uhhh ok i got it to work somehow but b4 i install it, it says that once installnig im gooin to have to activate it to recieve and send messages... how do i do that?

My Ringtones still seems to be messing up with this one. It's actually the only thing wrong I've found.

I'm wondering if this is similar to my last version's Bluetooth problem. Maybe changing how the profiles database is set up? So restoring old settings not being compatible? I'll try clearing my profiles when I get home and start from scratch. Hopefully that is the issue! I'll post the results.

Works great on my 8900. Very fast, all apps run 10x better, browser is a lot faster, EDGE works good. Minor UI upgrades. Best build so far.

Anyone know when/if we're gonna see .314 for 8520

WAT HAPPENED TO MY GAMES AND APPSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

how do i get my stuff back???

On the 9000, it reboots when it wants... and same wallapper problem as well.. hmm

ok everything is fine for me now except

bug: wifi internet definately slower than b4

Thanks MrKyoo. Were you able to run IdeaMatrix on other OS5 builds as well or is this the first one where it works.

If I can recall correctly, I've used it on .130, .238 and .314. I use IdeaMatrix daily so it is important for me to have this app working.

Thanks for the quick response sir. Have you tried ToDoMatrix by any chance on this build.
Or anyone else please. Thanks guys.

wiping means something like formatting the phone, and restore with new OS BBSAK is the application to handle wiping and restore....

did anyone else lose visual voice mail? everything else seems to work great.

My phone cod keeps failing.... I've had more overall problems (really just annoyances) so far with this over the previous version. Hope a really clean version is the one release to the public.

I am getting tons of "uncaught exception net_rim_bb_phone_app is not responding" is anyone else?

I have been running this for 48 hours now with no problems. I downloaded over .238 and used Crackmem to get rid of what I did not want. Battery usage is better than .238, although available memory is a little lower. I did not have to do browser fix for AT&T as it seemed to transer over from .238. All applications were working but no Visual Voice Mail at all. I copied vvm.alx file and the vvm cods from Java folder in .238 to .314 and VVM is working like a charm. Browser seems to be snappier and new icon colors are nice. This is the best OS I have used to date. I am sure an official release is just around the corner.

I did, I tried installing it from a previous build, still no luck.

Running this OS for over 24 hrs now and no problems so far. The best os built yet

links pulled. Damnit!

Excellent OS.

Running well for more than 24 hrs. No random restarts.

Well Done RIM.

Oh really? I have first reastart after 24h :p

Got it up and running this weekend. So far everything has worked smashingly. All apps running. The only thing I can't seem to get running is the contact sync with my gmail, the email app keeps taking me to the old bis site and all that shows is the sync deleted items. The weird part is the T-Mobile website shows it.

been running this OS for a few days now. everything is awesome! no restarts no problems. everything seems MUCH snappier and more efficiently responsive

Been running this OS on my Bold 9000 for the past few days....Great OS...a few bugs still but I'm sure they will be fixed in coming builds...no random reboots, battery life if great, memory is ok...had one weird call quality issue, but other than that...perfect

I installed over 5.0.0.238 without wiping. I've been running .314 for about three days. So far, it's pretty good. I get fewer random resets--almost none in fact. I still get non-random (i.e., predictable) resets under certain conditions, such as scrolling while zoomed in the BB browser. This was a problem even under OS 4.6.xxx. Certain web pages with a lot of stuff in them just seem to cause the device to fail.

The problem of distortion in the Voice Notes app, which was present in .238, is fixed.

The "more" feature in mail is erratic. Sometimes the "more" option doesn't even appear in the menu, when it should be there. Other times, it's there, but selecting "more" doesn't bring the rest of the message in until you back out of the message and then re-load it. This definitely needs fixing.

There is a lag when taking the BB out of the OEM leather case. It takes a second or two before it will accept password entry.

OperaMini loads okay for me (I had the OS 5 version with .238) but once I'm in it, it doesn't work properly. Pressing '5' to zoom, for example, isn't working. I haven't played with it too much yet, though, so I may just be doing something wrong.

My general impression is that this release is more stable than .238, with some bugs squashed, and a few new ones.

Ubizmo

I hope so, cause 238 BLOWS.

Anyone have any issues with Visual Voicemail? Does it work with this version? I went to edit the vvm alx file and it was blank.

.238 Straight to update!

I updated to the latest version and noticed that when I hit the BB menu button the home screen image disappears and I get some white/gray background which is present even when i enter folders.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Ya, there are no VVM files in 5.0.0.314. You have to manually install them from 5.0.0.238 to get VVM to work.

Been running for a couple days now and it's been pretty solid. I have however noticed a couple of problems.

1. I've had a few random restarts.

2. When I change the wallpaper the homescreen is changed. However, when I press the BB button and go to the list of all my icons it still shows the previous or default wallpaper.

3. When I try to install a theme from my SD Card or Device Memory I get an error: "The server indicates you either have insufficient access rights or the file is too large for the requested operation". I've installed themes using this method before and haven't had any problems.

4. In the previous OS I had the option to select how many thumbnails per row I had in the pictures folder. I can't seem to find that anywhere on 314.

Any suggestions?

Ad1. Me too but not so much Today only one

Ad2. many ppl has this issue, im not coz i dont change wall's

Ad3. Try to use FileScout and install it via this app ;)

Ad4. This option is missing in *.314, also like separate/combine message box

We must wait for next Beta

Hello All,

I lost BBM 5.0 during the upgrade. I went to reload off back up and it was grayed out. Did I lose all my contacts etc...and have to start over?

Please help if able.

-Jeff

Just install new BBM from BlackBerry mobile page. If you have backup (remote or on Memory Card) you should'nt have any problems with it.

Thanks for the quick reply. I used FileScout and I can install from my SD Card again!! As for the rest of the issues I guess I'll just have to deal with them until a new OS is available. Thanks again!

I did a battery pull and a message came up saying BBM was archived. Do you want to restore?

I clicked restore and now it shows up under applications>add-ons, but I can't find it anywhere else.

Ideas?

Update: I deleted and reinstalled the app and still missing.

HELP!

After years of doing these upgrades without a problem, I have hit my first hitch ever.

I'm running the upgrade without doing a wipe beforehand. The loader loaded everything and the device seemed to be rebooting after a nice BlackBerry screen with a progress bar finished reaching the end. Another reboot started, and now for the last 2 hours, my 8900 is still showing teh T-Mobile boot-up screen.

Can anyone provide any help? What should I do next? Should I interrupt this process? Expert advice needed please.

Thanks in advance.

I love this OS so far, but I found one small issue today. I am on a BES and if someone sends me a calendar invite, it shows up as a normal email, and i don't have the menu options to ACCEPT, which means I can't add it to my calendar. Has anyone else noticed this?

Could someone be so kind as to zip up the vvm files? I deleted my copy of .238 and I can't find it again.

TIA.

-Shawn

No Visual Voice mail

How would one go about doing that?
