4.5.0.46 is out in the wild!

I read it on the Crackberry forums.

.46 or .48?

.46 or .48?

.4(6)

[Sith_Apprentice]

yet another in a very long list of betas that seem to come out every couple of days.

[nfl46]

Yeah, they say the file is big. Around 126 MB. I wonder why. A few people posted links over there ... they are newbies, they'll be banned soon, lol. I guess they didn't read the rules.

[NJBlackBerry]

Yep. 48 is already out and no sign of when it is going to end!

Be very carefuly with the extra large files - the have LOTS of languages in them, and they probably are bundled with the RIM Internal Tools, including Quincy. The tool that tells RIM every time the BB is restarted.

[Sith_Apprentice]

that sounds more like a Desktop Manager sized file for 4.6 rather than the software for the handheld.

[vinmontRD]

Is it my imagination, or is the 8300 being marginalized these days? I've found .42 for the 8300, but .44 and .46 seem to have appeared for the 8310 and 8320, but there's little love for my dusty old 8300 out there...

Was hanging on, hoping to keep my 8300 up to date until a 9xxx appears for T-Mobile...but I'm definitely feeling like I'm being left on the sidelines these days...

4.5.0.48 was leaked for the 8300 a few days ago.
It's likely not spreading like the other handhelds, since the 8310 and 8320 have basically replaced the 8300 and there's more demand for those models.

[vinmontRD]

Thx...I feel a bit less abandoned knowing that. Hoping to find it soon (or an official one). Seeing the .42 memory leak -- I was down to about 2mb free memory before rebooting the 8300 just now... It's slow: I was able to go for several days before getting to this point, but I'd rather have something closer to production grade on my Curve!

Fingers crossed for this to surface soon...

dont worry... you'll get an official release from T-Mobile by the 5th of July since they like to stay ahead of the curve due to not having any other "perks" like 3g.

the only bummer is they'll probably release 4.5.0.37, and we'll all be spending the 3-day weekend at a t-mobile store, waiting for fresh sim cards.

[GT5L]

has anyone tried this 46 release on their 8320? does it fix the vm icon issue? does UMA still work? are there memory leaks with this release?

[sheldonbk]

On the memory leak problems... I'm wondering if those people with bad memory leaks are running Viigo beta. The recent msg from Viigo said they have a very bad memory leak issue. IE. Is it the OS or Viigo??

I've had memory leaks with all betas some more than others and I have been using either stabdard or beta viigo at the time among other apps.

JS - yes - I realize that - this has got to be the first time since I got the 8300 that this happened. As I like to try various apps and OS versions, and I've loaded / unloaded loads of stuff over the past year, I tend to check free memory fairly frequently to see what's phone-friendly and what isn't.

After a reboot, I'm back at about 12MB, which has been typical for a while now. I recently put an 8GB card in the phone, and will be moving all images and most ringtones there. Also already went through the exercise of removing foreign language files, the BB help file, BB messenger (I use JiveTalk), etc.

I've taken off a number of unused themes that I had collected over the last year, and will probably stip off a few more.

Now that BBWeather works again, I dropped YWeather and that other free one published recently (only need the weather once!).

3rd party apps down to BBWeather, Viigo (tango beta - that might be a memory leak culprit?), MaraTick, JiveTalk, Opera Mini, Live Search and Google Maps. Got rid of the Yahoo applets -- cute, but slow and big. Also have the updated free version of Docs to Go.

With all this, I average about 11.5 to 12MB free memory, and the 8300 seems fine with this - no lost messages, etc., no freeze ups - works fine. I just have to remember to keep an eye on it until/unless I manage to load up a more stable version of the OS...

What are the improvements for 8100 4.5.0.46 compared to 4.5.0.44? Does the camera work perfectly or still has the darkness and white balance problem?

On .44 I was sitting at like 12-16 free memory...just wiped the handheld and put had pretty much everything but Viigo on there and was up to 20-22....kinda sad. Like the little program

So no one has answered my question, is UMA still working, does 46 fixes the missing voicemail icon issue?

[NJBlackBerry]

UMA works.
Voice Mail icon works.
Can't answer memory leaks as I've never had that problem.

Or, VMI OK.

[BCollins521]

Memory Leaks seem to be better than .44

[VizagDude]

Good to know that VM icon bug is fixed in this realese. This was killing me as I missed out on couple of important time bound messages (ok, I dont want any PMs from the third party app guyz selling me the text or email VM service).

