Default Issues with .607 (core apps and 3rd party apps)

Please Login to Remove!

Anyone else having the following issues with OS .607?
- keyboard. When clicking "sym" twice quickly in SureType it goes back to normal keyboard instead of showing "sym2".
- shazam not working at all
- opera 5. Keyboard not going away after inputting text
- slacker radio. Not showing album art
- app world. Not showing sorting icons when trying to sort (stars, price, developer, alphabetically)
- music player. The "show songs" list shows the now playing icon on the first song instead of being next to the one that is actually playing
- selecting text. If you try to select text or move the cursor up or down, the screen will scroll in the opposite direction after you release.

Maybe I am too picky with this minor bugs but I just want my phone to work the way it was intended

I like the improved screen lock, its very very fast to lock/unlock and I know that some people complained about not password locking the device with the lock button, but I actually prefer it this way... I dont like to type a password each time I grab the phone... (perhaps they should add the option to password lock it upong locking the screen, similar to "upon holstering")

I also like the new font for the keyboard and some other minor improvements but I feel there are more bugs than fixes...

what do you think?

I had some issues of my own and downgraded. See here:http://www.blackberryforums.com/gene...ml#post1591631

I just want my Storm to operate in... MINIMALLY... the same manner it was PRIOR to the so-called upgrade. (Ideally.. it should be BETTER!). Again.. your experience may be different than mine.. but for me, this .607 is a FAIL.

I agree I will downgrade to .517 when I get the time. Though I will miss the fast screen lock. Hehe that was about the only good thing on .607

Another major bug with .607:

If you are using "Today" screen layout, when you miss a call, you will no long be able to click anything above the "Phone" section of the screen for any other function until you view the call log.

Is any where on RIM or VZW site to report the bugs.....? With that many bugs being introduced with .607, they better come up with some quick fix and/or patches......

many of the "bugs" mentioned on this thread involve 3rd party apps. those will get resolved as new versions of each one is released. 607 has been official for a very short time. relax!

Yes and no....

I agree that it has something to do with the apps itself but I shouldnt have to download each app just because I upgrade the BB OS...

In fact I just downgrade to .517 and found out that everything is working like a charm, just as Kopter experienced...

.517 even has a fast screen lock that I liked of .607 so I see no reason to upgrade... yet...

All the problems I was experiencing are fixed with .517 except the Cursor/Selection bug... but thats a minor issue I can deal with...

Bottomline, .607 is not near ready to be an official OS release...

"Today" screen is Blackberry core components, not an "add-on" third party app.
