Frustrated with dodgy update, installed 2.1 beta instead. It is excellent :)

Is anyone having flash issues with browser on 2.1?

**solomon_grundy** · 08-12-2012, 11:56 AM

Flash issues here too. Has anyone found a way to fix the problem?

I had someone suggestion: "Check options to see if Flash is enabled. Clean cache and reboot. Other than that, there is nothing wrong with Flash in 2.1... Hope you don't have to wipe." but still no luck. I'm hoping not to wipe because I'm unable to back up my apps via desktop. Hoping someone else has any other suggestions.

I had flash issues with it the 2.1 beta. Had to do a security wipe and reinstall. Works great now.

What is the problem exactly? Flash not loading or what because I have no issues here thankfully.

Really.

I have a PB64. After the 668 upgrade, everything improves and sped up, no issue with battery. GPS locks quicker, Wi-Fi faster, Android apps are solid. So I don't understand why some have problems with the 668.

I went to check the software version on the LTE PB. It runs 668. So you would think 668 is a gold copy.

Could be be the problem of skipping updates? I religiously download and update mine ASAP. I started from v1 something when I got my PB. Update it to v2, not sure if that was 358, but before the 668 I think I had 358.

Anyway, it is very odd.

Yeah it's always baffled me why so many different people get so many different experiences on their pb's. I always do the updates and never have sideloaded any apps. I didn't have any problems until the 668 update and I'm still not sure if it was the problem. I think it must have something to do with which apps you have loaded but finding the problem combination would be a daunting task.

Correction - I have never had a problem except not being able to do a backup with the desktop manager.

Running 2.1 beta since release and did the minor update to it with no issues at all.

**luqman24** · 08-13-2012, 07:19 PM

Man I cannot stand the random browser crashes with OS2.1, can't even watch the football game without it crashing. Is there anyway to downgrade back to stock .668?

**kbz1960** · 08-13-2012, 07:24 PM

There is, I've done it using dingleberry and the OS I downloaded from one of threads and the instructions were in another.

If you need more help I might remember how I had to do it.

Edit: I followed this, substituted .668 for the OS, you have to have your PB in dev mode.

Ok thanks but since RIM pulled .668 wont DM automatically downgrade to the one before it?

**kbz1960** · 08-13-2012, 08:00 PM

There was a thread, I'm having trouble finding, that I downloaded the OS to my computer from. I still have it but it's too large to email.

No worries, although ill give it a second shot and see how the battery life turns out to be and hopefully its as good as others say it is fingers crossed.

Edit: Nevermind. Im just gonna avoid all the trouble and just reset it to the latest official update on DM which is 2.0.1.358 (turning off PB and updating)
