Official OS 5.0.0.732 now available from Verizon Wireless for the Tour 9630

Been waiting for this one!

Already started teh OTA update. Should be up and running within the next hour or two. Can't wait to check it out.

I saw a lot hitting on this in the previous post but no one had an answer since the update wasn't released. Anyone that has updated: has browser click been fixed?

Good job Verizon! One more to go! Yeah, Hi, remember that flop called the Storm... Yeah, could still use a little work here. =)

I'm still running the .643 leak from a while back... I hope you all have nothing but good things to say about this OS so that I have some confidence in giving it a try. Verizon scares me with every official OS they come out with. Seems like every time that Big Red drops one, it ends up broken (a-thank you...).

I am running legit .591 yet wireless update says there are no updates available. Should I follow the link instead?

The browser click was the only issue I had with the last verizon os update. Everything else worked just fine for me. To say every verizon os update is broken is really far from the truth in my opinion. It is not like other companies release os updates that don't have issue as well.

I Hope The Camera On This Official OS Is As Great As The Camera On .662, I Downgraded Back To .419 Because .662 Has Poor Signal Strength On My Tour, And The Battery Was Horrible As Well.

Downloading OTA now.

Verizon coming through for me and you

Gesh, they F'ed Up the browser click etc etc etc.

Looks like this upgrade benefits Push 2 Talk....

Hope they improve the poor RF, poor battery and the stupid SMS screen
layout.

One more disappointment won't kill me......

So far browser click issue is gone!!! Keeping my fingers crossed hope it's gone forever

After reading the pdf file about what this update fixes, I saw it mostly only fixes Japanese text and PTT. Does it fix anything else?

Is there a charge to update my tour with this new thing?

Not showing up in the desktop manager for Mac. I guess I'll have to check it later...

50% downloaded so far OTA in Sacramento.

About time the Tour gets some more love!

Here is a rapidshare link:

This would fix the facebook problem! I'm out running errands now, but will start the download when I get home. Having the browser click issue fixed will be super!

Took awhile but will def report back on my findings... let's see if this one is all that verizon claims it will be.

I'm currently running .643 and I can't get the OTA update check to find new updates. Do I have to have an official version to get OTA or what?

Could it be? Have they finally fixed the browser click issue?

The network is terribly slow right now, but at the moment it seems that the browser click issue has been solved.

They've also pushed the V Cast icon to the phone. Memory improved slightly. No noticeable speed difference.

Hi,

You can also download the OS at http://vzw.smithmicro.com/blackberry/ and it has the multi language version for DL also. Installing now on my Tour.

Doc

GPS signals are still an issue, at least for me. Have to reboot my Tour daily if I want GPS to find a satellite.

The browser click seems to be fixed but there is nothing really in this for me. This thing is a huge memory hog too!

Staying positive that this will fix browser click issue and SMS layout, battery drain, memory leaks ect . . . ect . . . ect. . . Again staying positive during the update process.

almost finished downloading. finally us tour owners get an official OS that doesn't work against us.

That's their plan. They keep giving us updates that take more memory until we upgrade to the Bold. j/k Again staying positive.

We all know that we will get a 4G Blackberry from Verizon within the next 8 months. This is just a patch to the current OS.

No more browser click issue. No other problems to report. Seems like a good build.

Is there anyway to get a all-language version for this new OS?!

how do i know what one im currently using

i will be more than happy to sell someone a Tour 9630 that is in really great shape. The only issue with the phone is that software really sucks. I will gladly refresh device to original OS 4.7 which seems to be the only OS that actually worked on the phone.

Man, if all the blackberries are having these problems with the radio and GPS not working like mine, RIM is bout to go under fast. This Tour is my very Blackberry and I loved it until I updated the OS these past 3 times. Now, I think I may never own another one because it seems like they can't get anything right. What is the point of having the largest and most reliable network and the radio in the phone keeps shutting down and GPS can't get a lock on my position.

after i send a txt the last letter, lets say i put a ? at the end ov my txt. it starts the next txt with a V

Using Mac Desktop Manager, backed everything up, began update....

RELOAD SOFTWARE 507 appears....phone resets.....RELOAD SOFTWARE 507....phone resets....applications start to load.

Fingers crossed that this actually works. This will hopefully be my last BlackBerry software update, as I'm planning to jump to the Droid ship next month.

Wanted to know if any other carrier downloaded this update.

thank you for not leaving us original tour owners out verizon! fixed everything- browser click and freezing when unlocking- phone is fast and smooth!

Just did the D/L for .732. Looks like the browser click issue is solved! No problems in the native BB browser. I don't use PTT, so there's no comment there.

I did the D/L via DM, it reset my phone to MY settings, I only had to clean up two icons. Obviously this wasn't an entire wipe and reinstall, but it was all over in about 30 minutes.

will this work for us sprint users... welll at least the os..not the ptt..