I'm istalling .46 on my device as Im typing this message.

[John Clark]

You're missing out....the Youmail.com service is great! I tried it out due to the missing MWI on TMo and now I won't be switching back. It's far better than TMo's VoiceMail system....and it's free. To each his/her own, though.

[Shaythong]

I installed 4.6.0.46 but when I tested if the voice mail icon would show up, it didn't. I called my BlackBerry phone using another phone but my BB didn't have a Voice mail icon. I'm on T-Mobile. Does it take a while before it shows up or what?

The only thing i have noticed so far is that FINALLY!!!!!, AutoDim has been fixed, whats that so hard RIM? Jeeeeeez but thanks anyways.

Besides the memory having a slow leak in all versions, it hasn't been a problem for me at all.

I can say that 4.5.0.46 has been an improvement due to them noticing such a small detail left which was the auto dim feature. Anything above .46 is good for me, haha. Can't wait to get .48

[Lokheed]

.46 on the Pearl still doesn't fix the camera. Flash doesn't work and the lighting adjustment is non-existent. Been like this for numerous builds... I guess this is not a priority for them? Sigh.

[justajason]

I like the .46 build. Seems to be working prety well. Better than the others by far.

[stealthx32]

This is something I just noticed...(maybe new in all 4.5's)

If you use speed dial, it'll make a quick tone to let you know you've done so. It's not listed in the ringtones, so it must be an embedded sound somewhere.

[John Clark]

That was added in 4.2.2, I believe. It's been there quite a while, anyway. If you put it on vibrate or quiet profiles, you won't get the tones.

[gatortone]

So, I guess I'm a gluton for punishment...but if .46 fries my SIM card like .42 did, then I'll learn my lesson for sure...maybe. :S

Anyway, the only issue I've experienced is while on a phone call, the phone reboots. I've taken out the media card, so that can't be a culprit. Any ideas on what it could be? My 3rd party apps are Google Maps, Facebook 1.2, and Opera Mini. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

[John Clark]

I don't think .46 will fry your sim card. Not sure on the reboots.

[hotburnttoast]

Well so far so good, I have more memory with this release, Only 3rd party app running is windows live serach and that is it. The UMA handoff drops calls for me. For example if I am on a phone call while on EDGE and I walk into work while on that call, the UMA handoff makes the call failed, and I cant redial for like a few minutes. I get the call failed message on the screen. Anybody else have this issue

I havent had fried SIM cards since .37. Havent had any issues with .42 or .44
I just loaded .46 on my 8320 so we shall see.(y)

[John Clark]

Fried sim. Tastes just like chicken.

[strike2tamu]

I am running .46 and it is doing good so far, only getting about 35 megs freespace and thats after JC's cleaning and no 3rd party apps.

EDIT: LOL as soon as I posted this my phone just restarted twice...now with 38 MB free.

[gmichelson]

I got a bit of restarts with .46, have not been able to pin point what it is - but I think it's UMA related.

[gatortone]

Don't think it's UMA related. Mine rebooted while on the road and on the phone. I have since turned off the WI-FI. I'll let you know if I still get the reboots.

[strike2tamu]

Lol I am unistalling a 4.5 version once again...long live 4.2 I guess.

[Rizzo]

I loaded up .46 last night and it is working good for me. I only have about 20mb free, but that is the most I have seen in a while. I usually have between 12-15mb free. How much space does the voice activated dialing take up? I never use it but haven't gotten around to removing it yet.

[BCollins521]

So far this is the most stable build that I have loaded on my 8320...I have a lot more free memory...after a reboot I have about 21 free and that's with a couple games and the usual. Nothing fancy. So far I like it over the .44 for memory space.

[strike2tamu]

I think T-mobile is messing w/ me, works fine when I turn the radio off.

[BCollins521]

I haven't had any reboot problems with my 8320

[gatortone]

After a 7 min call, a 2 min call, and a 5 min call - all with the WI-FI turned off - everything is functioning fine. I'll keep testing it.

BCollins521/those without reboot problems - do you have UMA/WI-FI turned on?

I use Wifi at home, don't use @<hidden> No reboot problems when I browse with the Wifi

[strike2tamu]

Yea I let it install fully before taking out the cod's and run for an hour or so...it restarted once during this time, then stripped it down and started the serious reboot problems. All other times I had 20 MB and left it alone (did not take any files off) and it still restarted all the time. I might try cleaning the memory card completely and leaving all the stuff on there again when I get time to mess with it again...probably on the 4th.

