Awesome review. I just got finished posting a screenshot, step by step guide to installing OS for the Storm on Tmobile using App Loader. This is a great list of features for the 5. This update is cool and it is so bad at the same time.
This just reminds me why Apple is Apple and everything else is a product of Microshaft not ensuring their software works before putting it out. I have several issues with the 5. The way text messages are now stored is not functional. It puts all of the messages from the same sender into one location and it mashes them all together.
You can not start a new message and keep just that correspondence. Now it puts all of the texts that were made with that one person in one, so when you go to review that particular stream of replies it is just added to all the others.
New text messages or the ones listed at the top are frozen and can not be opened intermittently. Not more than anything This is just annoying. You get a new text and can not open it. I found if I start a new text string not reply with that persons name it will then open the new message … so stupid. The other is the way the voice call feature is hanging up now.
It does not give the sound when waiting for a reply as before, and only randomly will actually call a number after it says it is calling. The last issue is with Device Memory. Applications will not function or the phone will just freeze like a lame PC computer. Then it will say it is due to the Device Memory being full. I only have like 4 applications that I chose to download, and today it said the application memory was full and asked if I wanted to delete the following applications.
I want to like this phone and it does have some great features when it works. But after seeing and using the I-Phones that my friends have it looks like a worthless little imitator of another kick butt Apple product. I would not have gotten this but Verizon does not have the I-phone and the coverage of Verizon is so much better than att that I had to stick with them … thus the Blackberry.
I updated my phone after i was forced to by my phone itself so i thought what the hell. After it taking like hlf an hour! How can i unlock my blackberry storm And how to get a country code for blackberry storm plz send me it hurp…. Your email address will not be published. Notify me of follow-up comments by email.

When swiping down the virtual keyboard in an MMS message the send and save draft icons did not appear as expected. When viewing an SMS there was no simple way to call the current user. Now the user can select the number from the Callback Number field or from the message body and call that number from the pop up menu.
The delete prior function has the unwanted side-effect of triggering the compose email screen. The user cannot configure their profile settings to increase the number of alerts when being notified of an event such as incoming SMS or email. Previous software versions did not allow the user to increase the count of notifications i. Beep 5 times when when I get an email and beep 3 times when I get an sms. In this software, this is now allowed with counts from When trying to set a home screen background of a certain resolution more specifically a resolution matching either the width or the height of the native resolution of the LCD it may have appeared as a black screen.
Intermittently, when streaming a video while doing a handover to 2G on a 3G network the video would stop playing.

When moving out of coverage your device display for no coverage may have been inconsistent. During voice calls, your device may have reset on a rare occasion. On some rare occasions, the device may reset on its own during a voice call or while idle. Eric on October 27, at am. Great, now how about release 5. Sparky on October 27, at am.
I love this new OS. It is very active and perky! Freeda Deeda on October 27, at pm. Have you figured out the hotmail problem yet. And does your storm dim when you rotate. We know that there are OS 5 leaks that have come out for both devices, however, they both definitely have some quirks that still need to be worked out.
If you decide to try out one of these leaked Storm OS updates, come back and let us know how it works for you on your device. Someone post updates if its worth it!!! Sparky… in short, the tools send bug reports back to RIM.
They are not necessary to load this leaked OS onto your device, and it would be beneficial for the sake of not having extra files on your handset that you delete the RIM tools before installation. The files must be uninstalled before loading the new OS onto your handset. I have loaded the leak and find it to be faster in quite a few areas. The applications seem to play nice with this leak. My memory on does not seem to be a dramatic improvement over , and like the memory does not seem to be leaking down at a noticeable rate.
Scrolling through pictures in the media file is a lot smoother. The browser does seem to load pages faster than My browser also seems to refresh and load images and text a lot faster while scrolling. Overall, is an improvement over , but it is not dramatically better. That statement is made with the understanding that is still a very solid build if you choose not to move forward to the latest OS.
I hope I was able to answer most of your questions. If I wanted to go from. Thats normally my biggest concern since it is the only thing out of my control. Lastly, it seems like a version 5 may be out soon…maybe is good enough to keep around until then? Or maybe if I had , I could wait? Sparky… My understanding of BES is limited.
My Storm is a personal handset, and I would not want to encourage you to download an OS that may cause problems with work especially on my incomplete info of BES. I am not sure whether or not this leak would require reactivation.
A quick search on google or yahoo may yield you a better answer than I can provide. As for the question concerning. It is only mediocre when compared to , , or the 5. It is still a reliable and safe OS build. When looking back on the speculation of release dates for the update, there was a huge window of when it should have been released and when it actually was released.
It is possible that we may be waiting on the official 5. It is also very possible that an official 5. In short, not one person knows when the next official OS will be released. In summary, it is a gamble when updating to these leaks, but the risks can be reduced greatly by acquiring as much information as possible.
Good luck in your endeavors. What about to or to ? I am not going to 5. Sparky… My apologies, I misunderstood your question. I think you would be very satisfied if you decided to upgrade to from The build is an official build that was released by a carrier south of the border. I had been running with little to no issues for quite a while now. I was very satisfied with it, and would have been content running until the 5. You will definitely notice an improvement over your current OS.
Upon upgrading, your memory leak issues should no longer be a problem. I still use QuickPull with the automatic daily schedule as an added measure to ensure my device is running in great shape. I have not experienced any crashes so far with , but only time will tell.
I am also not hearing of any issues among my colleagues. I think you would be very happy with upgrading to from where you are right now. The improvements you are looking for should be found in both the and builds, but I would personally recommend the build. I can definitely tell the difference with this new build.
I had many problems getting it rebuilt after the upgrade. Had some flaky null pointer exceptions so I wanted to wipe and restart. Deleting multiple messages at one time hangs, sometimes deleting goes through, but the message is still there. I feel like I need to wipe and start over to see if it fixes the problem. I guess it could be the theme being used, but errors with messaging are enough to try a downgrade, and upgrade again.
Other htan that, the system is awesome for memory, speed and everything else you can wish for. I have just upgraded the OS on my Storm to 4. Hello, Ive been battling for some time with the blackberry os for my Storm. Im with Telus and have a BB
