Does that rely on the TCP APN being set up? Check and see if it is still there/.

I order to get the Vodafone theme among many others is to hack the BlackBerry.alx file before you install it. There are detailed instructions by Jibi and Seattle I believe. Search the board for "theme unlock".

Another problem; derlivery/read status doesn't seem to be updating for Messenger and PIN's since I updated.

I wonder if I should wipe and reinstall?

I just read this thread and was happy to read about the new OS. I had one quick question though. Can I use the same .alx file dc/dc posted on these forum boards to enable the vodafone today, cingular, etc... themes since it's for the 8100 anyways or would that same .alx file not work with this new OS?

Does it make any other changes to the system (sound quality, changes in reception etc?). I am loving my pearl in every respect bar the annoying ringer/silence function, so I am reluctant to mess too much with it unless it pretty much changes that and auto dim!

So the Upgrade to the new OS fixed this for you?

Default Phone is autodimming on new os

I have always had the auto dim feature off and now I believe that it is on and I cant find it in the new os. My brightness is up to 100 and i believe that it is still dimming in darker lighting conditions. Anyone have any idea and I have also had the problem of my status light staying lit after i have hung up a recieved call. Let me know your thoughts!

From what I heard the OS upgrade still allows up to 1GB of storage only.

sorry this is screwing everyone up! the auto dim is still a feature on the 8100 with the update as in YES it works period. BUT there is now NO way to turn it off so it is stuck ON!! hope this clears things up
