Upgrading My Javelin Again

After a success story with upgrading my Javelin at here, RIM has released another version of OS 5 for 8900. The latest version is 5.0.0.461. You can find it here. All are released for operator in Europe. I upgraded the Javelin to 5.0.0.411 with OS from Optus Mobile (Asia). Nevertheless I did the upgrade anyway. Afterward, I do not notice any differences in term of performance, memory, and stability. All software that I use on regular basis work just fine. I am still observing the battery, similar to 411 would be good enough for me. However, I notice that the keyboard/keypad lock icon is missing. The keyboard/keypad lock on top of the device also does not work.

Upgrading Javelin

The Javelin I am using have been running the original OS (4.6.1.250) for quite sometimes. Although I was quite satisfied, it has some problems. Memory leaks and battery life were the top two. Free memory after reboot usually around 116-120 megs and rapidly decreasing. I have had to reboot every three days or so. Battery was even worse, it would only last Continue reading Upgrading Javelin
