BlackBerry Tour OS 4.7.1.42 Update

BlackBerry Tour OS 4.7.1.42 Update

By: Jamie Pert | August 19, 2009 | 6 Comments

According to a recent report on IntoMobile it seems that a few reliable sources are suggesting that OS 4.7.1.42 could soon be arriving for the BlackBerry Tour. The reliable sources reporting this are BoyGeniusReoport and CrackBerry.

There has been nothing confirmed by RIM yet but usually when BGR and CrackBerry report news it turns out to be legitimate, especially with the out of box problems people have had with their BlackBerry Tour’s OS. Details on the release are non existant however you would have thought that RIM’s main concentrations would have been related to the out of box issues previously mentioned.

Do you have OS problems with your BlackBerry Tour? If so list you problems in the comment section below.

    Battery Cover Door and Trackball keeps freezing up horizontally.. Hopefully RIM will take responsibility on this one

    My Tour 9630 takes an hour to reboot. Is this normal?

    There are several problems with my Tour. (And I have already swapped the unit with Verizon three times.) First problem is I am told by callers that my voice on phone sounds muffled, although clearer (but tinny) when using the wired headset. Second problem is horizontal trackball frustration, even when raising the sensitivity setting, as has been talked about on numerous forums. Third problem is the inability to see the text in the body of any email that has an attachment. I use a BES, and can only retrieve the text portion of these emails when i forward the email to a gmail account and have it sent back to my Tour. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN RIMM QUALITY CONTROL and would now seriously consider an alternative, such as iPhone if and when it comes to Verizon.

    I also have issues with the vertical track ball freezing up. I keep spinning, it goes nowhere, and then suddenly and without warning it will jump. This makes it really hard to quickly access programs. I also have experienced long reboot times, although not an hour as Canmore reports…usually about 10 minutes. I find the Tour works better when I reboot, so this is kind of a critical pain. Hopefully the new OS will help.

    I have had issues with the camera on my Tour. Sometimes when I turn the camera on there is a box that pops up and says “Could not start the camera. Close other applications and try opening the camera again.” Although I have no oher applications running! The only way my camera will work again is if I take my battery out and put it back in to reboot the phone. Hopefully this issue will be fixed sometime!
