nice!

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

JSanders, just added you on twitter and found the link to this gem :)

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

Installing now. Seems like the flood gates for 9700 OS 6 Beta releases has opened!

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

I think at this rate we're going to be upgrading every 1-2 days :)

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

upgraded with no issues.

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

Is it faster than 380?

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

It seems a bit faster, but it also gives me more memory.

Unfortunately, my SD card crashed!

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

Curser is back in the SMS department and the new RIM RSS feeder is working nice with this new leak. And it seems more sturdier, more together for me. I'm starting to like Mondays. :)

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

Is the feed reader part of this build or do you need to install it separately?

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

Need to delete TMobile files again?

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

I don't even see them in this version!

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

You'll need to download that separately, I am pretty sure, as the BlackBerry News Feed app was just released today, and this OS has been floating around a day or so before.

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

Didn't notice a vendor.xml file either. So very helpful! :)

Installed on top of 380 with no issues. BES activation doing it's thing after the final reboot. ~20 minutes from start to finish.

TMobile and UMA appears to be ok.

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

Installed and running so far the most solid leaked OS6 for the 9700 hands down. Highly recommend upgrading to this.

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

Does Pandora still not support OS6 on the 9700? That's a deal breaker for me.

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

The charging pod issue is also resolved in this release....this was the issue in OS6 where it would not charge the BB when docked in the pod.

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

hi guys, i have big problem, just tryed to put on my 9700 new os6 and during this operation, on phone screen shows meesage ERROR 507, BB shows only progress bar when turn in on and stops on 75% of prgress, then message about error, what know, please 4 some help !!

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

I never had that issue with any OS6 release on my 9700.

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

Your BB's done - 507 means basically NO OS to boot.
Now you need to Javawipe and reload OS6. There are other ways, but this is easy and will get you going fast.
Did you do this OTA or from the DM?

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

can I do this in my home without special tols, devices? end explain 4 me please what does mean OTA and DM?

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

Seems to run pretty well. I've got it on my old 9700, which is inactive. BUT overall navigation etc seems quicker. I'd like to see some speed improvements for the 9800 now.

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

Will I have to reinstall apps after this update?

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

V1.14 supports OS6

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

I'm using Pandora 1.1.5.1 on my Bold 9700 w/OS 6.0.0.358 without any problems.

Still haven't decided if upgrading to .418 --- I'll wait and see if the good news (no memory leaks, etc) continues over the next few days.

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

Great release...liked it a lot over the earlier version from speed and memory comparison. SMS cursor bug fixed also.

Just realized though, if I go to my Contacts and try to dial from there...nothing happens when I hit the green talk key. I have to press the trackpad and the options open up...even the Menu key does nothing.

Someone else have the same issue?

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

Works for me. I just tried it. Sorry.

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

Get a program called JL_Cmder and read instructions on that and how to use it, make sure that with that program you wipe the device and the reset it to factory with that program
then install the OS through the apploader program not desktop manager and you should be in the clear.

OTA = Over The Air ( installing wirelessly )
DM = Desktop Manager for the BlackBerry ( some also call it DTM )

Re: Leaked: 9700 / OS 6.0.0.418
 

correct with all this but might want to add that if it is a 64-bit processor computer you will have a different directory

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

thx mate`s for all answers, somehow i managed to do this ysterday, a 1 hour after i wrote my first post, thx again, problem solved :)

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

One annoying thing with this OS (or build) is it is difficult to select and click on web links in an email.

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

I will upgrade for sure
The older version, 4.380, eating battery so fast
Many thanks for the links

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

Still have cursor issues when editing contact information. Scrolling down seems to loose the cursor and you have to press the aA key to get it back.

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

Finally broke down and installed it. So far I'm loving it except I cant transfer all my downloads to the "downloads" tab on the home screen, and there was no pre installed "downloads" folder so I had to make one. Anyone know of a way to edit this?

Also, I'm sitting at only 60mb free now. A far cry from the 95mb I'm used to.

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

Sounds like an upgrade in my future.. I have a 9700. Nothing but positive remarks so far. Thanks everyone for testing!!

