I upgraded from two tin cans and about 25 ft. of string ... I get my S2 tomorrow. Is there anything I should know before I use it? ...

My GMAIL App isn't working correctly. Had to disable compatibility mode to log in and after that, wouldn't let me scroll through emails! The app is 100% useless. This is one of my most used apps.

Opera Mini 5 reverted back to having the backspace issue where you hit one backspace and it erases the whole string. This is aggravating!!!!!! This was happening in earlier versions of 5.0.xxx, the .238 update before switching to the Storm2 fixed this problem. Now it's back.

Wow, lots of complaints already lol hopefully this problem will be solved by january lol... T.T

seems like a quick software update would fix many if not all of the issues.

this reminds me of storm 1 all over again on launch date... hopfully it doesnt take verizon to long again to push out another update since they waited a long time to give storm 1 an update after it came out

true but the only difference this time is the screen is managed by the OS so any click issues should be fixed by the updates.

Just picked up my Storm2 at Noon at a local Verizon company store. Love the phone except one headache.

I am trying to find a way to keep my Yahoo! email out of the "Messages" folder. I am synced with my company's BB server which pushes email automatically to the default "Messages" folder. However, when I setup a Yahoo email account, the Storm2 also pushes that email to the default "Messages" folder. This is in addition to the separate icon it creates for Yahoo! mail. I really, really want just corporate mail in the "Messages" folder.

Verizon support had no clue and told me my corporate guys can setup an icon on my BB, which I think is utter BS.

Any thoughts?

Quick Pull will not work with the new software. I'm also having some trouble with the bottom 4 keys seems you have to press them slightly above the icons to get them to work every time. My battery has been on charge for over 3 hours and its still not fully charged WTF? I have it on the wall charger. Now If I connect to the USB on the puter I get a an error message on the handset that says The power from the USB port is not sufficient, Never saw this one on storm-1

Yea that's what i'm hoping for, I can deal with it the way it is, but it slows me down, all i need is it to be just a tad softer

Go to Mesages folder, menu, options, main message list settings. you get list of email accounts that you want to appear in the "messages" folder

**fm07071** · 10-28-2009, 06:02 PM

Bettermost, I removed quickpull and reinstalled it. once installed, set all persmissions to "allow" and then do an actual battery pull.

Just picked up an S2 today. Never had the S1, can't compare it to that, but I can compare it to a Tour and an iPhone.

So far, the S2 is exactly what I would have hoped for. Quick and smooth; comparable to an iPhone 3G in speed (not a 3GS).

OS 5.0 has some REALLY nice enhancements compared with 4.7 on my Tour.

One issue I have is the vibrate module on the S2 pretty much sucks. I can barely feel it, though it does make a lot of noise. Not sure if I'm going to exchange it since setting up a new BlackBerry is such a pain in the *** - moving icons, setting up BIS/BES, installing apps, reseting and entering registration codes, etc.

Got mine @ Store opening today, and the only problem I have had w/ it is I can't send email(s) as a compose but I can reply to emails... its wierd I gotta bring back the phone tomorrow

Don't understand I had a Curve and 8220 and I was able to keep both cel provider service and wifi on at the same time.

Cant on the S2?

**madstylez** · 10-28-2009, 06:07 PM

It's amazing that so many are having issues with the S2 already. The S2 seems to be an incremental update at best; i.e., not worth the upgrade if you already have a S1. Maybe that will change with future OS updates. Probably a decent upgrade from a non touch screen berry though.

Looks like ground hog day. Hope it gets better for y'all.

Took it back and had no problems swapping but before i left the store i tried to open it and guess what... THE SAME THING. The tech support person in the store couldn't figure it out and finally said it is a software glitch. Anybody else?????

I have the same error. I'm on BES, so I wonder if that could be a cause for the cryptic error message.

Google Maps seems to work, however.

The dimming is an OS issue and to turn off word suggestion, go to options, turn to landscape mode (important) language and text input, then change word completion to auto correction and your all set
