Video Recording??!!

Am I dreaming or was that just a Typo?

John Clark · **OS:** 4.6.1.250

No video recording on the 8100, even with 4.5. The Curve will sport video recording, though.

That's what I thought, I just read something about Video Recording on the first page of this thread...

Sith_Apprentice · 03-29-2008, 01:14 PM

OP said video recording but i believe meant voice recording

reckon why they didnt add video recording on the original OS that just makes no sense.

John Clark · **OS:** 4.6.1.250

Only reason I can think of is the 1 MP camera may not be enough....just a guess, though.

Sith_Apprentice · 03-29-2008, 01:45 PM

and a small part, they want to switch people away from the 3 year old devices and to the pearl 2 I am sure.

John Clark · **OS:** 4.6.1.250

That's likely a bigger reason!

haephaestus · 03-29-2008, 02:35 PM

This enquiring mind wants to know-- how much free space after a full install? In keeping with the thread's topic, maybe you could post a screenshot of the Status panel?

Thanks!

3. ColorPearl works but it turns all color leds on, so you have only all on or all off selection.
4. I haven't tried to install it yet, but the version I have installed in 4.2.1 works under 4.5 after upgrading.

what do you mean by #3?

How is the stability?

There are major network stability issues with the version he's using, however a lot of bugs were fixed with the next version.

I'm guessing instead of turning on R or G or B, it turns on all 3 lights at once ... so you get a mesh of colors that looks differently depending on how you look at the trackball.

ricpac · 03-29-2008, 10:34 PM

The screens look clean! Nice!

How many versions are usually "cooked" before they actually release the final one? At least we could compute for ETA...

esad_b · 03-30-2008, 08:19 PM

when is this OS coming out its been forever

John Clark · **OS:** 4.6.1.250

Nobody knows for sure. I heard a rumor of first/second week of April for a European carrier. We just need to wait and see, though.

felixdacat · 03-30-2008, 08:21 PM

how long will BB give out the update tingy for pearl

? Will they give version 5.0 too?

NJBlackBerry · 03-30-2008, 08:32 PM

No one knows.
The 8100 will get an update thingy. No one has a date (read the thread - it is stated a few times).

Yes, it will get v5. Version 5 will include a drill.

ricpac · 03-30-2008, 08:57 PM

Lol!

K-La_Iris · 03-31-2008, 02:30 AM

lol... man... thats a pretty funny running gag...

kubixpl · 04-05-2008, 07:29 AM

There are few more bugs in this beta, cant wait for official release:
- stereo adaper plays only 1 channel (mono)
- after receiving or answering a call sounds when dialing a number are VERY loud..
- there is a 'Remove Media Card' option in media cards menu :-D

that's not a bug and it actually already exists in 4.2.1

I never used it, but I guess you have to use it before you remove your media card permanently, so the BB can remove all the references to the media card

You're right, I thought It was from Pearl 2 where you can remove the card without turning off the phone...

thank

MrKyoo · 04-06-2008, 08:24 AM

Requesting a download link for OS 4.5 in a reported post is just not a smart thing to do.

authentic8 · 04-06-2008, 12:20 PM

If 4.5 comes with Micheal Jackson videos preloaded - I'm in.

Not really sure. Until they get it right, I suppose... but I would imagine they're starting to feel pressure to get something out. Since the version the OP has, there have been a number of others ...I can think of at least 6 builds have been released since the .9 release. They have become increasingly more stable since then.

Kliptic · 04-06-2008, 11:00 PM

Thanks for that review... somethings to look forward too indeed.
Hopefully the ColorPearl works to its full extend in the future... definitely grown fond of it

He didn't ask for a link to any beta OS software. He was asking how one might get into the beta testing group. I didn't see anything in your link answering that question. I'm curious as well, as I've done a fair share of beta testing software.

Sith_Apprentice · 04-06-2008, 11:39 PM

Research In Motion send them an email.

John Clark · **OS:** 4.6.1.250

Good luck!

Sith_Apprentice · 04-06-2008, 11:42 PM

shhh JC, you didnt have to tell them that....

Thats so true, count me in too.

abc456 · 04-07-2008, 12:54 AM

I found some link can download this OS, however it's not free. Rim never sell their OS update. So if anybody pay to buy it, will be lost

linekbp · 04-07-2008, 01:32 AM

thanks for the pics, waiting for 8110 upgrade soon

If you go back and look he does ask for a link to the software, and as a second request he asks how to be on the beta test list. Also you can assume that the beta 4.3 he has was not obtained legally either if he is asking how to be on the beta test list to obtain 4.5.

kubixpl · 04-09-2008, 07:16 AM

Hi there!
I'm testing 4.5.0.18 now...
Browser fully supports m.youtube.com now. When you click a movie it opens in Media Player. :-D

pacotill · 04-10-2008, 05:46 PM

Hello,

I'm trying OS 4.5.0.18 beta in my 8100. Another bug for this beta:

-Led indicator is flashing when you have a mail. If you read or delete the mail, the led indicator is always red. And you can't turn off. In this case, the battery goes very quickly. To solve the problem, you have to reboot the 8100.
