Thread: OS 5.0.0.607 for the 9550 Findings and Fixes

I didn't see anyone mention this one. I did see people mention the issue with locking when holstered, but when i used to hit the "Lock" button on the top of the S2, it would not only lock the screen but also engage my password lock, the default password lock on all blackberrys, and now when i hit the button it only screen locks the S2, i have to manually hit the "password lock" icon in order to have the password lock engaged. I have looked through all the settings seeing if there was a new option to combine the two, but with no luck. Looks like they separated them out and there is no way to make the password lock active by hitting the lock button

Appears to be. I deleted Google Maps 4.01 and reinstalled 3.2. Sure like .607 all-in-all, tho.

anyone else finding that this thing starts to lag and stick on a screen until you turn it to the opposite orientation (landscape or portrait) from ehat you have it on? I know I've had this happen on several occasions after about 24-48 hours of uptime...

My keyboard does not come up in BBM conversations. Am I the only one? It works for a bit but after a few messages the keyboard will not come up. It only works if I access my BBM convo through messages. Total fail! Going back to my 9700....Storm 1 and 2 are just headaches.

Good news on this front! Early Sunday morning, Phil Darringer, the RSA/EMC Product Manager for the SecurID on the Blackberry, reported on the EMC Community Forums that the RSA Labs had found a workaround for the SecurID app's keyboard problem on 5.0.0.607.

To address this issue, said Mr. D, RSA is now in the process of qualifying a new version (3.0.4) of the SecurID app for the Blackberry across the different RIM OS and device versions. "Assuming all goes well with our regression testing," he added, "we plan to make this make this new version available through RSA.com shortly."

The new 3.0.4 version of the SecurID code for the Blackberry will, as usual, be available from RSA as a free download

RSA customers who wish to track the resolution this issue through RSA's SecurCare, or in direct contact with the company, might find it helpful to use RSA's internal tracking number: TOK-2794.

Suerte!

I uninstalled and re-installed version 3.0.1 and 3.0.2...
This is a deal breaker for anyone who needs VPN...
Anyone have any ideas?

A SecurID hotifx for Storm2 users who encountered the frozen keyboard problem with the SecurID app on the .607 OS is now available.

Storm2 users who ran into this problem when they upgraded to 5.0.0.607 can now download the hotfix SecurID code (v3.0.4) directly to your Blackberry from: http://www.rsa.com/storm2hotfix

The RSA/EMC product manager, Phil Darringer, earlier today asked me to emphasize two important messages about this release to the BB/SecurID user community.

1) RSA is only supporting this version of the SecurID One-Time Password app for the Blackberry (v.3.0.4) for Storm2 users who have encountered a problem.

(RSA, said Darringer, has (quote) not tested this fix across all the RIM OS versions we support with 3.0.2 and unless we hear tremendous pushback from customers, we will not do this work. If customers need a single version that includes this fix that they can push out to all their users, we would recommend they wait for 3.5, scheduled for availability in June.(end quote)

2) The download link (above) for the actual app. If a RSA SecurID site need the rest of the BB hotfix kit (doc, release notes or .alx/.cod files to deploy the app through the BES server), this material will be only available through RSA Customer Support.

I've been a consultant to RSA for many years.

PS. If you apply the SecurID hotfix, make sure that "compatibilty mode" is still disabled for the SecurID app after the installation or upgrade. This was mentioned in RSA's v3.0.2 release notes as a known problem, and your action may still be required when you install the 3.0.4 hotfix.

Is this all conversation or groups only? I have heard of this issue but only in group conversations.

In reference to the lock, I have used "Free StormSlider" for a year now. Its still my favorite. With the last update for 5.0 it now has a cool battery look to it while charging. I set it to my left convenience key and use it many times a day. This is probably the wrong place to put the OTA link but here it is. http://stormgrounds.com/bb/StormSlider/StormSlider.jad. Hope this helps.

Shazam has been updated to work with .607 now.

I thought for a while this might be a quirk, but I have seen this too many times now. I'm not sure, but this may be a .607 issue. Please forgive me if my search missed a previous post.

When someone sends me an SMS text and that person is also a BBM contact, I get the message in both places and a little phone symbol next to the name in both places. So far...so good.

The odd thing I have noticed is that when I bring up the SMS list in the today area of the home screen I get a blank space where the double message should be. Only the time of the message shows.

Anyone else see this happen ?
