I was having the exact same problem when I tried to download it thru DM. I downloaded it using the direct link and the instructions at the top of this thread and it worked fine for me. This is the best upgrade so far IMO. I too will be holding off a few weeks on the Storm2 now

I tried downloadig using the direct file and trying to bypass DM but it still will not work. Very frustrating to say the least!

I've never had an issue tethering my Storm on Windows 7, no matter which OS, released or beta I've used.

Hi, I love the upgrade but I can't get facebook on my phone. It says its installed but it won't appear anywhere (and it is not hidden). Anyone else have this problem? I got my twitter and bbm back just missing facebook and then my upgrade would be perfect!!!!!

audiokat · 10-27-2009, 10:34 PM

Ok I got messenger to work finally. I had to delete it like 3 times. I kept installing it and it kept not showing up. Oh well it's fine now. Someone else mentioned the screen brightness changing even though auto brightness is off. That's my only big issue left.

I still love it.

audiokat · 10-27-2009, 10:36 PM

Two other things that so far are great.

1. Applications seem to quit just by pressing the end button. How novel an idea. Before you had to click the BB button and go to close/exit or whatever. That was such a pain.

2. Battery life seems to be quite a bit better as well.

mmorici · **Os 5.0.0.328 -** 10-28-2009, 03:30 AM

I have to say, I've been using the leaked version of .328 for a few weeks now and absolutely love it. Major thing I've noticed is scrolling speed and speed off accessing applications. Glad Verizon finally came out with the official release. Just curious if there are any differences in the leaked version vs the official release, I'm downloading it now so we will see.

hohoho43 · 10-28-2009, 03:33 AM

I have an unlocked storm with T-mobile service. After I upgraded the OS to V5.0, I can't make any phone call, but receiving and sending e-mail or message was fine. I have upgraded and downgraded two times......it makes me frustrated........Is this V5.0 is for 3G carrier only? T-mobile is 2G.

Not all apps close when clicking the end button in this release, and I'm glad they don't. I have some apps I want to continue running and I think it's more of a pain to click the menu button, then switch app, to send them to the background.

There's never a difference in OS releases IF they have the same release numbers... .328 is .328 regardless which carrier or if a leaked version. If there was a difference, then the release numbers would change.

No, it doesn't matter about the 3G vs 2G on Tmobile, that would not affect the phone service.

I had a little trouble going through the DM to load this new OS, but after about an hour with a tech from Verizon (who had me go through the App Loader on the BB site), I got it loaded up and all errors resolved. Very simple process, but time consuming as this OS has so many modules.

Played with it some before going to bed last night, and then a little on the way to work this morning. I love it. Switching between applications is snappy, keyboard is more responsive. All apps that I had before had to be downloaded again, but they are all working with 5.0 and maybe even a little better. The only drawback for me is that I lost the use of many of the cool themes that I had since they were developed for 4.7. However, the default "Precision" theme comes with a today option in which messages, missed calls, and upcoming appointments can be displayed on the home screen.

Overall, I am very happy with this new OS, and actually can't believe that Verizon got it out before the official release of the Storm II. According to the tech that I talked to, this OS is the same one that the Storm II will be coming with, so other than the Wi-Fi, better screen, and upgrade in on-board memory, the two are very similar. I think I will be able to wait a little while before I upgrade to the Storm II now!

ernhrts3n8 · 10-28-2009, 11:21 AM

I just spoke with a Verizon Tech person and told them the problem that I was having with fatal errors and all. He stated to me that some people are having many problems with this version and to wait until the next fix comes out in a couple of weeks. I hope he is right about a fix coming out in a couple of weeks....I don't think I will hold my breat waiting....lol.

Sounds to me like the rep was trying to get you off the phone. He didn't tell you the check's in the mail too, did he

No, he actually said if it was him he would wait. He said if I my phone was working well with the OS it has now, then I should wait a little bit. He did give me the website to go to instead of going through DM (BlackBerryÂ® Software Updates), I may try this direct link and see if it loads properly for me and then go back and get the updates later.

stevied04 · 10-28-2009, 02:56 PM

anyone know if you can use the APPLEBERRY THEME on the new OS. i downloaded the new OS for the S1 this morning and when i used the APPLE BERRY THEME it was glitching really bad. so i am now with the old BB Theme...kinda boring but its wroking...love the new OS i just want to use my old Theme!

zero7404 · **OS:** 5.0.0.328

so it's been 2 days now...so far everything's running smooth.....next best thing to getting the storm 2 i guess would be this OS on the 9530

i rebooted my device once so far, Storm Level Pro was updated and now works with .328...

