Thanks for the congrats JayDee. 407 seems to be running fine as any other incarnation of 6 imo anyway. I like 6 alot, but the browser may drive me to some G+T'sJim,
Congrats on the Master status!!!
I am going to move to 407 as well tonight. I have more time as soon as I get home from work and my meetings today.
I have replaced the sfi radio file with the 280 file to see if that helps my leak. Let's hope I can make calls after all that!
Let me know how it's running for you!!!
It may need to settle down some more(hopin like heck)then perhaps it will load a little quicker. As you mentioned the CB site is really awful for webkit. It loads faster if you don't switch it to default view(forum setting), but then the endless, hair pulling, scrolling/zooming is neccessary. By switching to "default" view the magnifying glass magically appears, giving you one shot at a text wrap. If it fails to wrap you have to go back to the previous screen to get the mag glass again for another shot at it. Gee, why no column view option?? In 5 as we all know you can be done browsing by the time you've read a couple posts with 6. Unbelievable, but it may drive me back to 5. I'm active on several forums and it's the same for all.
So, basically what it boils down to is one's own individual usage. If the webkit was fast as we all thought it was supposed to be then it'd be way less of an issue for sure. If this doesn't stabilize and get quicker in a day or two, I'll likely revert back.
Side note: funny how I had to become a BB "master" before I figured what I was doing wrong in my hybrid installs.
Thanks Bob, It's a good day to be a rambler.Jim,
Congratulations on reaching "Master" status. I for one have appreciated your thoughtful posts here in the rambler haven.
I think I'm going to patch my .407 tonight to overlay the .380 or whatever it is that SCrid dopped last week.
As I posted above 6 being what it is I may not be able to stick with it due to the sluggish browser. Gonna give this hybrid time to settle then decide.
Thanks for the congrats Keith. You still hangin' with 5?
Side note: You in that cold blizzard weather area? Be careful driving,and stay warm. I got to put up with 80 degrees again today. Shorts weather.
12-13-10 10:37 AM - Jim, Am I ever in it. I didn't leave the house at all yesterday. I wish I could have, instead I watched the Bears get pummeled by the Patriots. Our high today is 9 degrees!! We won't see shorts around here for quite awhile.Thanks for the congrats JayDee. 407 seems to be running fine as any other incarnation of 6 imo anyway. I like 6 alot, but the browser may drive me to some G+T's

I have 407 running very well on both Bolds. Webkit browser is still so-so, but I can live with that. Having said that, I'm finding that the browser seems to be getting better with each hybrid for loading mobile sites. It still is not very good at regular desktop sites ("Best viewed with [insert browser here]"), but the mobile sites seem to be faster than ever. It is certainly faster than with the Tour browser. I'm not sure why -- I wouldn't expect that there has been any change in how the Webkit handles mobile sites without a change in the regular sites as well. I just compared http://www.crackberry.com and http://m.crackberry.com, and the difference is night and day. The same goes for CNN, MSNBC, Facebook, Twitter, etc. Isn't Webkit supposed to blur the line between regular and mobile sites?
Bottom line here is that while I do not much like the Webkit browser, I can use the mobile sites and still have access to all the good things about OS6. I have found that Bolt does not seem to render pages much differently than the Webkit browser, so I'm resigned to using the Webkit for now. I sure would like to see OS6 release with the browser fixed. We'll see.Last edited by Underway99; 12-13-10 at 12:04 PM.
12-13-10 11:45 AM - +1 where the he|| is 398???????? Oh and clicking the trackpad on accident, I see I still have Device & Status Info open....Free File 270,908,341! Seems to be pretty stable.Jaydee, I'm with Paul on this one, no serious leak for me on 333. I see there's a new leak for the 9700. C'mon our 9650's some BB6 leak love too! Or better yet an "official".
I often think some of these hybrids are created just for the sake of having something to do.Last edited by pcgizmo; 12-13-10 at 12:32 PM.
12-13-10 12:23 PM - Underway yes I will have 280/380-407. That's a nice round number!If you copy SCrid's 380 update to that, won't the 357/359 go away? And wouldn't you then have Spaghetti-Os with numbers?

Oh and the webkit browser...how do I get mobile sites on it? I think they would render better. I have to choose the mobile version or does it just go to the full site anyway?12-13-10 12:49 PM - So what if they are? Installing something other than straight 333 which craps on my phone makes me feel like I am doing something to solve a problem.
8 hours uptime on my phone...down 18MB
The speed at which it drops MB depends on the quality of my wireless connection I have found. At home it doesn't seem to drop as fast. And when I was out with no wireless connection and forgot to turn it off, it dropped even faster. Make sense? At work it drops moderately because we have wireless but sometimes I vacillate between two different networks.
Am I crazy? No, don't answer that!12-13-10 12:56 PM - Loading mobile sites seems to be kind of hit and miss with this browser. I am not sure how the browser refers to itself as a desktop or mobile browser. In OS5, you could force the browser to load pages as IE, Firefox, etc, if you found a particularly troublesome page. For OS6, sometimes the site will detect the mobile browser and load the mobile page, and sometimes it doesn't. When the browser loads the regular page, I look for a mobile link. When I get to the mobile page, I add a link to my home screen. If I'm feeling really Bold ("Bold", get it?) I make it a favorite.12-13-10 01:02 PM

Your phone WORKS!
Mine doesn't!!!! hahahahahahaha
280/380-407 goes on tonight!!
PS Even if we DO get an official, there's probably no way I run it straight, anyway. I will; with this leaky phone; more than likely need a hybrid so I am scoping them out now!!!!Last edited by jaydee5799; 12-13-10 at 01:47 PM.

Whoa! Little sarcasm there, that's all. All in fun and such.
I'm would hope that nobody is givng you any real grief here. I'd be looking for a solution too if I had the same issues that you've had with the phone. It wouldn't matter that some folks thought it wouldn't work. We all know that every one of these handsets are different in some manner. You may yet find a solution that works for you.12-13-10 02:06 PM - Here's something I've noticed lately. I'm getting an error screen(not numbered) box that pops up when I'm using the browser that says." insufficient data service signal. contact your service provider if this problem persists". I started getting these pop ups a couple weeks ago and now they are way more frequent. Don't know if this 407 hybrid has anything to do with the frequency. So far I can close the box and move on to what I'm doing, but lately it's getting worse and taking up to 3 trys sometimes to get rid of it. My signal is fine and I'm generally on wifi, but not always when it happens. It's happened on 333 then 5/983 and now 407. Color me clueless.
