I have done this as well.

I have also done several wipes, password failure resets, factory reset options on various programs and tried reloading the 5.0 OS.... just doesnt seem to want to let the browser work.

Is there a possibility I have to contact RIM regarding this?

You're not going to have much luck contacting RIM about an OS that isn't released yet.

I haven't had a lick of trouble with my browser on .314. I performed a BBSAK low-level wipe prior to the install, and the browser worked straight away. In all fairness, I don't have the Internet Browser appearing either ... but I'm on BES, so the BB Browser works just fine for me.

What the heck is this "browser fix" everyone keeps talking about anyway? The few quick searches I ran just came back with people saying "i tried the browser fix", but I gave up dumpster diving for the original defintion.

Its with the onboard device memory....the code in this release to interface the OS and its installed applications with the onboard device memory is complete crap. If you take a look when your phone reboots at the Options>Memory your device memory will probably say its unreadable. I've repaired and repaired again, done a full format and still have the onboard device memory file system become unreadable and force random sporadic reboots for no reason just from normal usage.

Well....


After much trial and error, it seems Shrink-a-OS was removing something from the 5.0 OS that was causing the browser problem. Now as to what module I was removing that was needed for the functionality under 5.0 I am not sure, as I use the same set of removal options for 4.6 OS's as I did for the 5.0 and doing so caused the browser not to work properly.

Time to find out what caused it, thanks to those that tried to troubleshoot it!

Well more so was aimed at questioning what could be causing the behavior of the browser I was using... not that I was going to inquire why a beta OS was not working.

Switched over to the 5.0.314 OS a couple days ago and it ran fine - looks beautiful. However, since last night it has been restarting itself and just taking forever. Argh how can something so pretty be such a nuisance. What do I do?
