Wow. What a difference. All of my apps work, the speed is awesome, and threaded messaging is great. It also fixed the bluetooth issue as well. RIM you need to get on this set and make whatever bugs for different apps work.
The only thing it seems is I have a lot less memory even after the shrink. About 90Mb instead of my normal 103Mb.
I just went to 5.0 last night... LOVE the threaded SMS.
BUT
The only thing thats bugging me is I have no "mulitmedia" icon where when you open it, it brings up your pics, vids, ringtones, and voice recordings. Under applications there is an icon for EACH pic, vid, ringtone ect... but i like all of them under one icon that I used to have on my homescreen.
So did mine get messed up or did they remove that icon for 5.0?
I want to do it but I am too chicken to do it. Too scared of bricking my phone
nothing really to be scared about its just simple directions and wa la its there and works like a charm, you really cant brick a blackberry to the point where you cant use it. But its a very simple process even if you have never done anything like it before.
Thanks for your help....I've asked in a few other threads and some people reply like you are stupid or something. I just started learning this stuff and just found this forum to ask questions on
I was worried at first. Its so easy though and bricking it is pretty tough.
DL 5.0.230 to your PC
DL 7.11 hybrid to your PC
run 7.11
check the box in the top that says something about java folder
delete stuff you dont want by placing a check next to it
hit 'shrink my os'
hit launch loader
I've found that deleting old emails and text really speeds it up
Idk anything about hybrid, I'm the wrong person to ask about that lol
I did find out that the media icon was removed for 5.0 (stupid imo)
But Are there noted problems with 5.0 and Pandora Radio? Just tried listening for the first time and it froze the song on the last 25 seconds. At first I thought it was just Pandora so I skipped to the next song and continued to listen. Then again the last 25 seconds and it froze up. Skipped to next song and froze again
