There should be an official release soon anyway. To me, the biggest issue is connectivity.

I installed 5.0.0.230 without any problems but now the app center does not work. When I try to update the list, I get "an error occured while updating the application list: Insufficient wireless coverage." Sometimes I will get an error 404.

I have full coverage and everything else works. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

You may have to seek alternative means to attain certain apps for now

Oh CRAP, I may be Jones'n. I'm checking here every day for an update to the new OS. I may have to try one of the hybrids this weekend. Not sure I can wait a month or two.

Can you just swap older apps with the new OS? Is that basically a hybrid?
I want the new radio software with the faster download speeds, but I don't want the new sms,mms messaging feature (bubbles) I combine all my messages and don't like the fact they look different and I cant delete them.

I had upgraded to the previous 5.0 beta leak, then reverted back due to random issues, and Facebook not working on it.

I've since installed this "release", and everything works great. Except for a couple little things.

When listening to music, after the first song or two, it appears to still be playing yet there's no audio. I have to pause, and then unpause it for the music to start back up. From that point on, it'll play just fine. (this is with music on the media card using the standard media player).

Every once in a while I'll look at my home screen, and it'll be flip flopped. The left half of the screen will be on the right, and vice versa. (not a mirror image, just cut down the middle, and swapped)

p.s. I love the new threaded SMS

Yeah I had that problem from time to time as well. I have been back on .53 for a week or so now and have been happy with the stable part but miss the speed of other OS.

I loaded .230 and have had little to no issues, am on BES too. The only issue I have noticed is that Facebook Calender is no longer showing up in the Cal App. The speed of this OS is great, everything loads faster and there is little to no lag for me.

csurfr · 10-18-2009, 11:07 AM

Bah! Today I went back to .230 and I can't get the email setup app to connect to the server, so I can't send my service books. . . no browser, etc. . . . Of course, I could log in to the sprint bb site if sprint could figure out why it says my account has been disabled on the site. . . such is life of beta users

Has anyone gotten BBM 5.0 working with .230?

yes, it was a pain in the ass though. It was archived after I updated so I had to delete and reinstall from the blackberry website.

Has anyone noticed the loss of the media home icon? I still have the icons for pictures, videos, ringtones, music, etc. but the media home icon is missing. Also when I go into any media folder and hit the menu button and select "media home" it doesn't do anything.

Joe1004 · 10-19-2009, 06:06 PM

I finally had time to give this another try... My previous issues were with bluetooth profiles that appeared to be corrupted (couldn't delete or edit) and with Enterprise Messenger.

RIM released a new EM client for everything up to 5.0.0. It works fine now. With bluetooth, I did not have issues if it was a new profile I made in 5.0, but old ones that included stereo functionality were messed up if they came over in a backup or from BES.

So I deleted all of those before I upgraded so they'd delete on BES. I actually decided to delete my BES profile and start new with selected items backed up.

Everything is working OK. My only real complaint with this version is that the radio is definitely in need of work. There are a couple of spots I know are shaky coverage when I drive (using BT of course!) and I did NOT drop calls in these places with 4.7.1.53. I do drop calls with this release.

Time will tell. I am pretty happy with it so far.

Does GPS work in .230? I can't seem to get mine working @ all under this build.

greeneink · 10-31-2009, 07:54 AM

Yes, my GPS works with all apps. BB Maps, Google Maps, Berryweather and Poynt. Actually, I think it picks up the signal quicker with this build.
Check your settings after install. Get outside and let it try to connect.

Interesting. Maybe it's just a problem with Sprint Navigation. . . I couldn't get Shazam to work either.

My Issues with 5.0.0.230

-Viigo Newsreader - can't scroll down
-Home screen "flipped" (1x so far)
-Music plays 1 song and the next song does not aplay with sound
-Pandora - first song ends with 20-26 seconds remaining and won't continue playing

Joe1004 · 11-06-2009, 08:15 PM

I found something new tonight.

I have a bluetooth stereo connection (Ford Sync). As soon as you connect the Stereo Bluetooth device, the media player begins playing all music in shuffle mode. If you stop the music player and subsequently take a phone call, the music starts over again when you hang up.

It also starts over again with every reconnect.

Did NOT do this on 4.7. Annoying, but I'll live.

Shishkabob87 · 11-07-2009, 12:46 PM

I have been looking all over for this beta...anyone at all willing to share? I can't find a single workable link

ps. haven't updated my stuff yet..just got a tour not too long ago

I have had this same issue on all the 5.0 builds I've tried. I am able to get around it by going into Bluetooth Options, and unchecking "A/V Remote Control Target". I agree, it's annoying as all get out, and no, I didn't have it with 4.7 either. Hopefully this will be working properly with the 'final' build. I haven't checked syncmyride.com; possibly there's an update available. While I love SYNC, much more than I anticipated, it is not without its quirks.

Ob Viigo choose page view. You wont be able to use bottom buttons but you will be able to scroll down

I just wanted to shoot a quick follow up post on my GPS issue. . . Blackberry Maps finds my location just fine, it's just and issue with Sprint's GPS (Telenav I believe). It keeps telling me to turn on location services, which are already on. . . Oh well, hopefully a new beta will leak and this will be resolved. . . either that, or Sprint GPS will have to be updated to work with OS 5. I must say, I LOVE being able to lower the font size down to 5.
