the input style goes back to word completion right after you press the call button (start the phone application). anyone notice this or everyone uses the word completion feature? anyone know to fix this?
also that bbmgroup problem is REALLY annoying. i don't use it a lot, but lately my business colleagues started to use it. so, a fix will be very appreciated.
thanks.04-02-10 09:29 AMLike 0 - That word completion bug has been bugging the crap out of me. Its annoying because it keeps changing all my words and what I type ends up making no sense.04-02-10 09:42 AMLike 0
- Just went back to 571, OOAK 604 hybrid...Since installing 607, Opera mini landscape use was off (1/2 screen until going to portrait), and occasionally would go to white screen (I'd have to reboot to get back to normal). BB browser is still as slow as ever. Meterberry, at each reset would reload (?) modules...tried rebooting, checked settings, etc, nothing changed. Battery life was really no better than 571. Since going with 607, during a phone call...it would go to speaker phone, with the screen unresponsive. I'd have to hang up and recall?
FYI - I read this forum all the time...it's a great help, thanks to all.
DOES THIS MEAN THE UPCOMING VZW RELEASE IS THE SAME RELEASE AS THE LEAKED VERSION?04-02-10 09:56 AMLike 0 -
I assume you guys mean over 3G?04-02-10 10:01 AMLike 0 - I can't believe they are going to release this with the BBM bug (among others) unless they have an update to BBM as well. There has to be more to the story than this.04-02-10 10:21 AMLike 0

My Shazam works fine with this build... If Shazam doesn't register properly during the setup after any OS upgrade, pull the battery (physical pull) and open it again. At that point it should setup and register.
I had the same problem with another OS upgrade and tech support suggested this... After this upgrade, Shazam would try to "Setup" and close... Pulled the battery, went straight into Shazam after the pull and it worked fine...
Hope this helps...04-02-10 11:11 AMLike 0 - downgraded to .517, battery life seems a good bit worse. also bbm messages opened from the message box would fail to let me open the keyboard to respond.04-02-10 11:22 AMLike 0

- I haven't read through everything yet so don't know if this has popped up. Are you the only one having this issue or were you able to resolve it? Also, do you man youtube videos or videos you took with your S2? Don't know that I want to risk losing those...

If I can't play the stored videos or use the video cam, deal breaker. I will never load this version again.04-02-10 11:30 AMLike 0 - I haven't read through everything yet so don't know if this has popped up.

Yeah. It was very annoying. The whole time I had the OS loaded it was bouncing.
Buggiest build we've seen in a while. Reminds me of some of the earlier S1 leaks.Last edited by 1magine; 04-05-10 at 10:28 AM.
04-02-10 12:04 PMLike 0 - In two days I've wiped and reloaded this three times. The most recent was about 3am this morning. The first time everything was PERFECT for a day. The screen fest amazing and battery life was incredible. I had zero complaints. But the next day the screen stiffened up and the battery started randomly losing 5% here and there with no use.
So I wiped and reinstalled yesterday morning. I immediately noticed the screen was still stiff and battery life was getting worse. Also noticed if I accessed a BBM convo while in my messages folder, the keyboard would not appear. Access the dame convo through the BBM app itself and I had no issues with it.
So last night I wiped and reinstalled. Didn't reload my backup, just resent service books and synched. Just invade I had a corrupted database. After getting everything set back up on my phone to my liking, I noticed battery life had improved and the screen felt good again. Charged it over night, started my day with a battery pull, and so far I've noticed the screen is very inconsistent in its feel. Right now its great, but earlier it was too stiff. And battery is dropping like a rock. If this doesn't improve in a coupoe days, I'm going back to .517 or a hybrid. Considering how happy I was with this OS the first day, I'm getting rather frustrated and disappointed with it now.