Sorry I posted the wrong version # of the leaked it was .230. I have noticed some differences in the two versions. Leaked .230 seems to me a little faster than .328 for some reason, but overall I'm happy with it

I've noticed that all the themes seem to glitch under .328 when turned horizontal. On mine I have 2 white bars on either side of the screen

Can't get QuickPull to work with this OS.

Here's the error when I run QuickPull:

I have all the permissions set to ALLOW, except for the one shown here that is grayed out so I can't adjust it:

...I am so glad I waited for the official Verizon OS. I've had it installed for about 30 minutes & I agree ...it is like an entirely different phone! Completely fabulous!!!

boone92 · 10-28-2009, 10:58 PM

I'm typing this from a coffee shop as my house internet is down (and I don't have the USB cord with me) so I have 2 questions:

1) Can I install this update wirelessly like the past update?

2) If not, can I download the plug in, install the drivers, then when I get home plug my phone in and install the update? Or does the backup/update process require an internet connection?

DemonSlayer · **OS:** 5.0.0.328

I LOVE THE NEW VERSION!!! It so so awesomely fast!!! and retains funtionality. I have a question though if anyone can answer it, I know on a Vs5 thirdpart distributor that was released about a month ago, that hindered camera functionality, one of the trade offs was an SMS threader, if i remember reading correctly somewhere in one of the forums. This way the service provider won't be able to charge for multiple text messages if not on an unlimited plan. Does anyone know with the new layout is this function is possible with this version. I noticed the SMS follows a different format and this may be possible? Thanks.

djxedxd · 10-29-2009, 03:10 AM

Two questions
Has anyone else had problems with opera5 not loading pageS ?it gets the hole progress bar filled up then nuthing and a little circle spins in the tab box forever.
and I thought this prob was OS related but its still here from my last OS .167 when in portrait keyboard SureType it does all kinds of stupid stuff when I type from not clicking the correct button ,to not clicking at all and also just bringing up stuff nowhere near the button I try to hit. But when in landscape mode which I'm typing in now all is well but when in portrait still with this new OS it seems to perticullarly not like the top left of the screen but I now its not my screen itself cause I have no probs now.
Anyone? Heh lol

I never had luck with that site as I'm connected to BES. I would say that if you can grab the latest version, do so. I think the VZ rep is blowin' smoke; the OS has (for me) proven stable and has improvements that make it worth the move.

zero7404 · **OS:** 5.0.0.328

the phone's been behaving weird in the phone function....keypad is slow to hide/bring up. also got a sticky key tone when i pressed a number (as if i was holding down the number)...

i'm only on my 1st reboot in 3 days since i loaded it.....i'll reboot again to see if this improves

I finally was able to download the new OS.....all I can say is WOW!!!! What a diference. I am having some issues with some of the themes and have contacted the support department of my themes and they said that Plasmic will be coming out with upgrades to incorporate the 5.0 OS for the themes.

cryckman · **Speaker Issue with 328 -** 10-30-2009, 07:47 AM

Anyone else notice a speaker issue once upgrading to 328. I upgraded from 151 and love everything about the new OS, but my ringers/alerts, and even music now sound like they are blaring through the speaker even though it's not loud... it's that fuzzy electronic sound liked you'd get if you've turned the volume up too high on a speaker. But as I said, the sound is NOT actually loud... just distorted?

Anyone else?

Any suggestions?

I experienced the same over-the-top volume increase with the 5.0 upgrade. (A much needed fix.) I adjusted my ringtones/etc down from 10 to 8. No distortion/no fuzz... after doing so.

Mine is and always has been set at 7 and it still seems way too harsh... it eases up for me when I set the volume down closer to 4 or so, but then as you can imagine, the volume is too quiet to be functional. Very frustrating... the sound quaility sounds like we're back on a 1998 Nokia or something! If anyone has any suggestions other than turning volume down, I'd love to hear them.

Or better yet, if the majority of people aren't experiencing this, perhaps reinstalling the update would work. Just trying to see how wide of a problem this appears to be.

No distortion, but yes, my audible notifications got louder. The only one I use regularly is the alarm clock, so it's not that big of a deal for me.

sirmoog · **Question on OS Update for unlocked Storm on AT&T -** 10-30-2009, 10:04 AM

Hello,
I'm admittedly not much of a techie, but I did manage to follow the instructions on using an unlocked Storm on AT&T, and it has been working well for about 6 months.
I would like to upgrade to this newest OS, but did want to know if it will be compatible with my unlocked Storm. Will I need to unload and reload the service books, or do I just follow the update procedure as described here?
Thanks in advance!
