yes I went to Tmobile Site and re downloaded the Desktop Manager

[John Clark]

You need the OS for your device installed IN ADDITION TO the Desktop Manager.

Honestly, if you're using an 8900 as your profile suggests I wouldn't even bother with this thread. I don't do it to my 8900. The 8900 has plenty of application memory.

You got that right. All new Berrys shoujld have similar on board memory. This problem should be no more on the new ones. Thank you RIM.

Hello, I have t-mobile bold 9000 with 2 themes:
Precision Silver and,
Precision Zen (t-mobile theme)
I would like to delete the t-mobile theme. How do i do it? I have the following themes in my java folder:

net_rim_theme_102_zen_480x320_b.cod
net_rim_theme_114_480x320_b.cod
net_rim_theme_115_480x320_b.cod
net_rim_theme_119_zen_480x320_b.cod
net_rim_theme_122_zen_480x320_b.cod
net_rim_theme_precision_silver_480x320_b.cod
net_rim_theme_precision_zen_480x320_b.cod

Which one should i delete and paste to Removed Modules folder? Also, do i need to add/edit the blackberry.alx file and what changes should i make to it?

Thank you.

Very well written and simple/complete to understand! Thanks!!1

I've had the same problem. Tried these fixes - some of which worked for some - with different result:
1 this AWESOME guide - didn't work
2 Pull the battery while ON - didn't work
3 Put LIGHT presuure on the camera with battery off - didn't work
4 change picture storage to SD card - didn't work
5 options-advanced...-host-register - didn't work
6 pulled SD card - worked for a minute or so (I tought card was faulty. Worth a try)
7 installed original version of device manager that came with the phone (my case 4.2.0.14) and reinstalled latest device software with it ( at time 4.5.0.55) finally worked!!!

Seems the the newer version of DM messed something up for me. But the latest version of device software is ok as long as I used the original (for me) version of Dm to install it. It took me a month but finally.

This was an Outstanding step by step DIY!!!

Thank you for all the info!

I do have one quick question tho. I have the ATT Bold and i did all items steps 1 - 6 and installed OS 4.6.0.266.

When working with the Loader it did say it would install Blackberry maps but when i look for them, i am not finding the icon for it anywhere. Is it hidden and if so how do i find it and unhide the icon?

Thank you again John Clark for all the help!

[John Clark]

ATT doesn't get BlackBerry Maps. They don't send the, now required, service books for it.

[Benjamin85]

I agree - you could try removing spell checker or the voice recorder, but there are, in my view, dodgy outcomes when removing files, I don't think it's worth the risk personally. Use some blackberry logic. Balancing high-concept experimentation with urban practicality is the only way to proceed. Good luck!

thank you! Wish it were possible tho.

I upgraded to 4.5.0.152 and then did the above to remove PTT, docs to go, password keeper and the dimension today theme. Now I can't change the sounds in my sound profile. Nothing happens when I click on loud after advanced. Any ideas what I deleted that caused this?

Thanks!

ETA - I have a Pearl 8110.

[jp7250]

My 8830 is with my company and on a BES server. If I unlock vendor themes, and update the core applications with the desktop manager, will it require reactivation through my company's Server so that I can receive email again?

[mizditz101]

Omg your favorite person is back again! jk jk.
So, I've already had one opinion on this - but I figure I should ask here as well
I finally made the switch (thanks to working for Qwest) to verizon, and I just got my storm today.

I've ALREADY had those same sluggish issues I had with my 8100, even though I have oodles of file free space still. My question is, HAVE people had to go through this on the storm? Or can you even?
(I tried to search, only came up with one post pertaining to the storm )

[jsconyers]

You could, but the Storm has plenty of on board memory. I don't think it's necessary. However, upgrading your OS should help up with the sluggishness of the device.

[mizditz101]

Yeah that's something else I've been reading.. so I'm probably gonna give that a try here in a bit.

The last time I upgraded an OS I totally lost my whole phone book (even with a backup) I was sad!

Other than the difficulty of learning the touch screen though, lovin it!!

[jsconyers]

Welcome back around. You're missed in OTL. Create a backup, then do the OS Upgrade using the Loader.exe file. Follow the steps to the letter and you should be alright.

[mizditz101]

Ahhh.. my old stompin grounds ;)

See, I DO follow that stuff to the T... and I STILL lose my contact list :P

Oh well, that's what they created sim cards for (that I never keep updated)
I'll go through all that and if I have any problems, you'll know =D

-edit-
Wait a second... is 4.7.0.148 (4.0.0.181) the newest? cuzzz I have that one. lol... I almost went through all that for nothin!

[jsconyers]

That is the lasted officially released version, yes.