This update went without a hitch from the previous OS update by VZW. I'm still thumbing away looking for differences.

The only issue I had and have (which happens to every BB) is the "hourglass" at the most inopportune times. :-) I think this upgrade was a success though. IMHO

It seems to have fixed the browser click issue for me and I had it bad. Couldn't even use the browser lately. I had to DL this and install via Desktop Manager.

I have been through the entire phone and it seems to be running just fine.

Worth the download. Fixed my browser click issue.

Only thing I hate is have to reregister my Berrybuzz lol

i have a 9650 (mine) from Sprint and a 9630 (employers) Verizon. I have DM installed for my 9650 on both my desktop and laptop can I use the DM for both.(newbie)

Browser click is fixed. AND most importantly for me the voicemail SMS bug is fixed- when you had a sms thread and if the person left you a voicemail it would bug the thread...good update and fix.

the only issue ive continued to see with leaked and official verizon os' is that when you click on a contact to sms them. your default message box flashes then it goes to the sms. its very weird. a much older older official os i was using didnt have this, im suprised verizon or RIM isnt aware of this???

The tour came out only a few months after the storm. There are now both storm 2 and tour 2. Yet the original tour has more updates than the storm. every OS has so far sucked on storm. OS 4 the browser always said requesting script. OS 5 solved that but now we can't rewind videos played while streaming. Come on RIM. Can't you make and release another OS for storm that solves EVERY problem for a blackberry.

Downloaded OS, tried to use alt + shift + delete to restart the phone and it no longer works. Anyone else having this problem?

Can anyone who's suffered the Calendar bug (takes forever to display/make changes to agenda view UNLESS "show free time" is switched to "yes") verify that this update provides a fix?

SO FAR SO GOOD ITS RUNNING GREAT ON MY SPRINT TOUR.THE LOAD TIME IS BETTER AND THE BROWSER CLICK ISSUE IS GONE FROM WHAT I SEE,BUT IN DO TIME WE WILL SEE.

This update solved the BB App World icon issue for me. Hope it helps some of you.

Haven't had very good boot up times since .419. So how is it on this new version?

Cheers

Hallelujah browser click issues are over. Haven't noticed anything else really that different but browser click was the biggest annoyance.

Everything seems to be running great with an OTA load...except now I get a server error every time I try to search for something on the native browser. Batt pull unsuccessful. pfttt.....

is anyone else having a problem with clicking the trackball. I just upgraded, and now i have to push really hard on the track ball in order for it to respond. I though at first it was just some upgrade glitch and did a reboot, but its still there.

I've read in a few of the forums that after the last update when recieving a mms with audio it plays everytime a text comes through, you make a call etc. I'm currently downloading the update now and hope this issue is fixed. It kind of sucks to have to reboot everytime someone sends me a funny file.

I thought I had a good idea of what was going on. I have owned my BB for about 2 years now. My upgrade is complete and life is good. My million dollar question......what the heck is (was) the browser click issue?? I guess it was fixed, but what was the problem? Thanks in advance!

Hey I'm all for progress and being up on state of the art. But how come the developers of the updates don't share with us what has changed or should I say been improved?

Has anyone noticed if this upgrade modified the bluetooth volume. The 1st upgrade lowered the volume for all bluetooth devices. Any information on this would be great. Thanks

After being shipped my 5th Blackberry Tour in under a year (the replacement actually showed up with a broken trackball), Verizon threw in the towel on the Tour and sent me a Storm 2. I have been a huge Blackberry fan for years, until the Tour. This is by far the worst phone they have ever made (it is amazing when it works, but it just doesn't work). So far not too impressed with the Storm 2 either. I hate to say it, but RIM you have lost your way and I may have to drink the kool-aid and follow the pack to the Android market. Very sad to see quality of the greatest smart phone manufacturer diminish so quickly. Instead of having to constantly update the phone hoping the latest OS will allow me to click on links, use the trackball, or even open SMS's, why don't you just get the build and OS right from the start?

Verizon issues an OS update, which is nice, but it hoses all or your settings and you have to reload and re-register all of your applications! WTF!! What a pain in the @$$!!!

Just installed on my Telus Tour and all seems to be running smoothly..

If this has been fixed, please let us all know.

Did it last night off desktop manager. Seemed pretty smooth, but didn't take care of the issue I have with certain themes and a java error when trying to use the browser. Wish that would be fixed. I like the big icons.

Click issue is gone!! Its about freak'n time!!!! I can finally use my phone again. No more therapy for me!!

if this solves nothing else, it will let me get back on an "official VZ" release.

Great build and no browser click issue...yes!

I used the Mac Blackberry DM to update to the new release, and my phone has yet to be resuscitated after 90 minutes of restarts and restores. At one point there was a lull and my Tour failed to boot and just said "Reload Software 507", meanwhile DM said "waiting for the device to restart...". A couple battery pulls later and a force-quit of DM, it restored my phone from a back up.

