I went back to Sprint .131 and I have call timer and everything is fine.
.160 wasnt that good, was freezing too much, and getting errors with facebook

No issues with the update. My third party apps are snappier and more functional compared with .75

My Viigo feeds pop up in 30 seconds. It used to take 5 min.

After running this for almost a week now... It seems to be running smoothly now.
I suppose my issue's were due to the outage last week.

We will see what happen this week.

Are still running the beta or have tried the alpha again. The alpha is running pretty good for me.

ver .160 is too buggy for me--- the crackling sounds on the
telephone are weird. Going back to .138 when I can find it.

What bugs did you experience?

Pull in the cdma file from 119 or 131 and keep the rest of 160. Best OS I've had so far once I did that. Instructions found earlier in this thread.

I've noticed the crackling in .160 during calls. I tried going hybrid with the CDMA off of .119, however, I can't stand the dreaded lag when picking up a call with anything < .160 (it's fixed with this ver). I've reloaded .160 - so far the crackling hasn't happened yet.

Any of you VZW users having RF issues yet?

You probably will the first time you update your PRL.

[SteveO86]

I'll try pulling the CDMA sometime this week, will the App Loader automatically see the change like normal?

I haven't done a "hybrid" OS before.

That seems to be a pretty common issue with this OS.

I've already downgraded back to .77, this OS is too buggy.

I am having the exact same problem and I am thinking about downgrading to .138.

Yes, it should recognize the new file. It will say you already have newer versions of the software installed and you need to click to allow the "downgrade" even though all it's downgrading is that one cdma file.

I have been on for a few days and my only complaint is that I am, very sporadically, experiencing the beeps during the call. It is not anywhere near annoying enough to bother downgrading. I will just put up with it until the next release.

I just about went crazy with the random beep/chirp. You must be a very patient person ;)

Cool, thanks... I'm gonna have to do this since I get that high pitched noise during phone calls :(

It makes perfect sense.

Without even realizing that the Verizon 8330 i had was a MEID one, i installed this update without a problem and the phone is working perfectly fine. Is there something that isnt supposed to be working?

[SteveO86]

Changed the CDMA file.. We'll see how this works out.

[kccman]

Well after posting that this update was perfect and no problems I started to have the crackling noise while on the phone . Last night I went through the process suggested in creating the Hybrid OS and changing the CDMA file and voila works perfect, no crackling sound. I did however have a problem with Calendar, which I doubt is related to the Hybrid OS. Instead of my calendar working with my default email addy it made a calander call Default....lol. As it turns out I Synced my Device Calendar with all my Outlook calendar. Deleted the Calendar on my device. Set my primary email as the default email. Then Synced the Device with all the Outlook calendar entries and everything is back to normal. Anyone else have that sort of situation just be patient and ask for help or search for help. There always is a solution to be found either here or the other reputable Blackberry message boards.

[SteveO86]

I still got a bit a chirping/buzzing on my phone calls, any other CDMA file recommendations?

I used .131 and .160 so far.

[sixballer]

I have .77 What are the advantages of upgrading?
