You will have to use this link and find another GSM carrier who has 4.2.0.64 available for download. I don't think TMo offers it anymore. If you downloaded it before they changed to .107 you can use the last one you downloaded.

.64 was the previous T-Mobile-US OS release. I believe a few other carriers have released a .103 version including TMO Czech. Not sure if that would have the same issues as the .103 that got pulled from TMO US and replaced by .107.

I have a copy of 4.2.0.64. If you have a location I can upload it to you.

All of the 4.2.1 versions have this multi-tap issue. You have to go back to any version of 4.2.0. There are several carriers in that list that have 4.2.0 for the 8100 still. 4.2.1.71/.73 were the best 4.2.0 versions.

For those who feel this is an issue worth downgrading, I really suggest learning to use the SureType. It takes only a short time to figure it out and it's so much faster than hitting one key two times to get one letter. SureType works very very well (much better than T9.) You just have to realize that it's not predictive, it's just smart.

Type your entire word (to the end) but only hit the button once-regardless whether it's the first letter or second letter of the word. By the time you type the last letter it will have the correct word. This works 95% of the time and only makes errors on short words like "see" and "are" which use the same button combination.

It's really a good system once you get used to it.

Default Much faster

This OS is much faster than the previous. I was one of the ones thatwas able to update to .103 and that was very slow. The only issue I have is that I have lost the icon to turn bluetooth on/off...Anyone experience this or know of a way to get it back?

You should get it back when you pair your device. It should have backed up and restored though. Are you using the same theme as with 103?

...and please change your avatar.

The thing that always kills me about these upgrades is that why oh why don't they bring back the option to toggle between SureType and MultiTap using the * or SYM key???

That would make me super happy. Its such a small thing but it would mean so much!
I agree, I really miss that function.

By the way, have they added an icon for Saved Messages and Compose, or did I just not see them before? (Maybe I had them hid, and never realized it).

Yes the icons are there, just hidden. In the default tmobile zen theme, hit menu -> show all and you'll see them.

Alright.. well I upgraded to this OS while at my workstation PC at my office.

Happy to say that I went through the install process seamlessly.
There were no snags.
I went about my normal day while the upgrade was running,
and expected a 40 - 60 minute upgrade due to the amount of data my BB holds at any given time.

Backup, upgrade/install, and reload of the backup occurred in about 30-40 minutes.

I was having keyboard issues the couple days prior to the upgrade
(which is why I did the upgrade so soon), and I'm happy to report that it cured my issue, as well as very happy with the new text layout (not really layout, but highlight of whole word in SureType, the top display).

I do have a couple of snags so far regarding OS.
I text and email A LOT.

I have my settings to display the last 15 SMS messages when I open and reply to one.
75% of the time, the first SMS in the history (which should have been the last transmission, either in or out), shows up as the second to last, or even third and fourth last message.

Really quite irritating when I rely on the history feature to recall what I'm replying to.

Other than that, I use the Phantom theme, and once in a while, after a new SMS or email comes in, and the first portion of the text shows up on screen and highlights red, I'll read it, and the screen returns to grey, but the portion of the text never leaves the screen.

But, that's my only bug.

Very happy with the smoothness and operability of the OS so far.

Mucho better than the .73 I upgraded from.

Predictive SureType, any chance of RIM ever including that?

I went from 64 to 107 and I wish I hadn't. I now have some call-drop issues (my poor dad got cut off twice when I had 5 bars of signal) and my email isn't working right. It no longer deletes emails on the server when I delete them on my phone. Very annoying.

I have a webserver and I will be happy to host a copy of the 64 OS if someone is willing to send it to me.

As mentioned previously, hosting the T-Mobile OS for download is of dubious legal standing; unless you have a good lawyer I would not adventure into hosting the OS for public download, you might get a call from The Man.
