China Telecom official 5.0.0.724 for the 9530

[mechanic_joe]

Just came across this on blackberry.com download section, China Telecom official 5.0.0.724 for the 9530.

https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads...BBF9AA363DC5DA

Has anyone loaded and tried this OS ? My brother has a 9530 and has been having OS problems with 419. Thanks for any help

Your post contains an incomplete link. But there already is a higher version leak that has been out for a while. It is 5.0.0.797

I just downloaded it now. My 9530 is in getting repaired...again. I will try it in a week or so and report back. Yer right 797 was a leaked Beta and it can stay that way. I'm seriously surprised they're still hooking us up with OSs, I thought they forgot about us 9530 owners.

Sweet thanks And we can thank China Telecom for signing a purchasing agreement with RIM and breathing a bit of life into the 9530! I would expect at least a further 3 - 6 months in software support thanks to this

Someone should try this. No guarantee that it is better or worse that .797. Could be much better!

So can I assume there is no difference or problems from the fact that this OS is made by China Telecom and probably designed for Chinese Storms?

I think the general consensus is that the Chinese 9530 is the same hardware as ours. The only major change is the optional Chinese handwritten input option in the OS installer. I know 685 was a terrible leak from China, but so far 797 has been good for most people.

Anyone have any word on this OS yet? My brother is too chicken to let me try it out

+1. There is some additional applications that you can strip out for a Theme and handwriting app.

I DL'd it, but am pretty happy with .797, so not sure I will install it right away. I am sure my need to tinker will get me at some point.

I just installed it; for some reason it took me forever to make apploader to "see" this update. Anyhow, it appears to have more free memory and a more solid feel than .797. Hopefully, it will remain like this, I would let you know in a couple of days.

Two questions...

Does the Call Log toolbar at the bottom of the screen disappear after you use the dialpad at least once or make a call?

Does the Auto Correct/Word Completion switch on you after making or taking a call sometime?

These were the two biggest issues with .519 I have with the device still. Really, the most annoying is that switching of the input style... drives me up the wall since I use Auto Correct and not Word Completion.


Oki Doki, let me just answer my own questions then... lol

Both of these problem still exist in this OS version. Aside from slightly more memory availability, there doesn't appear to be any differences. At least my OS version numbers are higher now...

The once you dial the 4 bars of add mute ect shows up.
Don't know about the second question... never seen that happen.

i've had this os for about 5-6hrs by now.. Memory on Phone at 38.1 and only lose about 0.1mb which is very nice... but within 1.5hrs i've lost 24% battery life receiving some emails and sms.. nothing else so not so hot about that.. will report more later

That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the bottom toolbar that has buttons for delete, call voicemail, scroll, etc. on the Call Log screen in the Phone App.

As I indicated in the post above, both issues are still there... quite surprising since this is 224 builds above .519 and STILL HAS BOTH OF THESE OBVIOUS ISSUES. Well, maybe not so surprising...

[haris163]

Maybe RIM decided to get rid of that toolbar...who knows....my biggest issue with .797 was the memory leak that was causing the memory to slowly drift to zero within a week. This one appears more stable. Today will be the first real day of use.
