I know this is a stupid question but how can I tell that I have this BL7 hybrid on my phone.

[zocster]

Should show 714 if I remember correctly

Hi All,
Was running RC8a since it was released and IMO is the best till date. Super smooth OS with fantastic ADr and Mdr, Awesome signal strenght and signal locking just to name some of the performance areas. Can't remember having an OS this long on my device.....lol

Well just moved to 7.1.0.794 to give myself a reality check !
Not impressed with this one for the time being atleast. It will need some BL magic before it becomes usable !

I sincerely do appreciate the Awesome work of the BL crew when i use the official OS and find out the difference between them

Cheers mate ...

Well we all know the RIM OS's don't stand a chance next to BL hahaha. What else can you tell us about 794? Any obvious changes?

[ifraser]

ok folks, we are pending another new release but until then get you teeth into a bit
of BL Ultimate RC 8 Beta 1

It will also be available on the first post of the thread.

Ultimate v2.1 is also on its way.

Suggested base is OS 7.1.0.746 and sfi is either 746 or 714

[hndt38]

ifraser,

I have a problem with RC8B1. I don't have the TCP/IP in Options>Device>Advanced System Settings
I use 7.1.0.746 base + sfi .746.

Thanks

[shawnyew]

same here, it is blank for TCP/IP in Options>Device>Advanced System Settings
not sure if it's my handset problem or has not fully settled yet, adr is 10-15%/hr, very very very less usage. moderate and heavy can go up to 20%

[audio_engr]

MOVED from 8A1 >>> to >>> 8B1

Using .746 Rogers as Base OS & .714 Voda UK for sfi + shrink

I think you should update your profile then

Well, it is not that good for starters !
Device runs Hot and not very good signal latching ( constant call drops and signal jumping) but does well with wifi connected. Device runs in the late 20's ( celcius) and while in use goes upto 38 degrees celcius.

Nothing new to write about except the new you tube logo. BBM is 6.2.0.56.

Will move to BL build today, can't take this anymore

Sorry guys for the RC8B1 empty TCP Settings, attached the TCP patch, use BBH Tools to inject the cod.

Does it impact battery consumption more compare to RC7B2? Although, I haven't tried RC8B1 but my experience with A1 and return2 has been high ADR (6-7%) on normal usage while RC7B2, it is around 3-4%. Should you still recommend to test RC8B1 or wait for your next release, probably with .794 codes.

There is only one way to find out.......try it out
I had tried 8a and it worked very well for me......i did a full wipe and factory reset before i loaded it on my device and did a selective restore.
There are .755cods in 8b and if Sator says it is better it ought to be for sure !

I feel you should give 8b a shot !

[BigwhiteUK]

Been 2 hours since I put RC8B1 and loving it...... smooth, fast, low temp, excellent signal. A little too early for battery and memory, but looking dam good

IMO all BL ultimate builds from RC6 to RC 8B1 have similar ADR rates (+/- 1%), maybe you had a bad install Audio. RC8B1 is slightly better than RC8A1, your ADR depends on your usage patterns, 3rd apps installed, device settings (brightness, backlight time out etc.).

Up and running on RC8B1

Fast booting time from the off.

Requested to update both BB Protect and BBID after install.

Cool running, smooth and fast browser

Battery or course is a wait and see.

Thanks as always to Sator, the RC builds just seem to work better for me that Returns do.

Bringon RC9 !!!

+1 on RC working better for me than Returns.
RC9....hmmm......BL has to work extra hard with the .794 OS ( it reminds me of .649), IMO .746 will be an upgrade to .794...lol
Will be joining you soon on 8b

Fat .714 for me.

It is the "gold standard" .sfi for my 9900 until something that doesn't run hot comes along with a new OS.

The same one for me, Legal but this time i thought about it for a couple of minutes. Ian had a run with .746 sfi with good results... But i�ve tryed different sfi�s to just return to the "Gold standard" as you well named it...
