Dam when reGoing to see someting for the
Torch lol

 
 
Posted by bahandi Monday, Dec 13, 2010 528 days ago

I'm a 9700 owner and with proper optimization and app management, OS .380 blows my wife's Torch running .337 our of the water. I wonder how much more improved .418 is since .380 works fine with me.

Let's hope, for the sake of all Torch owners, something like .380 gets released for them.

Where's the love for us 9650 users? :(

I know some .418 builds are out there, but leak gods, please give us a nice , early Christmas present!

 
 
Posted by phinx404 Monday, Dec 13, 2010 528 days ago

why the hell are you using on a newly leaked 9700 thread about your 9650? its not as though they will just leak if for you because you can't read and post on the wrong forum.

 
 
Posted by PynkFloydd Monday, Dec 13, 2010 528 days ago

Probably because the 9700 users kept pooping all over the 9650 threads demanding that an OS6 leak be released for their phones (before the 9700 OS6 leak)...

 
 
Posted by carlosfeliciano Monday, Dec 13, 2010 528 days ago

I know what you mean.. I'm running .333 on my 9650 and I'm sooo waiting for some love here!

What about battery life? The past versions decrease form 40% to 0% in seconds!!!

 
 
Posted by drzmvpx809 Monday, Dec 13, 2010 528 days ago

I agree. They need to fix the battery life when nearing 0%. It just drops all together when it gets to around 30%.

Posted by theKHMERboy Monday, Dec 13, 2010 528 days ago

this is stupid the bold have an update all the time what about the pearl 3G i only see it have one update of the os6 and thats it and rim is really taking their time to release the os 6 for all previous bb which i really think they are not gonna do

 
 
Posted by jsn204 Monday, Dec 13, 2010 528 days ago

Posted by theKHMERboy Monday, Dec 13, 2010 528 days ago

yea i know i just got it and thanks... cause the pearl 3G didnt have an update for the longest time and i wanna see if this one is better then the previous OS 6 leak

 
 
Posted by coreyk86 Wednesday, Dec 15, 2010 526 days ago

Maybe if the pearl didn't suck so much, it would get more leaks :)

Copy Paste from Add Book...FIXED. Seems pretty faster too. Not sure bout the mem leak yet

 
 
Posted by Alex_59 Monday, Dec 13, 2010 528 days ago

memory leak is not fixed ..

 
 
Posted by XWolf Monday, Dec 13, 2010 528 days ago

I have never suffered the dreadded memory leak, but then I have MemoryBooster on auto.

This particular leak much smoother than .380. Battery life excellent.

 
 
Posted by bahandi Monday, Dec 13, 2010 528 days ago

But how do you know battery life is exellent in such a short period of time? Also, have you ever brought your battery to 20-40% and experienced the sudden drop to zero on previous builds?

 
 
Posted by sirfer Monday, Dec 13, 2010 528 days ago

Battery from 40% to 0% is no happen?

Has anyone cited a new leak for the Bold 9650?

 
 
Posted by diruocco Monday, Dec 13, 2010 528 days ago

i am having some problems with this update
i have updated to all the past os 6 leaks with no problems and this one is giving me problems. it doesnt detect an the update when i open dp after i downloaded the update to my computer. however when i delete the vendor file it detects it. when i go to install it, it tells me that there are one or more modules missing.

 
 
Posted by audiocon Tuesday, Dec 14, 2010 527 days ago

Use AppLoader instead and you will not have the problem...

 
 
Posted by zuckas Tuesday, Dec 14, 2010 527 days ago

AppLoader - C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader\Loader.exe

 
 
Posted by diruocco Monday, Dec 13, 2010 528 days ago

one or more modules cannot be resolved?????
ANY HELPP

 
 
Posted by diruocco Monday, Dec 13, 2010 528 days ago

nvm using app loader the second time seemed to work

 
 
Posted by naderalmaleh Monday, Dec 13, 2010 528 days ago

It took me two times as well with a battery pull and using the /nojvm parameter

 
 
Posted by appledeuce Monday, Dec 13, 2010 528 days ago

1. Memory leak still there
2. I was unable to restore my BBM contacts. Desktop Manager would read the backup file, but nothing appears in the BBM contacts afterwards. :( Good thing I have link all BBM peeps with the address book contacts so I have the PINs.
3. The invisible cursor has been fixed.

