Leaked: OS 5.0.0.140 For BlackBerry Storm 9530

It looks like a Chinese site has posted OS 5.0.0.140 for the BlackBerry Storm 9530. This is a recent development so we don't have many details, but if you're willing to give it a shot, let us know the results. Keep in mind that because OS 5.0 is not official yet, a lot of your existing apps may not work on 5.0 even with a successful operating system upgrade. If you are asked for a password when extracting the file, use "raysource".

*OS Disclaimer - Please Read: Even though this is downloadable from BlackBerry.com, we'll put the same disclaimer up as for an unofficial release... If you choose to install, do so at your own risk and only if you're comfortable in the process of upgrading and downgrading your device software. It is quite normal during operating system development for certain features to be crippled or disabled while others are tested, and these beta builds often reflect that. They are not always better. Depending on your BlackBerry comfort level, it may be best for you to wait for community feedback on a build before deciding to download and install for yourself or simply wait for the next official release. If you require support, you will find it in our CrackBerry forums via our extremely knowledgeable community base - do not contact your carrier or RIM for Beta OS technical support (their first course of action will be to advise you to downgrade to a supported OS). Follow the links below for more information and instructions. *

More Blackberry Storm Tips & Tricks

Tip #1 - Sometimes an application may hang your phone and you need to bypass that particular app. To run your Blackberry Storm in safe mode you initiate a battery pull and when the led light stops shining red, hold down the escape key until your Blackberry Storm is completely done rebooting. A message will appear saying that you are in now in Safe Mode. Click “OK” and continue use with your Storm. To exit Safe Mode initiate another battery pull and this time do not hold onto the escape key.

Tip #2 - Clean your Blackberry Storm Memory. First clear your Browser Cache. Open the BB Browser, Press the BB button>Options>Cache Operations. Clear all four items. Enable and use Memory Cleaning (You only need to enable once, or after an update of the OS). Click Options>Security Options>Memory Cleaning, Set to “Enable”. Now just press the BB button and select Clean Now (After Clicking on Memory Cleanup). Now clear the Java log. From the homescreen, press the BB button, and select show keyboard (in landscape) hold the !?123 button to lock in then press “/”/ (or if in portrait ,5,5), then press the BB button and select clear log. After that is all complete do a battery pull or do a soft reset using one of the 3rd party applications like QuickPull or SoftReset.

Tip #3 - As you know the accelerometer changes the orientation of your Blackberry Storm when you hold it upright, or on it’s side. Now, when laying in bed, do you notice it does not change orientation when you hold it upside down. If you are laying down, and you wish to browse but you don’t want your Blackberry Storm to leave landscape mode, just start with your Storm in landscape, and then you can lean it upside down and it stays in landscape. The trick is to just make sure to lean it with the top
(where it says Blackberry) side down.

BlackBerry Messenger 5.0 - Quick List of New Features

I found this and knew you guys would love it. Lets take a quick look at some of the new features in BlackBerry Messenger 5.0 below.

Hit the Jump for more Details...

Over the weekend it seems like everyone dropped what they were doing and installed the leaked BlackBerry Messenger 5.0. There were some ups and downs over the last few days - some server issues or installation problems - but most seem to be resolved now.

New Layout

Obviously one of the biggest changes is the new layout/UI (image at top of post). The look has been totally overhauled. You now have the ability to add avatars to users as well.

Broadcast Message

With the new Broadcast Message feature, you can send the same message to multiple contacts all at once. You simply enter the message, select the contacts to receive it and send away.

 

Backup/Restore Contact List

In my opinion one of the best features is the ability to backup and restore your contact list. You can choose to backup the list to your device memory or media card, and restoring it is just a few clicks away.

 

User Options

The new user options screen allows you to edit your avatar, change your status, edit location options and more.

 

Add Contacts & Barcodes

Adding contacts is easier than before (way easier). You can still add a contact via PIN or email, but now you also have to option of scanning their barcode. Each user is assigned a unique barcode that allows others to easily add to BlackBerry Messenger.

Linking Contacts

You now have the option to link contacts to your address book. The allows you to sync up your contact information with the user in your BlackBerry Messenger contacts, syncing the PIN, avatar and other info.

Recent Updates

Clicking the Recent Updates bar on the top of the contact list shows your contacts recent activity, who was added, updated status etc.

 

There are other features as well like new emoticons, chat history and most likely some we missed. This is just a quick list of the biggest features of BlackBerry Messenger 5.0. Drop a note in the comments and let us know what we missed.

If you are having trouble with the new BlackBerry Messenger and need to uninstall, check out this forum thread: For those that want old BBM, here's how..
