Does anyone please know if this fixes the low ringtone volume problem in the TelefonicaVenezuala 4.2?

[Perfect Storm]

I downloaded the simulator for this version, and found 2 more O2 themes (zen, and today varieties) included.

it seems no one is telling us the difference from telefoncia 4.2

Incremental bug fixes. That's about all you'll see in future 4.2.1 versions too.

But do those incremental bug fixes include a fix to the volume problem? It's really low with the Venezuala OS.

Anyone? Please?

[Perfect Storm]

I didn't really notice a volume issue with either bundle.

My logic is that higher versions are almost always better regardless of whether or not bug X has been fixed. Not always the case, but usually is.

With an edited blackberry.alx file all you will see is "update" next to "core applications." Just finish out the process and it will install the new themes.

Solved. Movistar Chile wasn't listed (vendor 136).

since I'm new in BB, never done this upgrade before, and reading those posts above, could someone help me out?

-- Can this latest version transfer picture/ringtone (especially mp3) directly from PC using USB? (my Desktop Mngr is already v4.2)

-- If there is problem with Opera, then what freeware browser will work?

-- If there is a problem during installation, how can I recover my current s/w? (i don't have the original file)
Currently: v4.1.0351 (platform 2.0.0.143)

-- where is the location of vendor.xml?

Many thanks.

-- Yes

-- I don't know of any, I've gone back to the default browser.

-- You can download a package from your carrier and install it the same way. If you follow instructions you shouldn't have to worry though.

Well...I'm one of those users that would rather wait for my service provider to offer the upgrade, but since I'm in desperate need of the wireless two way synch with Gmail and Yahoo! I installed the version 4.2.185 which has the 2.3.0.67 platform. So far no issues have been presented with the functionality of the device. Also to my surprise hotmail is available!!!

One question...it's true that this 2.3 platform will offer calendar synch OTA?? So far nothing new with my Calendar. I'm using T-Mobile.

Thank you in advance for the information.

I removed the "~" everywhere it was in the lbs.alx file. How do I then get that to load onto the BB? I have opened DM after the change and nothing happens- I tried changing the name of the file-I tried forcing it thru during the App Loader file.

I want BB MAPS and do not have it.

I have the Optus 4.2.1.85 and have added the updated ALX for themes, this is what I am missing for a full update--Please help.

Thanks,
John



EDIT: I got it after resetting BB and running DM again.

Thanks

I've been unable to install the new Blackberry.axl file with my application loader. Any ideas!! I've changed the .axl file in the :\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Shared\Loader Files\8700-v4.2.1.85_P2.3.0.67
and still it's does not run, i've even restarted the PC and the BB...please help!

[John Clark]

If you've edited it properly or have used Jibi's all you have to do is open Desktop Manager and run Application Loader. You should see "update" next to "core applications" in the list of installed applications. Finish the installation process. DO NOT attempt to use the "add" feature as you do for other .alx files for adding 3rd party software.

[burriqui2001]

ok...but can you please explain what is Jibi's...ALso all i've done is restart the BB and the PC and still the axl file does not update the BB. Any other ideas...or can you please provide a detail, step by step installation process.

Thank you in advance.

[John Clark]

First of all, I have no idea what you've done to the .alx file. Where did you get it? Did you edit it yourself? You keep referring to it as the .axl file. If you named it blackberry.axl it won't work either.

Jibi edits the blackberry.alx files and posts them in a sticky in the Themes/Ringtones/Wallpaper forum for all to download and install. Instructions are included there. Some have posted on how to edit the .alx file yourself which is fine but leaves quite a bit of room for error and problems.

We need more info on what you've done with .alx's in order to help you.

[burriqui2001]

Sorry!!! I got this file from the first page of this thread. I downloaded and unziped to the :\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Shared\Loader Files\8700-v4.2.1.85_P2.3.0.67 as instructed on the same page.

Still it does not work.

Do you have the correct balckberry.axl file to install for unlocking the themes??

Thank you once again.

John Clark told you where to go for your answer- I will even provide the link:

Oh and it is ALX not AXL

Hey All,

I thought this version creates a seperate SMS folder. I had that with my previous version, using Dimensions-ZEN theme, but the new Dimension-ZEN theme is different, and no matter what Theme I choose, there is no seperate SMS folder.

Anyone have any ideas what I can do to get it back?

AND, what is with the red font. Anyway to change that to black?

Michael

Go into Messages, Options and you can select a separate SMS/MMS box.

The red font is for PIN messages.