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

Is there a way to make my 9700 boot up faster? Its a LITTLE faster than OS5, but still slow. Thanks!

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

Downloading now. Will report soon!

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

I like this version. I haven't installed any of the other betas cause I was holding out for an official release, but it just took too long for my limited patience. It's a bit slower and laggy compared to 5.0 but not in a way that makes me hate it. And haven't found any glitches that make it unusable or anything. A couple questions though:
- Is it possible to change the All, Favourites, Downloads sections on the main screen? I have no use for Downloads or Frequent, and wouldn't mind having a Messages container instead.
- is it possible to make the Berry button Open Tray by default, instead of popping up the menu to select Open Tray from there?

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

i think for all your questions it is unfortunately a no.

I have another issue in the calendar: in day view i can scroll left or right for the next/previous day. in the month view it works fine.

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

about 3 hours into this and .418 is working fine --- so far. My biggest gripe about upgrading BB OS is that you have to manually reset your layout, new folders, etc. but working fine. No noticeable battery drain or memory leaks.

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

Would be nice to get my week number display back like OS5. Am I missing something?

Edited: Seems like this is an OS6 thing in general? Why would a company doing business geared to the Enterprise remove this feature? Anyone dealing with European companies for sure deals in 'week number'.

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

It seems that RIM has indeed fixed the TMobile theme so that it's not necessary to remove it anymore.

Does anyone have the calendar scrolling prob as well? I'm about to go back to OS5 as this is a show stopper for me.

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

cool

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

What calendar scrolling problem? I've heard of issues scrolling from day to day in the daily view but it hasn't been a show stopper for anyone.
Posted via BlackBerryForums.com Mobile

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

Other then having to 'go to a specific day' by using the menu (when in Daily view) I haven't noticed any other scrolling problems in the calendar.

My biggest complaint in the calendar is not having the week number as an option in the display anymore.

RIM... ARE YOU LISTENING?

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

RIM doesn't officially listen here. This is unreleased software too.
Posted via BlackBerryForums.com Mobile

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

Ah, yes...

Maybe they will 'unofficially' listen then...

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

the cursor is missing also in whatsapp

Very funny (to me) thing happened after installing 418 and then restoring using DM: my brower home page was Google News. Now it's Google News Canada. Hey?

Still having issues with the browser shut downs (page too large, etc) and some third party apps (particularly Quick Launch and Viigo) but digging OS6 a lot.

Best.

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

Delete Viigo and install the new Blackberry News Feeds app. Its in the test area of Appworld. RIM bought Viigo and their news feeds app is the reincarnated product.

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

I've having the same problem most of the time. The odd time it will work fine.
Imo the battery life seems worse in this release.

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

I'm sticking with .344 because "if it ain't broken, don't fix it." My battery life is superb, and I'm reading conflicting reports of how this new OS affects it. The only issue with .344 for me is that I only have about 60 MB of free space, and after a day it I have about 50 MB and I'll need to do a battery pull before charging.

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

Battery is way better. Last for up to 2 1/2 days
Memory improved since .380
Memory leaks seem more contained
Very stable over past few days
Scrolling across calendar days still a pain

Re: Leaked: 9700 / OS 6.0.0.418
 

Currently I have an OS 5.0.0.714 on my T-Mobile. Do I need to delete some kind of cod files? Can you write down a step by step instruction completely? Because the last time I attempted to upgrade it to OS 6 and it screwed (all theme icons came in black and white). Had to downgrade to OS 5.0.

To open the tray from the homescreen just scroll down on the trackpad I found this out by accident the other day.
Posted via BlackBerryForums.com Mobile

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

Just hit the escape key on the home screen to open the tray. I hate the tray...prefer OS5 in that regard.

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

Am starting to see odd behavior around SMS and UMA. Many times over the past 2 days I have had to "recycle" the connections to get an SMS message sent out.

A couple times it had "lost" any mobile network connection (I get 3G usually inside) and needed to refresh the connection.

Others it seemed to have lost my LAN (and ultimately, UMA) connection even though it showed as connected.

