New software has been approved for the RIM Blackberry Storm (9530), and will
be available effective 10/25/2009 at 7 PM PST for customers. Communication
will be provided to customers via a "Pin Message" to their device stating:

Symptoms Resolved:

* Significant improvements in rotation detection and screen painting have been introduced in this software.
* Device displayed a white bar at the bottom of the screen after a rotation event.
* When setting a custom SMS tone for a single contact, this tone may playback unexpectedly for SMS' received from other contacts.
* When swiping down the virtual keyboard in an MMS message the send and save draft icons did not appear as expected.
* When viewing an SMS there was no simple way to call the current user. Now the user can select the number from the Callback Number field or from the message body and call that number from the pop up menu.
* The delete prior function has the unwanted side-effect of triggering the compose email screen.
* The user cannot configure their profile settings to increase the number of alerts when being notified of an event such as incoming SMS or email.
* Previous software versions did not allow the user to increase the count of notifications (i.e. Beep 5 times when when I get an email and beep 3 times when I get an sms). In this software, this is now allowed with counts from 1-10.
* When trying to set a home screen background of a certain resolution (more specifically a resolution matching either the width or the height of the native resolution of the LCD) it may have appeared as a black screen.
* When trying to edit/create a folder, the virtual keyboard did not render to allow the user to enter the names of said folders.
* Intermittently, when streaming a video while doing a handover to 2G on a 3G network the video would stop playing.
* If you paused a video recording and then resumed, the icon state may not have reflected the current recording state.
* After recoding a video of a certain size (7M) the saved video may be corrupted and unplayable.
* During manual network selection, the radio buttons associated with the networks did not render as expected.
* When moving out of coverage your device display for no coverage may have been inconsistent.
* During voice calls, your device may have reset on a rare occasion.
* After viewing and accepting the End User Licensing Agreement of the App World application the application doesn't startup (fixes introduced in the latest version of App World).
* On some rare occasions, the device may reset on its own during a voice call or while idle.
* During an MTP side load of 16GB of music, the device would leak memory and stop the transfer at ~75%.
* During device full boot-up, the progress bar skips from 0% complete to ~66% complete instead of showing a gradual progression (Note: from 66% to 100% it does show a gradual progression).

Great information! Seems like its going to be a solid update, and pretty excited myself to install this on my Storm!

**pounder001** · 10-25-2009, 01:03 PM

Thanks for the change log information

**Joneser2006** · 10-25-2009, 01:03 PM

Ok, now how about the change log for .328???

**richbyrne** · 10-25-2009, 01:04 PM

Thanks for the update on the fixes. Many of those are why I didn't load .323

**superlark** · 10-25-2009, 01:06 PM

Mr3 is .328......

EDIT: Web-based software loading.. isn't this the .exe?? I am probably wrong, but wishful thinking..

**jsanta11** · 10-25-2009, 01:06 PM

Can't wait .. Def solid Os

**rfdesort** · 10-25-2009, 01:07 PM

Question... is this the update log from the official .148 til now?

I don't think so. I think the change logs are per-release. Since 148, this would've been pages long.

**tonyfung820** · 10-25-2009, 01:10 PM

So, how much longer til .328 available? Sorry that I'm from Asia and don't know the time zone for 10/25 10PM Eastern time! Is New York in Eastern Time?

**Greenhawk** · 10-25-2009, 01:11 PM

Seems alright. To the above, yes NY is eastern time.

Yes, New York is Eastern Time.

Thanks! Just figured out it's about 7 hours 45 minutes til 10:00pm on 25 Oct 2009. Am I right? It's 2:15am on 26 Oct 2009 here!

**TBacker** · 10-25-2009, 01:16 PM

Looks to me that this is going to be downloadable as an exe - I highlighted the statement in the OP.

Nothing about only using DM - that website link usually is the path to the exe versions.

Edit - Never mind. Now it opens your DM to check for updates.

**itsdollar** · 10-25-2009, 01:23 PM

Can't wait. I may wait for the exe also but...Just as easy to use crackmem to remove all the junk

This is when it sucks that you cant fix the title after posting!

Is there a mod in the house????

Edit - Renamed - thanks PK!

**Card Storm** · 10-25-2009, 06:38 PM

That change log is nothing compared to the .148 change log. THey have improved alot.

**tcrew12** · 10-25-2009, 06:43 PM

Just to be clear, the improvements noted are over the last official release, not over .323, which many of us have been enjoying over the past weeks.

I am correct right?

As someone previously stated, a change log from .148 5.0.0.328 would be pages. Having using several of the OS 5 leaks, it looks more like an OS 5 change log... probably since their last build candidate.

Just my $.02
