Has the BBM cursor bug and lagging issues been fixed???....let us know ppl!
stinckyfoot Mar 1, 2011 at 12:57 pm
No, but they do have it fixed in the latest beta of BBM from blackberry.com/beta. I am running it now. It's nice to have a cursor. Should be official soon.
edwardagyeman Mar 6, 2011 at 10:10 pm
what version of BBM are you running beta? i'm on 5.0.1.41
dbowe4415 Mar 1, 2011 at 10:59 am
I'm pretty sure that the past issues from previous OS 6 builds have not been taken care of.
That being said, I'll wait to update my 9700. I'd like to see feedback from other users first.
willyboy6 Mar 1, 2011 at 11:00 am
It's alright Adam. The one that leaked yesterday was corrupted. Hopefully this one was uploaded untouched and works for everybody else.
willyboy6 Mar 1, 2011 at 11:10 am
Whoops wrong post! Sorry!
The_Adventist Mar 1, 2011 at 11:15 am
Hopefully Rogers will make this official sometime. I would like to do an official over the air update just once. LOL
womby Mar 1, 2011 at 11:53 am
haha seriously. always wanted to get excited to see if that ever worked for me. never has. :(
mnazrin91 Mar 1, 2011 at 11:22 am
Great.
SC457 Mar 1, 2011 at 2:09 pm
still running the leaked version on 9700, anybody know if it's worth downloading the official release?
mssca Mar 1, 2011 at 12:06 pm
Now I am running the leaked .448 and I am on Telus. It is good to have the official because I made complain about their coverage and if they find out I am not using an OS that is official, they may blame the issues they have on me.
Good to be official.
cracked1up Mar 1, 2011 at 12:12 pm
I updated my 9700 a few days ago using the official version and i love this new OS!!!
Scrolling is even much faster. Make sure to back up your device first!! it does take everything back to defaults however it replaces all you backed up data. What i mean is that you will have to re-hide some apps and redue your background.
LOVE IT !
enjoy
mssca Mar 1, 2011 at 12:21 pm
All the Telus apps can be deleted before install. You can download the offical OS directly from BB site and then either manually or using a program like BBBoss you can delete .cods files to reduce the size of the OS.
stinckyfoot Mar 1, 2011 at 12:55 pm
If you enjoy your visual voice mail, then don't install this. Just like the leaked version, there is NO visual VM!!! WTF!
theKHMERboy Mar 1, 2011 at 1:22 pm
pearl 3g gets the latest updates for everything... and its good to see telus have an official release now hope it will come soon for rogers when they do just have the pearl get updates with every other blackberry devices
makaveli28 Mar 1, 2011 at 1:28 pm
Rogers is always last, Even Wind with 250K in subscribers updated the bold 9700 before Rogers.
dbowe4415 Mar 1, 2011 at 1:41 pm
Couldn't resist the urge; I'm going to start downloading this build momentarily. I'll post my findings as soon as it loads onto my 9700.
Charger83 Mar 1, 2011 at 1:43 pm
When is 480. Coming out ?I been having this OS for like 3 weeks!
badong_chris Mar 1, 2011 at 2:17 pm
Just installed it...seems to run ok thus far...was up and running in about 25mins with the install. I don't have that many apps loaded and have bout 61mb left. I did notice that the ring tones have changed and that it there are actual wallpapers preloaded with this OS build.
Anyone else find that all the old ringtones have disappeared?
makaveli28 Mar 1, 2011 at 2:55 pm
Seems good, I used BBSAK to install it and it seemed to remove the vendor.xml file since I am on rogers. Everything seems to work and it still says Rogers at the top. Not sure how I like this OS6 yet. All is working my ringtones, emails, BBM contacts, texts etc were all restored. It says I have 56003840 bytes left.
DXBLouie Mar 1, 2011 at 3:32 pm
yay.. now again there's gonna be 300 retards posting questions asking if this is better than the leaked 6.0.0.461
stinckyfoot Mar 1, 2011 at 4:30 pm
. . . is this better than .461? hahaha!
mssca Mar 1, 2011 at 4:39 pm
I am on Telus.... is this better than leaked .461? Leaked .461 didn't have VM files.... how about this one?
chrisjd Mar 1, 2011 at 4:51 pm
im on telus and i cant find the bbappworld
jwhoops Mar 1, 2011 at 6:17 pm
The "both the Curve 9300 and Bold 9780" is a typo, right? I'm guessing it's supposed to be "9700" because no updates for the 9780 are to be had!... Yet. Oh, and because of the post title.
joevilla7 Mar 1, 2011 at 6:49 pm
still waiting for rogers... *sigh*
thanethepain Mar 1, 2011 at 7:15 pm
first os6 update for me, and, it's nice so far.
Oilersboy Mar 1, 2011 at 8:36 pm
Bell did release OS 6.0 for bold 9700 and Curve 9300 last Feb 20 , so I got my bold 9700 updated with bell.
BENZ_O Mar 1, 2011 at 10:09 pm
still memory leak
runlsd Mar 1, 2011 at 10:27 pm
will Telus update the 9780 any time soon? sure hope so.
dbowe4415 Mar 1, 2011 at 10:44 pm
The infamous memory leak is still a problem, but it doesn't seem to be as big of an issue as it was on prior leaks. My web browser hasn't crashed yet, but we'll see what happens by the time I shut my phone off for the night. The scrolling and typing have both been noticeably quicker on this build, something that I'm very pleased about.
