Leaked: OS 5.0.0.571 For The BlackBerry Tour 9630
Leaks galore!! We know from all this Push to talk on Verizon news now that some variation of OS 5.0 for the BlackBerry Tour 9630 is coming to Verizon soon. Since we're not exactly sure which version it will be, we figured we couldn't go wrong in posting OS 5.0.0.571. It will either be the OS that shows up for Verizon or it will most likely be higher than that of the version released by Verizon. In either case, if you load this one back up your data first boys and girls. It's not been tested so better safe than sorry.

*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 love upgrading to a new OS. But having to have to reload all the settings for programs such as berryweather, rdm+, viigo, etc etc etc is such a pain!

Is there some sort of easy solution to this?

 
 
Posted by rts3k Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 691 days ago

paid berryweather version has a backup restore settings.

If you're already on a 5.0 OS, just do a standard upgrade once you install the new OS to your PC. I haven't had to do a manual BBSAK wipe-type upgrade since the initial load from a 4.x OS. Desktop Manager will backup and restore all apps and settings for you as part of it (includes BES activations, if present.)

i typically do a wipe and reinstall whenever i go from one 5.0 leak or hybrid to another. guess it just "feels like" it's a cleaner install. but i too can't stand resetting everything every time. ubertwitter is the worst! although i am happy that a lot more of the apps i'm using now have backup features.

..for something official, though those are far and few in between. Curious to see what others who'll try this leak will experience.

 
 
Posted by Syco54645 Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 691 days ago

hope that this fixes the "push r to reply" issue but i doubt it will.. that appears like it will just be a "feature" now...

 
 
Posted by theonlychoman Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 691 days ago

Yikes! Another Tour OS Leak?!?!?! Hopefully this is Big Red's version...LOL!

 
 
Posted by robotaholic Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 691 days ago

If you think i would even try out this leak you're insane. So far, every single leak I've tried had serious flaws with it like battery drains superfast, ringtones cause playing media to restart or just stop completely, complete restart due to being near a magnet (holster) - just tarded stuff- So far I'm on the Sprint official 5.0.0.484 for my Sprint tour and it definitely has been the best- so unless someone comes out and after a day of testing says it's the bomb - NO THX -

anyway good luck & report back if it's even as good as the 484 thx lol

sorry to rant

 
 
Posted by G.4 Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 691 days ago

I'm on sprint also and like you didn't want to stray away from the official OS. I downloaded .548 last week and it definitely blows the official release out of the water. To big reasons: super long battery life and wayyy faster internet!! GO for it!

 
 
Posted by robj75 Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 691 days ago

After installing .419 I thought my battery was draining faster. It turns on that the battery meter was just showing fully charged quicker, so when I unplugged it from the charger, it would seem to die faster than the previous OS.

I tried keeping my Tour plugged in for another 45-60 minutes after the charging was showing as "complete" and noticed a big difference. Therefore, OS .419 wasn't draining my battery faster, I was simply not keeping it plugged in as long as I used to. The battery charge level seems to be reporting incorrectly.

 
 
Posted by macaroni86 Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 691 days ago

LOL I just loaded .419 DV8.1 last night onto my tour and this comes out this afternoon.

Greetings everyone.

Will this work for beyond160 maybe anyone know? Anyone have any insight on this. This app is really needed for Verizon and Sprint customers. Thanks again.

I receieved this email from the Beyond160 Support team.
----------------------------------------------------------
Unfortunately, there's a bug in OS 5 that prevents Beyond160 from working.
The bug has been submitted and confirmed by RIM, but I don't know their ETA
for releasing the fix. They say they already have a target release, so I'm
hoping it is soon.

No idea about beyond160, but there's hardly a need for those types of apps with threaded texting. it's just as easy to just hit enter when you run out of characters and continue your text.

 
 
Posted by mqutub15 Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 691 days ago

What if you want to send a text out to more than 10 people, maybe a "mass" text as ppl like to call it. Beyond160 was amazing for that, you could send to an infitine number of ppl if you wanted. You can make a contact group but that just takes extra time and you might not want to send all those ppl the text message. I want beyond160 really badly.

