Anyone else having this problem??

Take the battery out, leave it off fro abt 30 seconds and tehn put it back in. this might help.

Just curious if y'all have found that each time you upgrade the OS that you have to re-activate the BES account?

Thanks for the help.

BTW, the instructions on how to upgrade here are phenomenal. Just walked through the steps and I am no IT manager.

For background, I am on Cingular and was upgrading the Cingular software. I did delete the vendor.xml file and am wondering if I shouldn't have since I was upgrading a cingular pearl with new cingular software.

I dont thing thier is a way.

Question to you: Do you see your email profile but just can send from it? My problem is when I do what yo udid and then go to the suitecase I get 2 emails 2 contacts 2 of everything its very frustrating.

I can "compose" an email to anyone in my address book but because I don't have any mail profile set up it says that it will just store it in "drafts".

Thanks for the response though. Kind of annoying to have to have them re-activate but perhaps that is so guys like me don't just start upgrading their devices on their own! ha.

Which one do I select? I downloaded the OS for the 8707c last night from cingular. When I select for the 8100 it doesn't give me the link to download. Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

HUH? Yes it does. Click on BlackBerry Pearl (8100c) on the dropdown box, then click NEXT, then it will show you two options:

Pick the first download link, which will go to package 4.2.0.88 (.71 OS)

Did you make sure to add wap.voicestream.com (that's if you're on TMO, I dunno the one for Cingy) to your TCP setting?

[jonlevine]

I installed this last night and have to say, I'm not very pleased with it. I find my device to be slower and less responsive. I've find that the hourglass is cropping up more and more, especially in places where I haven't seen it before.

It seems that this release also increases the sensitivity of the trackball. Now, setting at 100 makes it downright unusable and setting it at 90 makes it "sticky".

Also, for the first time since I've had the device (purchased 12/1/06), two different callers have complained about the audio quality of the speaker phone. For six weeks, I've been using the speaker phone in the car, at the house, in the office, and not one person has said anything. Today, the first call I used it on, the person immediately said, "what are you, in a tunnel? I can barely hear you." I then called someone else to confirm and, without telling them that I was using the speaker, they also complained about the quality.

I think I'm going to downgrade to the earlier version that came with the phone. I'm just concerned that any further updates will include the, in my opinion, poison code that is in this one.

I've been running the .69 OS but looks like I'll have to download the .71 OS now. Gonna download the OS update now... I'll chime in later on if I notice any differences in performance.

Ok I have upgrade the OS before (the last upgraded OS for Cingular). I was also able to edit the alx file and install it without any problems (I was so happy I did not screw anything up lol), but now I cannot see my alx file anywhere. Getting frustrated here. Am I doing something wrong. Major brain oozes here I guess. Thanks.

[hf1khal]

One thing this OS has not fixed is the issue of the Ring Tone assignment to a contact. I still have to reboot (remove the battery) for it to take effect.

[BBChristopher]

I started a new thread about the issue I have...

Total crash of the pearl....
If you think you can help, lend me a hand!

Thanks.....
I am in the process of trying to reload the software, this time deleting everything first...

I will post back what happens....

TIA for any help

[pixpox]

One last question before I plunge in for the upgrade:

Will the new Cingular update remove my present BB Dimension and Zen Themes?

Thanks,

[hf1khal]

No as log as you have it backed up and the apploader will put them back in.

Did you ininstall Tasks when your loaded your software? I've encountered the same problem after updating the software on my BB and had Tasks uninstalled... When I reinstalled Tasks, berry411 worked again...

[krad]

after last upgrade.... i actually put the least amount of memory for the media manager.

12-10 megs
and
0 megs for thumb nails.

i now have 36 megs free on my pearl and it is much more zippier

[michalopoulosgk]

Just a word of caution.....I upgraded, it took about about an hour....and lost all my connection to the BES! For the moment, no email no internet....and hope to be able to reconnect.

[NJBlackBerry]

Were you connected to your corporate network (e-mail) when you did the upgrade? If so, then it would have reconnected just fine. If not, you may have to wait until you get connected and them work with your IT group to get Enterprise Activation established. It works very well if you are connected to your network.

[krad]

i was vpn'd in to my work network... no problems
