Any ideas?

I have had more luck getting the 8700r to update when NOT using the Desktop Software, not even with it installed I mean. I download the OS (70MB or so) then install in on the PC and after its finished installing it asks if you want to install it and if you answer yes it takes you into the loader and forces the install not giving it the chance to say it doesnt need any new software.

Thanks. I found two things. First, I went to the AT&T site and downloaded their software OS update; no installation problems with that. Second, as noted above, I would agree, it seems odd, but avoiding using the desktop software seems to be a better process; as indicated in the instructions above.

Can anyone confirm that they have the same problem as me after upgrading to the multi language Asian version at the top of this post.

If anyone has the AT&T 4.5 version WITH a browser please send me the URL for the AT&T version thanks.

I just finished installing this new OS, few things appeared on my BB like Customer Center online, Customer Manager, MyMonternet, Service Hotline,Xin Ji Service Guide.

I tried to locate them under Settings->Options->Advanced Options-> Applications so I can remove them from there, but can't see them there. Please let me know how to get rid of these applications.

THanks,

Hello all. I'm new to the BB world, and I've had my BB 8700 for about 3 days now, and it came pre-loaded with 4.2. Is there any reason I should be upgrading to 4.5? Seems like (from reading this thread) that it's just causing people nothing but problems. Thanks in advance.

Chris,

Keep in mind this thread has nearly 7,000 views and only 25 other posts. People generally only post issues and not success stories. That's really the purpose of support forums like this one.

There are a lot of features in 4.5 such as voice recording, Docs to Go, a better browser, Youtube support, HTML email support to name a couple.

Thanks for the quick reply. Very true about the no news being good news. Thanks again

[jsconyers]

You're welcome.

If you're happy with your device as it is, then there's really no need to upgrade. In the end it's all up to you.

Just for any other users reading this, and became concerned because of all of the horror stories, I successfully updated my device to 4.5 without any problems.

Simply followed the OP's instructions exactly, and resulted in a painless and relatively quick updating. Only additional step I would add is after the initial completion of the updating, I did a battery pull to refresh my BB. Before the battery pull, my applications loaded a bit slowly, but now it's as fast as pre-update.
