Os 7.2?

**khushang88** · 07-29-2012, 10:57 AM

I was just wondering that is there any chance of os 7.2 to appear before BB10?

I hope not! I want to see ALL RIM resources concentrated on BB10! ~ecm

Hope so, they need to continue support for the 7 devices, and come as close to bb10 as the device will allow. Not everyone will want a BB10 device at launch, I will not purchase a BB10 device at least untill the platform is a year old, proven and supported. Learned my lesson with the Playbook and being a first day buyer!

I hope so too, as RIM history has proven, it takes (on average) almost a year to "iron" out the bugs after a product is released. RIM should continue improvements on their present "flagship" device especially since everyone doesn't run out and buy the newest, latest, greatest, and best device......immediately

Even i would like them to perfect BB10 devices but current users should get some privilege too.. If not it would be like them forcing people to upgrade their phones just like they did with os 6, there wasn't even a 6.1 even after two and a half years.

Is there going to be a 7.2 update? This is the first I've heard anything about it, and they seem to just be adding new features into 7.1. I don't really see the point personally.

**ridesno159** · 07-31-2012, 03:24 PM

Yep, that's why they delayed BB10 so they can work on OS 7.2 for all their year old phones... oh wait... that makes zero sense...

Perhaps there is a slim chance but the main thing is that they need to focus on bb10 and 7.1 is good enough.

Unfortunately there will not be an OS 7.2 or else we would've spotted early builds already.

**dustanh** · 08-01-2012, 01:47 PM

I'm sure there will be.

Hmm I hope there will be, I think there is still minor bug fixes needed.

**kbz1960** · 08-01-2012, 06:26 PM

Yes there are still some bugs. Maybe a higher 7.1 will do the trick. Only in the .550's now.

Though I agree RIM needs to focus on BB10 saying that 7.1 is good enough sounds like something Jim Balsile would say. There are still plenty of issues we can find in the forums that still exist. While alot are mostly user error most are software related and should be fixed.

**mzway** · 08-09-2012, 12:54 PM

OS 7.1 still consists of a lot of bugs, and instead of ironing those bugs, RIM has opted to add "new" features, eg the battery issue with OS7/7.1 is driving everyone insane, some are saying it depends on user's usage and installed or running apps, truth is, even if u got few or no apps, even with the latest OS update, the battery still drains faster then we can spell "blackberry" ........ And as for BB10 devices, let's hope RIM have leant a lesson with OS7.1, one thing though that's worrying me, in all the devices we have sneak pic as BB10....... They are all full touch, no qwerty keyboard? Imagine typing on BBM, FB, Twitter, Whatsapp etc with with a full touch? Tiring

Yes, there will be a physical keyboard BlackBerry 10 phone!!! | CrackBerry.com

...and there's nothing wrong with battery life on OS7.1

**moegumby** · 08-09-2012, 05:24 PM

Battery life on my 9930 is way better then even my iPhone. And I use it way more. All day usage, in my hand most of the day, 12 hours later and still 40 percent battery.

I have 7.1.0.580. I am very happy. On my bb9930 what else can be added to the phone. I am not a serious tech person. In simple terms how much of my 9930 has not been unleashed to the masses?

There are different groups working on current BlackBerry phone OS' and those working on BB10. It will have no effect on BB10 to put concerted efforts into improving BB7 right now or in the near future.

I wouldn't disagree with you anymore but the delay of BB10 and the bugs present in OS7.1 are quite irritating so I think they should atleast release a stable OS

**khushang88** · 08-14-2012, 05:57 PM

One of the worst things (If anybody disagrees please do reply) is the Other section present in the Application Storage that forces me to restart my cell (9810) for no reason

You wouldn't be using 4G or HSPA+ that might save your battery a lot but 9810 battery is the only thing they didn't in the hardware aspect from 9800 was really dissapointed after using 9810
