D/L'ing as we speak.. I knew there was a reason I did a full backup the other day. You guys normally wipe then install or just install over?

**nm1k0** · 07-26-2009, 11:39 PM

Downloading as we speak. I'm going to wipe then install. Give it a nice fresh new beginning.

I usually just install over and it works fine.

Platform updated. Battery life sucks on this build. Tabbed browsing included, a bit clunky to navigate tho. Start up time is much faster now too, almost as fast as the bold on 5.0 but not quite

**AZBBFAN** · 07-27-2009, 12:02 AM

50% done, in kevins short write up he mentioned app world and BBM 5.0 not working? Did I read that correctly?

You do realize its not an "official" build right? And do you also realize the 8900 has both a wifi and GPS radio inside which isn't good on battery life for any phone?

**jayjay7411** · 07-27-2009, 12:12 AM

Ok So I Am Way New To The 8900 I Do Want To Know If I Do This Do I Need To Erase A Vendor File And Also Will Be Themes Still Work?? Thanks In Advance

**defcon3** · 07-27-2009, 12:14 AM

Judging from the file naming this should be

8900jAllLang_PBr5.0.0_rel157_PL5.2.0.3_A5.0.0.130

Platform 5.2 ?! Compared to 5.0.0.100 which is 8900E_PBr5.0.0_rel100_PL4.3.0.27_A5.0.0.100

Can someone confirm this? Perhaps this is why this is eating battery life as if here is no tomorrow (see BOLD .130 thread)

Uhm. Yes I am well aware of that. I was posting my experience with this build. Did I indicate anywhere in my post that I believed this to be anything close to a release build?

8900 has wifi and gps wow no kidding, how did I miss that. Maybe I should have been more clear, compared to 5.0.0.100 and later 4.6.1 builds the battery life is not that great.

T-Mobile has a few more options... postcard... and a few other modules that the previous builds came with.

**jayjay7411** · 07-27-2009, 12:18 AM

SO DOES THAT MEAN YOU DONT RECOMMEND IT??

That's the platform version (I referred to it in my earlier post). Not sure if that is what causes the battery drain or not tho.

It really depends on if you are comfortable playing with beta software, it can have unexpected results. In addition to the apps that didn't run in .100 (fb, live messenger etc), appworld does not run on this either (or at least that i've been able to figure it out).

**jayjay7411** · 07-27-2009, 12:21 AM

Wow Just Read The Bold Reviews For The Same Build Dont Think Im Getting This Lol

**MRHORSE** · 07-27-2009, 12:22 AM

is there a rapidshare mirror link?

**Bajanbastard** · 07-27-2009, 01:09 AM

I have a quick question. How do you guys get a working browser with these 5.0 builds? I tried 5.0 and browser facebook (known) doesn't work but my socialscope doesn't work either. Is this something based on your location? Or carrier?

I'm finding you can't shuffle by album or artist like you could on .100. I'll miss that until it comes back around.

I take it back. It can be done, but it is set up differently to do it.

as long as the MyFaves display works partially like it does with .93, I will be happy with this one. Could care less about Crapbook and all the IM clients, I'm not a tween and I have a life outside the interwebs. Thankfully I got out of bed to use the bathroom and checked CB while on the john and gave me something to download. Guess I wont be getting a full nights rest before work in the morning. 2:30am here and download at 85%

**stew721** · 07-27-2009, 01:40 AM

I'm sitting in front of the library at 0230 with my netbook d/l an OS update for my BlackBerry on their WiFi.
