Official 9000 4.6.0.291 (PL4.0.0.183) Findings thread

Guys, what about Battery Life,,, anyone tested this already?

If everything runs faster (esp. pics loading speed) I wouldn't mind losing the 2g 3g switcher. the "task manager" thing is a bit of a loss but atl-esc works just as well so i can handle that. however if anyone hear knows how to debrand a bold I'm all ears :3

my battery life with .291 has been great..yes better than .282

I think its pretty good so far , have not had any problems to speak of

Pics load fast

3G is good

runs fine ...
:)

how about the GPS lock ?

:( this OS still doesn't work with my Tomtom go 930 wireless data although the older os's did.

since the new os doesnt have the 2g/3g switch, this new os can sod off for all i care.

I don't see much difference between .282 i had before and .291 now.

- No changing from 2G and 3G ( i don't use it anyways so it does not affect me)

- Slight overall faster performance then .282. Pictures, videos and other programs do noticeably load faster.

There isn't much change in this version except the things i listed.

Running It now.

Quite improvement from .282 If you ask me. Pictures load faster and everything else feels snappier !

Gonna keep it. :)

.167 denotes the OS.

I follow the directions to a 'T'. I even tried downgrading than upgrading again. WTF is going on?!?! So I restore phone to factory settings with the new BBSAK software and try again??

I had a similar prob. What I did what to format the phone/device memory and memory card after hooking the phone up to the pc via the usb cable.

your 100% right, its a hybrid T-Mobile UK created

so some people see the mobile network switcher and some dont, is it there or is it gone???

"Software For BlackBerry� Bold (TM) 9000 smartphone

BlackBerry Handheld Software v4.6.0.438 (Multilanguage)

Package Version: 4.6.0.438
Consisting of:
Applications: 4.6.0.167
Software Platform: 4.0.0.217
File name: 9000M_PBr4.6.0_rel438_PL4.0.0.217_A4.6.0.167_AT_am p_T.exe
File size: 93.32MB"

Is this an OS .438 version or is it just a .167? What denotes the OS version? I can never seem to figure this out. Anyone know?

you can always tell by the file name, 9000M_PBr4.6.0_rel438_PL4.0.0.217_A4.6.0.167_AT_am p_T.exe
