I just use CrackMem prior to running apploader. The latest version (3.4) has a check box to delete the offending vmm file.

While I was happy with .244, I had to upgrade to something else in order to get rid of the .rem extension that was being added to EVERY single file I saved. For those not familiar with .244, .rem is supposed to only get added on to files when encryption is enabled for the SD card; but .244 was adding the extension on to every file even with encryption off.

No anomalies to report yet, I only upgraded to .247 last night.

Who said it was 'unbranded'? It is very definitely branded, from the offering carrier.

Follow the directions above.

Who can help me?

Look at c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader

You are skipping the "common files".

Open the net_rim_bb_vvm.alx file and change from true to false and save it, then you can uncheck it during the loader.exe process.

Megaupload please...someone?

I'm using .247 from the beta that was released a week or so ago--I assume (?) it is the same as the official release.

I changed the "true" to "false" in the VVM alx file and unchecked the box, so it didn't load, and I get the voice mail notifications. Does anyone know or understand why AT&T doesn't support this function?

They are still on OS .167 so far as I can tell---I don't think they've ever upgraded it since I bought the Bold several months ago. What is their thinking? Are they just waiting for a super-stable new OS? Don't we have that in .247?

[mondonites]

The installation of .247 was very smooth without any issues.

As for changes, outside of adding "(Ring Tones)" beside the Profiles tab in the Options menu, I have yet to find any major differences between this and the previous OS.

Speed seems the same, battery life is the same and so is the memory capacity.

Great OS without any problems.

All Newbies: Do not be afraid of the upgrade. Easy as pie!

Is it just me or did I lose the ability for the "Mass Storage Mode" prompt on my blackberry when I plug my blackberry in to my computer, even with previous version, it doesnt make any sense.

I dont have an SD card but enjoy the ability not to use the media manager and just dump my files on to the built-in memory like an external harddrive, I'm thinking of going back to .224 which was the last version I had which was successful in doing so.

I know the media manager shows the entire file structure, I'm just wondering if I'm missing something here that someone can point me out to.

IIRC, the last rumored release date for ATT to offer the VVM for BlackBerry is supposed to be the 25th of this month. Assuming this is still accurate, I would think they will release their official OS update on or around that time. Whichever version it will be. There is a thread on these boards somewhere, where (My self included) some people saw the feature available on our OLAM for a brief few hours, and then ATT pulled the feature. It wasn't active at the time of the offering, but someones investigations lead to the article I remember seeing about the release date.

thanks worked great and my voice mail icon works again..really was annoying without a message indicator. I guess by the time they support VVM there will be a new os update. Untill then, back to the old way but I at least know I have a message!

[hahersch]

Just did the upgrade. It was easy as heck. Mine actually seems zippier but I have yet to notice anything actually different. Does anyone know of anything?

[bigbda1]

Been using .247 for almost 2 weeks since it was first leaked as a beta. Seems like I'm getting very good battery life. Very stable.

Have you check your setting under option > memory ?

Nothing has changed as I'm on BES and my settings carry over after the upgrade, even after deleting my profile from BES and starting from scratch didnt make a difference.

Since my post count is so low, I can't post up links here is what it reads:

Media Card Support: ON
Encryption Mode: Security Password & Device
Encrypt Media Files: NO
Mass Storage Mode Support: ON
Auto Enable Mass Storage Mode When Connected: PROMPT

Experiencing problems with BlackBerry messenger messages not going out or not coming in.
With 221 it worked great.
3G is less stable : switches from 3G to EDGE often when signal is low (one bar).
