Review...
Please Login to Remove!
Upgraded last week...so far:
- Very slow response reading from Micro-SD...
- Sometimes; screen stays "white" for like 15-20 seconds after taking it out of holster.
- Battery life considerably better. I have Wi-Fi turned ON 24hrs and Radio OFF (I am roaming) and the battery lasts 3-4 days.
Even though these first 2 are the most significant negative issues, I am not considering rolling it back to previous version.

I noticed the same thing. Sometimes I need to click on certain things two, or even three times before Bold responds. Also, the internet will occasionally drop off. |

Does the new build address the black lines around the photos when you view them? I know this was a problem in .266. Also, is the battery life better with just wi-fi, or with 3G as well.
Thanks.

I'm rolling back to another version. This release is KILLING my battery. Nothing is running in the background that would contribute (at least that I can close...maybe it's visual voicemail??) It just sucks it dry in about 12 hrs. I've tried battery pulls, etc, etc, and nothing works. Tried 2G still drains fast.
Sucks as I wanted to have the 2G option. Oh well.

Same here, very slow response when reading Micro-SD after battery pull. Usually it takes about 15 min to read Micro-SD and after that my Bold is snappy and ready to go. I have 8gb micro card and I have 1gb left to use. Thats my only complaint about 282 so far. |

Bluetoothe Tethering
That was not the case when I was doing Bluetooth tethering a few months ago. I was able to receive email, PIN and SMS/MMS messages while tethered.

multi language solution
for eveyone looking for a multi-language .282 and any other firmware here's the solution as posted by a friend of mine(Nabil K):
"""so here is the solution for people who wants full language support:
suppose u still have .266 multi language installed on ur system else install it again or if u have other multi-language firmware it will do.
go to: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\shared\Loader Files\9000 XXXXx (ur firmware version folder)\Java and u select all files and COPY to the same folder of .282 firmware(Java) it will ask you if u want to replace file JUST answer NO to all of them. In this way only the languages files that are not available in .282 will be copied.
Now run your desktop manager and install .282 and you will have all languages available to choose from.
Tested on my bb.
regards,
Nabil K""""

karinko, thanks, but if someone wants the Multilanguage version of this OS, all they need to do is very simply download and install the Multilanguage version which is listed as such in the initial post of this thread.
Very simply.

so what is the over-all opinion of this build? I've been on .247 almost since it's official release... From what I've read on here I can't say I've found anything to say that this is strongly recommended or not. Same as the other site too.
anyone?

I tried 282 and had problems with playback of some video files. I also have .m3u playlists with video files in them, and 282 did not like this at all.
I went back to 266. As far as I'm concerned 266 is the safest version to be on right now.

Has anyone been having trouble with dropping back to EDGE? I went on a road trip over the past two days and on major interstates where AT&T has 3G service I was stuck on EDGE for a long time (~4-5 Hours). An iPhone in the car had 3G access the whole time... When I got to my destination, my BB stayed in EDGE for a long time. I'm not sure what's going on. I gave it a full wipe through the BES (killing 3rd party too) and even before I did EA the phone was still stuck of EDGE. I'm in Milwaukee.

There is a 282 version from Rogers now that "seems" to be fixing the slowness of the pictures loading.
Here is the link (from crackberry) : https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads...C068A355BBA31A
I am wiping with JL_commander and reinstalling all from scratch now ...

It's just a placebo. Release .282 is release .282 whether beta, from one carrier or another. Different releases always carry different version numbers. |

I confirm that posts that say the Rogers version is better or different is just BS ! It's exactly the same and has the same issues ;)
