No one else is having the call answer lag problem? Also the media player is slow as hell.

I saw other people report it in this thread.... Just role back to .206 until a more stable release comes out.

Has anyone gotten youtube to work on an unlocked 8900 using Fido as service provider?

No update yet has youtube working. WHY?!?! GRR

[slmoney]

ok...I'm at my wits end on this. I have upgraded countless BB's before and NEVER had this issue. I tried to upgrade my 8900 (curently on .199) to the latest and greatest. I've installed it, deleted the vendor.xml file, rane apploader, and it will not recognize that an upgrade is available. I did a battery pull...restarted it...still nothing.

What am I missing????

Anyone have a clue?

You say you ran apploader. So was that just in DM? Have you tried bypassing DM and running loader.exe? It's in Program Files\Common Files\Research in Motion\AppLoader. Make sure DM is off when you run it. That is the only way I upgrade OS now. I have had problems upgrading with DM.

[slmoney]

I have tried both methods. Using Apploader and DM (not at the same time). I actually wiped the BB and reverted back to the native .114 OS that it came with...and STILL wont update. I'm going to try a different PC this evening to see something went crazy with my computer. ugh...thanks for the input.

Maybe you want to try removing the OS completely from your computer and downloading a new copy before funning it again. I believe another troubleshooting step is to completely uninstall DM as well as the OS and reboot the computer before reloading everything. (I can't remember the exact circumstances but I had to do that once when I was having problems with an upgrade.)

I'm guessing it's not really a problem with your computer or you wouldn't have been able to install 114.

Thats just it, I did not install .144, the DM did a complete wipe and wiped my previous os .199 and put it back to factory defaults. even wiped my contacts and everything...

I did remove the OS and all the DM software from the pc as well....

[TXLady]

I don't think resetting to factory defaults installs the previous OS, just resets all settings. And DM cannot install an OS to the phone if you don't have it on the computer.

Downloaded in minutes, installed on a new 8900 very quickly.
Been running it for a couple of days no problems.

One more vote for increased battery life.

Based on my usage, my battery would be almost drained by the end of 2 days with 206. Now its still at 50%. I have to spend more time to collect additional sample points, but initial indications are positive.

[dynamic121588]

im thinking about getting this OS but i really want to know out of all of you guys that have it how many are having a problem with the lag to answer calls and with the media lag and do you really think its worth it???

[hjacker]

I'm all upgrade guy, and I updated my former 8820 as soon as new FW was on the horizon and didn't fear the forthcoming shit in the fan(anyway, it fell into the toilet and died at last). But yesterday I got my new 8900 with .94, and now I'm so "caring" about this new piece of beauty(usually this lasts for about a week) and I'm not sure whether I should update or not.

Blackberry is now officially in Ukraine, and could anybody tell me if there is Ukrainian language at last?

[duane534]

I upgraded from the "stock" 4.6.1 from T-Mobile. Battery life is dramatically improved. As is general performance. BUT, I can no longer "resend" messages. :(( There are some UI tweaks that I don't love, too, but I can deal with it for the battery life.