 
 
Posted by ciangai Monday, Dec 13, 2010 528 days ago

Does anyone know if with this fw is possible to set only on 2G phones in brand 3 (eng)? I noticed that in all the beta 6 is this problem with my brand 3 ITA 9700. You see only two settings: 3G and 2G-3G ... while the fw 5 ... I have a third 2G! : (

 
 
Posted by mackemdave Tuesday, Dec 14, 2010 527 days ago

I am having exactly the same problem on the 3 network, there is no 2G only option and am desperate to get this option again.

 
 
Posted by hedgecore44 Monday, Dec 13, 2010 528 days ago

Yep battery problem is still there for sure. 30-40% right down to %10 just now, dammit... Also, still not able to go to options by pressing the blackberry button in some programs (Opera and Amaze) if there is something copied into the "clipbooard." Does anyone know how to clear the "clipboard" without restarting the phone!? That would be great.

 
 
Posted by asetiawan Friday, Dec 17, 2010 524 days ago

Yes, the battery problem evebt worst then 380, but the leaks are lesser. OS still running smoother then 380. Planning to downgrade (still doubting).

 
 
Posted by appledeuce Monday, Dec 13, 2010 528 days ago

Is it just me or is Shrink-a-OS not working suddenly? I placed the Shrink-a-S exe file in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Shared\Loader Files\9700M_v6.0.0.418_P6.6.0.105 folder. but it doesn't delete the stuff i want it to delete! :(

Posted by jack.hoang Monday, Dec 13, 2010 528 days ago

does this have east asian language installed? please reply! thanks

 
 
Posted by henghs Tuesday, Dec 14, 2010 527 days ago

jack,

I don't think so. A fast scan over the "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Shared\Loader Files\9700M_v6.0.0.418_P6.6.0.105\Java" and you can see that those asian language CODs are not there.

I'm using the asian supported 380 version in which I chose the option to display (not input) chinese and thai characters.

net_rim_bb_facebook_resource_zh 1.9.0.20

I also notice that there's a chinese version of the facebook (1.9.0.20)above in 380 whereas in 418 is reported to be having a newer facebook version 1.9.0.23.

If you're planning on using 418 I suggest you OMMIT the idea of adding Chinese support manually.

Stick to whatever given first while waiting for the newer Asian leaks.

 
 
Posted by audiocon Monday, Dec 13, 2010 528 days ago

This Leak is finally a good one. There is cursor in the SMS, the browser behaves nicely, the memory leak is very small, whatsapp finally works well, the phone is not "looking" for more memory continuosly as before, battery behaved the whole day as in OS 5.0

Om the bad side, there is no cursor in BBM and Facebook on the web recognizes the phone as a Pearl 3G.

This Leak is worthy...

 
 
Posted by Statehouse Tuesday, Dec 14, 2010 527 days ago

This post resembles my thoughts on this leak thus far.

The facebook issue for me came about in .380 and was really frustrating, especially for looking at pictures.

I actually just ended up downloading the blackberry app for facebook, and have been somewhat impressed with it.

 
 
Posted by alaviarin Tuesday, Dec 14, 2010 528 days ago

After downloading I realized that:

1.) Memory doesn't go down that fast anymore for me anymore. For me it's 1/2MB an hour and a half
2.) SMS cursor fixed
3.) Browser works faster, but sometimes get the "Web page is too big" message
4.) Everything works snappier and faster
5.) If you had the issue with BBm where your contacts display pictures didn't show, right after I downloaded .418, all my contact's pictures came back

 
 
Posted by fulukso Tuesday, Dec 14, 2010 528 days ago

what is the memory left after installing?

 
 
Posted by audiocon Tuesday, Dec 14, 2010 527 days ago

After a clean install (no extra apps loaded) you get about 102 Mb. After the phone started working for 10 hours, reloaded my Data and installed Uber Twitter, Whatsapp and Facebook, I got about 80 MB left of Memory.

I deleted the CODs for the launch video and unnecessary fonts and Shrinked the OS using BBHybrids tool.

 
 
Posted by henghs Tuesday, Dec 14, 2010 527 days ago

audiocon, can you tell us which COD is the launch video?

 
 
Posted by audiocon Tuesday, Dec 14, 2010 527 days ago

Of Course the COD for the startup video = net_rim_bb_mediaOTA_toolkit_360x400_9700_01, net_rim_bb_mediaOTA_480x360_03_c

Check this page: http://forums.crackberry.com/f95/deleting-cods-9700-os6-545525/index17.h...

and look for user Insomnia9669, very good tips regarding deleting CODs...

Installed! The OS 6 is awesome on my 9700! This is my first jump to os 6 and i must say that i don't intend on going back. The universal search is great and the os is much snappier. Although, sometimes i can't seem to find the cursor, but that doesn't happen often enough to gripe about.

