BT is BlueTooth, some people experienced issues with listening to BT in stereo.

Camera had lag between taking the photo and when it actually took it. Also it had issues saving the photos.

hey guys, this may have been covered, but I have loaded the new V2 hybrid. Loaded this morning. But today my memory leakage has been horrible. No changes from yesterday (running apps) and today There were times I was at 0.0Meg.

Got to the point I had to take out the battery, restart. after about an hour or so I was down to 22Meg. a few hours later I am down to 6.9Meg.

Any ideas what could be causing this?

I have a question After a battery Pull I have a maximum of 26 memory which will dwindle down to 9 or 10 by late afternoon. i shut off the few apps I am running when I close them. It seems some people have 40 -50 MB What is the difference.
I have Google maps, Poynt, Viigo, Epocrates, running. Any ideas?

Couple things
1. make sure you close out of Google maps, and if you are using it with the gps, make sure you change those setting
2. Viigo, in viigo if you go to options/ application/ and change "Move to background on close" to NO, it will terminate the program. If not it will continue to run,
I dont use Poynt or Epocrates, if they have similar settings and make tho9se changes.

Sounds like something is running in the background. Press and hold the bb button until the quick launch comes up and see whats in there. There should only be 5 dedicated apps that you cant shut down.

BBC you are great...lol

Answered my question even though you were talking to someone else...lol

Forgot, I had MySpace and Twitterberry running in the back. forgot to close them. Duh...lol

ok thanx for the info. i have noticed my internet moving faster have yall noticed this

I have Messages, Talklock, Home Screen, Blackberry messenger (I never use it, would like ot be able to turn it off), Phone, and browser.

I have tried to shut down browser with no luck and BlackBerry Messenger.

Day 2 ... battery level is SOOO MUCH better, my mem is ok... starts at 42 after BP, and after full day drops to 34. Everything else is running great... excellent signal, no lag(even with my newest theme)... couldnt ask for anything better.... Thanx alot Crackman!

Those are the base apps that cannot be shutdown. BB messenger can be removed (if you dont use it) I have one friend with a BB and i txt him so i removed mine as i have no real use for it.

One thing to ensure though is that inside each of those apps your are at its homescreen! If your browser is still on a web page, or your Msgs have the last msg still open, you phone is on the last call u made... etc... it will use mem and deplete your batt. make sure to BACK competely out to the individual "homescreen" of each.

ok i have a issue it takes my phone almost 2 mins to clear after hang up. i did a battery pull already

Ah, cool. Thanks for the info Drukan. I will make sure of that and make sure I teach all the other guys in my office about that as well.

i noticed mine does this aswell... to help it along though after i hit END, to end the call i mash the BACK button til i get back to the homescreen.
I dont know if there is a fix for this or if its an actual problem, but my method seems to work fine for me. try it out...

ok cool thanks drunkAN. ILL TRY IT ON NEXT CALL.

Im having the problem of when I lock my phone by pushing the button on the upper left it locks, then when any message, phone call, sms comes thru it unlocks my device. Now if I used a holster it might not be a problem but I dont, I just stick it in my pocket. So if I dont do something with the message, my phone ends up dialing numbers. It never did this before. Anybody else having this annoyance? Is there a fix or am I missing something in options?

Thanks

Otherwise day two. Its great!!!

Thanks for the upgrade! Battery level is great. Only lost one bat after a while days use. Signal is strong and memory deems to holding up well. Thanks for all the support at BlackberryOS!

Although my typing use an upgrade..

Little late chiming in here, but I just got back from the gym and need to report that the BT stereo has never sounded better - alot clearer and way louder than before. Also - the camera works great, barely any lag and the picture quality is much better. I took a few side by side with my wife's storm before I updated hers and the image quality is noticeably improved.

well, i followed everything step by step, repeatedly, and as soon as i click on loader, it starts but then tells me that loader has stopped responding... any ideas?
