- Installed last night and it loaded flawlessly. Took about 25 minutes total. This OS seems quick and snappy much like OS 5.0.0.979. I presume memory may be an issue for many. Before the upgrade I had approx 118 MB free. I now have around 74 MB. I am keeping an eye on this as I had 82 MB last night and this morning have 74. I have had no problems with this OS so far. Glad to finally upgrade since I have not installed any prior leaked versions of OS 6, and only official OS 5 versions.04-29-11 08:18 AMLike 0
- I upgraded my os yesterday. I had been using another 6.0 from a different carrier. I noticed that my cursor is back in bbm i'm happy about that.Willard814 likes this.04-29-11 09:29 AMLike 1
- I just got a 9700 (for work in tandem with my Torch) and decided to shrink then upgrade the os today. After I did this and the phone restarted, a message popped up saying:
"uncaught exception:
java.lang.NullPointerException"
Should I worry about this? Has this happened to anyone else?
It's the first time I used BB Boss and not sure if I might have done something wrong with the BB.04-29-11 11:29 AMLike 0 - I just got a 9700 (for work in tandem with my Torch) and decided to shrink then upgrade the os today. After I did this and the phone restarted, a message popped up saying:

- I downloaded last night. Shrunk the **** out of it and had 113MB file free today with my apps. I noticed my memory began to decrease pretty rapidly. Within 2 hours this morning and barely touching the phone I was at 90. That's a very big memory leak. Maybe I'll give OS 6 another go after a few more builds. I would have been fine it the memory didn't decrease. Hopefully one or 2 more builds and OS 6 will fully be optimized for the 9700.04-29-11 12:33 PMLike 0

My device was super fast. I don't think there are any downsides to shrinking unless you take out something crucial which is kind of hard to do. After I shrunk my OS was around 58mb but I noticed it was missing the social feeds even though I didn't check that. My file free was 113MB at startup with my handful of apps. I noticed that it was decreasing, at first pretty slowly then all of the sudden I lost like 20mb. I will definitely try OS6 again when a new build comes out with no memory leak. Wasn't too crazy about the browser closing pages left and right due to the lack of memory either. Good luck!!!

I really wanted OS6 for my 9700 but not if it's going to affect the performance of my Bold. Then again if I decide to wait on the next build from AT&T there's no telling how long that could be considering how long this one took. Hmm...redbadger likes this.04-29-11 02:49 PMLike 1
- I debated for a long time to upgrade to OS 6 and when I finally did, I was very pleased... For this thinking about it, just do it. Just remember to shrink your OS.
The cool think I noticed about OS 6 was that when you rearrange your icons in one theme, they stay that way when you pull up another theme..04-29-11 03:16 PMLike 0 - i have successfully upgraded my 9700 to .534 and its now functioning well and quite smoothly XD...thx for any of ur help!
but one thing is bothering me which is the memory i got left is slightly scary:
my 9700 got only 17mb free right after the upgrade, then i rebooted the device and 28mb was told to b free... so im kind of worrying now coz ive deleted all themes for OS5, and left only EnUK EnUS and another 2 inputs for daily use, what else should i give up to set more memory free?
any suggestion is greatly appreciated!04-29-11 03:38 PMLike 0 - i have successfully upgraded my 9700 to .534 and its now functioning well and quite smoothly XD...thx for any of ur help!

I didn't think so.

- LOL. I wasn't at all clear. Sorry.
I didn't mean a screen capture. I meant a real image of the actual setup of everything, not just a visual picture of it. So I don't have to go through it all again.
(But like I said, I didn't think so. Especially if the OS itself is changing.)04-29-11 07:40 PMLike 0 - LOL. I wasn't at all clear. Sorry.
