It is nice and runs faster.

Hey michaelalanjones, not sure if you've seen my article on the 5.0.0.238, - My Report On The BlackBerry Bold OS 5.0 « Kirrin Jones - if not could you check it out and see if there are any difference? I've decided not to bother doing another upgrade until the official release, as the .238 runs really great and I'm getting excellent performance from my device. But I'm just curious.

Thanks

Ya .238 runs amazingly, Im coming from 4.6 so the threaded SMS was great too. Overall cleaner UI and runs faster. Also, Ive found with earlier os's I only ever got up to 36MB of free memory after a reeboot. Now on .238 its at 48 MB after reeboot, saaaweeeeet!

The greatest thing I found was the improved Bluetooth voice command. I had no love with the earlier betas. There is a rebooting issue. Hopefully you can avoid that. It is giving me grief. Otherwise, the best OS yet.

I want to try this OS where would one find it to dl'ed?
Thank You

You can check the end of my article for a link to the 5.0.0.238 download. I do not have a working link for the .314 and I don't know of one now.

Thanks a bunch !

You're most welcome. Let me know how it turns out. You can leave me a comment on my site.

I have been using .314 for several days now and I must say that the overall performance of my 9000 is much more responsive. I have not come across any errors since using the new OS and all my current applications work fine. The threaded SMS and newer version of BBM are a much welcome change to my overall user experience.

MSN Messenger work on this OS..?

Its lookin sweet & wicked hella fast just tryin to get some apps workin
Do u have a link to .314 allankawakami ..?

Thanks poolbizz I found it..almost done

W0W is all I can say 100 times better then any other previous OS by far..!!!

I also like the .314 but I seem to be experiencing a small battery drain. I have had many different OS's on my bold and never a battery leak. Any suggestions. There are days when I think I may have to recharge in the middle of the day....Any suggestions at this point would be greatly appreciated...Thanks

i switched from 4.6.xxx to the 5.0.0.238 yesterday , and now my advanced bluetooth options(skip forward/backward, play/pause, etc.) no longer work with my motorokr s9HD headphones . it also doesn't seem to run regular webpages on wifi , but pandora does.

i'm going back to 4.6 simply because of this ..


am i the only one having these probs ?

Im experienceing the battery drain as well battery went from full charge to 1 yellow bar yesterday & I never made a single call...Also my favorite theme doesnt want to work properly...The bottom corner dock :(
Oh & my App world is gonzo..

How do you check this..?
Thanks..

I was saying that, IMO, 5.0 was better than 4.x. I especially love 5.0's "resizing of images within the send" functionality. It is so nice to be able to send only a 640x480 picture to people, if you like, instead of the 1600x1200 as before - it transmits faster, and if you are like my wife, who only has EDGE, smaller file sizes are better.

I don't know if .238 is better or worse than .314, but I still had to do the browser hack that is described somewhere here, that uses the CrackUtil program. If you didn't know, 5.0 was not showing the Internet Browser; it was only showing MediaNet. However, just follow those instructions, to the letter, and you will have the good browser (BB Internet Browser, instead of only MediaNet, which is cr@p) back. Plus the browser seems a lot faster, too - I don't know if it is just because the OS is better or what.

The only ones that popup are messages, BBM, Home Screen, Phone & Browser..

Nothing else is running...And my battery drained from 3/4 full to 1 yellow bar overnight

Hmmmm I dont really care cause this OS rocks and I aint goin back..lol but would be nice to find out why its draining itself..

Are there any links available to get the "new" OS?

scroll up.

Nice going to install the new OS in like 5 min.

Thanks

Is there a list of apps that work with 5.0?

hi all, I have just updated from 5.0.0.238 to 5.0.0.314 and have noticed a real slow down in the device, it keeps stopping with the egg timer, anyone else noticed this, also looks like 5.0.0.348 is out in the wild anyone tried it

How can I update my Bold without a service plan. When I want to upgrade it says..
"you need an active blackberry@-serviceaccount" I dont have one just bought the BB yesterday from a friend.

It runs nice & fast for me but battery drains pretty quick...
Quick Pull doesnt work with it keeps erroring out..

Ok I just found out something very annoying about this OS...Usually when I put my phone in the holster I hold the button to put in stand by mode...Well now when u get a call you cant just press the answer key you have to take it outa stand by mode then answer..I just missed 2 calls because of this..LOL D'oh

so can anyone confirm that most third party apps work with 5.0?

i.e.
Pocket day
Berry Weather
Dictionary
etc?

v5.0.0.238 VGood

I like this version as well. But, I cannot find BB Browser? Any suggestions?

I can't get the OS to load. My Bold keeps wanting to up date to .297 instead of the 5.0.0.314 I have tried to manually navigate to the file I want to load and it tells me that its not compatible with my phone.

I'm liking this too and wrote up a very brief couple of points on my experience in the Beta forum.

If interested, look Here in the Beta Forum

Cheers all,

ver. 5.0.0.348 is the best so far.
