New AT&T OS update (6.0.0.668)

[sqa4life]

Hello all,
I just connected my phone to the computer today and it promts me to update my device software. I clicked the update button in a hurry so I let it ran through completed.

Any known issues that I should watch for?

The latest is .723 but .668 was a good build. What OS where you on before?

I was running OS5.

The update is completed. I like the GUI so far :-)

You can edit/delete the account from email setup.

I have been running .668 for the last 4 days and so far so good. Very little memeory leak, battery life exceptionally strong and very responsive. Do some battery pulls over the next couple days to allow it to "settle"in and you should be good to go. By the way, did you shrink the OS prior to install? You will pick up a lot of memory that way.

No, I did not shrink it. I upgraded from whatever AT&T provided.
I noticed the brower is faster.
I also noticed the password keeper is gone :-)

I like the GUI of this version (6) better than 5.
Let me look up the instruction on how to shrink and install again.

Thanks all

Follow the second post in this forum for step-by-step instructions. They are spot-on and flawless. Use BB Boss to do the shrinking and wipe our device to insure a fresh install.

Its hardly new since it came out in October. Mine has some memory leak issues which are made worse by running google's apps it seems.

Just got the newest OS installed. Yayyyyyy....
So far so good.

Thanks everyone for your help.

update: no wifi connection. Keep getting "Failed to associate with the network" error message. I pulled the battery, deleted the wifi profile, cycled wifi, restarted the router. No luck.

Are you using Network Magic on your PC.

Nope.
my other phone (also a Bold 9700 with OS5) has no problem connecting to my wifi.

Trying doing the following to see if it corrects your issue.

1. Delete any saved WiFi profiles
2. Restore default WiFi settings, in saved WiFi Networks hit the Menu Key and choose Options then Reset Settings
3. Reboot the BlackBerry by taking the battery out
4. Scan and setup connection again.

Also check your router security setting and maybe reset those too. WPA/WPA2 WEP etc.
