Thread: Continue Running Tour OS 5.0.0.191 ?

I'm haven't gone back to 191 but am itching too. LOL...turns out I don't use FB as often as I thought I did. BUT VZ Nav not working is an issue. I also had issues with VVM. It worked, then it didn't. Battery pull! It worked! Oh, then it didn't.

I'm just trying to convince my wife I don't love my Tour more than I love her!!! LOL :laugh2:

is GPS working for anybody with 191?

i think we all do that

This .191 seems to be working just fine for me. Visual Voice Mail has been fine. I can use Facebook through Opera Mini & GPS has been ok. I don't use VZ Navigator any longer so, I can't say if that works. Mt other GPS related apps work just fine (Where, Poynt, etc.). A hybrid would be cool, but thats all in good time I'm sure.

Any guesses on an official release date? I read on Crackberry that BIS 2.8 launches on Sep 10 and requires 5.0 OS. Once FB 1.7 launches I'll be a happy camper with .191 (unless of course .192, etc. is out as an official release)

I have been running it for awhile now and I love it. I will admit I don't use facebook or app world so that really wasn't a big deal for me. I did enjoy 5.0 but really didn't use it enough to drop back down. i'm going to keep using it.mfg:

It really comes down to what apps work and which don't. I can handle waiting for a bit more until apps are supported in OS 5.x.

I'm in the process of putting 4.7.140 back on. Had some weird home screen re-draw issues which sorta give me the willies, and VVM has been spotty and I need this big time.

As I noted in a different thread, 4.7.140 runs very well on my Tour. I'd no reason to go to 5.0.0.191 aside from curiosity. That, and since I put my Storm in a drawer in mid-July, I'd not wiped / installed for almost six weeks--needed a fix.

I'm having no issues with the current OS either, but I just had to see!!! I am looking forward to threaded messaging (coming from the Pre this is WAYYY different). BUT I downloaded BBM 5.0 and love it. I hope it is fixed for the 5.0 OS.

Curiosity is always what brings the BB fan out in all of us. I just got all of my apps sorted out for the tour now that I sold my Storm, sad to see it go but I know the new owner is very happy (what can I say when I sell my outgoing it looks like new).

LOL OK I broke down and reinstalled 5.0.0.191. To he** with Facebook. LOL. I will miss BBM 5.0 but I figure it will be updated eventually.

? for the BB masters in here. When the official release drops will we have to downgrade to 4.7 and reinstall the official release? Or will we simply be able to install over .191?

Probably be best to wipe and install.

Thanks sunkast. Will a device wipe on the phone accomplish that? Or should I do this through DM?

It won't let me click your reputation sunkast until I "spread it around a bit" LOL. BUT, I blame you guys for my addiction.
