After a few days of testing im thingking of going back to .576 or .534 im having a serious Leak and i hate it although i really love this build because some apps like Scoremobile and CrunchSms is working perfectly which im having an error in other build,i never had this memory leak before..
Sadly yes..
I have heard from many that this OS has a very small memory leak. Perhaps a few battery pulls will help.
So this build has a smaller memory leak than .576? .534 had a massive leak for me..
Btw do you guys shrink your os? I find that if I don't I am left with 60mb app memory! And I only have 2bbm contacts, 400 address book entries, a handful of emails since I always delete off my device after replying/reading, around 10 additional apps and themes.. Definately less than tda who still gets 111mb after installing os6 :-(
Yes, most of us bb savvy users do the shrink. :)Quote:

Shrinking is vital and will make a huge difference.
MAke sure to shrink the videos in the shrink options.
USe the latest version of BB Boss 2.2.2 or BB Hybrid Tool 2.4.8 otherwise even if you select the videos in the options, nothing will happen. The latest versions fix this.
It seems Windows doesn't know which drivers to install for the bluetooth device.Quote:

Very good advice. Sometimes just unplugging the USB cable and plugging it in another port does the trick as Windows will redetect the device and install the drivers as neccessary, it is advisable to have the BlackBerry Desktop Manager running during this step, then close it when the drive is installed and try installing the OSQuote:

Wow 512mb! *jealous* first time I did a shrink using BBBoss I kept getting 2 errors everytime I reboot and eas told its ok if I can live with it since it doesn't hamper performance. Never did figure out what caused it. The last time I did a shrink I left the advanced options alone, left English language and a font and it seems to have fixed it? Dunno or maybe coz I also left the VVM. Oh well as long as I get no errors.Quote:

For some reason with this version, every time I pull my phone from the holster it opens up in the search screen....576 did the same thing. The only way I can stop that is to lock the phone before I put it in to the holster.
That's strange, know of any others who have the same issue?Quote:

Sorry Joe, I missed this one for some reason. I don't know of any others with this problem (but then again, I don't really know any people that are willing to try out leaked O/S's like I am)......not sure why I am so lucky to be blessed with this weird deal...lol. I even tried doing a fresh wipe and reload and it still does it. I have gotten in to the habit of hitting the lock button before I holster the phone so it's not bugging me as much as it was.Quote:

In that folder, you will find a file called vendor.xml, DELTE that file
While you are in that folder, after you have deleted the above mentioned file, you will find another file by the name of loader.exe
Run that file, you will now get the screen to initialize the upgrade of the OS on your BB, click next to continue, your device PIN will be listed on this next screen, click next again to continue.
Now you will be introducted with a list of options to select or deselect the components you want to install.
Carefully select only the items that you need, do not select all the chat messengers and components you know you will not use as this will eat up your precious application memory which is available on your 9700 (256 MB).
Please read the tips I will provide you at the end of these instructions to be fully aware of what I mean, this is critical.
After you have selected the components you want to install, click next, andthe upgrade process shall begin.
Your phone will automatically create a backup of your settings / apps first, then it will wipe the old OS then install the new one and restore the backup.
Should anything go wrong at this stage, you will have to wipe your device again and try again, but luckily, we have created a backup file at the beginning of these instructions, so you will still be able to restore all your contacts, emails, settings, etc.
thx dear ,
i really know the all steps that u wrote above (y)
my question is only about the version of OS 6 ..
> Downloading the 6.0.0.600 (49%) ..
thx AGAIN
welcome and good luck
Well I have to say this version is the worst I have ever used!
- Battery Drain out of this world
- Memory loss just the same
- After I have unplugged the headset, the next call I make it spends a second on handset mode then a second on headset mode. Either 3 battery pulls later, or plugging the headset back in fixes!
Not impressed :(
