9530 4.7.0.103 OS Findings Only

Not sure if this has been stated yet but my battery life on my phone has increased. I've been using my phone all day yeaterday as follows: Light use phone calls; heavy texting, webbrowsing, pictures most of the day. I forgot to put my phone on my charger last night and waking up I thought I was going to find my phone dead. Well, picked it up and looked at it and I have 3 bars left on the battery! WOW. Usually either I see the warning on it that the battery is to low or the phone would be off. This release is great. I think by keeping the display off at all times when the phone is locked (display will not go on when you press the screen as prior, will only go on if you press the lock button

Help! Please! Just upgraded to .103 and my email accounts have disappeared! How do I get them back?

Contacts are also gone! This sucks big time! Please HELP!!!!!!!

If you did a backup of your storm before installing .103 you should just restore you lost data, contacts etc. As for email accounts log into your Verizon BIS site and resend your service books so you can get your emails going.

Thanks for the reply! I got the contacts restored, now how do I log onto Verizon BIS site? Sorry, total noob to BB.:o

How do I make the browser faster or is .103 just slow

Nevermind, I got it! Thanks a ton for your help!:D

Just some findings on .103 through 24hrs

I went from .75>.90>.99>.103

--.103 seems slightly faster navigating through menus than .99, a little snappier. not a big jump like .75 to .90, but still a little more noticeable
--unlock definitely works faster than .99, takes under a second to unlock.
--lock seems actually slower. Most times I press lock I get the little black clock for a second, then nothing, then it locks. takes about 3-4 seconds.
--camera works about the same as .99. Maybe tad bit slower shutter speed. Nothing to be upset about
--I noticed if its in portrait and not on the home page, it switches to the home page right before the backlight goes out (i have auto dim off, as should everyone!). Slightly annoying if you get bad timing and go to do something just as it starts to dim, but otherwise doesnt effect anything I guess.
--havent used the browser a ton yet, but .99 was the fastest for me and this seems the same. Hasnt slowed, just not sure if its faster.
--quicklaunch (using right side quick key) loads up fast
--pictures load well. Music plays well so far.
--resolution still low like .99. Can really see it in the folder icon lines and in media screen. Crappy, but wont make me switch back to .75

overall it seems stable and i'm definitely happy with it. I dont regret going up from .99

Lock is super slow
Camera is faster
A lot longer on start-up
Great look overall, I like the smaller icons
Installed for 5 days and no major issues or battery pulls besides install...

Hi, I tried to load version 103 but some how is giving me a white screen and in the middle it read app error 523 rest.. i try to rest but it goes back to the same screen.. and now my phone will not connect to DM or loader... what can I do?

Anyone know where to get the download now i click the link and all i get is this

Unfortunately, the link you have clicked is not available.
Reasons for this may include:
- Invalid link
- The file has been deleted because it was violating our Terms of service.

not sure if it's been covered but my quick pull no longer works. When it asks if I'm sure that I want to reset and I hit yes it just goes back to the home screen.

I've only been running .103 for a few days but it's been pretty solid. The only thing I had happen that was a bit odd was last night: when pressing the BB menu key from the main page to see my home menu it kept bringing up the app menu like I had held it down. Kept it up even after a few pulls...

It seems to be working fine now tho, must've been a fluke or something.

i get massive typing lag any way to fix this

After doing my only upgrade (from VZ factory original), I got excited about trying out the AppleBerry theme (which I did download - ver 8.) The problem is that Options/Themes/BB contains neither the "switch theme" nor the "download theme" options. They are simply missing.

Is there a way to either fix this or a work-around that will allow me to get a new theme installed on my 9350? I am running DM 4.7.0.32 on a PC running XP Pro.

Thank you! -Pat

appleberry is an OTA. when loaded properly it will be waiting for you in your options > themes

I have been downloading the updates since .75. .103 is good but not great. I have to perform at 3 to 4 battery pulls per week because the phone would become un-responsive. Usually, while I'm in the middle of using Blackberry messenger. I use that more than SMS. I really want RIM to get this right. I left Sprint to get this phone and I'm excited about its potential.

I found a bug with adding/editing folders. You can go to add or edit a folder but then the "save/cancel" buttons pop up it wont let me choose either of them. They press but do not work. I have to end up hitting the back button and then it doesn't save whatever I did.


The lock function is soooo slow. Its starting to get annoying. Unlock is still great though.

Been running .103 for about a week and the only thing I have noticed is the keyboard lag. I can live with that because everything else on my Storm is working great! Battery not that bad, over a day. Memory is staying around 42-47 and all apps are working flawlessly as well as my browser.

You can add folders in landscape mode.

I notice that I can't add a new contact. When I try to save, it just doesn't save. All I can do is "discard."

Anyone else had this problem?

I'm finding the same issue with my battery. I installed 103 last night and already my battery is down to 1 bar, and its been less than 8 hours. Any suggestions beside going back to .75?

Yea - move to .109. It has given me better battery life than .75 ever did.

My battery life has decreased. Any suggestions besides downgrading back to .75?

I don't have that many problems with battery life and I'm running 103. I use my phone all day texting, web surfing (on multiple browsers), listening to music, etc. My battery life is actually pretty good considering...

Make sure you close u used apps after you're not using them. Also, delete apps you never use like "help" and that seems to help a little too.
