- I love this build, but one issue may make me downgrade. Haven't seen anyone else mention it, so maybe it is one of those unique problems to one user.
My phone is set up to automatically go to bedside mode when I put it in the charger stand. I also set it for Silent Mode. I have my wife's number set up as an exception so that if she calls or SMSs me when I am sleeping (she works late nites) then I will still get the ring. Well, it stopped working with .411. Worked fine with .238. I really need to be able to get her calls if necessary. i have deleted the exception and remade it to no avail.
Anyone else experience this?

Not a problem for me -- I won't have to go through all of those freakin' Facebook birthdays on the calendar again -- but I can see how it would be a problem for you, though.12-16-09 01:21 PMLike 0 - Upgraded from the latest AT&T release to 5.0.0.411 two days ago and have been very happy with the results. Was nervous about some of the install problems mentioned here so I decided to try BBSAK for the first time and it was very easy. Had no installation problems and so far no bugs jumping out at me. I have not seen the improvement in reboot speed that some report, but it's not any slower either.
Applications are definitely more 'snappy', battery life is actually a bit better and I love all the changes to the UI. I am also especially happy with the 0-10 volume levels - no more 'Low - Med - High' crap!
As of now I see no reason to go back to 4.6 land!12-16-09 03:04 PMLike 0 - Yes, if you use XP 4.6 works fine, but 5.x is much faster synch and is better with 5.x OS versions.. Give it a try!12-16-09 06:39 PMLike 0

- I installed this last night but i fell asleep before I had a chance to play with it. Here's what I think this morning.
Pros: Overall this is much faster, more responsive, and better looking than any beta I've tried. The browser is lightning fast, after the fix of course. the threaded messaging is uncluttered and responsive. And the signal strength is much improved, though I don't see how. The best signal I ever got in my apartment was -98, but right now it's -77.
Cons: Quickpull doesn't work. After i registered it, I reset my schedule. It's supposed to reset in the middle of the night, but when I woke up this morning the app was open with a message saying "phone will reboot in 5 seconds, press escape button to cancel". Well apparently it had been sitting there for hours. When I tried to manually run QP, I got an error message directing me to the device log for details. If anyone has found a fix please post it here.
EDIT - After playing with it a little more the signal is holding strong at -69, which to say is really freaking awesome! The file free is just under 40 after batt pull, which isn't great, in fact it's the lowest I've ever seen with a beta, but I still got plenty to spare. Just wish QP worked.Last edited by LittleRedDot; 12-17-09 at 05:41 AM.

Once you have the 507 error, then load the OS on your phone.
@LittleRedDot - With this beta, unless you have an app that leaks memory, there is no reason to reset the phone nightly like previous 4.6.X versions. The OS itself is very solid. Best leak in quite a while.12-17-09 06:14 AMLike 0 - I tried it when I upgraded to .238 and had some problems. I'm not sure whether it was because of DM 5.0 or Vista. Also, I installed BBSAK 1.7 on the Vista computer and it wouldn't even connect (sigh). I just got Windows 7, which I'm planning to put on the Vista computer this weekend -- hopefully that will allow me to use DM 5.0.12-17-09 07:10 AMLike 0
- I get an odd digital "clicking" that I've never heard before every once and a while on a call. I thought it might be related to the strength of the signal, but I'm not sure.12-17-09 07:14 AMLike 0
- I have encountered a new problem tht I wasn't having initially. I have a folder for all 6 of the email addresses tht I get pushed to bb. i got up yesterday with an icon showing i had 9 emails. Went to the email folder and all my email icons were gone. Can't find them anywhere, can't find anything in options to make them show up. Did multiple battery pulls and re-sent service books at least 4 times and still aren't in there. I seem to be getting all my email, I just have to go to the messages folder to read them. This occurred after doing the browser fix with crackutil. I also seem to be having problems getting opera mini to load. I click on icon and it goes to install but when I click on "accept" it just closes. Any ideas?12-17-09 07:58 AMLike 0

This will be the first time I may have to wipe my device.
Also I read somewhere that it is necessary to have the current device OS in the PC for loader to detect. Is it because of this reason that I am not getting anyOS detection.
Since I have a new win 7 Pc and 5.0.1 DM installed along with .411 OS. The moment I load my current .282 OS it is detected by loader. I posted an image few posts back.12-17-09 08:21 AMLike 0 - Hi. So tks for helping me out. I am still not able to detect the new OS through loader. So suggest me which is the best way to wipe my device and which app I should use. Will I be able to get all my backup, back along with my apps.

Please.. if you feel so unsure on how to perform an upgrade, don�t do it, keep your official .282 which works fine. Playing with beta releases is risky and you need some expertise...12-17-09 09:40 AMLike 0 - I can't get either crackutil or bbsak to recognize phone after installing .411. I reinstalled os on pc running vista and on laptop with w7. When I plug bb into usb, it will install drivers but when I try to pull up crackutil or bbsak, it says either password is incorrect or device not connected. There shouldn't be a password as I have never used one. I need to get crackutil to work so I can do the browser fix sice it somehow overrode the one i did for the previous %.0 os I used. Any help?
Solution: Uninstall DM and BBSAK then, reinstall DM for "all users" and also BBSAK for "all users" it has something to do not being able to access the USB drivers ... BBSAK may need to be run as admin I can not remember but I assure you it works!
I have no problems with doing anything on my BB with W7 ... I prefer DM 4.7, plus, you need the USB drivers from this version (or 4.6) for that leaked "RIM" software that shall not be mentioned ...
hope that helpsLast edited by blowtorch; 12-17-09 at 10:33 AM.
12-17-09 09:51 AMLike 0 - Are you kidding me! Of course you need to have the desired OS installed in your PC. Most of my previous posts trying to help you out mentioned this "obvious" issue. You download .411 INSTALL IT IN YOUR PC and run apploader.exe... I think I said this no less than 10 times in this thread.

I don't know what else to suggest to you other than the wipe. That should force App Loader to recognize that you're in need of an OS. The best way to wipe is with BBSAK. It only takes a minute or so. Your Bold will reboot to a white screen with a 507: reload software message. Connect to App Loader and install the OS. You will be able to restore your data and 3d party apps after installing the OS, assuming, obviously, you've made those backups.12-17-09 11:03 AMLike 0 - tks Scout36. You got me wrong. I perfectly understand your post . What I was trying to put across is do I need to have .282 as well as .411 on my PC. In any case I will hold on to .282 as you said. I tried all pros and cons but have had no success only with 5.x update though i have had success with all 4.6 OS updates.
I never do this, I just install the newer version. When I run de apploader it always runs the latest version installed.
I would try wiping my device... and then install .411, what happens to you is something I never came across before.Last edited by scouts36; 12-17-09 at 01:30 PM.
12-17-09 12:01 PMLike 0 - Wiping the device should do the trick, have you tried manually opening app loader and initiating the install?
If the build is solid and there's no memory leak, then a nightly reset wouldn't be beneficial. But I still Want to use the quick pull application, so has anyone encountered this problem and/or have a possible fix?