 
 
Posted by thebrownguy01 Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 691 days ago

ahh true story sir...those apps do make mass texting better/easier. I can't say i'm much of a mass texter, but I can definitely see where the advantage lies.

 
 
Posted by mqutub15 Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 691 days ago

The verizon wireless release of the OS 5.0 for the tour will be 5.0.0.548. It's probably not going to be this one.

 
 
Posted by DolfanCole Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 691 days ago

I sure hope not. OS .548 still has the browser click bug (and related app switcher bug). I'm hoping that this version fixes those issues. Other than that issue (which is a really BIG issue), .548 has worked very well for me.

 
 
Posted by nkcbberry4148 Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 691 days ago

HATE the browser bug - so irritating.

Hopefully this will fix that. Downloading now...

 
 
Posted by alinvain Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 691 days ago

IS GONE!

 
 
Posted by broderick Friday, Apr 09, 2010 675 days ago

my browser is missing from my 9630 new is that u are refering to. can see it when trying app switch but cant move home.

 
 
Posted by bkraft4637 Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 691 days ago

How do you know this for sure? Have you read it somewhere? Could you provide us with a link?

 
 
Posted by mqutub15 Wednesday, Mar 24, 2010 691 days ago

I am pretty sure it will be 5.0.0.548, trust me on it, I suggest everyone waits till 3/30/2010. It will be release on that date for sure, Just wait 6 more days my friends :)

If the browser click problem exists on .548 then they will probably update to another build.

 
 
Posted by Lonman06 Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 691 days ago

This leak contains a new version of BBM as well. no more .57 its .65. Just thought I would let everyone know.

 
 
Posted by Nanadukes14 Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 691 days ago

Whats the difference?

 
 
Posted by jbresle Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 691 days ago

I hope this doesn't hurt the greatly improved battery life I got with .548.

 
 
Posted by jkpitcher Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 691 days ago

AM I the online one who has no idea what browser bug people are talking about with .548. I loaded it and haven't had a single concern with the browser or anything else. All setting for all my apps were there and didn't have to reload anything. Will read the reviews on this one before loading it. May just wait for Verizon official.

 
 
Posted by newsome Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 691 days ago

I didn't get .548 loaded on my phone yet (and now there's another leak out!), but from reading the posts, I *believe* that the browser bug is that when you click a link in the BB browser, it doesn't register, and you have to click it again.

I could be wrong... someone with .548 feel free to correct me.

 
 
Posted by nkcbberry4148 Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 691 days ago

More or less, this is correct. Slightly more in depth, but you have the gist of it.

 
 
Posted by DolfanCole Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 691 days ago

That's basically it. Sometimes it takes multiple clicks for it to finally register. This can be extremely annoying. The related issue is that the application icon highlighting within the open application switcher (pushing and holding the BB button) goes crazy while in the browser. If you open the application switcher and move the trackball, the highlighting is "spastic", like it's on steroids. As far as I know, this only happens when you're using the browser. These are two very big bugs in .548 that I hope has been addressed. AFAIK they were introduced in .530.

 
 
Posted by damnyankees Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 691 days ago

switcher bug appears to be fixed, but I'm still experiencing the browser bug (maybe less frequently than with .548, but it's still there).

 
 
Posted by jbresle Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 691 days ago

.548 was the first version I didn't have to reload a thing other than setting beryweather up again. As far as the browser, I didn't have any problems (admittedly I use BOLT primarily).

 
 
Posted by acmecocktail Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 691 days ago

This is getting exhausting...

 
 
Posted by dasDestruktion Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 691 days ago

Come on! It's fun! :p Exciting times...

 
 
Posted by damnyankees Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 691 days ago

installed. Everything looks pretty good, except it appears that the browser bug (if I understand correctly, is when you click on a link and nothing happens?) is not fixed. Then again, ever since Opera Mini 5 official came out, that's the only browser I've used. I think it's fantastic. The install went smoothly and really quickly. I don't see a new version of BBM like one commenter said. My theme/icons remained pretty much intact upon reload - just had to move around a few icons. Reboot time is sorta slow, like it was with .548. These [seemingly] weekly OS updates are getting exhausting!

