FWIW, I've been running this for a while now and the ONLY problem I've experienced is reduced battery life...
My Bold was getting something like 36 hours+ battery life, and now it's down to like 24+ so it doesn't really have any real-world impact on me since it's in the charger every night.
This is still miraculous to me, coming from a AT&T 8525 (HTC) that got maybe 10 hours on a lucky day, and a Treo 650 before it that got maybe 18 with the same amounts (or less) of data usage.

Trace cause of increased battery usage?
Is there anyway to trace the cause of the substantially increased battery usage in OS 4.6.0.477/4.6.0.282? There has to be a way! I don't leave anything running, no bluetooth, wifi, nothing!
I wonder if there is a way to get ahold of an issues log for BB OS's?
Let's get creative!!! Aside from this issue, this is the best OS I've had on my Bold.

Hello everyone,
can I use this on my BB in Germany?
What are the Changes to this version?
Everything that works now should work after the Update as well, right?
I currently have the 4.6.0.216 on my phone.
T-Mobile will not release a better version.
Some advice please???
Thanks
Tim

yes you can use ANY carrier OS on your phone, just follow the instructions.
Changes are whatever people say, RIM do not release "release notes" about it.

I've been trying to install .282 and I installed it last night but I go to check what version I have and it says .167. I used DM 5.0 and I downloaded the OS from the link in this thread. I uninstalled the OS from the computer and installed it again and it showed that OS 4.6.0.282 was there but when I go to upgrade DM says there is no software upgrade for this device. Can anybody help with this problem? Thanks.

yup, I removed vendor.xml file and it shows that I have .282 installed on my computer on DM. When I go to the next step it says I have nothing to update when it says I'm running .167 on my phone.

but the phone hast restarted its self two times since yesterday.
Yesterday evening it was off. I had to restart. and this morning when i woke up, i had to enter my pin.
anyone else had this?
Tim

Picture thumbnails display is a huge problem in 282! i copied all images off my card. reformatted the card in BB and copied them all back (without the BBThumbs.DAT of course). let the .DAT files rebuild and everything seemed ok. but when i go into any of my picture folders the images come in at anywhere from 1/2 second to 2 seconds each! very unacceptable!!
switching 2G and 3G a nice new feature but easy to drop in to the engineering screens and do that anyway. Also battery life on this build seems HORRIBLE!!
might have to rollback in another day or so. |

Sucks as I wanted to have the 2G option. Oh well.

i looked at engineering logs and VVM is trying to connect every 1-5 minutes and also logging some java exceptions. i assume this is the source of the battery drain. i have to look into how to remove the .COD on this build. I knew how to do it once, but forgot. if anyone has a link to instructions i'd appreciate it. thanks |
