BlackBerry Cool

My sound is not working either since I installed the update. No alert sounds and also can not play media files… !!!

Love it. So much faster & smoother. Little if any freezing
Also had to delete some great apps. But well worth it.
No problems downloading it either. GREAT version

I am not pleased with my $500 beta version of Storm. I am unable to download the much awaited upgrade as it keeps asking me to free up 19MB of memory. I have deleted all my cool apps, all my mssgs, most of my photos, all my video, my call record, and it still asks for 19MB of memory. Yech. This is my third Storm. They keep replacing it with another loser version. They will not take it back. I wouldn’t want it either so I guess I understand. I do NOT understand charging a huge amount of cash for a cluster of bugs. I am way disappointed in Verizon.

Okay, how could I forget to pull the battery???? I do that like twice a week for the brain toots on this puppy. I think it has dementia and forgets how to work. It’ll just sit there with the clockette spinning until I pull the battery. At any rate, the update is loading.

Claire-
Pull the battery and put it back in to reboot the phone.

Seriously people. DO NOT TRY OTA UPGRADE!
Download the upgrade file, install it on your pc, and use Desktop Manager or loader.exe to install it.

^^ I ota’d … its working perfect.. O.o !?!

Download quickpull from the app store and stop this battery removal madness!

london-
The OTA worked well enough. Downloading to a Mac isn’t fun, as there are extra hoops through which one must jump.I still have to do a battery pull every other day. The message app is delusional and thinks there’s a mssg in there when there isn’t. This is my 3rd Storm and they all have that same glitch. It may be related to my email program. IDK

i just got the storm im only 17 n its my first blackberry i judt did the update n now i have no sound wat should i do

Just downloaded the new upgrade. Although it took awhile and I had to get rid on some games. It was well worth it! Runs faster and wakes up faster. We will see in the next couple of days how it goes.

just updated mine, before i did it i was ready to throw my storm onto the freeway, it frooze , took forever to go from lock to unlock, the new software has fixed all the bugs i had

After 2 weeks with the .148 upgrade the phone / device is actually worse than with .75… I give up

Upgrade installed by Verizon Tech rep on Saturday morning. The Storm will not last on the battery more than 4 hours. Tech reduced screen illumination, disabled navigator, etc. all had NO effect. Battery drains in 4 hours. I’m making my third trip back to Verizon store for assistance. FRUSTRATING. Don’t upgrade until they get this fixed.

Hey I’m having the same problem I have searched for two days to try and get the .75 back. My web browser is so slow I wont use it anymore. How do we get .75 BACK!

Okay, it’s been 10 days with the upgraded software. Storm still sucks. I hope they will realize their erroneous ways and allow us to return these sad instruments. Or, if they get the contract for the iPhone, letting us trade UP!!!!

i did the upgrade it was telling me to do. deleted 20MB of material and continued. i have sound for my alerts and absolutely nothing for youtube/browser. the only way i can get sound from playing music thats on my phone is to hit the BB button and select speakerphone. is there something im missing cuz i have been going through the tools option for the last hour and havent seen anything i can do to fix this. any ideas? and dont suggest battery pull. ive done 8 already.

hi

I hear talk of Storm II to be released. Storm I is less than acceptable. Verizon isn’t even plugging them on their ads. Walmart is selling them now. Why would anyone want to get another? I am really saddened by Verizon on the Storm venture, as well as the company’s lack of taking responsibility.

@Holly:
Saddened by Verizon? Listen, I know they are far from perfect, but if the hardware ain’t “right” and the software ain’t “right”, I fail to see how that is Verizon’s fault? RIM designs/builds the hardware and codes the OS. You can fault Verizon for being finnicky about what they would accept from RIM as a software build to release, and if its true Verizon nixxed the hardware including WiFi you can fault them on that, but truly if Storm is a failure the blame lies squarely on RIM.

David,
True that! RIM is the maker of the software and hardware. But I don’t deal with RIM. I deal with Verizon and it’s their integrity at stake. They need to back THEIR product for which I have paid. I don’t see that happening so far. Therein lies my issue.

k, the mighty Canadian Telus carrier together with RIM wont allow us to download and run skype, the cheapos want us to use there longdistance packages and pay through the nose for it. In order for me to run SKYPE on my BBstorm i need the verizone platform, anyone know how to get it….?

i updated my blackberry strom os from 4.7 to 5.0 now i am facing problem whenever i am turn on my camera a msg display could not start the camera. close other apps. and try opening the camera again i pulled out the battery but no changes occur pls tell me the solution pls pls
