I tried out the tethering with my laptop this morning, there was a recognizable impact on the battery but not anything that I would call excessive, after all it is invoking the radio. I was impressed with the speed of browsing through the tether too, better than my verizon usb720 modem in my opinion. Enough for me to consider dropping my usb720 ($59.99 a month) and using the hotspot instead. $39.99 a month saving isn't to be sneezed at as long as I watch the data usage.

Yeah I would recommend dropping it. Having a mobile hotspot is cool.

I found one issue with this build on VZ. Maybe I can change a setting somewhere, but when I highlight an area to type an email and the new .com button appears as well as a "." instead of the spacebar, I can't get the "." on the space bar to work. I have to hit the .com button and backspace three time just to get the period. Is there a setting I'm missing??

Just wondering if it was my install or is bbm undeletable? I tried to download bbm 6.1 before I realized that it was incompatible. However while still trying to load it I see that it can not be deleted. And trying to shrink it out didnt work either. What gives?

First thoughts on 7.1 (running on VZW Torch).

Still getting the OS burned in... little bit of lag
Mobile Hotspot is cool, will burn battery
Keyboard a little laggy, but not hyper sensitive
Clicking on an incoming call can be an issue....

Been running it 3 hours now.... Just quick shot thoughts

Not sure I'm ready to jump yet. Must not be too many others wanting to jump yet either that or there just aren't many owners.

i apparently did something wrong. i went thru the step by step guide..even the one on crackberry and it still isn't working. it says the os isn't compatible with my device. it doesn't show up in apploader at all. i installed it, i repaired it, i restarted my laptop and it still isn't working. HELP!

I've never had any trouble installing another carrier OS on my uscelluar phones.

What way are you doing it?

amt1988 · #42 12-17-2011, 06:22 PM

im doing it the way thats said on the first page of this. i get all the way to apploader and nothing. i installed the os on my pc but it doesn't show up all i have for os is 7.0.0.14. i don't have vendor.xml in the apploader file.

in bb boss it says 7.1.0.163 but that isn't what shows up on my phone. i'm still at 7.0.0.424 or something

After the OS is installed try this
VENDELETE.CMD - VENDOR.XML file Remover

Then try this

ok i tried that and the os 7.1 still doesn't show up. i downloaded vendelete.cmd it said there were no vendor.xml files on my laptop. when i hit next in apploader it says no actions necessary.
