You have to edit the blackberry.alx file. Read my post about optimizing your BB's memory. Its in my signature.

Wow thanks that is an awesome write up.

After trying these release out for a couple weeks I feel confident in saying that memory leaks are significantly improved over the .81. Other than that, I didn't noticed any other change or problems. Every other functions work as designed (camera, video, email, etc).

Right after upgrading my OS to 4.5.99 , I can no longer charge my device and it is almost dead , please help . Do I need to downgrade or is there a fix for this ? My device does however recognize the usb plug, but not a wall or car charger ?

Have you tried to pull the battery or reset using Alt + Right Shift + Del?

That's odd... tried a battery pull numerous times and nothing. Tried Alt+Right shift+ Del and now it works ! That is a mystery yet to be explained. Thank you for your quick and accurate reply.

This is the second time the Alt+Right Shift+Del fix something the battery pull didn't (the other case was a non-existing unread msg)... I guess it's a "stornger" reset... Good to know...

Well, I thought I'd zip through this with no problems. Worst part is it's my wife's phone! I'm on the "Updating Your Device" screen and it whizzed through all the steps up to "Load JVM and System Software". It's now been hung up there for 30 minutes and the progress bar hasn't moved. The BB is dark (not a white screen) and doesn't respond to any buttons. Is this normal or did I f'up? I'm afraid to disconnect it. Appreciate the help!!


Update 1 Hr Later: There was no progress so I disconnected the unit. Got error msg on the Loader saying there was a communication error. BB won't turn on. I went to sleep to pray that the BB angels would fix it overnight.

Update 8 Hrs Later: I did a battery pull. BB won't turn on but LED blinks red with 2 quick blips every couple of seconds.

Any suggestions? Is this thing completely toast now?

Contrary to experiences of others, I'm having significant memory leaks with this version. I run a memory hog of a program, so i usually have around 19-20MB free. Since I updated to this version, I easily lose 3-6MB in one day. I just did the alt + right shift + del and regained at least 3MB just since this am. Any ideas?

[ctomasaitis]

I did it and all is going well so far, I had a few scares after I took out my battery and put my sim card that my phone wasn't turning on after I placed the battery back inside... turns out I just needed to press the power button ;)

yeh, I was wandering the exact same thing. Also, the .81 made my 8310 much slower, as it freezes all the time.. if anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

Thanks

Hey all! I've read the entire thread here and am getting ready to install the new OS and have a question. I removed the vendor file and all. I have a couple of quesions.

1. However I am confused as to when it asks if I want to do a Device Backup. If I say yes, it has a warning that states: "After completing the loading operation, you must activate your device wirelesly to continue to send and receive messages and use other BlackBerry services."

As I don't use the BlackBerry Intenet Service or Messenger, so would that apply to me? (I use gmail and yahoo)

2. Should I not do a device backup? Will that matter?

3.I am running DM 4.6, will I need to update that as well?

[captthomason]

Was a little scared I might mess this up, but if you follow the 3 easy directions you will be on your way in no time at all!

1. I am on ATT and it did it for me. After it got finished i got a PIN stating it was wirelessly activated.

About to update from the Rogers release to this one. Will see if there are any discernible differences....

[OVERKILL]

So far so good, definitely feels faster than the previous version. Notably so......

I just loaded the 4.5xxx99 OS. This is an upgrade from 4.2. It was a piece of cake. I read everything then read it all again. Had to first upgrade to DM 4.7 first. Got a little nervous over the extra vendor.xml file so I deleted the DM and then re-installed but w/o the auto updates. The OS took less than 40 mins. No hang ups what so ever. I am very pleased with what I've seen so far of the new OS.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR EXCELLENT INSTRUCTIONS AND THANK YOU FOR THIS FORUM.

Best Regards,
Tim

From Vodafone Slovenia; This will load on any carrier's 8310 model by following the instructions below.

This version is Multilanguage and contains English.

* Applications: 4.5.0.99
* Software Platform: 2.7.0.84
* File name: 8310M_PBr4.5.0_rel134_PL2.7.0.84_A4.5.0.99.exe
* File size: 76 MB

Download the file here:
Click!

Instructions for installing on ANY carrier's 8310:

1. Download the above OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
2. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
3. Plug in BB and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.

The process takes about 45 minutes to an hour depending on how much data you have to backup and restore during the process. Once it's done loading the new OS it will reboot (it may do this twice during the entire process.) You will see a white screen with an hourglass for up to 20 minutes at a time while the DM says "waiting for initialization."
If, for some reason, you end up with a white screen with small icons and the number 507, simply connect to the PC again and run Loader.exe again and it should load the OS to the device.

To find previous versions of the OS for this device, click here:

can i back up during the application loader set-up? or do I need to do it seperately before the upgrade process?

[blackberry-baby]

ok i had that 507 error come up but it continued to download???? what does that mean?
