OK I installed and had my data go back on. I have done selective restore each time so there's not much baggage to add back.
I chose NOT to add back all my apps EXCEPT BBMeter (to measure the leak
) and QL which I absolutely need to operate my phone and BerryBuzz cause I need the colored LEDs since my phone is on silent most of the time.
That's it.
Starting with 308 free after removing the opening videos.
Oh and you can remove VAD and STILL use the side keys! Yay!
My BB is bare but I am going to give it some time to see what leaks.
Still for me to do:
security wipe
bbsak wipe
install 415
selective restore
I will go that route if need be after Christmas. I have too much cooking and housework to do after this am that I can't take the time to sit down and do all that now. If my phone starts leaking, I will put back my apps via bbsak (all at once) and enjoy my phone through Christmas Day and then deal with it later.
Fingers crossed
12-23-10 08:10 AM - Some are reporting HUGE memory leaks in this version!
As for me, looking good so far.
A slight dip in memory...only lost 2MB after an hour.
Usually I'd be down 15 or so by now.
Got my fingers crossed.
Most of my apps are back on and I am going out so I will keep an eye and report back later to all my guardian angels here on Ramblings.
Love you guys!!!! Have a good day!
12-23-10 11:01 AM - Well, I'm very pleased with this upgrade. My RF is better and steady, no sig bar ramping around up/down anymore. The browser seems faster also and there is just an even smoother scrolling experience going thru the menus and around the ui in general. My memory is as steady as usual so far anyway. So it's thumbs up from me.
Thanks Santa for getting it here before Christmas
12-23-10 11:34 AM - RR and everyone, I am still getting a memory leak but all in all, it is much slower than what I have had in the past. After 8 hours I am at -17MB so that is about on pace with you, RR
I have read about people losing huge amounts so I think I am satisfied right now. Seems snappier and I never had the RF ramping so I can't comment on that. I played music with the media player for over two hours and dropped not a MB of memory. Somehow it drops immediately after a batt pull and then levels there.
I am going to put on the rest of my apps now that my cooking is done and my gin and tonic is standing ready.
How has everyone else fared? Oh and I would be surprised is VZW released the same version RR. I bet it will be something higher so....who took the OVER on JayDee's installs???????12-23-10 08:20 PM - Ran into some problems with my upgrade. After uninstalling the .407 hybrid that I had on my PC I installed .415. Then I backed up with DM and BBSAK, my normal procedure. When I then ran apploader it asked me what to install, I didn't change anything from what it showed that it was going to install so I clicked NEXT and apploader said that the update was complete. Tried it three times and it did the same thing.
I thought I saw something about having to have the latest OS5 on your device, being lazy I dicided that I didn't want to DL an OS5 to load on my BB so I did a wipe with BBSAK and tried apploader again. Still didn't load the OS so I then went to BBSAK and clicked the load OS button and Voila! it loaded it. Good thing I had the BBSAK backup, had to use it to reload my apps, then went ot DM to restore my data and found that the backup had not worked so I used a backup from last week and that got my data back and a sync took care of bringing me up to date.
I had to reorganize all of my icons of course because BBSAK doesn't restore them to the folders that they were originally in, not sure why that happens.
I did my last bat pull 42 min ago and have lost .6mb and have 259mb free plus 30mb of device so I think that is 289mb total if I understand how BB calculates its memory.
Device seems to be running well, browser still hangs at about 75%, can't figure out why that is. It has done that on every BB6 I have installed. At this point this is the only issue that I am aware of.12-23-10 10:58 PM - Keith, it seems you and I use the same installation method. I have never had an issue doing it this way either. Nothing fancy. Just works every time.
The text size issue was the first thing I noticed and disliked when I tried os-6 the very first time. There are certain tricks, but it can take some getting used to also. On forums like CB for instance text wrap works , but you have to enable"default" mode first at the bottom of the CB page.
On other forums I frequent text wrap is sometimes automatically done and not an issue. I don't think this browser is very browsing friendly for the most part. But then anybody who got a BB for the browsing experience is headed for disappointment right quick. Hang in there with it tho. It took me and most others awhile to get the hang of it. alt/trackpad = zoom btw
Wow, now I'm curious as to which version verizon will come out with. I don't see how it would be much different. A better browsing experience would most likely be appreciated by all, but I think the browser is just the way it's going to be. I will say that I found a little help re the browser. If I use Q/L to go to my favorite sites it loads alot faster. I have a bookmark in Q/L for our "essex" forum and I shave about 30 sec off the loading process by not going thru the usual path. I'm not terribly interested in alot of CB so a shortcut helps from having to load the rest of the adds.
Merry Christmas to all my "Rambler" friends. The forcast high for Christmas here is 72. Ahhhhh. A top down day again!
