Thread: Bold 5.0 Beta discussion thread II

make sure is named correctly to start with, the if that doesnt work, try uninstalling and then reinstalling

One fix that's worked for me is setting the phone to '3G Only' in the Mobile Network Options. I get WAY LESS hourglasses and not a reboot since I've done it. Read about the fix over on CB. A few people over there have a hunch that one of the problems causing reboots lies in the 3G/EDGE handover, etc.

yes, if you go to your options in sms and go to General Options.... Hide Sent Messages. Just set that to Yes and you will be good to go!

For those who are using a 9000 Bold, it really isn't that much dif. I agree that ATT most likely NOT be releasing an official OS 5.0 for the 9000 anytime soon....

I did the browser fix on .238 using BBSAK and did a straight upgrade so the browser continues to work. Looks like I will need to install the VVM files. It is definitely snappier, especially when viewing files on the media card and just moving around from app to app or in menu screens, and I like the aesthetic tweaks as well. I agree, CrunchDude, this seems like the final beta before the 9700 with a final 5.0 release comes out in a few weeks....

5.0.0.314 is out folks. Grab the download quickly before the link is lost.

Look where you download it into. It should be there. Doubleclick it to begin install. Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU iPhone OS 3_0 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/528.18 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile/7A341 Safari/528.16
