Are you trying to load a page that have java scripts that may make your browser overload and time out. Other than that it may be your device. I've had .171 .175 and .180 and I'd say .180 is the most stable with wifi.

myFaves came back after I had gotten the device back to the way I wanted, themes, settings, etc.
So myFaves is working and so far the OS seems fine, I haven't left the house yet today so we'll see what happens long term.
If it acts up for me, instead of going back to .180, I'll most likely roll all the way back to .175.
Anyone notice any differences yet?

Yep - I've seen the same problem as you have Rivvie. This appears to be a bit more stable (and still not perfect) but I have to wait until Monday to see how it performs at work.

So far so good. Haven't done a ton of browsing or calling over the holiday, but from what I've done, I have no problems to report.

I have been using it all day yesterday and today and so far no problems yet. I'm on T-mobile in Newport Beach, CA. The hand off has been fast but have not been on a call yet during the hand off to see if it goes dead. Will keep you apprised.

Had one issue yesterday, but I'm not sure if it's related to the OS or the theme. I did a search on Google Maps and called the place from the map result. I got a "would you like to allow google maps to access the phone", said yes, but the box never went away and had to reboot. Also, I'm using Calix's Titanium Today theme and one text message will not go away. Again, this may be related to the theme though.

My initial impressions so far is that in this version of the OS, WIFI is more responsive. I connect to routers faster and get the UMA connection much quicker then in previous versions of the OS. Browsing via WIFI also sseems quicker.
My memory leak issues seem to be better (I have not used my BB like usual, so I cannot say that the memory leak issues have been solved in this OS.) While I have not taxed my BB like I usually do due to the holidays, my available memory has not diminished over the last few days of use - like it did in prior versions of the OS. (Since running into low memory warnings - in a few days, my BB went from 8M free to less then 1M free, I typically check available free memory once a day.)
On the downside, I have noticed one small potential glich. When scrolling through my messages and opening e-mails, the BB sometimes seems to be "sluggish" to "non-responsive" for a few seconds, kind of like the system is completely taxed. After a few seconds, the BB responds as usual. Anyone who spins the trackball and the cursor does not move knows how annoying this can be. This has happened a few times now, so, I do not consider it an isolated event.

Any chance you have something like Empower or BBSmart HTML mail viewers installed, or maybe even BeamBerry, which could be causing the death pauses? Can you create a test scenario for others who've upgraded to test as well, trying to mimic your behaviour?
This and JC's reboot crash don't sound good... |

Does anyone have a clue or approx date of 4.3 release? I just want to wipe my blackberry for a clean install to make it a bit faster, and I just don't want to waste my time with the same version if 4.3 could be released soon.
Thanks.

Beyond that I've had no issues with this OS. Working fine.

Any more reboot issues JC? I have it downloaded just waiting to install. |

Thanks. I think I will just wait, no need to fix what's not broken. My BB works, and that's good enough.

No, I do not have any HTML e-mail viewers installed. I do have BeamBerry installed, but I have had BeamBerry installed on my Curve since the day I got it. Unfortunately, I cannot devise a way to recreate the bug I experienced.
However, I will note one new issue that just happened - all my audible prompts and the phone ringers somehow became muted. For example, if someone called, the phone would not generate an audible ring. Since upgrading to this version of the OS, I have not made any changes to any of my audible prompts/ringers in any of my profiles. Switching profiles did not correct this problem. The only thing that worked was a battery pull.
