Ok.... I don't get it. I just went to T-Mobile's web site to the bbupgrade page and clicked on the 8100 and when I look at the pop up windows it gives me the options to download Handheld Software (v 4.2.0.64). This sounds a lot older than what yall are talking about. What gives? Where would I get the latest software from T-Mobile?

Anyone else experience this after updating: The icon to turn on/off bluetooth has totally disappeared. It maybe a coincidence, but I no longer have a device paired with my Pearl. Any suggestions or thoughts??

For whatever reason, that setting didn't backup or didn't restore. Simply re-pair your device(s) and you will get the icon back.

Tmobile must have removed it for a reason...Says to me there is a problem with it. I'm waiting.

That did not resolve the issue. And i did lose all my up to date emails and sms messages (not a big deal though)

Doesn't work. Trust me, this is the first fix i look forward to in any new OS released.

Let me explain,

Lets say the 5 key contains letters GH, the multitap bug repeats the G twice while im trying to get to H. Hope you understand the bug.

Try using SureType, at first it's a pain in the azzzz but once you get the hang of it, it's a breeze..

103 is working beautifully for me. It's the first update I've done since 64. I'm just glad they fixed the goddamn calculator!

Hello,

I just purchase the 4 gig mirco sd card and based on posts on another forum I will need to upgrade the OS. Yet it seems that there are problems with this upgrade. Any new info? Thanks for the help.

Trust me, that's what i had to do and im already pretty used to it, i love it but it's always good to have multitap around " WORKING MULTITAP " atleast.

I have not had or noticed any problems since I upgraded. I guess I'm one of the few lucky ones....

Do you by chance also have a 4 gig card installed? Thanks

No, I only have a 2gb installed, however, the 4gb does work with the new OS according to others on this form.

Hi. I followed all directions, and upgraded my BB OS successfully. Everything seemed fine, including not having experienced any of the other problems <knock wood> that others have outlined here.

I do have a small pain though, though it's intermittent; and that's when turning-on my phone from any type of power-down, my BB will sometimes not reconnect to the network properly; basically, the "EDGE" under my signal strength indicator will stay at "edge" in all lower case.

To fix it, I must do a hard reboot when this happens; then all seems fine.

Any thoughts? Ideas on fixing this? Or is this not even related to the upgrade?

Thanks!

Now I'm getting random dropped calls. Annoying. The device is slower accessing photos too (at times). I see the hourglass now and I never saw it before this update. Clearly this OS is a bug magnet, at least for me, and I had no problems before. I don't need a 4gb card. So the one and only advantage of .103 over .64 is the backlight display option. And that was a feature on version .42, so they just undid something. That's it. The different calculator theme is nothing. Media player is the same look. I cannot delete email from my server/handheld, only from the handheld, a huge minus. Really I think this OS is worse than .64. Bad job RIM,Tmob. As soon as I get home I'll go back to .64 it and not upgrade until there's a new feature that I want.

There is supposed to be a 4.2.1.107 upgrade coming out in a few days.
