Your apps are attached to your appworld, so, no issues there. I have loaded many OS and as long as you have appworld, it will be there.

You have just installed the OS, you expect miracles already?

It won't happen over night, but it will happen!

Lol doubt it will get lower...even 4% is considered high drain according bb device analyzer

dude you cant judge the phones battery discharge rate accurately, after only 1 hour since installing and then restoring the phone and having it register on the network....all WHILE playing with the phone and using it. i mean jeeez.......give it a day or two to level off.

Another flawless update. All apps and settings were all restored, yaa! Had an app error for fancy smileys on initial boot. But have had no issues on subsequent reboots. Browser does seem faster on wifi. The .com button appears on keyboard when typing in browser, very cool. Not much else I have notices yet, ( hey, its still within the first hour. Lol ).

Long waiting got over. Immediately downloaded and got installed. disappointed not to find FM radio application! Has anyone got it and working? FM radio is working on 9360 OS 7.1.
I have noticed that left and right swapping in mail box view is not working. Battery seems to be good. Hope There will be relief from .585 battery bug reducing from 100% to 91%.

Woohoo!! Finally update my OS! from 7.0.0.296 to 7.1.0.190 and it went smoothly. just given its 2nd battery pull. :) and instantly see the mobile hotspot feature. but I notice that I have a little application memory left. on .296 I have 193mb but now on 7.1 i have 177.7mb. checking it out now! so happy!! btw, all of my apps,settings and data are restored by apploader during the process :D

my hotspot works on att, but im paying for a 4 gig data plan with tethering...
edit: wrong thread!

Has anyone who's on Digicel been able to use the mobile hotspot?

Any UMA support (wifi preferred)?

I am missing characters on my keyboard with this upgrade. I get blacked out boxes where numbers or symbols should be. And one of the symbols I use for passwords is missing. Anyone else?

47713 browsermark, fantastic!

Very fast!!!!

Correction, it is only happening in typing in user name and password for Social Scope.

First impressions:

Battery life seems Ok.
scrolling thru webpages is kinda sluggish
can't get mobile hotspot to work on Globe Telecom(Philippines)

I also have a new message icon that says "Emergency Alert Messages" anyone know that this is?

I have installed this release, here is my review :
- Battery indicator fix, before in 585 from 100% drop to 91%, now back to normal
- BBM contact recovery so fast, usually takes time to get all picture profile update.
- Browser , little bit faster ( my assumption)
- New Hotspot menu
- Camera focus faster then 585

thanks

Dammit, I need a tethering plan from AT&T!!! Gotta be some way around this!

+1, what the is emergency alert mesages?

finally, appworld doesn't feel like it's taken down the entire platform when trying to download multiple items!

i've installed this software , deleted two vendor.xml files and load it on the phone using blackberry desktop software ..
everything went smooth , the application and contacts restored ..
applications are working ,, downloaded bbm 6.1.0.37 from from the beta zone
and it's working fine ..

-battery life is to early to judge

- u can enable quick select for the language



- new look to manage the languages and u dont have to restart the phone when u remove a language ( it's not black background by the way ,, i capture it and it shows like that xD )



- u can the the .com button when u r typing in the browser



- options > Device > Advanced system settings > BlackBerry Device Anlayser




- Mobile hotspot is working :D

well ,, that's all what i've noticed :P ..

How did you manage to download from the Beta Zone when its not available in Bahrain? I'd love to be able to from U.A.E. ;)

Yes, I was able to set it up, however I didnt connect any clients to it.

EDIT - Tested and it works.

search Google for a proxy site ,, i prefer site that change the IP address to usa

when u find one just write the beta zone site inside the proxy site and click register now ..

I didn't try to regist with my country information ( city , address , zip code ... etc )
i registed with random information from USA ..

How about back/menu button issues?

This will be Operator dependant. With my carrier, I dont need it (for now), I just need to have the required APN provisioned to my SIM and account.

to me this 7.1 is nothing but just newest os, i think it's worst
media player sound is too low,
batt is the same..still drain
application memory still worst....
swiping in message mode is only working for bbm...

c'on RIM,are you sleeping or what ????