Then, after clearing several calendar sync conflicts the calendar and contacts will sync without error messages. (Though I'll believe it when I see it - before this update events created on BB weren't synced to iCal). HOWEVER, tasks now gives the following error message:
"The Tasks database cannot be accessed for synchronization. For help resolving this issue, refer to KB19454 in the BlackBerry Desktop Manager Knowledge Base."

WTF

If you have a Mac and ever get the chance to ditch RIM, do it.

Bottom line:
Mac users, you should wait on this one until you have some time to kill and want to be incommunicado.

Did this update fix the standby issue where pushing the Mute key would not put the Tour in standby mode like it should?

What about the battery.

Has anyone noticed improvement to the battery life.

Someone told me that it's common for the Tour to leak battery.

I did my update last night via the DM. I had no problems with the update, I did although get that error "Reload Software 507", but it went away very quickly. I love the fact that the Browser Click issue has been resolved, and I personally have seen an improvement in my battery life.

Slinging still doesn't work perfect on this version. I wish I wasn't the one to always post this first, because then I would upgrade it if I knew that my slingbox would work right.
It's the same issues as the other 5.0 versions, it connects fine, but when you try to change channels it goes blank or even disconnect. It seems there is some issue with the flow of traffic inbound and outbound on the tour that prevents it from being able to both at the same time.
Where's the Blackberry love from slingbox?? Can they do some R&D to fix this??

I downloaded the update, proceed to install it, everything starts to backup and after that finishes it says that the "rollback is complete" and then nothing happens, it goes right back to the download update screen. I've attempted to install the update twice with no luck and even restarted my tour to see if that would help and it didn't. Anyone else experiencing this?

version .624. When I check for updates under wireless update it says there are no updates available. Any suggestions? I also downloaded the 103mb file to my desktop, but i am not sure what to do with it from there. Any assistance is greatly appreciated!! Thanks!!

To all who are having issues with this install: Don't worry! Obama and his government will soon own and run Big Red, RIM, and everything else. He'll fix it. He promises!

I noticed duplicate calendar entries after the update, however a battery pull resolved the duplicates.

iheartradio runs like greased lightning. So far it looks like s good OS. I have not noticed a difference in the radio signal compared to .662

Barry

So far the new OS works great! Slightly snappier, small memory increase, and thank heavens no more browser click issue!!!

I have seen a good improvement in battery life with this OS!

Any update on the bluetooth volume? Has it been increased?

1. Voicemail alerts in your Text message folder show up again

2. Bluetooth volume seems to have increased, but I won't promise results for others

**EDIT** This also corrects the bluetooth connectivity problem many of us have had getting the Tour to see your device.

3. Battery life seems the same to me, I wish I could say improvements. But battery life on my Tour has never, ever, been any good, regardless of the OS build installed.

4. Boot up times are averaging about 5 minutes with my Tour. To some, this will be an improvement and for some of you that have terrific times, this will piss you off if you install.

5. For those of you on BES...for some reason, the enterprise activation didn't start automatically when I installed, hence I had to get a new password. For those of you like me that own your own business, that means $$ for passwords. Just an FYI.

6. BROWSER CLICK ISSUE IS STILL PRESENT ON MY TOUR. No change or fix for me. I use Bolt Browser for 90% of my web surfing anyways, so it's not a major issue for me.

To sum it up, I'm fine with this. Nothing earth shattering, but for those that receive a lot of calls during the day and the small white vm notification wasn't doing it for you, you should be happy. It would be nice for a change that an official OS update would actually fix known issues, but I guess we shouldn't y'know..expect things like that.

I've never done an OTA or 'traditional' upgrade of my Tour OS. I always backup, wipe clean, install the OS, install apps, restore data, etc.

If I use the OTA, or desktop manager, is the process simpler? Will it preserve existing apps and their data?

Sorry for 'post-jacking'.

Thanks

I took out the VENDER.XML file and I updated a leaked OS for my BB tour for Verizon.

Do I have to get the VENDER file back in order to download this or what should I do? Because I dont have an OTA download.

I have updated my US Cellular Tour with this update and everything has gone pretty smooth. I am at 110 mb of memory as I installed the App Store update. The OS feels quick. Battery life feels ok nothing too big that I have noticed and reboots are in the 3 - 4 minute range. I did notice the fix on the browser click which seems to run a bit quicker too. Overall I am happy.

I did the update using DM. when it was done i had like 5 or 6 duplicates of every email and cannot delete them. my phone also takes about 30 min to restart now when i do battery pulls! has this happened to anyone else?

how can i fix it?

thanks

Upgraded with .732 and it caused my calendar to sync with my bb group calendar. Spent an hour on the phone with RIM and Verizon. The fix was to downgrade my OS.
