Look at Options > About, third line down beginning with "v4.7.xxxx"

What is your OS there?

My DM OS is 4.7.0.32 is there a newer one available now that could be causing the problem?

Otherwise my phone OS is 4.7.0.132 ...and I am sick of this one, i really need an upgrade lol

but for some reason my DM only finds .65 and .75 :/

.148 (which this thread is about) is quite nice so far.

the grapevine has spoken -- and the grapevine says that quicklaunch 2.0 is very near release, it will fix the quicklaunch stobe light effect....

Please, NO. I am enjoying that new feature quite a bit.

zero7404 · 05-21-2009, 03:44 PM

he he...it is pretty cool, isn't it ? it's actually still functional, just hold finger for 1 sec and the item will still hilite....

it seems isolated to just the popup menu. either way, i simply conveyed the info i got from the horses' mouth....

Nucker · 05-21-2009, 07:44 PM

J,
I wish i had your problems. I also have big lines across my screen almost like a screen defect or malfunction, but its only when im typing. I will be going back to .122 that is the last time i had minimal amount of problems mixed with .90 radio.

I have had .148 installed for nearly 40 hours now and it's been great so far!

Specifically, not one crash yet (though still a little early to tell), and it definitely seems a bit snappier than some of the other betas I've tried.

One bug that I've had since .122 (I think) that's still not fixed here is when I'm playing MP3's from the media card it will switch to a new song but there will be no sound and I'll have to hit the volume key in either direction to get it back.

Oh, and YAY FOR FIXING LOCK!!!!

quicklaunch 1.5 is out...no more strobing

zero7404 · 05-23-2009, 09:31 AM

so far i'm impressed with this release....feels better than .122 overall. since quicklaunch strobing was fixed with v1.5, nothing really to complain about....

except for the radio delay to catch and hold EDGE after a reboot, i've noticed better reception and more bars.

lambdacoreaz · 05-23-2009, 02:59 PM

yea quicklaunch is fixed...that's a relief...

anyways about 2-3 days of testing I've found this OS is pretty solid...it had a few kinks that were resolved just by battery pulls (i.e. highlighting on compose new message when in message list would not disappear, wavering signal strength, and browser taking a while to find a website)

Bluetooth reception is still significantly bad compared to older OS versions

battery life has been GREATLY improved as I believe this phone manages the memory leak a whole lot better, as well as background apps have stopped stealing memory they don't need...

talk time improved greatly

screen doesn't flicker on occasion anymore (at least not yet)

GPS takes a bit longer to catch on using Google Maps, but it usually gets there by the time I reach my destination (lol)

other than that, this build is a far better improvement over all the other OS releases...if you do have issues I highly recommend doing a full wipe and starting fresh, if you're not willing to do so, try a battery pull a few times a day and it should freshen up the OS fairly well...surprisingly enough this version responds in a "progressive" manner to battery pulls

PHLAK · 05-23-2009, 11:49 PM

Right now my BlackBerry has an uptime reading of 274162 seconds, so that's 76.156 hours or just over 3 days. Compared with many of the previous beta OS's, that's impressive.

Also, internet browsing and general phone "snappiness" SEEM a little faster, not sure how true that actually is.

At one point my phone was stuck with a 1Xev signal for about a minute before I turned the wireless radio off then back on, and it's been working fine since (had I left it alone, it may have fixed itself, idk).

PHLAK · 05-25-2009, 03:20 AM

Wirelessly posted (BlackBerry Storm)

Been running for just under 104 hours now without any problems. Have up reboot now for an install.

caligto · 05-26-2009, 04:55 PM

I also have this OS running on AT&T. Going on 4 days EDGE is still holding strong. Best OS out there...

Kopter · 05-27-2009, 09:05 AM

I have had this loaded since it was leaked. Had been just fine... but of late I have noticed that after a period of time on my charger; the signal moves to 1Xev and then to 1x... and i need to either pull battery or toggle the signal on/off (via manage connections) to regain 1XEV. Last night I received my last email at 1230a. Did a batt pull at 445a this am and discovered that I had been sent emails/texts post 1230a that were consequently received at 446a (post pull). Have wiped the device and am currently reinstalling .148 in hopes that this issue doesn't repeat itself.

WMedley · 05-27-2009, 01:02 PM

I'm seeing a pretty good memory leak with this build. I can run for about 3 days before I am so low on memory that quick pull will throw an exception error when I try to use it. It also seems to be a little worse on battery use then the 141/5.0 hybrid i was using prior to this leak. I am probably going to go back to the hybrid, as the memory leak is enough of an issue that I have to do an actual battery pull.

do u run memory cleaner and clear the event log in between resets ?

i noticed the memory management of this OS is better than before, some mornings i wake up and check to find it at 45-40MB file free. my typical file free after a reset is around 47-45MB.

Kopter · 05-27-2009, 01:40 PM

Well, I reinstalled .148 this AM... after a wipe. Deleted service books/added service books. All was fine until I went to a lunch appt. Entered the restaurant with 1XEV, came out with 1x. Waited a 1/2 hour to see if 1XEV would return... it didn't. So I toggled wireless off/on and 1XEV came back on.... had 11 emails, 2 FB and a missed call!!!

Downgrading to .141

I have the same problem. But, I had it with .141 and .132 also. I generally only notice it when I'm tethered, though. I have done *228 option 2, to update my roaming list several times in the last month or two, hoping that would clear up the problem, but it hasn't.

PHLAK · 05-28-2009, 01:13 AM

Yeah, I've been noticing the 1xev thing as well. I have to toggle my radio to fix it.