Update on my reboots - it doesn't matter if I have wi-fi on or off, but I do notice that whenever I talk to another mobile phone, whether they're VZW or AT&T, the phone reboots. However, I haven't gotten disconnected with my wife who is also on T-MO. I talked to someone over landline for about 30 minutes yesterday and that call never got the (re)boot. I'll try it again this afternoon.

I'm going to try a cleanwipe of my phone and then try to load this OS back on there. I haven't heard of anyone losing their SIM card on this version, so I feel confident that once I can figure out the reboots, this could be a fairly solid OS.

I'm going to try a cleanwipe of my phone and then try to load this OS back on there. I haven't heard of anyone losing their SIM card on this version, so I feel confident that once I can figure out the reboots, this could be a fairly solid OS.

Can't saw for VZW but I have called AT&T phones and it doesn't reboot...maybe it is a bad load. I wiped mine before I loaded it on, on accident cause it came up with a 506/571 error and I wiped it thinking that would fix it but didn't and I just needed to uncheck the "backup before installing" option on the DM

I use the dial from home screen all the time, and I never had the problem with 4.3, It stopped working with 4.5.37,44, and 46. Both my 8820 and 8320.

[BCollins521]

Huh, maybe it was something RIM decided to take out or haven't caught. I took the dial from home screen off cause I like the shortcuts to things...much faster than just being able to make calls. I use my BB for texting/emailing more than calling

So there are 2 problems on my 8320 tmobile 4.5.0.46:

1) No VMI
2) When I dial voicemail, it connects then disconnects. I have to dial my own phone number to get to my voicemail.

Guess I might have to downgrade. VM is something I can't live without!

[m4rketsense]

I'm running .46 on my 8320 and I experienced the reboot issue for the first time yesterday. It only happened when I made an outbound call -- the phone rang once and then rebooted. I believe each time that it happened was over UMA (so far it has happened 3 times and each time, I believe, I was calling a land line).

I am also having problems with the cell to UMA handoff. The call will typically get disconnected.

[jimpilot]

So I took the plunge today. It appeared most everyone having issues were on T-Mobile so being on AT&T I tried it.

Before upgrade 8 megs after 16 megs going from 42 to 46. Everything is working well so far.

[rafa2044]

no browser following the upgrade from .42 to .46! Help! Help!!
It is grey'd out on the app. loader, so i don't understand. It is not "hidden" either.

Ok, now go to Options >Advanced Options >Host Routing Table. Hit the meny key and select "Register Now."

I had a feeling you would be around. Done that. Now what? Shall I wait or should I do a battery pull or restart?

[John Clark]

Login to your BIS site and resend service books from there.

[rafa2044]

Thanks JC. I am taking deep breaths!!

[rafa2044]

So I sent the service books...
This is what I get when I press alt and the return key and go to the browser icon:
"Your device does not currently have any Browser configuration service book entries. Please contact your service provider to enable the browser in your device."
Is there anything else I should do?

[John Clark]

For some reason the service books aren't pushing. It's possible that TMo users with unlocked devices won't get service books for this OS....just a thought.

Anyone else with an 8310 on TMobile and this OS have a browser service book?

[Garz08]

I upgraded from Vodafone .37 to the .46 and it is much smoother. I finally upgraded due to the little browser glitch in .37

[stealthx32]

What browser glitch? 46 has one too, if you scroll to the bottom, sometimes you get stuck scrolling down, whether you actually scroll up, down, left, or right.

I had that issue with .37 but not with .46

[John Clark]

I've seen this issue of only being able to scroll down in the browser. It is still present in .48, I've heard.

[irockash]

I've seen this issue of only being able to scroll down in the browser. It is still present in .48, I've heard.

Saw it in .42... I think if you scroll up really quickly, it'll go back to normal. Haven't seen it .46 yet.

[John Clark]

I noticed it most on the wap.blackberryforums.com site.

[rafa2044]

hmmm.... I guess I would be rolling back down to .42? I also have .44. Any suggestions on which one should I load?

[WorldIRC]

Call your provider. Ask them to do a resend to switch and then have them push the service books to you from the backend.

