Cool! Been waiting for them to update!

QL obsoletes a dozen stand-alone apps. Having it on your BB improves an OS that needs some help.

Am I just retarded or is the camera mute function now gone ?
iSin Aug 21, 2011 at 3:39 pm
The camera mute function doesnt work since OS6 was released due to some API's missing or something.
Btw, is this update only for OS7 devices? i havent got the update alert yet, neither on my CB Store acc or inside the app
tyler_zyco Aug 21, 2011 at 4:05 pm
me neither on OS6.. That's what I assume is that its only for OS7 devices.
Flip4Bytes Aug 21, 2011 at 4:31 pm
I'm on OS7 and it still wont let me update yet :/
JunkieXP Aug 22, 2011 at 4:04 am
It'll work on OS6! But that's only for one Shot ;). So it does not operate like it's supposed to ;).

I was waiting to hear this - I haven't gotten my 9850 yet; but I wasn't sure how I'd use it without this app!
rafiks Aug 21, 2011 at 4:16 pm
Awesome ! Hope they fix these bug on my phone . Been missing ql menu on foursquare .
orangepit Aug 21, 2011 at 5:15 pm
Just got it.
App is great!! I don't know how I managed without it so far.

Camera mute worked fine on my os6 9700
pistolpetefan23 Aug 21, 2011 at 5:57 pm
CrackBerry App Store on my device still shows as 3.7.3.
Sanch0 Aug 21, 2011 at 6:36 pm
So it looks like OS 6 and below are no longer supported :-(
eDIT: Crackberry store still says its supported. Hmm
CheetahAce Aug 21, 2011 at 6:47 pm
os6 is supported. says so in this article too.

I just replaced Jared Company's "One Touch Launcher" with this app, and Quick Launch is AMAZINGLY better - integrates nicely, and I can edit how apps appear in the list, changing both their name & order of appearance. Plus I was able to delete a bunch of other, single-purpose apps like quick pull. SUPER deal all around. Cannot wait to install it on my 9850 (assuming VZW ever releases it...)

Maybe we will have to pay for this update ?
tyler_zyco Aug 21, 2011 at 10:18 pm
Oh god, I hope not.. I have a lot of respect for NikkiSoft. They've never gone all "BeBuzz major upgrade" on us.
AFriske Aug 21, 2011 at 10:05 pm
Ql is the best app I have. Knowing that it is there for OS7, makes upgrading to a new BB an easier choice.
mssca Aug 21, 2011 at 10:11 pm
How do I know which version of the OS I have right now? Also is this NOT a free upgrade?
tyler_zyco Aug 21, 2011 at 10:37 pm
Go to options > device > about device versions: and it will say (versionX.X.X.XXX, Platform X.X.X.XXX). The v is your OS.
If you have QuickLaunch installed it's as easy as pressing your convenience key and clicking "Device Info" ;) (If you added that entry)
If the upgrade costs $, that wouldn't make sense since there is no major change log...
EDIT: If you meant version of QuickLaunch, go to application management.
Reubechs Aug 21, 2011 at 10:35 pm
Still showing as 3.7.3 in MobiHand.
CheetahAce Aug 21, 2011 at 11:22 pm
It IS A FREE UPGRADE.
This release is for OS 7 devices only.
Other OS's have version 3.7.x of QuickLaunch
mssca Aug 21, 2011 at 11:46 pm
My 9900 is OS 7 and I don't see an upgrade on my crackberry app store. Why is that? I still have 3.7.x
jiggaman2g Aug 22, 2011 at 8:17 am
Same here, I guess we have to wait for them to update.
tryfe Aug 22, 2011 at 8:37 am
App World still shows 3.0; no updates for App World?? How will I get this version on my 9930 then???
nikonwhore Aug 22, 2011 at 10:57 am
Yup ditto for me, App World still has no updates for me. I am wondering if QuickLaunch or QuickWeather are the cause for my twice a day battery charging. They are too sweet in use for me to discard, but it will be great to get a BB 7 optimized version soon.
CheetahAce Aug 22, 2011 at 12:11 pm
those apps don't drain your battery. definitely not.
if you have an os 7 device and it doesnt show up in your mobihand/cb account then that means you have the wrong device/os selected in you account
Yosaki Aug 22, 2011 at 2:44 pm
3.8.4 was just released.
dcnats Aug 30, 2011 at 11:47 am
Where?
DarshOne Aug 22, 2011 at 3:02 pm
Upgraded to a 9930 and now my keycode won't work
jakarta Aug 24, 2011 at 5:10 am
Still listed as version 3.0 on appworld (???) and 3.7.3 on CB, using Torch 9800 OS.6.X
Swamp55 Sep 10, 2011 at 11:09 pm
I am unable to see any version above 3.7.3 on my CB account, even though I have upgraded to a 9850 device. Anybody know when this will be fixed?
