Leaked: OS 6.0.0.600 for the BlackBerry Torch 9800 Findings and Fixes
- I've been using it all day with hardly a noticeable difference..
Maybe the "flickering" of the panels as they slide left-right they get darker for a second but I think that always happened.
It seems like the only real difference I notice between my different experiences with OS6 leaks involves the homescreen experience:
-Smooth scrolling through the icons up and down
-Smooth shifts between Panels
-Smooth scroll-down of the notification bar
...I seems like each OS excels in 2 of the categories but is miserably choppy in 1....06-22-11 12:21 AMLike 0 -
BlackBerry Bridge seems about the same.
Very slow browsing from BlackBerry News links was remedied by a couple battery pulls.
No apparent difference in GPS for me.06-22-11 02:38 AMLike 0 -
- Loaded yesterday at first notice a huge change in battery drain but after a few battery pulls and a nice full charge it has recovered. Am not getting the clock as much as before (when playing angry farm and loading other games). How ever so far battery life has been good (in a place with not so good signal and am still sitting at 5.5% draw). the browser seems a little snappier again could be because of the fresh install but i was getting the clock when opening some pictures from twitter and since the new install that has gone, Also noticed that the menu is much more responsive but could be to the fresh install. also had no trouble with the install just had to do a few battery pulls to get the drain under 15%. Will update with any new findings06-22-11 07:53 AMLike 0
- Meterberry is showing 1% discharge rate when idle. This increases to 3% with light use, which is an increase from about 1.8 -> 2% which I had with 534 and 576.
So, the battery perfromance (at least for me) is not great, and probably worse.
Data is also more internittent. I can see 3G, but have no browser access. I've seen this problem in the past with other builds, and others haven't mentioned it, so it could be Vodafone specific.
Definately no reason to upgrade to this ...06-22-11 08:09 AMLike 0 - I got all the way to the install shield wizard and then I got this error messgae. "ERROR 1402. Could not open key: UKNOWN32/BbDevMgr.BbClientManager.1CLSID. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel"( you guys). Any help would be appreciated, I don't want to be stuck on .526 FOREVER!06-22-11 08:23 AMLike 0

- Couple things I've noticed (I came from .570).
1. The cut and copy seems to be improved. It would randomly not copy when selecting via screen, used to have to select via context menu.
2. Deleting mails seems much, much faster. On .570 it was painful to hit the delete button.
3. Browser is clearly quicker.06-22-11 08:53 AMLike 0 - Well I have tried eevry .5xx build and this .600 build. The one improvement I see is that unlike with other .5xx builds I do not get constant hourglasses. However im going back to .448 which seems to be the sweet spokt for me every time due to its amazing data throughput.
Huge difference if you see the screenshots. Web pages, downloading emails and files has always been lightning fast on 448 compared to any other build.
Maybe someone can make a new hybrid with the network code from 448 because its a winnerLast edited by ellandry; 06-22-11 at 09:20 AM.

Vendor files does need to be deleted as this is a leaked version. Yoy may also wish to redownload the file from one of the links earlier on in this same thread.
I hope this helps!06-22-11 10:00 AMLike 0 - Is it just me or when you're charging the phone, the charging/battery icon now has a smooth pulse animation. I never noticed this before. I came from .450.06-22-11 01:25 PMLike 0
- Only thing I have notice is all my apps do not show up in app world anymore? Did an uninstall & re-install of app world & no change as well as a few battery pulls. Will try a sync with my PC tonight at home.
Battery as good & looks to be better than .576. Browser is for sure quicker (on my phone anyway).
Annoying app screen bugg still exists though.
So far a solid build IMO.

- I too am a 448 user, I run dozens of apps, some ported as cods directly from a OS5 Bold 9000. They all work every time. I read all the posts and always go meh, not worth the hassle of having to reactivate all these 3rd party apps. I upgraded OSes every time on the Bold, but flashed 448 onto this when I got it and have never looked back (or forward). Simply turning off the compress data feature seemed to have overcome the hourglass issue for me. Maybe I'm just turning into a curmudgeon, but I will keep watching for an OS upgrade that offers new features.

Moderate use today (from 9am), few calls, sms and facebook, I had to re-charge fon at 6pm.
Did anyone of you tried options on pop up menu, or even on the options>display>homescreen preferences? It just pop's out and kick you out. jajaja06-22-11 10:14 PMLike 0 -

Chrged phone over night and with very little usage- no wifi, bluetooth- battery was drained by 2pm today. That's almost half a day of battery life. I've never experienced this before. Everythig else seems the same except the browser has new interface. I'm going to see how it performs for a few more days. If it continues I'm trying 448
