[gtaryder08]

Why do you think that ... whats the difference between .164 ansd .178

[Artemis68]

.174 has the best battery life. Hands down.

seriously, update to .174 and you'll see what I mean.

[mauro99]

168 sucks 174 is the best the battery life is soo cool

[ek9max]

I agree. so far my battery life has been awesome. Reminds me of my 8330. except i have wifi/gps on all day. pretty sweet.

I second ya' all, am liking the .174, I think for os upgrade i will be parked there for a minute till anything MajoR

I upgraded to .174 Friday and its been running very smooth so far. And the battery does seem to be running a little better like mentioned above

downloadin now

I tried updating to both .168 and .174 and all would be fine except that neither builds load up my music playlists on my media card. It reads the media card when you choose the explore options, but it won't recgnize the playlists i've built. Does anyone else not notice this problem or am i the only one using my bberry as my main media player?

[crynow82]

Yes best battery life by far on this build.

My battery life goes quick from 100% to 95% w/minutes also it seems to drop fairly quick to the 50% mark. I don't know how long till the battery life runs out. I will keep you posted..

[smithwicky]

For some reason I thought my battery life was better with .168 than with .174. Probably just my usage. Loving the .174!

Can anyone post the link to download this firmware?

Also, what's improved since firmware .168 besides the batter life?

Mine load up just fine. I also read a few ppl saying their vids werent showing up too. I havent had ANY of these issues with mine. Everything works perfect

[ClintRo]

all of my music shows up on 174

[gregerator]

Depends on format. My MP4 vids show up but not .avi container files. I imagine it's the same with playlists as they are a conatiner file also.

Really? Like i said i tried both builds and when i go into the media, and click on all songs, all albums, all playlists, all videos, etc...nothing is in there. But if i go to explore, select the media card, everything is in there. I don't understand it.

As soon as i downgrade back to a earlier build though, it all shows up again. Weird stuff, i'd love to be able to use the newer builds but no media card access is a deal breaker for me

Anyone else have this problem and have a solution for it?

[ClintRo]

You could try....to back up the media card on to you computer... format the card with the new OS on the BB....then reload music and see if that helps...

Just an idea and depending on how much music you have could take a while.

[djlegend]

Where can I find the .174 download link? I found it the other day but now I cant seem to locate it

[tl24]

So can anyone post up the differences between .168 and .174?

sure.. .174 > .168 in battery life

[YorkshirePudding]

I have that issue with media disappearing after an upgrade too. Doesn't really bother me though as I always use the explore option to get to my ebook, audiobook and podcast folders anyway.

[tl24]

Anything is better then nothing, guess i'll update phone to .174 when i get home!

[ClintRo]

You have no battery life???
