No, that is not necessary.

Not sure where to post this. Please move to another location if needed. I just wanted to alert folks.

Do not use the Surreal theme on 4.5. You will regret it.

Ok, this download went off without a hitch, and everything seems to be working fine EXCEPT I still cannot record videos; the application will open, and it will APPEAR to record, but it will not save the videos, though I can save pictures and voice notes without issue. I have 17.9MB of free space, and I don't really have any other programs that I want to get rid of so... I'm kind of at a loss here.

[JSanders]

Videos will ONLY record to a Media Card... none to device memory.

[RaQHoliday]

^^^Appreciate the attempt, but I do have a 4GB media card, with about 1GB of space remaining.

Edit: Also, I have already removed everything from the media card, tried to record, failed, reformatted the card in the 4.5 OS, tried to record, failed, replaced the data I had removed from the card, tried to record again, and failed again lol.

[JSanders]

Look at Video Recorder > Menu > Options > Folder.

Are you saving to the Media Card?

Can you take a picture and save to the card?

i've installed this OS update and that process went very smoothly. i do have an issie, tho. after installing the OS, i decided to have a gander at each of the themes i have installed in order to figure out which ones to get rid of. when applying one (i can't remember the name of it, tho), i keep getting an "APP ERROR 523 - RESET" error. i've reset numerous times and pulled the battery but every time the curve boots up, i get the same error. any ideas about what i can do in order to get my curve running again? any help is appreciated.

It says i'm saving to /Media Card/Blackberry/videos/

And yes, I can save both pictures and voice notes without issue.

Here's the thing... when I'm recording a voice-note, and select "pause", it will give me the option to rename it or whatever; in the lower left hand corner, it will show the elapsed time and the file size in KB.

When I'm recording video, and I hit "pause", it pulls up that same info, however, the file-size is always 0KB, even though the video length shows correctly. It will not allow me to play what i just recorded, and if i attempt to rename it, i get the message "The selected file is read-only. Are you sure you wish to rename it?" If I select "yes", i get the message "File not found".
Also, Menu>Close will not close the application, and neither will the "back" button, UNLESS I select "delete" to remove the file I was attempting to record. Otherwise, in order to leave the application, i have to press the red "close/end call" key, which I assume leaves the application open.

Hope that clears things up a bit.

[JSanders]

You got me there... let's see what another may say on this.

Until a better idea, my first suggestion will be to reload the OS.

[Pasley]

JSanders, here's a stupid question: How do I do that?

Do what?

[Pasley]

my apologies. i thought you were recommending me to reload the OS. i assumed and you know what that does. i am now guessing you were speaking to raqholiday. again, my apologies.

[JSanders]

Pasley... sorry for the miscommunication. It was directed at raqholiday,... but reading your deal now, you've attempted to load a Theme and hit error 523. You need to reload the OS also. Apparently your theme was not compatible and NOT all OS 4.2 (and below) themes are compatible with 4.5.

It will help to know which theme was the culprit so you can either not load it again or UNloaded it after the OS is reloaded.

Wow I just loaded this and right off I got 26796172 Bytes. I never been able to get over 24xxxxxx. I have not even optimized yet.

This is faster and smoother than the A1 release (.44)

noticed that the custom folder icons are no longer there, now u just have the plain manila folder icon.

[RaQHoliday]

Man, iono HOW everyone is ending up with so much free memory... I don't have THAT many 3rd party apps installed, just webmessenger, xplayer, google maps, Opera, BB411, and a chess game...I'm tempted to remove blackberry maps, since I use googlemaps more often than not... i've already removed a bunch of themes, brickbreaker, Help, the preloaded wallpapers... and I still can't break 21MB lol

IF you remove the wallapaper cod files in the JCMOP Memory Optimization, your custom folders will be gone as well.

[JSanders]

Raq, 21MB file free is usually what I start with after any OS load.
