I have the green GO button on my landscape and portrait keyboard with v.103
Anyone running slingmobile with .103?
I lost my browser, could not connect to BIS, my BlackBerry Maps would not start.
I called Verizon and in a couple of minutes the tech sent me the service books OTA, I told him that it happened right after I installed the leaked OS, he said sometimes during the install their servers are down or time out and this causes this glitch. It was quick and all is working fine.
I went from .75 to .103. The battery life is bad for me in .103. I lost my "Browser" icon but got it back after a battery pull. I like the keyboard in portrait mode better in .103. The speed of everything seems to be improved in .103. .103 did freeze twice on me in 7 days and generally .75 seemed more stable in general.
I'm not going back but I'm hopping the next release stabilizes things.

I am new to BB as far as using my own equipment where I can try making OS changes. I have been using .103 for about a week. Installed fine, and seems to be much better than the Verizon .75 .
Better:
1. much faster on accellerator
2. less lagging and hanging (still there but not as often)
3. bluetooth connectivity with Mac and new style Jawbone
a.Jawbone would not initialize voice ativation on .75, with .103 it does
b.download video to Mac via bluetooth (.75 wouldn't talk to Mac at all)
4. screen lock unlocks automatically when unholstered (.75 never worked for me)
negativity:
1. I wish I could download apps. to my Mac(or PC) then install instead of having to surf on BB to download and install
2. still hangs on occasion
3. need more apps. (compared to Iphone it is a desert)
4. bugs in apps. (I downloaded weatherbug and can't get past the initial screen,,,,yes I turned off location)
overall, I love my Storm. It is sexy and even my friends with Iphones think it is cool. I can only imagine how good it is going to get, if only it would get there quicker.:p
PS I forgot to mention to the Mac users out there, I use VMware Fusion to run Win XP to load the OS. works great!
the PocketMac software is serious work to make it usable but once you make it work, is great for iTunes, Entourage.
Ok this OS had life of only a day or two...
The longer I had it the more unstable it became. Freezing screens, accuracy issues,
You name it this ones got bugs!

I am a bit surprised by the continued varied responses to the .103 and other OS releases. I suspect it has to do with how that particular OS related to the specific installed apps/settings on each Storm.
For me, .103 is, by far, the best and most stable OS to date. None of the others were close. Again this is for me, with my apps and my settings. YMMV. I gained much memory, gained stability (over .99), no lockups. And man oh man, most of all the accelerometer is finally de-sensitized enough so that if I accidentally tip it a bit, it doesn't try to move to landscape. IT is about perfect now.
The whole OS itself, including typing, could be faster I think. But so far .103 is great ..
.103 is great for me.
However, the only thing I still need is faster typing response.
Still has not been an OS that I can type fast and effective with.
I don't know if this has been said or not, but has anyone else noticed that some of the browser settings are gone? Like the one to change it from BB, to IE to firefox. I was playing with it just now and I noticed that.
hey guys the issue may not be with .103. i work for Verizon and we were told that over the last week or 2 there has been several issues with the bb server. i had to re-send my service books and it all started working fine.. just a thought
Thought I would add this here to!
Possible Activation Work Around
My second post EVER on any forum! No laughing! Just bought a 9530 couple days ago and just last night updated to .103. Update went flawlessly, phone was back to the way I had it with .75 that it came with.....except for it was not active...no phone, no internet. Did not want to drive and have a IT guy reactivate it for me so I started messing around.....sorry if this fix that worked for me is on here and I missed it but here it is.
#1 - Connect your bricked phone to DM and make sure you are connected to the internet.
#2 - Dial any phone number!
With mine after I dialed the number and it realized I had no service it shut itself down and rebooted. When it fished the boot, I was back up and running 100%. That's it! and by the way going from .75 to .103 is amazing...huge improvments. I have a brand new phone. Hope this helps someone.
changed from .103 (see above results) to .106 Hybrid. So far even faster and more stable.
Been running .103 since 2nd Day available. Its a great OS being a heavy user hear are a couple of issues I've noticed from .99
-Poor reception and A LOT of dropped call (3 to 4 a day)
-Battery dies when I receive a lot of Corp emails
-Memory drain
Anybody else? Could all of these be attribited to syncing with corp BB server?
.103 is great!!! Would just like to see better res quality and a bang on accelerometer!
Does anyone know how you can speed up the phone I have a small box clock that keeps appearing so i cant function the phone quick like answering calls or checking messages.....Also does any one know how you can forward picture messages all i get is a blank grey,black,blue box where the picture is supposed to be? I guess I need some help
Have you done battery pull lately?

odd - plugged it in to wall charger last night (9:00pm) - unplugged at 10:00am, turned on and phone rebooted...
has worked very well for me.
fast
camera way better
texting more responsive
only problem i have it the locking
Can you use .106 with the 9530?
love it, everything is faster and works. no problems with anything. jumped from .75. thanks
That's my only major complaint, too.
I was told in the .109 forum that .103 has support for blue tooth stereo in the media / video player. Can someone confirm that is true?
Thanks!
Sorry if this has been mentioned - I did a search of the thread and must have missed it.
Desktop Manager is not recognizing that I installed .103 on my machine. I restarted the comp but still nothing - it says the newest update is .75 . I know it should show up on the list because I upgraded to .90 (and later downgraded) and that was on the list until I uninstalled it. Am I missing something?
Here is my input on 103.
Sorry for typos I'm at work lol. It didn't go well from the start. Loaded 103 and it was still laggin. So I tried the 106 hybrid. It was a little better but still lagging. Last night I read a post about disconnecting your internet when running the loader because it can mess up and change to different files or something along those lines. So I did that and ran the loader going back to 103. Everything is fast now... Accelerometer, browser, maps, typing, everything lighting fast. I'm guessing dissconecting my network solved my problem. Will report back in a few days.
Just like .99 I was nervous but respectful. I did each step correct and I dotted all me i's and crossed all my T's and it was a success!
