Big problem after upgrading 8900 to 5.0.0.348. Actually worked great for everything on the phone BUT then I could no longer hook to DeskTop Manager. DeskTop Manager says is an incompatible OS. Causes me great heartache when I couldn't figure out how in the world I could downgrade back when I couldn't hook the phone to the DeskTop Manager. Finally remembered a trick a Tmobile Rep had taught me once. Take out the battery and then hook to DeskTop Manager. This worked. First of course I had to take the new OS off of my computer and put the old one on. Hope this helps someone else! P.S. Be sure and put the battery back in during the process so that the phone will be able to "reboot".

Have not had this problem Tried updating your DM? Alternatively, you can downgrade without the DM by running 'loader.exe' in the 'appdata' folder, I believe.

Now I had a similar problem with .314, but my DM with my mac has no problem with it.
I'm pretty sure you don't downgrade or upgrade using the DM (it is possible yeah) but why not just download the update yourself (assume you have since you have .348) and downgrade that way.
When you use an alternative way to upgrade you're most likely going to have to use an alternative way to downgrade, but you found that out already. haha

Had no problem upgrading mine to .328 using Dm 5.0.1 (phone is locked to Rogers); cool OS has a bunch of nice little improvements over the prev OS

To v5.0.0.328? On DM?
or v4.6?

Did you mean v5.0.0.348?

[alphasports]

Sorry you're right....348

[lilshorty]

had no problem with 348 so far....its actually really nice

and for the people who keep asking if there are any changes between 348 and 314, the only one i have noticed is the change in the sms and mms txt. its just a slitghtly diff look thats all

[davidandrew]

Oh, I forgot to mention I haven't had any problems connecting the phone to DM with both mac and pc after 5.0.0.348 update.

So I gather there may be some problems with UMA. Some features of QuickLaunch have gone funny (SMS and Bluetooth toggle, for instance), waiting for an update of the BeejiveIM beta, and not having to do my own fix for the backdrop on the app screen issue, but otherwise I much prefer it to OS 4.6.

The only problem i got on the 348 was that the browser was really slow or most of the apps that use data and uma works on 348 but i rather have a fast browser rather than free calls!!
