youtube works fine for me.
Try a battery pull.
Also confirm you don't have audio boost turned on (Options in Media).
Finally - you're going to m.youtube.com, right?

Could anyone clue me in on what deleting the vendor.xml file does? I've never deleted any files when updating from an older OS. What does this actually do?
One other question, is this the correct OS upgrade for Verizon too?

Deleting the vendor.xml file simply allows a different carrier's OS to be loaded on your device. Nothing is lost and it does nothing else.
Yes, this OS will work on Verizon 8130.

I wouldn't need to delete that if I download directly from Verizons website correct?

Correct. However, it doesn't hurt to delete it.

Tried the battery pull and nothing. Audio boost is off and yes I am going to the mobile site.
I even tried wiping the pearl and reinstalling it from scratch and still same results. 
Any other ideas what can it be? |

Sorry - no idea what the problem might be. If it worked on .81, and you don't see any strong benefits to .97, you could always go back...

ok, here is my review of the new .97
-when someone calls me and i hit the green send key to answer, it still has a long delay before it switches to the "in call" screen - very annoying
-the font on the "in call" status screen is very different
-the video camera frames per second has decreased! that's right, the quality of the videos i can now record are worse! this is the most annoying as i use the video camera often
can anyone else confirm these changes too on their device? any alltel version users out there that can test this?
maybe i should revert back the alltel version which i skipped over installing.
what is the procedure to install backwards by one version number? is it possible?
thank you!

Mine is almost immediate...like a second at most.

I've changed themes, so I can't say for sure...

Looks no different to me...I compared one I made at Christmas with one right now, and (on the Pearl) didn't see anything different between the two.

I was on Alltel before this, and don't see any difference in Video, do see a difference in getting to the in-call screen w/.97 - it is faster for me! |

If I remember correctly, uninstall .97 from you computer, then connect your Pearl to the computer and launch DM...it should prompt you to install .81 or whatever is the most recent release you have on your device.
This is likely in the FAQ (link at the top of this page).

Yeah...here it is.
How do I downgrade the OS on my BlackBerry? - BlackBerryFAQ.com
Just what I said...as long as you still have .81 installed (and you should, unless you removed it) you should be able to do as I said. |

the FPS (frames per second) have decreased by half. this is the only big negative i have found with .97
i use the video camera often so it is a real issue for me. anyone else notice this yet or have a comment about .81 version?

What did you use to confirm the actual frame rates of a clip w/the previous OS and one w/the new OS?
When I view two different videos, Sprint or Alltel OS vs. US Cellular, they look the same...

To downgrade, just uninstall .91, then install the version you want to downgrade to, and the rest is the same.
If you already installed the Verizon version, and remove .91, you'll go back to verizon version.
If you want to go back to the verizon release, you can get it from the verizon web site....
