Yea I completely agree with you there. We could have a lot more options. Maybe in os6! :)

are you sure you dont mean predictive txt?
48+hrs on 607 and I have absolutely no issues with this OS. I don't get it, so many people with issues and I have none of them. Makes no sense at all. This is by far the best OS I have ran yet.

Congratulations.

The predictive text popup now looks like the autocorrect popup used to. Instead of a horizontal, screen-wide list of options, now it is a vertical list that looks similar to the autocorrect popup. It's really only an aesthetic change but it is different than it was in .451 and its predecessors.
I use predictive text, not the autocorrect, but I have alternated between them in trying to find a solution. No luck.
After another day I'll give some more thoughts. It finally hit me earlier today that my SimpleWeather icon on the home screen hadn't updated since isntalling .607. I spent about two hours today trying to get it work. About 6 hours after I gave up trying it just suddenly started working? WTF?
I still can't get Shazam to work, even after a battery pull. I will keep working on that, but it's really not important.
I haven't had any more complete freeze-ups since the first night.
My Bluetooth stereo problem seems to have fixed itself now too. Not sure if it was the OS change or not? Basically, sometime on .428 my Bluetooth stereo would stop working after making or receiving a phone call. I would have to reboot the phone. This started to be a problem about a week before upgrading to .517 and it carried over to .517. All is fine now though?
I'm not having the typing lag that I used to have. At least not yet! That's always a good thing because I type really slow, so the fact that it couldn't keep up before was pretty lame...lol!
Anyway, if it stays the way it is now then I'll keep it. If things stop and start working at random then I will consider going back to .517.
Oops! One more thing. I was having problems with Slacker earlier today with songs skipping and not getting album art (just blotched out pictures). Not sure if it is an OS incompatibility issue or if Slacker was just having a bad day? I will try it later to see what happens...
chuck did you try the suggestion in the first post about shazam?
No, I haven't tried that yet...haven't had a chance. Might do it in a little bit.
Will report back once I give it a try! Thanks!
OK, I tried the shazam fix and it still won't work for me.
Ok. I'm using .320, yes... .320 and the autocorrect and predictive text are BOTH vertical in mine. Also, the bold-ed words pop up in both predictive text and autocorrect. You guys have added so many leaks you forgot how .320 actually looked... LOL. OR... maybe they did something? I don't know
The only other thing I want to add is that logically speaking... the only way you could be getting so many different results from these OS with relatively the same hardware is your 3rd party apps; combination of certain ones affecting overall performance. If person x has no issues whatsoever but person y is getting nothing but bugs, that seems to be the culprit. Perhaps you should list what 3rd party apps you have and version #s like another poster suggested. It COULD help solve your questions and ultimately help in streamlining everything
I started reading through the posts, but haven't found what I was looking for yet. If it has already been discussed, forgive me...
I seem to be having a problem with AutoLock. My phone doesn't seem to want to use this app. I have tried uninstalling the app and re-installing it, but that didn't work either. The lockscreen is very different from any of the previous builds and I was wondering what exactly RIM changed in this area.
Every once in a while the screen will stay locked, but overall, it will stay unlocked. Is anyone else having this issue?
So idk if anyone has thrown this out there but I wanted to let you guys know a temporary fix for the group bbm keyboard issue (at least its worked every time thus far since I discovered it.). While in the group, hit the bb button, select new chat, the keyboard will pop up giving you the option to name the new chat. Don't name one, press the back button and the keyboard will stay! :). Note, the !?123 button doesn't show the alternate numbers and symbols in landscape but will still work if you remember where everything is. :). Hope I didn't repeat a previous post, just wanted to get it out there before I forgot. Enjoy ;)

I figured a much longer way of doing this. Thanks for this shorter method. Works like a charm.
So still scrolled through 35 pages and sadly still not sure if I should upgrade- Can someone please tell me the benefits/upgrades from .428 to either 517 or 607.
Is anyone NOT haveing the problem in which Meterberry asks you to choose to reset now or later, when set up for a timed auto reset?
thanks
(My wife is still using 428--The screen on 607 has more accurate clicking and typing and seems to work a bit better overall. But it's not a huge change. If you're happy with 428, just wait for the next miraculous leak or push! I think most of us who load the latest leak have a bit of extra time on our hands and are intrigued by the idea of the latest thing.)
I am intrigued too- that's why I am conflicted- it seems with the last few releases there were more bad things to say then good things. I have meterberry and other apps mentioned and like when they work the way they are supposed to.
The 607 has too too many problems. I upgraded to 517 right after I got my S2 two weeks ago and have had no problems. When I upgraded to 607 I had many probs with videos/music/apps/browser/wi-fi/phone.
Went back to 517 in less than 4 hours, now no probs at all again.
JMO
I think you seem to echo what many are saying- I am surprised verizon is releasing this- most seem happy with 517 and most seem unhappy with 607 hmmm
320 for the Storm2 had the autocorrection style prompts while in word completion mode. 320 for the Storm1 had the landscape word completion prompts with vertical autocorrect prompts.
607 has vertical autocorrection and word completion. No official Storm2 build has had the horizontal word completion prompts even though they are better lol.
hi,
i fixed the BBM group keyboard problem!
well 99% :D
here is what i did.
1. get 5.0.0.428 installed
2. get 5.0.0.604 installed
3. copy the net_rim_bb_virtual_keyboard.cod from 428 to 607's java folder
4. copy the net_rim_bbapi_blackberrymessenger.cod from 604 to 607's java folder
note: i also replaced all the BBM files (taken them from 604)
then re-install the os on your storm.
later, to show the keyboard in the group, press BB symboland tap on show keyboard (the keyboard button on the bottom does not work to show the keyboard somehow). voila... the keyboard is there landscape and portrait. i don't know which one is really the fix (virtual keyboard, bbapi for blackberrymessenger or the bbm itself, but it solves the problem for me and I cannot be bothered to check which one it is. I like the bigger letter in the keyboard).
:)
edit: if the keyboard doesn't show, tap the new chat and return
Meterberry is working as designed (as it installs and uninstalls a small module to make the os reboot), AFAIK all of them do it this way (quickpull, QL, etc).... Pretty sure the OS just changed the type of dialog it was so Meterberry doesn't know it's asking the question... :eek:
I already emailed GC and informed him of the change just in case no one else has... I also told him about the confirmation screen after the reboot... We'll have to wait and see what he says... ;)
I've only had 3 versions on my phone. The .320 that came with it, the .451 leak, and now .607. No hybrids and whatnot.
Unless we're talking about something else, when I typed an email/sms/etc. and it came upon a misspelled or it tried to autocomplete a word, the word list would be horizontal across the screen (I used layout with the full QWERTY keyboard) and you would scroll side-to-side through the choices. Now, it is a less attractive vertical list.
Again, it doesn't change functionality, it's mostly aesthetics, but I was more fond of the previous setup because I could see more words simultaneously whereas now you get a max of 3 before you have to scroll in the vertical list. Boo.
Also, in Language and Text options, the choice between autocorrect and word completion ("input options") randomly appears/disappears. It is there about half the time I open the language/text menu...making it hard to try and figure out what the problem is.
I must be whacked...I had official OS versions .320 and .451 and both had horizontal completion prompts in landscape mode...
for any hardcore music fans, streaming using Berrytunes doesnt work well on this build. It causes many audio artifacts and crashes
auto correct yes, not word completion/prediction
Is anyone having a problem with Bluetooth Pairing? I did a clean install and now can't pair my Jawbone.
