basically in short a great release and unless you love using mute for standby (which is stupid because thats what the lock key is for) grab this up!

    hitman52

    so far so good, .536 was a good leak. Installing .545 now lets see how this one goes

    gerard1982

    Could some one tell me when is tmobile getting the new os 5.0 for the curve 8520
    Please at me gerard1982@tmo.blackberry.net if you have any info

    Anyone having bbm issues with this build? Since I've upgraded from .442, profile pix do not show for contacts on bbm.

    My comment subject pretty much says it all. This is the only thing that didn't get filtered, happily dl'ing now!

    Have been running this leak for a day and I can't find anything wrong with it. Great update. Not like my Womans Motorola Cliq and the update she got recently. But thats a different story. The only thing I notice was that the trackpad sensitivity was a little bit stronger. I had this phone less than a month now and have upgraded from the original OS build that came out of the box to 5.0.0.536 then to 5.0.0.545. Did not feel a difference with 5.0.0.536. I went from the default 70 vertical & horizontal to 80 when I got the phone and with the 5.0.0.545 I had to bump it up to 90. All my apps run without a problem. The following apps is what i have:

    T-Mobile My Account
    Facebook
    Weatherbug
    Nimbuzz
    Personal Assistant
    Ebay
    Google Maps
    Google Sync
    Hippopost
    Pandora
    Poynt
    Quickpull
    Quicklaunch
    Radio Companion
    ScoreMobile
    Xenozu
    ColorID

    Kevin said this version was so much better so I'll definitely get it...

    ahotskater02

    is anyone noticing that when you get a bbm it doesnt vibrate? even if u have it set to???

    enotar

    greekgoon,
    beside the OS where did you get ebay?

    Thank you
    enotar

    yrivas20

    please i dont know how to do the update, can somebody tell me how to do this, thanks in advance

    ottio

    I download the OS and installed on my PC but I can't get it loaded on my phone.

    fostirop

    Some one pls with the .545 try the following (but back up your pics first!!)

    Take a few pics and then group them under a custom folder you create.

    After you are done, try changing the name of the folder.

    What happen to me is that the pics under the folder were lost as well as under the "All Pictures".

    However, when I searched for them with my exlorer app I still found them existing in my memory card.

    For some reason, however, they will no longer show in the media section.

    enigma9

    Try doing a battery pull. Let us know if that fixes the problem.

    fostirop

    Nope, no good :(

    I rolled back to .344 just to see if it does the same thing and...it does 2.

    Can't figure this one out...any one who might be having the same problem?

    kamakazikev24

    After installing this when I take my phone off the charger and press the left top key instead of the screen going black and locking the phone, the screen just dims and stays dimmed and the phone locks.
    If I do a battery pull it then works fine.
    Well nothings perfect I suppose.

    carlosg2002

    Ok I just noticed this. When I use app world and select an app then click to see the reviews I get an error not sure if this from the update or its a problem from app world. I already removed and re installed it and its the same.

    mobi900

    Another leak? Seriously. Clearly the favorite son. AT&T leakers, YOU ROCK. VZN testers - - CMON.

    Wizzkidd09

    build seems to be a bit more responsive, no issues yet, went from .536, I like this one better, i'll report if I find anything else peeps...stay tuned

    Wizzkidd09

    spoke too soon, im experiencing many uncaught exception errors with bbm, this build doesnt seem to like it too much, went into bbm to retrieve a messege and got stalled for about a min then clicked end when tried to go back into bbm no contacts were there just my groups, did a powercycle just get the lag and same uncaught exception errors, downgrading now.

    mikeyg164

    downloaded and installed. 6 hours later as is well.

    This firmware is simply amazing! The browsing speed on 3G is the fastest I've seen so far. Also all applications are working fine.

    Get this firmware now people!

    rahsxxn

    This OS leak gets a big thumbs down; don't waste your time! Once I found out that I was unable to use my phone as a modem after completing the upgrade, I reinstalled 5.0.0.422. Besides this problem, I have had a few errors appear when I would use App World.

    The leak is fast only when navigating through the OS itself. I highly doubt people's claims of seeing a change for the better when referring to their browsing experiences. There's no way an OS update can change the native browser's speed. I don't think RIM would waste their time on developing a new "faster browser" if the OS upgrades made their browsers faster.

    I got 5.0.0.545 when I got the email to say it was available for my 9700 and its not right. I keep getting a blank screen saying "connecting to desktop" everytime i reboot it and sometimes when I take it out of its holster. It was fine befor I upgraded it

    ssybert

    i like the change rim has made with the lock keys but since upgrading to the official 545 every time i wake the phone by hitting the lock screen while locked the screen comes on but just stays black for 5 seconds or so and then finally comes on and sometimes it seems to get confused and flash on and then go back to lock. anyone else having this problem?

    presean

    i have some problems with reading Facebook messages and i have the inverse on loud icon, the internet speed is not miracular but the quality of youtube seems no bad! so i'm downloading the 5.0.0.566