 
 
Posted by sabbotage Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 691 days ago

does this build have the 3G icon?

 
 
Posted by damnyankees Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 691 days ago

on Verizon

 
 
Posted by brittanyalbano Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 691 days ago

How do you download it for your phone? I downloaded it onto my computer and it gave me these weird symbols and I can't download it on the phone

 
 
Posted by Vandeleigh Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 691 days ago

I'm still running a leaked 5.0.0.419. Is this worth the update, from any people that have gone from .419 to a later leak?

 
 
Posted by macaroni86 Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 691 days ago

I was still running .419 up to last night and decided I'd try driphter's dv8.1 hybrid. It's based on .419 and a lot of people have had a good experience with it that I read. I haven't used it enough to tell you my opinion, but you might wanna just check that out instead.

 
 
Posted by RedBank Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 691 days ago

I don't even have a Tour and get excited with the leak process!

I miss it since I have an EOL device (S1)

 
 
Posted by snokyguy Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 691 days ago

I'm up and running on it. it's solid so far. browser click issue still exists.. grrrr

lot faster than (IMHO) the 548 leak where the browser click came into play (minor annoyance). still has solid radio, though doesn't seem to be quite as strong as 548's which was uber powerfull (I used to get zero reception at my desk @ work until .484 and a hybrid on top of that started to give me 2 bars, then 548 gave me 3, now this one is jumping between 2 and 3 but mostly 2. still doesn't seem to be dropping as much. again though, only been on it 45min . i'll update more in an hour. berrybuzz works fine for those who always ask.

//edit 1.5 hours in: radio definately not as strong as 548 :( hybrid please?. took a while for the OS to settle down and now it's cruising fast. No 3g icon. was debating throwing the hybrid .cod file on it to change that. I'm on verizon. 2nd battery pull was slow. nothing beats 484 for startup time.3rd would probably be better though as I haven't done any app installs since the 2nd.

 
 
Posted by snokyguy Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 691 days ago

Vandeleigh: If you are happy with the .419 (a solid) release, I'd stay there until the verizon official should come out next week ahead of the PTT release on march 30.

 
 
Posted by chirmer Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 691 days ago

I'll just wait for the official release, as none of these leaks are any good to people on Macs :( Sigh.

 
 
Posted by 318sugarhill Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 691 days ago

That's what Boot Camp was invented for!

 
 
Posted by Nick Jacobs Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 691 days ago

Seems the browser still has the bug. Sometimes I click a link and it the cursor disappears. I can either move the trackball or click again and it appears. Then click the link again and works. Annoying.

I do have BBM 5.0.0.65 with this release. Unknown to me what is new/improved since I do not use BBM that often.

 
 
Posted by thereisnospoon Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 691 days ago

For those of you that appear tired of the leaked releases, the simple solution is to quit paying attention to them.

I'll give this one a shot. I have .548 now, and have the two mentioned problems of the task switcher spazzing and the Browser non-response to clicking. The other thing that I have noticed and haven't seen reference to is the response time of reading the media card when browsing files or viewing pictures. My 8330m blows through pictures and files, but starting with the "official" Sprint 5.whatever release it started reading the card super slow (that's after a few wipes/reformats) of the card and phone. It also seems to have a difficult time re-pairing the Plantronics Pro (again, no problem with the old m) but it isn't a big deal. Other than that, .548 seems pretty stable - holds a signal better, switches back to 1XEV, etc.

If they managed to not break much in this release and fix > 0 of the other few problems then it's worth it.

 
 
Posted by mike340t Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 691 days ago

PC users always get the latest... I'll stick with mt Sprint official unless this fixes the bug of when you have too many messages in a SMS thread and that thread freezes... Which I highly doubt.. I have not done a single bat pull since I installed the Sprint official 5.0 and is stable to me...

 
 
Posted by snokyguy Tuesday, Mar 23, 2010 691 days ago

dunno how to check my bbm version. in options/apps/core it says 5.0.0. :shrug:
