Maybe the OS5 cods for the browser won't work...are their some system cods that HAVE to be the same as the radio file? or whatever?
I dunno now. I'm drinking sangria for the game! LOL01-23-11 12:11 PMLike 0 - 01-23-11 12:16 PMLike 0

I didn't get a chance to read over the functions of QL overall because there are so many, it does seem overwhelming to me. So I'll read it as many times as I need to till I understand it

- Friendly suggestion here -- go back and review this thread from early December. You don't want to open that can of worms.01-23-11 12:33 PMLike 0

And yes, it could be an app, but I have tried eliminating most of them and I don't know which it is. So...I just use them all and let it leak.
Tired of running my phone without apps. And if I listed all my apps and you compared that list, we would have many the same. So obviously, the apps act differently with my phone as opposed to someone else's01-23-11 12:35 PMLike 0 -
Oh waite, I just remembered, you are on OS5 with the 5 to 15 minutes reboots...01-23-11 12:40 PMLike 0 -
Doing multiple bat pulls following the install of an OS is right next to a requirement. You have to recognize that when an OS is installed one of the first things that loader does is to wipe the device, it then begins the load process by copying files to the device. At some point in the process, there are temporary files that are created to hold stuff as the install progresses and once the install is complete these temporary files are deleted.
Now, here is the important part, when the wipe occurs and the temporary files are deleted part of what happens is the the devices memory is left kind of messy and in need of a little cleanup and re-organization. A bat pull does that and in the process re-initiallizes stuff so that you end up with fresh device. By doing multiple bat pulls it seems that everything gets settled down and ready to perform their assigned tasks much more quickly, not sure exactly why this happens but it does.
I believe the 3 finger salute does essentially the same thing as a bat pull and serves the same purpose. I like to do bat pulls because then the device is fully off and everything starts anew. Just me, but that's how I like to do it.01-23-11 12:57 PMLike 0 - QL will prob be my next app to load up & I did know about the reset function it has avail within it

I had the same feeling about QL when I first was reading about it.....overwhelming. But I took the plunge and purchased it and had not regretted doing so. All I did was "play around" with it and then QL started to make sense to me. Love it!! Now....I would be lost without it!!01-23-11 12:59 PMLike 0 - ok I believe I understand this. IF at any point I finally decide to go with 431 leak, I will most likely be checking in with you guys here before I do something to be sure I know what I'm doing. I've got a pretty good idea, but having an idea & actually doing it can be very different sometimes.
- Be sure to backup your settings in any apps that you have like BerryWeather, QuickLaunch, MetterBerry, etc. These will be backed up to your SD card and you can retore them following the OS install and have those apps back to exactly like they were pre OS install.
- Backup your data with DM, this way you will be sure that you can restore the data following the OS install.
- Backup your 3rd party apps with something like BBSAK or similar tool. You never know when an install with go arye and you will need that backup. I have been very grateful on occasion that I had it!
- Make a list of all of the app keys for your apps so that you can re-enter them quickly and easily. I have the file on both my PC and my device.

Not always a necessity, just a "Best Practice" type of thing.

You can equate the three-finger reset to the CTRL-ALT-DEL or a warm start on your PC, and the battery pull to a power-on reset (hitting the PWR button on your PC) or a cold start.Last edited by Underway99; 01-23-11 at 01:40 PM. Reason: spelling (again)

Wait for an official release, install with just native apps and keep track of the memory? Then call if it is still leaking? Of course, you can tell me what I should do at that time, cause I know I'll be posting!!!!!01-23-11 01:48 PMLike 0 - Ok since we are getting close (?) to a VZW release...what do you guys think I should do about my "problem"?

It's not necessary to do bat pulls after installing most apps; however, there are a few that want you to do it. Thus, it is a good idea to go ahead and do one just for good measure. Bat pulls don't take but 2 or 3 minutes so why not just do it.
Oh waite, I just remembered, you are on OS5 with the 5 to 15 minutes reboots...
Yes I'm on OS5 but my Bold boots up in about 3-4mins tops so it won't bother me........now my kids S2 on the other hand takes her 10 min+ glad its not mine anymore! The touch screen on that buster just drove me to drink!!! The kids loves it though-to each his own!

- Be sure to backup your settings in any apps that you have like BerryWeather, QuickLaunch, MetterBerry, etc. These will be backed up to your SD card and you can retore them following the OS install and have those apps back to exactly like they were pre OS install.
- Backup your data with DM, this way you will be sure that you can restore the data following the OS install.
- Backup your 3rd party apps with something like BBSAK or similar tool. You never know when an install with go arye and you will need that backup. I have been very grateful on occasion that I had it!
- Make a list of all of the app keys for your apps so that you can re-enter them quickly and easily. I have the file on both my PC and my device.
1) I usually do a dm backup every 2wks.
2) Every since I started loading apps up, I usually do a Bbsak back up that day or the day after, basically w/in 2days of getting a new app I'm backing up.
3) Now,the back up settings to the SdCardoption - this I've never done I didn't know you could do this or how to.
4) As for my app keys, I've saved the emails that confirmed my Mobi purchases, but BB App World does not give confirmation, so I will work on getting this done for all of them.
.
These are my apps as of today:
AutoResize 1.0
BeWeather 2.2.1
BerryBuzz 3.2.18
Blackberry App World 1.1.0.35
Bolt 2.31
CaptureIt 1.4
Fancy Characters 4.1.5
FontCollection 2.0
HandyLogs Sugar/Glucose/Insulin/A1C App 2.1
MobiHand Superstore 2.02.355
Mobile Recovery 1.1.0
My Verizon 6.0.0
Poynt 1.6.0.71
SmileyFaces Pack 4.47.72
ZonaSnap 1.1.0.8
I think in BeWeather I saw something in the menu key when I brought it up to edit my options about backing up the settings. I'll check now
.

Damn, I've had a berry for 2+yrs prior to getting my Bold & I honestly didn't have much time to do as much as I'm doing now, but wow, I'm learning so much more to boot! I can't thank you guys enough

Also, berryweather berrybuzz and quicklaunch all have options to backup the settings within the app.Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com01-23-11 03:40 PMLike 0