 
 
Posted by jginel Tuesday, Dec 14, 2010 527 days ago

my only significant problem - as in the previous leak, .380 - is my mobile network connection option. i work from home and have it set for "wi fi preferred," but when i leave the house, it will not detect the mobil network so i have to remember to set it manually and the reverse happens when returning home; i have to manually set it to wi fi only.

it's bit of a pain but i am still keeping this new leak on my 9700. i'm sure subsequent leaks will finally address the issue unless anyone here has resolved the issue on their own handset or on someone else's. until then, it's like having a new device so i will wait patiently for rim's "dakota" or something better. not crazy about the torch and will not leave t-mo. i'm hoping that they will come out with something similar to the droid pro but in a 9000 form factor. for me, that will be the perfect device and oh yeah: make sure it's avail on t-mo because phone calls over uma is PRICELESS!!

Go to AppLoader - C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader\Loader.exe execute the program and install OS6 from AppLoader, make sure you delete the vendor file...(also make sure you executed the OS6 file)

 
 
Posted by romeo0569 Tuesday, Dec 14, 2010 527 days ago

desktop manager will not work. you need to use apploader. which is located in c: > program files > common files > research in motion > apploader

install the new OS.delete the vendor.xml file and then launch apploader.exe

The little things make me smile...
Latest version of Chatmosphere now perfect on this leak - had slow starting issues on .380
Chat for Facebook PRO perfect replacement for Beejive for fb - would never have tried it but for the fact bj was still buggy on this, glad I did now.
Facebook app no longer jittery on this build.
MemoryBooster now flawless on this build - sometimes lagged before.

I had a strange problem after installing this leak. I can no more select the contacts from my contact list. I can neither select, nor edit the contacts..the middle mouse, and the two keys left to that will do nothing.
When I pull back battery and restart, the keys work, but after 10 mts, they are disabled again. Did any body get this problem? I went back to the last leak.

Hi, I am running it on MTN network in South Africa. Its working perfectly for now. There is only one bug that I could pick up. First there is no cursor in BB messenger or in Facebook. As for battery life not sure yet as my battery is still at 80%. Will let it run and see if the battery drops when it reaches 40%. So to all the South Africans it is safe to say its working perfectly.

Ps. Will run it on the Vodacom network tonight and see if it perfect still.

 
 
Posted by jacklindsay Wednesday, Dec 15, 2010 527 days ago

i've been running this for a few days now, and much prefering it over .316 (or what ever the last one leaked on here was). on the previous leaked release, my battery would just about last 2 days(without bluetooth and wifi). on this one, i've had wifi on for 36 hours, and still reports 65% battery. :)

2. Google Talk and AIM don't have the javanull error, and actually log into accounts. Google talk also shows up in Social Feeds as well

3. T-Mobile MyAccount app now works

will post more as I find.

Posted by salvllirai Wednesday, Dec 15, 2010 526 days ago

This version seems more responsive and snappier than the previous .380 version. The cursor in sms is back. Still has some memory leak issues though. The thing that I liked about the .380 version was the fact that it came with east asian language support while this version does not. Other than that, I'm loving this version.

I installed this a few days ago and this is my first version of OS6 that I have played about with, so far awesome much improved over 5. Battery life is better but I haven't tried running it low to see what happens. Memory leak was quite pronounced to start with but has settled down and now is very minimal. I am having issues with bluetooth connecting to my stereo gateway at times though.

For T-mobile users do you still have to delete those 2 vendor files for it to work on the network?

Hi Guys,
Thanks for all the good feedback.
I will give a try to the .418 today. Have anyone gotten any issue upgrading to the OS6 using a company blackberry (Enterprise).
Thanks

Four leaks for OS 6 on 9700 and SAME Issues persist. Does RIM actually boot up the device before getting these out there to us beta testers? I guess that is our job.

1. Memory leak equally prevalent.
2. Still limited menu support (Copy and paste) in 3rd party apps. Still cannot send an invite using the LinkedIn App. No menu support.
3. Wells Fargo app still get white screen. (maybe that is a WF issue).
4. Camera...still no geotagging. Just keeps searching for my location.
5. Cannot use send location functionality with text messaging. Can never find my location.

Other GPS apps find me just fine...Google Maps, AT&T Nav., AP Mobile, etc. Just not the apps that RIm produced.

Updated Facebook and Twitter in this release, though I cannot say what functionality has been added. Facebook has definite scroll issues and the curser disappears. Often cannot select and click on a feed. I have the TIME magazine app and it now has some definite scrolling issues. Jumps from top to bottom of article. Other apps have this issue too.

