First installed the Official wan..tried copying East Asian Language Pack into it..couldnt work! Missing a file...then wipe & reinstalled Leaked Version! Its been 20hours since flashing .545..battery looks promising, but gotta tried a full drain battery then recharge to test how long it'll last me...Imma extremely heavy user! Previous OS lasted me 24hours max due to heavy usage.

But this .545 feels really snappy compare to .423 & .442 (Crap)


Added on March 20, 2010, 11:55 amAnyone using .545? Any feedbacks...

For me, battery life for .586 is not as good as the official .545. I just rolled back to the later smile.gif

My experience is more snappy, faster browsing on BB Browser, no more black screen "hang", faster reboot time, battery so far seems like a little better then .545, radio seems better but had yet to tested wifi (read on crackberry: some dude experienced issues with Wifi) hmm.gif

So far so good..plus its all Language, no worries about East Asian Pack. smile.gif

ok i think i get what u're saying liao

eg:
Software For BlackBerry® Bold ™ 9700 smartphone

BlackBerry Handheld Software v5.0.0.994 (Multilanguage)

Package Version: 5.0.0.994
Consisting of:

* Applications: 5.0.0.586
* Software Platform: 5.1.0.146
* File name: 9700M_PBr5.0.0_rel994_PL5.1.0.146_A5.0.0.586_COSMO TE.exe
* File size: 131.94MB



i think i'm referring to the package version while u're referring to the applications
sorry for the confusion


so how is the above os???
any major issues/bugs???

the one i have preinstalled is .442 which is giving me some battery drain issues now
at first everything worked well and i was able to get 2 full days of surfing and stuff with 3g all the time
but now the battery drain is REALLY fast and the battery is at 60% now after i have fully charged it at 8pm last night....

Try this instead..the latest, but its a Leaked Version

5.0.0.593

.586 has got bad reviews...also when you wanna upgrade your OS, google for BBSAK (Blackberry Swiss Army Knife)..use this to upload your OS, everything will be restored the your current configurations, apps, themes & etc. thumbup.gif

p/s: Btw, I am super heavy user..max I could churned out is 1.5 days! With more then 100mails per day, bbm, googling, msn, calls & etc.

bro what's your personal reviews on .593???
is it much more better than .442 if battery life is compared in particular

i don't send out too many emails perhaps around 20-30 per day only but i do use viigo and fb app but not so frequent
previously the drain is not so bad and i can always manage 2 full days but nowadays it's starting to be like 1.25-1.5 days
>.<"
or is it something wrong with expired trial?? Becuz i have swosh alarm pro expired but i haven't uninstall it

.442 sux, .593 feels much snappier, browsing seems much better, faster rebooting time, media seems to be faster..battery life seems better but its very subjective..try doin proper closing of apps + use EDGE at all time (2G only) it helps alot, no point using 3G when u do not need them unless ur downloading "mb" files, backlight brigthness set to min,..o well u can always give the .593 a shot, if ya dun like just downgrade. If ur using BBSAK..do uninstall the current OS before flashing new version OS.

U can go thru the reviews 1st @ Crackberry forume before flashing new OS, I normally read them for few days before flashing them.

Do use BBSAK, really hassle-free. Do a battery pull 2-3 times..let it settle down for a day..then u'll prolly notice the enhancement then.

p/s: Do follow Crackberry.com for the latest OS & etc..it has enlighten me tremendously! laugh.gif

Cheers!

bro another question.
if i don't use BBSAK, then after the install everything should be brand new like it came straight out from the box right?
in terms of memory free space, would this way be better??
cuz i don't have much to backup actually the most crucial being the phonebook only

Yeap..back to original settings. Its your call, if you've got nothing installed into your BB like Facebook, MSN, Twitter & other 3rd Party Apps. Thought u've got alot of stuffs installed into your BB, thats why I suggested you should use BBSAK..if thats the case just use Blackberry Desktop Manager!

Dude, trust me...everyone uses BBSAK, its the best with hassle-free + its got much faster process time comparing to BDM. Ive done it many times on 2 of my BB device. It wont screw up your phone. No worries. As long as your upgrading from OS 5 to OS 5, its ok..if your on OS 4 to OS 5, u gotta wipe your device clean before uploading OS 5. U can review from Crackberry.com or Blackberry OS.com, majority of them uses BBSAK. Just my 2 cents.
