Tour OS 5.0.0.732 

We posted on it earlier today, and it looks like the short wait is over for Tour 9630 users. OS 5.0.0.732 is available now via the wireless update option and for desktop install. Keep in mind you'll need to be running an official OS to be able to see the update on your device. You can check by going to Options > Advanced Options > Wireless Update to see if you're ready to roll. If you need a hand with the process, check out our BlackBerry 101 on upgrading your device software OTA. The download is also available as a desktop install here.

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?

 
 
Posted by QUIK LS1 Monday, Jun 14, 2010 607 days ago

Browser click issue is gone now

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...).

got that right. .607 for my phone (storm2) was a DISASTER

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

 
 
Posted by TannerSD398 Monday, Jun 14, 2010 607 days ago

It's Being Pushed To People In Diffrent Time Zones I'm Guessing, Just Connect Your Tour To Your PC Or Mac And Update The Software From There.

 
 
Posted by jkpitcher Monday, Jun 14, 2010 607 days ago

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.

 
 
Posted by jzajac Monday, Jun 14, 2010 607 days ago

I guess what I should have said was "my experience with every Tour OS". To wait so long for 5.0 and have it finally come with a couple of bugs, then to have an update come a few months later getting excited only to have more issues, requiring another official update days later... just very disappointing. The Tour was my first jump into smart phones and I love being in the BlackBerry world now, I just can only imagine how mad I would be if I was used to things working a bit more smooth before jumping to this phone/situation. My relative ignorance is bliss I assume. Either way, I'm hoping everybody is thrilled with this release and maybe I make the jump when I finally get home depending on the reviews.

The tour was also my first foray into smartphones. I am now on my 5th device after being run around since its almost initial relase and thats a story for another post. : p I just hope my phone finally starts working like it should.. my phone has been acting up lately and i saw on here last week that the 9650 got an update soo hopefully my phone will stop; shutting off randomly, the battery will last more than 5 hours after making a few calls and using gTalk, and now no more browser click issues!! its about time Tour users get some love.. GO CB!! :D

 
 
Posted by TannerSD398 Monday, Jun 14, 2010 607 days ago

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.

 
 
Posted by longhairbilly Monday, Jun 14, 2010 607 days ago

Downloading OTA now.

 
 
Posted by Pathtek4 Monday, Jun 14, 2010 607 days ago

Verizon coming through for me and you

 
 
Posted by joestedman Monday, Jun 14, 2010 607 days ago

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......

 
 
Posted by weinger Monday, Jun 14, 2010 607 days ago

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

 
 
Posted by neverdone05 Monday, Jun 14, 2010 607 days ago

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?

 
 
Posted by Kevin4unc Monday, Jun 14, 2010 607 days ago

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

 
 
Posted by jzajac Monday, Jun 14, 2010 607 days ago

Nope. I'm sure you pay enough for service as it is... just follow the steps from the BlackBerry Help/101 Lecture Series about upgrading your OS.

 
 
Posted by JiveMasterT Monday, Jun 14, 2010 607 days ago

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

 
 
Posted by wtom95831 Monday, Jun 14, 2010 607 days ago

50% downloaded so far OTA in Sacramento.

 
 
Posted by b_rad_blackberry Monday, Jun 14, 2010 607 days ago

About time the Tour gets some more love!

Here is a rapidshare link:

Posted by knsbb19 Monday, Jun 14, 2010 607 days ago

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!

 
 
Posted by G.4 Monday, Jun 14, 2010 607 days ago

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

 
 
Posted by xonehitterx Monday, Jun 14, 2010 607 days ago

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?

 
 
Posted by jzajac Monday, Jun 14, 2010 607 days ago

Yeah, for OTA you need to be on an official release. Desktop Manager will work for you though.

 
 
Posted by SuzisZoo Monday, Jun 14, 2010 607 days ago

I was running .643 as well. I downloaded the software from Smithmicro, then opened up Desktop Manager and connected my phone and it detected it. OTA didn't come up for me either.

 
 
Posted by jackmei2 Monday, Jun 14, 2010 606 days ago

I had .643 on my Tour and DM detected the update and it was able to update my tour to .732

 
 
Posted by NegativeCreep Monday, Jun 14, 2010 607 days ago

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.

 
 
Posted by StreetDocRN Monday, Jun 14, 2010 607 days ago

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.

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

 
 
Posted by jrphonesls Tuesday, Jun 15, 2010 606 days ago

This might be a "Mr Obvious" post to some, but GPS issues could be because you don't have the location setting on. Options > Advanced Options > GPS > GPS Services: Location On, Location Aiding: Enabled.

 
 
Posted by dkear Monday, Jun 14, 2010 607 days ago

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

 
 
Posted by schwedler28 Monday, Jun 14, 2010 607 days ago

How do you figure its a memory hog? I gained memory! How did you do the update? I wiped my tour with bbsak first! If you did an ota update then you can go back into the options to where you check for updates push your blackberry button and delete your old os that's saved to your phone! My browser is super fast now and my signal is way better! So far this has been a great os for me

 
 
Posted by nineleft Monday, Jun 14, 2010 607 days ago

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.

 
 
Posted by bdunkley Monday, Jun 14, 2010 607 days ago

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

 
 
Posted by nineleft Monday, Jun 14, 2010 607 days ago

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

 
 
Posted by wtom95831 Monday, Jun 14, 2010 607 days ago

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.

 
 
Posted by Gberez Tuesday, Jun 15, 2010 606 days ago

i wish..... not gonna happen, we are so far behind on os's we could only dream about a 4g bb anytime soon.

 
 
Posted by dabomb4097 Monday, Jun 14, 2010 607 days ago

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

 
 
Posted by mr26ss Monday, Jun 14, 2010 607 days ago

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

 
 
Posted by bdawg41785 Monday, Jun 14, 2010 607 days ago

how do i know what one im currently using

 
 
Posted by Doc211114 Monday, Jun 14, 2010 607 days ago

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

 
 
Posted by Pathtek4 Monday, Jun 14, 2010 606 days ago

ID10T Error most likely

 
 
Posted by Grndlvl Tuesday, Jun 15, 2010 606 days ago

I hate those errors

 
 
Posted by Hyperplex Monday, Jun 14, 2010 607 days ago

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.

 
 
Posted by Hyperplex Monday, Jun 14, 2010 606 days ago

Phone was not bricked, updated was completed, however the DM did not restore things properly. It failed repeatedly to restore my Address Book database (thank you GoogleSync for having my back), some applications were not restored or were restored with OLD versions that should not have been present in the backup made during the update, and my own custom theme was somehow reverted to an older version. I am still making sure all of my registrations are functional.

Sorry, RIM, but even with advancements in the OS, installing a pushed system update should never be such an intrusive, intense procedure. Once July 14 hits, I'm gone.
