Is anyone elses back working fine? I decided to wait it out for a while until it really pisses me off. It's too cool to get rid of just yet

yes same here

im going to wait it out...it seems to be working fine now and i like it a lot more than 4.7

[daytona5004]

i couldnt backup my phone prior to installing 5.0 but i backed up after. if i were to delete 5.0 how could i get my 4.7 back i tried and nothing worked. could i just restore factory settings?

[skinnytoo2]

Yeah I had same issue today on 5.0. It seems to be working fine now.

everyone had problems last night.. it was a server issue not BBM issue

[greystealth]

I highly doubt it was a server issue. I'm sure we would have heard more reports from all kinds of bbm uses. I've been using bbm for years and have never seen a problem like this. I reverted back last night when it happened and as soon as I got 4.7 back on it was perfect. So I'm calling bs on this "server" comment.

For all of you that need bbm 4.7 back make sure you install the handheld os from BlackBerry® Software Updates.

Do a backup to retain all of your BBM contacts, delete bbm5.0 from the applications screen on device. Reboot, plug phone into DM, application loader, place a check mark next to Blackberry messenger, install, reboot, restore contacts from the backup.

good luck everyone.

I'm convinced it's a server issue. This has been a lot of betas for them to handle.

[greystealth]

Beta or not its only a client. The server is designed to handle load and I'm sure it is load balanced however their infrastructure is set up. If it was server based then the whole bbm world would have complained, I've only heard issues from bbm5.0 users.

I dl'd the ota 5.0 last nite. Used it all day with no probs.

[merx9]

I was having problems around 2 am aswell last night I thought it was the new BBm, but i guess it was BB's servers?

[bkdtv]

The problems last night and this morning were not specific to BB5.0. I saw the same issues in the old version.

[janamcarthur]

if you decide to downgrade back to the old bbm & delete 5.0, do you have to re-add each of your bbm contacts? this would suck!

[wrxchic]

add back in the default messenger from that same screen. You should have 2 versions of BBM. Make sure BBM5.0 is unchecked and the default 4.7 is checked.

I tried doing that and I have NOTHING. PITA! I had to reinstall BBM5 for now...til I figure out how to get 4.7 back...

[nickyamg]

i tried and tried with the bbm 5. lol and no luck i did battery pulls reg. hrt. few times. my messages where on a 10-15 minute delay or didnt go through at all.. so i downgraded back. im sure all these issues will be fixed on a official release. i cant wait!

[misageisha]

Salomondrin states that if you registered it gets rid of this problem

[tcr04]

i went back to the old one after a few hours. I'll just wait for the official release

[dvdoughboy]

For those wanting to go back to 4.7, why don't you follow this guy's step by step directions?

Worked for me and was a piece of cake.