Also, the cursor disappearing in BBM is still happening. This doesn't bother me as much, but it would be nice to have the problem fixed.
Overall, this is the most solid OS 6 build I've used so far. My dependence on universal search has waned considerably, so the change from my OS 5.0 usage hasn't been too great this go-around. While I'm beginning to doubt that a "perfect" version of OS 6.0 for the 9700 will ever release, I can at least say that this latest version is a definite upgrade over past leaked and official versions.
josh05 Mar 1, 2011 at 10:58 pm
First, can I shrink this Os even if I have the leaked version of this software already installed? Second, can this version support engadget's website w/o closing down?
Jumani Mar 2, 2011 at 4:07 am
when i installed leaked version 6.0.0.461 after few hours i lost my text icon and all msgs......then i have to go back to 6.0.0.448 very bad experience with 6.0.0.461 leak..... hope in this official build its fixed...finger crossed
SC457 Mar 2, 2011 at 12:04 pm
This build seems a lot better then the leaked version. Smoother and faster all around. Web browsing seems faster and hasn't crashed yet as of installing it last night.
onbberry Mar 2, 2011 at 9:30 pm
memory went down from 82 to 54-55...had to reinstall some apps, even app world.
social feeds is kind of nice...will take some time to get use to it and OS6
ps. froze on me two hours after the upgrade :)
onbberry Mar 3, 2011 at 1:39 pm
love it! even with memory leak the phone runs smother than eva...BBM no issues. the only -ve for me is the way picture folders are set up, with previous OS it was easier mo manage and move your pictures.

I installed this yesterday, I'm on another carrier but after deleting the vendor file it loaded fine. Seems to work beautifully. This is my first OS 6, I was waiting for an official version to upgrade. Everything seems to work a little faster, clean transitions but the new features of OS 6 will take some getting used to. It loaded in about 20 minutes, no freezing and the only app I had to reinstall after upgrade was Blackberry app world. Everything else works great. Happy with it so far.
dlampshire Mar 3, 2011 at 10:56 am
Just plugged my 9700 in to the desktop manager this morning and FINALLY received the official OS 6 update .448 for Rogers .... it's about time!
theKHMERboy Mar 3, 2011 at 3:33 pm
there is an official release for the os6 for rogers... what about the pearl 9100?
mrf50 Mar 3, 2011 at 8:49 pm
This update sucks ... It loads very quickly but it killed my BIS service like someone else reported in the forum ...
went back to .448
sarajay Mar 3, 2011 at 9:58 pm
Just upgraded to OS 6 for Rogers (Bold 2 9700). Working fine. No hangups so far. Loving it! :)
theKHMERboy Mar 4, 2011 at 10:40 pm
they have the update for rogers too damn to bad they dont have for the pearl 3G
deanplays Mar 3, 2011 at 10:41 pm
Hello Everyone,
I downloaded the 6.0.0.641 update, but when I hook my 9700 up to my laptop and launch the Desktop Manager, it never shows the updated OS for update. Does anyone have any suggestions? I could sure use the help. :o)
amlbuton Mar 4, 2011 at 12:38 pm
Delete vendor.xml in Apploader folder
aa25007 Mar 8, 2011 at 7:22 pm
Does the memory leak still exist in the official OS? I previously install leaked versions and it work but so much memory leak. And I try using BBSAK, and it kill my Bold, luckly t-mobile gave me a replacement but I haven't try to update to a leaked till I saw this release. So answer to my problems and concerns. I really want to be back on OS 6 on my Bold 9700. ASAP.
zens Mar 9, 2011 at 12:16 am
flash camera not show
first time i take a photo. it is works
next time i take a photo. it is not works
aa25007 Mar 9, 2011 at 4:04 pm
I took the risk, I install it this morning, On OS 5 it had 60 mb left of app memory now it had 27 mb. I had to reinstall app world. It can't run some apps so I have to reinstall them as well. I took out the battery once to reload so will see.
CrazyJo82 Mar 10, 2011 at 3:33 pm
i think i might downgrade to rogers' version this weekend... i've ran 461 for 5 days now. since the last battery pull (monday?) i've gone from 60mb down to 38mb... everytime i look at the memory, it gets smaller and smaller...
the OS is fine, i had some clocks but that was after the inital install, everything has been quite smooth.
the cursor thing is annoying... it's in bbm, msn, emails and some apps. For example, mapleleafs app, when i'm trying to read a story, i scroll, it goes STRAIGHT to the bottom... i can't read the article at all.
davwall Mar 19, 2011 at 10:28 pm
Rogers really>>> c'mon with the updates wud ya! when other carriers have them out first makes you look pretty lame. Curve 3G update please.
davwall Mar 28, 2011 at 6:52 pm
installed the telus version...runs great but no social feeds application found anywhere...not able to install it either..so went back to version 5. not sure why rogers is holding back when all the other companies are rocking the upgrades. do i switch to telus/bell naaaah..their signal strength is terrible compared to rogers. elevator doors close you lose contact with the world LOL
young keezy#CB Apr 14, 2011 at 7:07 pm
guys i have a curve 3g and i recently upgraded from os5 to os6.0.0.448 but my trackpad has been playing the fool. When ever i scroll down it would go back up and its rally getting snoying because i cant text or anytthing anymore. Do you guys think this version os6.0.0461 would solve the problem?