[bzflagace]

Well after nuking my unit on the first pass, I tried again and finally got .46 on my unit. Haven't played a lot with it as it was late when i finally got it loaded. This morning, however, I have noticed that I have a folder for IM but when I go inside of it all I have is the "up" icon. How do I now get Yahoo IM back on my unit? Thanks in advance.

Do a search for google and yahoo and you should be able to download them. Once you do, they will appear in your IM folder.

Is it me, or only T-Mobile people are the only ones who have problems with these upgrades? Lol.

Guess I'm lucky...I only had one problem when I first loaded it on my device and had to wipe and reload the OS but since then it has been great

[Calvin413]

Well People, I found the radio signal and the POR's intolerable so I have come back to .44 from .46.

The version may have fixed something, not really sure, but I know there was a reason for it other thanthe Quincy stuff! wink-wink

[black betty]

I currently D/L .46 and im just gonna sit on it for now, IM running .44 w no issues and based on what is going on here i am not convinced about loading .46

[cdoggLBC]

Anyone seen 4.5.0.46 around for the 8120???

And no, I'm not asking where to find it.

What happened to T-Mobile Zen in .46? It seems I have T-Mobile but not the Zen variant.

[BIOHazard87]

Good luck finding it. I've been searching for three weeks.

Yeah I've only seen 4.5.0.42 for the 8120 :(



EDIT: Sorry for the double post, I thought it would merge posts like it does on most forums

[strike2tamu]

I will be wiping and re-installing.46 tonight, wish me luck.

[strike2tamu]

Quick question, should I use JL to wipe or just do it from the device?
EDIT: I just read that it doesnt delete the OS, so I will use JL to get a clean start.

[flash24]

Ok, I upgraded to .46 and decided to downgrade back to .42 because my BB just randomly turns off on every phone call. Now, I can't receive any emails, I tried resending my Service Book numerous times, and I don't even get the confirmation emails. No luck also on Resending HRT.. I spoke with a Tmobile PDA tech earlier she lied to me by saying RIM is experiencing a problem, I'm calling her a liar because my brother's email is working fine.

What's also weird is, I don't even see the Email Set-Up icon. My BB Messenger also is down. Surprisingly though, Jivetalk is working.

I don't know what exactly is going on, but I have not experience this problem before. Feel free to suggest whatever is on your mind

Out of curiosity -- did you check your APN settings under Options / Advanced / TCP? I've been using an unlocked 8300 on T-Mobile (which works beautifully), but find that when I replace the OS, the APN sometimes reverts to a cingular address, instead of T-mobile. I haven't seen a clear pattern yet, but that's one thing that doesn't seem to carry over consistently from one OS version to the next during an upgrade.

Well so far so good.

[gmandese]

I tried to install 4.5.0.46 for my 8320. But, when it erased the apps and data, then loaded everything, it rebooted. After that I got the "507 error, and it said that setup could not continue! No matter what, I cannot get past that point. Fatal Error. Since then, I re-installed 4.2, restored my backup so the phone is working fine. It just won't accept the upgrade! How did you install the .46 to your 8320?
I have done plenty of upgrades, deleted vendor xml, all that, but this just leaves me stymied! Maybe I somehow got a bad OS download? Is that possible?
BTW, using the latest 4.5 DM, Windows Vista home premium.

I am on .46 with TMO and I have the browser. It wasn't there after the upgrade but it eventually came. I think I did the host routing table thing.

[strike2tamu]

I have all my icons, some are even doubled, like t-zones for some reason.

[John Clark]

TZones has been doubling for some time now. Not sure what that's all about.

Well I hate to mess with a good thing, but I love all the free space I can get...is it safe to delete all the pics, voice dial, etc. that I dont want, or will this cause complications? I currently have 28MB free...pretty sure I can get that close to if not over 40MB with a clean.

LOL yea bro, I tried everything. Luckily, a guy from the tmobile pda tech was able to push the service book by resetting everything, including the server. Now I'm back on track :) Thanks though!

[ChesterJT]

Does .46 still have the red! on unread/unreplied messages?

[John Clark]

I think that is gone.

[nfl46]

I just installed it on my BB. It's quicker than 4.2. Everything is working so far for me.

