Very bugy. LED light stays on all the time. Hour glasses for everything. No HTML e-mails, Web browser hangs, no video recording, video player is unresponsive once video is being played. Going back to 4.2.

No 8100 OS will give you video recording - that's not available on the 8100. did you go into your general mail settings to turn HTML on?

Another great OS update! Downloading as we speak. I really like the Eye protection you guys have

BB Forums is the place for all your BB needs and then some!!

Anyone having any trouble w/ this OS so far, besides dannypaul?

thats2odd · 09-26-2008, 08:44 PM

Just finished and all is well!!

YBH · 09-27-2008, 03:58 AM

Installed and up and running. No real differences seen as yet.

dannypaul718 · 09-27-2008, 10:22 AM

Your right. I read the wrong model when I was looking at the list of improvements to the 8100. Blackberry's site has a chart listing whats new or improved with the 4.5 update.

As far as the HTML option, it was not there.

I am going to try it again. This time, I'll let it do a fresh install without restoring any of my aps and see if there is a difference.

Dose anyone know why my LED light would not turn off?

I don't know if this makes a difference or not, but I have a 8100 from Cingular. My friend has a 8100 from ATT and it worked fine for him. I don't know if there were any phicial changes to the device from my Cingular one to his ATT. Ill repost when I finish the install.

DannyPaul, your HTML option won't be there until you follow ALL of the HTML-enable instructions:

You don't need to reinstall anything IF you already have OS 4.5 on your BB, and the additional applications make no difference as does not the ATT/Cingular difference.

dannypaul718 · 09-27-2008, 02:20 PM

Your right. I was going to resend my services books before the update because my AOL mail was not working to well. So, yes, after the service books were resent, I was able to turn on the HTML. Even got a new AOL mail icon (Green Envelope)

Can the 8100 now handle more than just avi media files or is that the same?

Still hour glasses a lot.

I'm just gonna stick w/ .69 for now.

smthkat789 · 09-27-2008, 05:41 PM

Can you confirm this includes chinese characters/language, thanks.

Or should I just stick with HK CSL for v4.5.0.62 EastAsia
Applications: 4.5.0.44
Software Platform: 2.7.0.61

John Clark · 09-27-2008, 05:44 PM

The title of the post, and the file name of the OS both indicate "East Asia" languages.

So, yes, it contains Chinese.

smthkat789 · 09-27-2008, 05:59 PM

Ok, Thanks J Clark.
In the past OS, I had to use HK CSL (chinese) because previous multilanguage OS didnt have it, now its marked East Asia.
Now I can have the latest update unlike HK CSL which is still a few OS behind.

John Clark · 09-27-2008, 06:07 PM

Yep, there are 3 types of OS downloads that the carriers release:

English Only
MultiLanguage (includes English and European Languages)
East Asian (Includes Chinese, Japanese and Korean, etc. and English)

Liladam · 09-27-2008, 06:22 PM

whats new?

midgetboy1121 · 09-27-2008, 07:40 PM

While installing the new OS it gave a communication error, and windows said that it doesn't recognize the device. My screen is black and the LED is flashing red. What do I do?
