The good new is that testing is going quite well, hoping that we arent going to give you guys/gals a heart attack and quick release this version. 2 in a week is a lot.

I have heard a few nightmare stories about the 694 OS again so 658 sfi still looks like a good bet. Any we are still hoping that 714 might even appear for the 9900 lol

What do you mean by nightmare iFraser? The .sfi is abit lousy is it?

[ifraser]

694, apps not loading correctly, sfi dropping off, app are all lower versions that 7.1.0.523

Just a few good reasons to not use it

[zocster]

694 is like 437 from the west

Hi zocster ifraser and all

I'm using your hybrid rc5 then rc5b2 since a few days...

I have trouble using the wifi hotspot tool... I can connect my playbook to my 9900, but then no network connection is available.... Appworld or any apps cannot work...
I have your java mix with the 569 sfi....
As far as i remember, when using the rc 3which i started with, that problem didn't occur...

Is it a bug of the hybrid ? Or maybe could you advise me on what to do about ?


Many thx !

That is an odd one, I too use my playbook attached by Hotspot and this has not occurred using any of the Hybrids.

Have you tried using a laptop through hotspot to check if you get the same issue, it could be the Playbook wifi issue. I have the latest Beta on my Playbook and it is quite stable with wifi connection but before it would drop off.

where could i get 714?

Just being curious, I have tried AT&T 694 combined with RC6A and 658.
And after multiple wipe and reload, it just won't work on my 9900.

694, replaced java only with RC6A, error 602
694, replaced umts only with 658 sfi, constant reboot request
694, replaced all (java RC6A with 658 sfi), constant reboot request

658, replaced java only with 694, error 602
658, replaced umts only with 694 sfi, error 602
658, replaced java with RC6A and 694 sfi, error 602

I was gonna tried RC5 or earlier, but I gave up.
Now I'm back with 658 sfi and RC6A java

Don't used 694 sfi with any hybrids, it will cause errors, hybrid has to be made specific for 694 only. just for fun I made one for 694, so far it's looking good...

And we will have that in testing asap, I am still not convinced that the radio will be better
than the 658 one but we can always try it.

Patiently waiting... I need to low my level of anxiety, soo... any medication or alcool will help Not having a heart atack
On a more serious note : do your awesome job, as always! and thanks for that!

[dkgip]

I decided to skip .694 and went with rc6a-1 on .658...so far very smooth. One question, there were two sfi files, one being labeled .523, I went with the other. Which sfi is that--.658?

Hows the .694 sfi treating you Sator?

[JCangoku]

hi again ... !

tested from 2 other devices in addition of the playbook...

still the same : i connect to my hotspot without a problem, but then i can't navigate on net or use any apps requiring data...

should I try to change hotspot cod or sfi ?
is the rc6 alpha stable ? if yes i will upgrade and see...
else i'll downgrade.

thx !

For my carrier/Telkomsel, It's a lil bit fluctuated like 658, I had to change some cods to make it stable, and for 694 so far it's better than the original OS..., later on this build is gonna be tested, and for the 658 sfi, I'm still working on it, adding some 694 cods...

.658 sfi is a lil bit flactuates...it's very sensitive to signal changes...

The neew build is done and it's gonna be tested by our team. Let's see in a couple of days...

@Sator, have been on .658 for approx 36 hours now and if the initial experience is anything to go by then you have a winner on your hands.

A Cool sfi (maintains temp in the early twenties) and i personally have not had any fluctuations of signals and pretty smooth device (not as much as it was with 5b2), i did mention this yesterday and maintain the same.

[maxx71]

Please all take some advice and do not try to use 694 from AT n T. Although the OS number us high. The majority of the OS is older than 523.

Now for the Good news: The Alpha 2 trial has started well. Reloaded and the handset has settled very quickly. Signal is good and stable for wifi and 3G. And it has held battery very well considering I have been making a lot of calls tonight.

For me in the UK the 658 radio is looking good.

We will keep you updated but tomorrow is another day.

Advice is well taken, would not touch .694 with a barge pole.......

Not encountered any issues with BIS today, could be an area specific issue !

Thanks seems OK now.

[damianiw]

We had bb voda issues in uk, my personal one on orange ok so go figure - voda quoted 70% users had issue not voda specific.

Family are all on different non voda networks and no issues so we should buy lottery tickets if it really was only 30% ok

That sounds like the problem I was having here in South Florida on T-Mobile the other day. I thought it was something I did when loading RC5B2 but it turned out to be a RIM issue.

[deezy87]

Just be patient...lol, it takes time to build a good hybrid, now it's being tested by our team, the new build consist of 580, 649, 658, 714 cods. I haven't used 694 since it's released after I have finished the build, let's see what I can do with 694 cods...
IMO this new build is pretty solid and the browser is fast as always, Zocster and Ian will release it as soon as they feel it's good and stable....just watch this thread.

Why doesn't the BL team apply at RIM!? After being shown what you guys can pump out, free of bugs, fast as f*ck I don't see why you guys can't be on the OS team....just imagine lol
