Better memory management, overall quickness of the device tends to improve.

I used .131 and .160 so far.

I used 119, no more chirping/buzzing.

138 CDMA file no buzzing

That is what the discussion in this thread and the previous OS upgrade threads are all about. You'll need to review the user comments in these threads to determine.

Media Player issue in .160

Has anyone else noticed that all of the track numbers and song lengths are "0" for track and "0:00" for length?

This was not so in .138 and I have not changed any of the music files on the card.

I've went back the .77 radio/CDMA file and it works perfectly now.

I haven't noticed that Media Player issue with .160

It has been VERY in frequent for me, and I am a 1500 min a month user. Not even every day. Not sure what the cause is. I've been trying to pay attention to when it happens to see if there is a pattern.

I ended up downgrading to 4.5.0.131. The chirping was constantly happening for me.

Yea that chirping was horrible, using the CDMA file from the .77 release resolved that issue for me.

so i downloaded the os, deleted the vendor file, now when i go to install it in the DM it says no update is required and does not show the new os. i remember having this problem once before but i dont remember the fix. any tips to point me in the right direction would be great.thx

[jsconyers]

Don't use DM. Use Loader.exe which can be found in the same folder as the vendor.xml file.

As stated in the title, I just get plain text now, even after deleting and reloading it...anyone know why?

How is everyone doing with GPS?

I have to say that I have had times when it is flaky... "searching for satellites" over and over. Then another time it works as expected.

Same thing with VZ Navigator. Works fine then suddenly you get a GPS alert for a while.

I don't use it enough to have me go backwards, but....

I was poking around trying to decide which hybrid to make. I decided to make this post for those of you who are wondering where to get the older files:

8330 ESN Version -

.66 - US Cellular
.77 - Verizon, Carolina West Wireless, Cellcom, NTELOS, Virgin Mobile Canada
.127 - Alltel, Bell Mobility, CloseCall, MTS-BWA, SaskTel
.131 - CBeyond, Sprint
.138 - Appalachian Wireless, Bluegrass Wireless
.160 - Telus

These are from the official sites. If you are looking for another version, BING!

(I couldn't help it, everyone always says Google)

I just upgraded to this version yesterday and am getting the horrendous piercing blip or beep randomly while on calls. How often do they come out with new versions of the OS? is it worth changing back to the old system? I tried pulling the battery out and it didn't fix the problem...

Please read through this entire thread. There is a fix. Pull the cdma file from another OS version and the beep goes away.

I did read that but unfortunately it's Egyptian to me! How do I replace files? I'm just excited that I was able to follow the step by step instructions to change the OS.

If anyone has the extra time to type me up an idiot proof step by step guide I sure would appreciate it!

The instructions on here are easy to follow. As an FYI, I chose the .77 file since I am a VZW customer and I am very happy with the results.

Thanks I found the post with step by step instructions some terms confuse me but I'm going to see if I can chug through w/o breaking my phone. Wish me luck!

Gah! The beeping! This is what I get for trying to be fancy schmancy online. If I switch out the sound file to an older version and try to double click on the loader.exe thing it just cycles through and tells me nothing needs to be updated.

If I remove all BB OS files from my computer and download an older version to try and install an older version the same thing happens. It won't install anything on my phone.

On a good note the beeping is getting less frequent I think...