Anyone else having this?

Have done battery pull each day over past 3 days.

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

thanks!

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

Working great!

Just one thing: how can I decrease the size of the font within the box on top of the home screen? The one that's showing your carrier, Wifi etc. - I suppose it isn't possible at all?

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

Dropped back to: 9700.6.0.0.358

The UMA/LAN/Wireless issues were really becoming annoying. It got to the point I had to drop/reconnect connections anytime I sent an SMS.

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

Funny thing, when dialing from the home screen, the buttons for 1 and 7 are swapped around - yet, it's working fine if I hit the "Accept call" button first (and am in the call list). 8-)

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

escape key doesn't work for me.

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

I have also noticed this one... Strange!

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

Hello Guys!

Can't get it to run on my 9700!

at the end of the OS installation I get the following msg:

The following modules could not be loaded because their digital signatures were invalid. net_rim_bb_qm_peer_lib.cod

Then then when the device reboots the progress gets stuck at the very end for a long while and then I get a white screen with "App 200 error" msg!

any thoughts!?

Appreciate it and Merry Xmas everyone :)

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

theres still a memory leak but the best build though

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

This has been an issue since the first betas of OS6. However, it has happened to me even when never going on to UMA. The only solution was to turn off the antenna and turn it back on. As soon as I did they went right through.

However, on a similar note, I have noticed in the last few builds issues with Google Talk (gchat) just dropping its connection with no way of knowing it is really offline. I miss IMs, IMs I send that APPEAR to go through never did, and it can stay disconnected (but saying it is) for hours like this with no way of knowing. It's gotten to where I have to go in to Google Talk every hour or so and sign out and back in just to make sure I am still really connected. I use Google Talk in place of SMS with a LOT of people so it's extremely annoying to not be getting messages, or sending messages that I later find out never actually did.

Anyone else noticed this? I don't know if it's the latest build of Google Talk even though I never saw this prior to OS6, OS6 not playing well, or maybe even a dropout when I go from UMA to regular tower signal. I HAVE noticed it happen when I have been in and out of UMA coverage, but have actually had it happen even when I don't, stay inside in UMA for a while, and also when I may have just been in and out of spotty coverage areas. Basically it appears to happen anywhere, but is more pronounced after leaving UMA.

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

Yes, I saw similar glitches. Most times I noticed when in UMA only because I spent more time inside then out. However, many times I would be driving and noticed either a text sent (supposedly) earlier had not actually gone after 30 minutes. I would then reset connections (hey, at least it's easier to do in OS6...) and things would be back to normal for a while. For me, it seemed to happen way more often then previous OS6 betas.

I have since downgraded to 2 builds prior (.352 I think) and have had none of the connection issues for 3 days now. No reset, no battery pull...

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

Hm, I'm not receiving Facebook updates but mails from the same address - does anyone have the same issue? Oo

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

Just loaded this on my phone after a clean wipe with BBSAK.

This is the first version of v6.0 that plays the opening video, for me, without a glitch. All other versions seems to play very choppy.

I run flixster, facebook, google talk, google maps, google voice, citrix receiver, and scoremobile for blackberry and I have 53.2MB if free space.

BES Activation took about 15 minutes and this OS is flying compared to .380.

I have sent quite a few pictures via BBM and MMS and it doesn't seem to slow down like previous builds.

Overall this is a good step forward.

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

I'm not really impressed after using it for a while. It feels like it's not designed for the 9700. I went from 100mb free to 50 after a battery pull, and it drops quickly from there. Major memory leak issues here. It's also terrible at estimating my battery life. It's at it's worst while listening to Pandora. 50% to 8% is common within a time frame of a few minutes. The home screen is a whole other issue. The screen is just too small for the layout and there aren't enough custimization options :/

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

Sorry, I meant "close" the tray...that's what the escape key does at the home screen(s).

A quick "swipe" down the trackpad will open it, or the menu button has an "open tray" option that will do it as well. The Escape key will always close it.

Re: Leaked OS: Bold 9700 6.0.0.418
 

I don't have that problem.
