I like the portrait keyboard and all the numbers and symbols on one page when in num lock. What a Happy Happy Day!!! As you said this will delete your contacts and addresses and stuff. The update took 4 hours to load from start to finish. I too had to delete the almost all the photos, videos and messages to get it to start loading…. I was so-so at best about my storm going into the update it was slow to respond, froze for no reason, and was fincky with changing views — oh and weak battery!
This update is a MUST! First of all, be smart and use the desktop manager to backup your phone before you install the update. It will delete all of your contacts, etc. However, I like the other John encountered a problem where my contacts would not reinstall. So, once again, back up your phone first. But, all that aside, the update is wonderful. There are only three noteworthy cons I have found. One, the battery still leaks pretty quick. This was a problem RIM was very aware of in the old update a lot of builders complained.
And Three, the lock screen still takes too long to load and unload. Still, this firmware is worth it. This update did not delete any of my contacts, address, music or anything else previously loaded on the Storm.
The update went quite smooth really. You will however need to re-register certain applications, so hopefully you kept the necessary info.
The phone definitely seems to be operating quicker. Just finished the update and it did NOT delete my contacts. Less lag is the most noticeable feature. I had no problem with the update it took about 10 min using Desktop manager. The phone responds much better and I enjoy the improvementns in the keyboard. I wish they would have added on more features or I can find a list of the improvments.
I like many of you had to delete or unistall many applications prior to beginning the over-the-air installation. This was frustrating to say the least. The installation of the new OS took way to long and did drain the battery rapidly was at work and forgot my charger.
So far the new OS seems to have cured most of the issues that I was having such as lag time, freezing, dropped call, and screen views. There still seems to be a slight lag time between certain applications but no where near as long as with the previous OS.
I can say that I am much happier now with my storm than I have been in previous weeks. I was this close to running out an buying the Iphone! PS — I did not loose any contacts, email accounts, photos, or music must have caught a break there however I am frustrated because I did not keep a few of the codes needed for programs I have purchased and will need to repurchase in order to get them to work in full access mode.
I hope everyone has good luck with the new OS and only time will tell if it was worth the long wait! On the crackberry website it says the old OS needs to be deleted after the new one is installed. Does anybody know how to do this? The build is an official build that was released by a carrier south of the border.
I had been running with little to no issues for quite a while now. I was very satisfied with it, and would have been content running until the 5. You will definitely notice an improvement over your current OS. Upon upgrading, your memory leak issues should no longer be a problem. I still use QuickPull with the automatic daily schedule as an added measure to ensure my device is running in great shape.
I have not experienced any crashes so far with , but only time will tell. I am also not hearing of any issues among my colleagues. I think you would be very happy with upgrading to from where you are right now. The improvements you are looking for should be found in both the and builds, but I would personally recommend the build.
I can definitely tell the difference with this new build. I had many problems getting it rebuilt after the upgrade. Had some flaky null pointer exceptions so I wanted to wipe and restart. Deleting multiple messages at one time hangs, sometimes deleting goes through, but the message is still there.
I feel like I need to wipe and start over to see if it fixes the problem. I guess it could be the theme being used, but errors with messaging are enough to try a downgrade, and upgrade again. Other htan that, the system is awesome for memory, speed and everything else you can wish for. I have just upgraded the OS on my Storm to 4.