Browser still struggles with memory issues. Tabbed browsing would be nice if I could actually have two tabs open at the same time without the thing telling me that my device is low on memory and I need to close tabs.

Fixes:
SMS Curser is back. Whoo-hoo! One thing that is fixed. All the other things are STILL Broken!
Maybe next release? Common' RIM, I know you can do it!!

I am happy with this leak so far. The browser is responsive and haven't had any memory issues. The battery falling to red line is still a problem but not as much as previously. They still haven't got 2g only in the connections though which would be nice and which is on the torch.

There is one very important feature that the bold OS6 doesn't have and it makes it and every other OS6 device useless for business. I'll never buy for this reason a bold 9780 becouse it has no use for business; The feature that I'm talking about is this:
Contacts universal search: when you have a business, advertising in may case, and when you have over 1000 contacts on your phone, mostly supplyers, contractors, material manufactureres, designers etc, you can't remember all of them by name or company! That is why there is an important option to add a NOTE field for each contact, where I can specify the key elements that interest me about that contact (for example John from XYZ Print Inc. has good prices on this materials: mesh, banner, 300g paper and all outdoor materials). I can make a note for this contact with these key words: outdoor, print, mesh. In this way, if I want to search my contacts agenda for a good mesh supplier, I'll type search MESH and all the contacts that manufacture this material will apear in results based on the note filed. This is the most usefull feature on a smartphone in my opinion: NOKIA E71 has it, E72, Nokia Communicator has it, Blackberyy 9700 has it with OS.5
Now, this search feature doesn't exist in OS6 and this makes the device useles in my opinion.
PS: Universal Search for blackberry OS6 isn't universal !!!!

Opened App Loader and deleted 'Vendor'.

then opened, shared, Loader, and then 418.

i don't see Tmobile cods, files are only one page long, not at all the numerous files i saw in 344.

did i do something wrong?

EDIT/UPDATE> Found all the CODs under 'Java', is it me or is this release more layered? I seem to have found all of 418, scattered about, am I wrong that other than the 'Vendor', nothing else needs eliminated, such as the 'tmobile theme cod'?

My menu button in SocialScope and Ubertwitter isn't working on .418. Other than that, it is smooth. Has anyone encountered the "menu" button not working on third party apps?

I'm waiting for an intelligent posting here, about installing this leak. So far one decent post about deleting videos. Hey you smoo's, stop whining, post something relevant for cripes sake! Never seen such useless people!

If you installed 418 and have an issue, don't waste everyones time with a whiner post! Put all your detail up so that perhaps a common theme can be discovered.

For example what provider, country used in. Exactly what did you delete or didn't delete but others did. Did you install manually or use any third party software to help you. Too bad these boards can't be moderated and the moron posts be removed. Took me 3 days of sorting through all the idiot posting on the 344 leak to obtain useful info, 17 pages of mostly stupid, idiot whining. In three pages the details to install would have fit.

344 worked perfectly for me, no issues at all, why other phones had issues is curious, if the phones are all made the same hardware wise then if problems must be coming from the country of use as well as or in addition to the cellular provider.

Wouldn't it be great if folks made mention of these little details than all could see that hey, those poor folks using such and such cellular provide cannot install or those in such and such country. OR, folks using such and such APPS have a messed up phone.

We can only assume the phone are basically identical hardware wise except for different cellular frequencies?

WOW! This leak is really stable and nice looking. I have a Bold 9700 T-Mobile USA. I didn't have to delete any files or anything! Nice sweeping menus, podcast option, SWEET!

I'm still on the first leak, cannot play a mp4 movie without it being jerky, stops and stops like it was streaming but it is on mem.card. Anyone got any info on playing movies, I tried BB and 3rd party player with same results.

Coming from 5.0.0.714 downloaded 6.0.0.418 today and installed on my Bold 9700 TMobile USA (unlocked), currently in Germany on O2. Not a single issue with this release as far as I can tell. Feels rather snappy compared to the old 5.something. Will play around with it tonight, let me know if you have any questions.

 
 
Posted by mawil1013 Thursday, Jan 20, 2011 490 days ago

I'm on 9700/T-Mobile/USA, with OS6 memory is 75MB, with OS5 memory is 125MB. I have an 8 MB memory stick.

When I play MP4 movies on OS6 the picture starts and stops from lack of memory. I proved this by dropping back to OS5.

Has anyone deleted files off OS6 to the extreme, thereby increasing memory?

I don't use BBM, BB Maps, English only, for example. My phone is for private use only, I don't have business email, etc.

Anyway I could use some help from someone. I hope to delete enough so I can play movies in OS6.
