Storm 9500 4.7.0.141 findings
- Its been 4 hours since .141 install and i have been playing with it for a while, one thing i noticed is that sometimes the screen messes up and goes off center and the only fix is a battery pull, has anyone else noticed this? on the good side though the camera is faster, youtube finally works again and the browser is alot quicker. When you lock the phone, yeah any of the bottom buttons will unlock it but since I keep my phone in the holster this dosn't bother me.
.76>.109>.113>.122>.132>.14104-29-09 12:48 PMLike 0 - I've had that a handfull of times in the past months in differen OS versions, so it looks like this just is a thing coming back occasionally04-29-09 12:53 PMLike 0

The Storm is a mediocre device in comparison to other phones. Even with the 5.0 builds, it'll still be decent.
And for those saying they dont notice color banding, thats because you havent seen the beauty of .75 in a while. You are used to it already, but if you were to downgrade you would see it off the bat.04-29-09 02:44 PMLike 0 - I'm with the better functionality / performance argument. Sorting color banding would be a "desirable" not a "must have". Don't know that I'd agree with you either about the Storm in relation to other comparable phones either: they all have their issues. Iphone has it's s**t together�
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com04-29-09 02:53 PMLike 0 - Yeah... I think that color banding is not the most important thing to solve here.. probably they decrease color palette to reduce memory and cpu usage. But It's good because we are talking about an handheld with a small screen that can only take advantage of this "problem". It was difficult to see 32bit differences on 15" pc monitors when video cards upgrade their functionalities with this feature...
The real problem with the Storm is the fact that RIM don't seems to be interested in a real heavy multimedia usage. They could implement so many things to make things better compared to the Iphone. The hardware has got so many possibilities.... the problem here is the software... the main os first and the 3rd party software for second.04-29-09 03:09 PMLike 0 - Yeah...

- I'm trying to resolve the Quick Launch issue. But I need someone help.
anyone put the 5.0 files into the mix? if so did it fix the problem with QL?
thanks!04-29-09 04:26 PMLike 0 - Which is a shame considering they advertise it as a multimedia blackberry...yet the volume drops out on music, videos give errors, and audio overall sounds like crap. I doubt they will ever get their act together. Im convinced that those "in the know" are just hyping it up.

Totally derailed now, but hey!

- Can someone post a picture of what exactly this 'colour branding' is?
Maybe that way we could avoid shouting at 9530 owners and reduce the need to cry
Oh an while you are at it, this is about the 9500... and start a separate thread of your own!04-29-09 05:23 PMLike 0 -
- Are you lot serious about the 4 hard buttons unlocking the phone? I was downloading this until I read these posts! my .131 works just fine, with no issues. I've forgotten to lock my phone a few times and I've called people by mistake as it is! I don't want the phone unlocking by mistake now! Screw that!04-29-09 06:11 PMLike 0
- Just downloaded and installing now, hoping the memory is better than on .131, the version before that (was it .121??) had much less memory leakage.04-29-09 11:57 PMLike 0
- went from .131./.132/5.0 hybrid to .141 and within 10 min went back, right off the bat went from 52mb (vs 53.5mb) down to 42mb within 20 seconds...accelerometer sucks, lagged bad, took like 2-3 seconds vs almost instantly..alittle bit of typing lag...just wasnt for me...04-29-09 11:58 PMLike 0

I'm still not seeing a huge difference from .131 BUT memory is holding up much better: only lost 4MB after about 18 hours
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com04-30-09 01:13 AMLike 0 - I just upgrade to .131 two days ago. wondering if there are improvement on .141 ? I am not happy with .131, seems mem leak is worse than .122
any information sharing is highly appreciated.
thanks.....04-30-09 01:45 AMLike 0 -
Mine doesnt lol.
Hows that. By using the .exe i thought it would brick your phone.
APologies if im incorrect.04-30-09 03:22 AMLike 0 - Been running since last night
Complete wipe of .131 and rebuild with .141...
Screen rotating is slow
OS feels "heavy"
YouTube app now working again..
May go back to .13104-30-09 09:48 AMLike 0
