9530 4.7.0.106 OS Findings Only
- The directions in the first post were spot on.
Upgrade went fine.
After it was done I did have to reset a few things:
- facebook logins lots
- Full keyboard setting in portrat mode lots but can be set still
- Navigator had to reload all it's data
- Googlemaps needed ACCEPT angain
- YouTube needed ACCEPT again
- Flycast worked without issue
- Slacker needed login a couple times and had to resave my cached channels
- Browser was fine and there and worked.
- Everything else seems to work
(Many of these are ture for any upgrade)
Observations:
- Does not seem any faster than .103, seems slower.
- Babylon AD video is much more laggy on .106 then it was on .103, all the way through the video it lagged, ICE AGE plays fine no lag
- Video Camera still works as does Camera.
- keying the alphabet into the keyboard in memopad was really slow.
I would get to abcdefg-it would halt here until I got to yz then display lmnopqrstuv and then display yz. Really slow. And I am not a very fast typer.
- Memory after 30 minutes use at 9.5 MB no apps up.
In general it seems slower than .103 but I need to try a reboot and also try using it for a while and let things cache. It may be faster the more you use it.
But at least it did the upgrade without a hitch.02-17-09 08:46 PMLike 0 - Finally found a decent place to download the dang thing so ill let you know how it works for me, i will be making my own build of the os because there are certain pieces i want from .90 for those who couldnt get those crappy sites to download here you go torrent mirror02-17-09 09:01 PMLike 0
- Thanks to BBCrackman for helping me through. Upgraded with no problems except all my settings didnt restore. Have to reset my pic folders, remove some apps I dont want, etc. So far it seems a bit faster than 103 so Im good. Thanks to all who do these builds!02-18-09 12:27 AMLike 0
- I did the install this morning with the 103/106/90 Hybrid, and up until tonight, it's been the best running OS i've had so far. The fastest, and most reliable in most aspects, works great.
However I do have one problem, I can't take any video. Every time I hit the record button on the video camera, it freezes up completely. Has anyone had this problem?02-18-09 12:28 AMLike 0 - I did the install this morning with the 103/106/90 Hybrid, and up until tonight, it's been the best running OS i've had so far.

Seems much more responsive than .103, battery has much better lifetime, no mem leak, video playback not choppy anymore, browser typing seems still laggy, but regular texting seems faster than .103. overall very stable!02-18-09 03:05 AMLike 0
- Anyone using this hybrid .106 with AT&T? I'm wondering how the EDGE vs edge is with the .103 radio file? I've replaced the newer versions with .90 radio as it gives me a constant EDGE signal where 99 was pretty poor.02-18-09 07:27 AMLike 0
- Noticed this morning after installing the Hybrid that I lost my contacts. I sync'd last night and noticed it flied through real fast but didnt check to see if my contacts were there. Any ideas? Thanks everyone!02-18-09 09:55 AMLike 0
- I really
Like this software version except for the keyboard lag in the browser, hasn't been this bad on any other OS's for me

My phone will record and play back video. I'm running .90 and the only issue I have is the Media Card Inserted prompt which is quickly remedied by holding the End Call button and then turning the device back on the same way. Camera works, video works, phone works, media plays, etc.
Unfortunately every phone is not the same and each will react differently. Everyone will have to just try and see which leak will work well with their phone until an official and stable OS is available, which may not happen before the 2nd gen device is available, unfortunately.02-18-09 10:15 AMLike 0 - Please qualify remarks with "...with my phone..."

Has been blamed on bad microphone, OS issue and some say its from the noise cancelling feature. I was just hoping they had a fix for this finally, its getting old trying to have a conversation and spending more time repeating yourself.02-18-09 10:39 AMLike 0

This one works awesome on my phone!! Ok, sorry to go off topic.02-18-09 03:38 PMLike 0 - I think I'm just partial to .90 because it runs SOOO much better than any OS I have tried, pre and post. In fact, .103 ran EXTREMELY slow for me when typing, to the point where I uninstalled it after about 2 hours. I just couldn't take it anymore. Went back to .90 and it has been lightening fast even with a theme.

- Upgraded last night and besides a few problems that BBcrackman was so gracious to help me with its been the best build yet. Im wondering how the leaked 106 is gonna perform. I downloaded the appleberry theme and it runs great on this 106 hybrid. Also DL'd the tweakberry which works great as well. In the past I was always hesitant to download 3rd party apps but with this build I am with confidence and am having no issues. Thanks To Bbcrackman, Sith and all the other Geeks (very affectionate term) that do this so well. Blackberry should be paying you guys well for your efforts!!!!02-18-09 08:10 PMLike 0

- I just used the .86 MMS.cod file with the 103/106 hybrid and it worked like a charm. No issues. If a wipe and reinstall doesn't work for you id try this.02-19-09 12:54 AMLike 0
- Two days and ALL IS WELL!
I used this process and it was as easy as can be! No worries!
