Thread: 4.7.0.114 Hybrid Findings VERSION 1 Only

I installed the hybrid yesterday, and so far I'm a happy man! No lags, instant rotation from portrait to landscape, memory almost perfect, phone pad fixed. I couldn't be happier.
Next thing you know, RIM is taking your hybrid and releasing it as .125

LOL, thanks fiddler! Welcome to BlackBerryOS!

I have been running the hybrid since Friday--working great no problems. Today when I connected to DM it came up with a bunch of updates that were available. I just clicked cancel. I was curious as this is the first time this has happened and I have connected to DM previously since installing the hybrid.

Thanks again for a great hybrid.

Did u move the file to a different location on your hard drive post installation? The hybrid uses an older file so if u don't move them post install DM will try to upgrade to straight 114 when it connects. There is a writup in the forum somewhere. Do a search and you'll find it. Hope this helps.

Thanks, that is what I figured was happening, it just seemed curious that it had not happened previously.

I spent most of last night loading .114 and then the hybrid. It was well worth the effort! I was coming from .75, so I was expecting some benefits. After installing, I did a batt pull, and then let it sit all night charging. When I got up this morning, it is working great.

I do have an issue though. While the phone was synching all the contacts and applications data after the upgrade, I got a message on my PC from the DM stating that there was some sort of connection problem between my device and the DM. I was so tired last night that I decided to ignore it in favor of going to bed. (I was dozing off during the installation process) I didn't have time this morning to do a sync, so it will have to wait until I get home tonight to see if it does it again. Has anyone gotten any error messages from the DM regarding "connection device errors" since upgrading? I want to have as much information from this forum before I tackle it tonight.

I am liking this .114. I am coming from .75. Something that I have noticed is that I can't put the phone into vibrate by locking the screen and holding the mute button down. I was able to do this before. Not a big deal but it was nice to be able to do this. Is anyone else having this problem?

Thanks

I'm not able to do it either, and speaking of locking...I noticed today that when I lock the phone and then put it into the carrying case, when I pull it out the phone unlocks automatically. Not a big deal because it saves me the step of unlocking it after I pull it out anyway.

Another thing that I noticed a couple of hours ago is that I have some "flickering" going on while typing. There are intermittent and random flashes on the keyboard while I am typing in portrait or landscape mode. Of course, the responsiveness of the device combined with my speed on the keyboard could just be causing sparks inside the Storm! LOL!

O.K., so I mentioned earlier that I was receiving a "connection" error since uploading the hybrid. I finally made it home and had a chance to attempt a sync. The following is the error that I am receiving:

"Connector specific error" It is contained in a pop-up box labeled "Intellisync"

Is anyone experiencing this? The DM goes through the sync process and after it identifies several contact files that need to be resolved and transferred between my laptop and Storm, it comes up with the error. Since everytime I sync I get the error message, I am going to say that my device is not syncing and sharing information with my laptop.

thanks for a great forum, good advice and the upgrade to my already awesome BB.

I really like the portrait mode full keyboard. Very nice.

Have you check to see if you have wireless sync enabled on your device, this may prevent syncing through usb and could cause the error

Hey all. I'm new to the community. I'm diggin' the openness of everyone to give and receive advice here. Thank you especially to the more advanced users who are willing to take the time to spoon feed those of us who need some catching up.

I just upgraded to .114 hybrid from my stock OS and I'm honestly not noticing much difference from the OS that came installed on my device. I watched the video and followed each step verbatim, and have been showing successful update screens all the way, but the performance has not improved noticeably. Am I hoping for too much?

BBCrackman, (for your new hybrid) found out what has been making my Storm Crash. Google Talk, Theres something when i am using google talk to chat it will lock up and freeze on me and it requires a battery pull to fix..... It has happend 6 times today. But i still LOVE the HYBRID! Also has anyone else had thiss issue????

BTW GOOD EVENING BBOS MEMBERS AND GUESTS!

Hello all, I'm new to the community. 3 days a Storm owner. Anyway, I've got the hybrid .114 installed correctly to my knowledge. I'm showing v4.7.0.114 (Platform 4.0.0.136) on my options->about screen. If this is incorrect, please let me know. Since I've gotten going on this, I've seen my handset reboot itself while it was not even being used. Also, I'm having issues where there are times where I get an email and I don't get an alert, period. This is while I'm on either loud or medium profile. The only way I notice I missed an alert is I see the LED flashing. Is anyone else having these issues? Is there a fix at the moment? Thanks for listening to the newb.

Welcome to BBOS ggkid. Your version and platform are correct. As for the reboot issue, you will find a couple battery pull (battery out for atleast 30 sec.) should remedy this. There has been a few that have had alert issues. Maybe try to set a differant alert to see if it is just the one you currently have selected.

How important is it to remove the other themes? I have 3. If a backup was done, will it keep the other themes if i wanted to switch. I have been running .114H for about 4 days now and it seems to be running slower and the accelerometer seems to lag more. Any suggestions?

I have 5-6 themes loaded on the phone. Backup will keep them. When Mine gets sluggish, I just do a battery pull and its good to go.

The hybird has been awesome except for one small thing. I have had it running nwo for several days and the free memory has been trying to hang on at 30mb but its dropping very very slowly. Just an observation.

Yo, Is anyone else having problems with 114 locking up while using google talk or MSN? I use both clients and it usually happens when i take my storm in or out of the belt clip case.

Just an fyi (or maybe its me that needs the fyi)- and this probably happened with the other OSs out there, but I never noticed. when my memory gets low - I browse the Internet and after a minute or 2 my memory jumps up!!
