Newest 8530 Official OS 5.0.0.601 (byVirgin Mobile US)

Had upgraded about 2 hrs. ago. I am havin some minor issues. My notification light would not stop blinking, but I did a battery pull and that has resolved, for now. Also, after taking a picture and it gives that bar of options at the bottom of my screen the trackpad is ultra sensitive, and its kinda hard to get the option I want highlighted. I was also wondering, since I'm fairly new to blackberry, can anyone give me some insight on that sms lockup problem?

Other than that was a great upgrade. Already noticing better battery life and more responsive.

Odd, I'm not having any troubles with the trackpad on that screen.
It does however kinda flicker weirdly though.

So i deleted the vendor.XML, and installed, but i'm still on 4.6 ? how is this possible ?
I have a BB curve 8520

This is for 8530. There is one for yours but its beta last time I saw it.

And you didn't nuke it? Wow! Good job!

No issues at camera screen. No flashing or super sensitivity.

No more low res image problems in Pictures, speed seems good, battery life seems good, network seems good.

All good here, no problems to report.

Signal is slightly better (I spend a good amount of my day in a walk in cooler) and I have just enough signal to not drop service now.

Forgot I had XP on dual boot on my iMac. Followed the directions and worked like a charm. However, I haven't noticed any improvements from the latest Sprint release (.459?)

Anyone get a hold of the release notes yet? I want to see them... :)

I did notice my IHeartRadio app no longer works. Thats not good.

Bing doesn't work.

Does it fix the play/pause/standby button issue;
where if you stop your music, and resume to whatever you're doing, pressing the play/pause/standby button plays your music again -_____-
?

Trsbbs, I can confirm that iheartradio isn't working. I dl'ed it just to see. Decypher44, bing works fine on my end.

I'm going back to 508. 601 seems unstable from media to life of the battery. When playing media you can see through the highlighted icon keys which is kinda annoying.

Yes, I might do the same. The battery life on .601 is not the greatest. Was much better on .508

I noticed that too with the media keys, other then not being able to use you tube at all now, and had to do a battery pull. Had a SMS icon that wouldn't go away. Everything else seems to be a little better, battery, signal, music and video (just not youtube and the transparent icons) I don't know, I will stay with it for awhile. 8530 on sprint.

Sorry to hear you all are having trouble...i've been running 601 for a day so far without issue...maybe I spoke too soon.

No problems here... seems better than .508. More responsive and better battery life.

Seems like I'm getting better battery life than the last Sprint official. I can get iheartradio to open, but as soon as it's about to play, it stops. Weird. Finally got Bing to work. Wouldn't work after OS update. Un-then-reinstalled and it works fine.



If I finally went to the trouble of booting into windows, installing the apploader, updating my phone....and it's worse.... Well, I'll cry a little inside. But, so far so good.

Gear85 and Creep138, I don't seem to have the same issue you guys are talking about. All works well while playing media. Also, my battery life has been WORLDS better than it was with .508. My phone would be almost dead by the time I left work with .508, but now it will stay around half with the same amount of use.

Sprint Navigation is not working on 601. Anybody else having this issue?

What I really want is an OS .711 or higher...I want quickpull back.

Can anyone confirm if Opera Mini 4.2 works with this OS? It doesn't work with .508
