8900 OS: v4.6.1.133 (Multilanguage)

[howejustin]

There are great advantages to this OS, however I've noticed some rather annoying draw backs too:

1. I have to do a QuickPull once per day, as some buttons and web links will suddenly become unresponsive. Once the QuickPull is done, it works again. Didnt' have to do this with .114.

2. When plugged in to my PC, it disabled my network and WiFi connection. Unplugged, stayed disabled. Was able to immediately enable, but still an inconvenience.

3. The issue (for me at least) of initiating a call using UMA then having it switch over to EDGE when Wi-Fi is no longer available still drops the call. Switching from EDGE to UMA works well though.

Thanks.. I will be upgrading soon.

I have been running this OS for a week or so and I I don't have any of these issues. In all fairness I don't use UMA that often and wouldn't have noticed the issue with calls dropping.

seems to be bugging out, every program i go to even the ones as simple as contacts or calendar.. gets a quick hourglass and i refuseee to keep pulling the battery out during the day cuz then whats the point of having this sweet *** phone.

I would try a complete wipe and reinstall. Some of us are having really good luck with this OS.

I unplugged my internet connection. I installed the bb device software os ending 133 Then i started up desktop manager. Plugged in my phone and chose what language i didnt want etc. Then i believe i click next or finish and it did the rest. i got all my programs back etc. u have to search around for it to learn the software afterwords. No problems.

I just updated mine. Thanks! It all took about 45 minutes. Trust me if i can do it anybody can.

So all in all to those who have updated to this OS from 114. Is it worth it?

[shorynot]

Hasn't been worth it for me. Wordwrap isn't fixed, and battery life has not improved. Actually...it may be worse. I've wiped and installed .133 twice.

That is really strange that we have so many people that are having differrent results with this upgrade.

Shorynot did you try the link to the official upgrade? I know they should be the same but you never know.

I have the word wrap issue fixed and battery life is better for me. I installed the beta version.

I upgraded to .113 (using the official link) yesterday & haven't had any problems as of yet. I've browsed the web quite a bit, had several phone calls, sent SMS & MMS texts, updated my Calendar & Tasks, checked FaceBook using the app... I have noticed that the battery is much better! I haven't been in the situation yet, where the phone needs to jump to/from UMA and Edge, so I can't say if the dropped calls are a problem.

I have the beta os on my phone. Works fine. Should I install the official version, or just leave it be?

Are they really different?

I just wiped my handheld with jlcomander, and installed the new .133 os. but now i dont have bb maps, windows live messenger, or fb. i use a 8900 curve on the rogers wireless networks.

just wondering why are these gone, and how do i get them back on my phone. cause they came with my phone when it had os .94

moments later i have also noticed that when i go to my gps, and select find location, it just sits and searches for satelites??? is this normal?

if you know how to help i can also be reached at pin -24a8c41a

The GPS doesn't seem to be working on .133 though I have to be honest while on .114 it didn't seem to work then either. I'm begining to wonder if this unit is having a hardware issue with GPS and if it is I better figure it out quick in case I need a replacement (i hope not).