[wassy]

don't know if it's me, but I've been upgrading all along, version after version. all of a sudden, .46 seems a bit unstable. I'm getting alot of freezing and hanging. nothing new on my system except BBUnite! which I just uninstalled because I could not get that working via web admin. I deleted the remote controller on the Device, and rebooted. seems also seem a bit slower, almost a pause, when going from say, main screen to 2nd screen (using Precision Zen 1.2).
File free, as of now (12 hours after last wipe and fresh reinstall) : 4412999 Bytes

Also, my battery is draining like there's no tomorrow. unplugged from charger at around 7:45AM today. currently 8:55 AM, so just over an hour, I'm at 90%. by noon, I'll lose a bar or two on charge.. this is definitely not close to what I had previously.

any suggestions?

by the way, option software on device :

Viigo Beta
Yahoo msgr
aim msgr
windows msgr
live search (not working as quickly, lately)
facebook
blackberry tools (quincy and the others)

I like the guys in the PDA support group at T-Mo customer care - always had great experience with them. Provided a load of support when I was using an MDA with Windoze Mobile. They really knew the product, knew about hacked ROMs and didn't give me grief, but instead actually helped me get the most of the of the device and OS -- and when I called them, it was generally late at night. Good team there...

Glad you got things going again. I hate to post suggestions that might be obvious to you. Back to my big issue of the moment: wishing/looking for .48 (or better) for my 8300!!! (sigh).

Everything still working great here with ATT. I've had .46 since last night.

My facebook app isn't working though?

[strike2tamu]

The camera problem still not fixed, white screen outside...ahh...back to 4.2 for the 6th time, lol glad to know I finally got it working though.

[pugenio]

I'm having a lot of "HTTP error 400: Bad Request. The server could not understand the page or request, or it was unable to process it for some reason. Please try loading a different page" On details you can see "Connection refused". This happens on plenty of pages, but not all. I have 4.5.0.46 on a 8100.

Anyone else having this problem?

[wassy]

it seems Viigo/Tango Beta has been really acting up last night and today, ever since fresh install. my batter, at 2:45PM today was at 58%. 2 phone calls for a total of maybe 2 minutes, 2 Viigo updates maybe 3, and not a whole lot of emails.. so I got me a battery problem, eh?

If you know how to mix cod files from different builds, you could mix 4.5.0.18's camera modular/cod files into .46's folder. It was reported to work well.

[cellman08]

I have done three beta upgrades and I am now on .44 and I think I am going to stay there until the official release. I have not had a single problem, so I figure, why push it.

I don't blame you! Unless I come across any issues with .46, I will be staying with this until official comes out.

[monotremata]

.46 working ok after 2-3 days here.. memory leak seems to have slowed a bit..

Im curious what camera issues are you people having??
I just noticed last week on .44 that all of a sudden the quality of my pictures has gone to complete crap. looking at pics I took when I first got the Curve (4.2.2 direct from Cingular) and recently, there seems to be a hell of a lot of added noise to the pictures.
The first few I took I was shocked at how good the quality on the BB was.
Now I look at recent ones I took and it looks like my 10 year old crappy Intel webcam pictures!!

[s0dhi]

Facebook works great on my 8310 with 4.5.0.46

For me as well, though I wiped the device before the upgrade and then downloaded the facebook app fresh.

[wassy]

ok, I'm having serious issues here. this is ironic as I've been lucky so far with all other builds. my memory is going to zero daily. this is on a fresh install after wife. will have to try again. I am going to delete from PC first, wipe device, reinstall to pc, and reinstall to device.. something must be corrupt somewhere, because this was workign well before.

[wassy]

I just realized when I loaded this OS, I also selected all the themes from various vendors, as I had not seen most. that's alot of memory right there, so I am deleting from device.. let's see how that goes before anything else.

UPDATE: deleted those themes, kept precision and the basic BB ones, and reinstalled Viigo Beta. current File Free : 12178432 is this good, bad, ok?

[nfl46]

Okay,I got my Facebook app to work. I had to reinstall it lol. I don't know why I didnt think to do that at first.

I just removed .46 after just a short while. I found an annoying envelope icon that stayed no matter what I tried. I would delete messages and it was still there. Tried a battery pull but nothing. The release looked and felt a lot better than 4.2, but I guess I'll just wait for the official TMo release. I also did not get VMI at all when I had a voicemail message waiting.

Well after 3 days of running .46 on my 8320, the memory leak has been greatly reduced, the only problem I have is when on UMA phone call, and goto EDGE it drops the call, then it wont let me redial for at least 2 minutes. Other than that I have been really happy with this release.... THE VM icon is still not fixed, but I got Youmail, so all is good
