I have about 17 - 18 MB on this new release, still have all ringtones and preloaded pictures. Was 12 - 13 MB before the update, but I did remove a few languages and the demo video.

I also uninstalled voice dialing too.....

I have 17M free now (removed VAD, too).

Can't get to Options -> Help -> About now, though, to check the version.

Have to use ALT + eace instead (thanks, JS!)

Yes hopefuly everything works out with this stuff being deleted. I liek having the free space.

I deleted the vad files, pre loaded media, etc.. to save space. I also deleted the BB Dimension Today and Dimension Icon theme as I never use them. I have a couple custom made themes I use so I loaded those on. My question is since I never use the Zen theme can I also delete that or no? Someone told me that if I delete the Zen theme I would have all kinds of issues because the BlackBerry needs that theme to run. Is that true at all or no? Currently after this OS update theme wise I have: Dimension L, Dimension Zen and two custom themes. I want to delete the Zen one also but thought I'd get feedback from the BB Experts here.

I am having the same problem with gmail on .65. I checked my BIS settings, registered HRT and resent service books and still same problem. Thought it might have something to do with IMAP so I disabled that and only had POP enabled and still no dice. Hoping that .71 fixes that issue. Anyone try .71 with similar issues and notice a resolution?

Thanks!

How do I remove the pre-loaded pictures from the Sprint Blackberry8130

i've never run anything other than .71, but i can tell you that quirks still exist for both IMAP and POP gmail with blackberries... if you use POP, you should be able to choose delete on handheld and server and it should delete the email from both... the problem i have with this is that it *deletes* the email on the server instead of archiving it. If you follow the instructions Google provides to setup Gmail IMAP on your blackberry, it should work the same way, although deletions on one device don't seem to reflect on the other quite as quickly as with POP... IMAP replications seem to take anywhere from 2 to 15 minutes, whereas POP is almost immediate. At least, that's been my experience.

Wow, the 8130 must use up a lot of memory compared to the 8100 (not that it makes any difference). When you delete just the languages/video from the 8100 you end up with about 30mb. BTW you can add/delete apps using DM using any OS version as long as it's dl'ed to your pc.

I think the video camera option probably takes up some good amount of space too..

Discovered my issue had nothing to do with .65 and thus probably not .71 either other than the fact when I upgraded, it changed the setting in my email options under reconciliation to delete only on handheld. This only happened on my gmail account (my default), maybe it happened to dknell's yahoo b/c it was his default email account?? If this happens to you just open your inbox and click Options > Email Reconciliation > and change Delete On to your preference. Hopefully this will save someone else from deleting and adding the same email account 20x....

Follow the instruction here just be careful if you have not done this before.

Too all of you who have the new Sprint 8130 Pearl, this release can be used for those users from Verizon or other CDMA phone companies to upgrade their BlackBerry operating systems. Sprint already comes with this version so there is no need to state that you already have this version on your phone. K thx, bye.

It is a good idea to have the OS installed on your computer so if you have to reload it, it is available. I already have this version on my phone.

I also downloaded it and removed the Voice Activated Dialing from my device - need the OS to do that.

as stated in the first post!

I was just simply stating that there was no need for users to post to this thread saying that they already have the OS on their Sprint 8130.

Thanks Pdone! you nailed it...when i upgraded to .65 it changed my email recon opts...i'm good to go now!

Anyone know if this moves the 8130 to Rev. A?

Thanks. I noticed this yesterday that my default email account (Yahoo) changed. I liked the option of it prompting me to decide whether to delete it just on my handheld or delete in both my handheld and my account. I like to keep my handheld clean of messages. If I need to go back and look at an old message, I can access my mailbox from my computer.

Another thing I noticed about message/email delivery with the Sprint O/S (don't know if this is a bug or a "feature" or whether it is related to the message/email options).

If you are in your mailbox (either your email mailbox or your main messages folder) and a new message comes in, if you don't open the message and you use the back key to take you back to the home screen, the new message indicators go away as if you have read all of your new messages.

Nope.

if i install this on my verizon 8130, will I lose my verizon themes? i actually prefer the verizon themes over the other ones. also, will i lose all of my text messages and emails? i finally found a windows xp computer to load the new os on.

The default upgrade settings are to back up everything on your phone, so you won't lose messages unless you want to.

Doesn't affect the Verizon theme...after upgrading from Verizon to the Telus release, and then to the Sprint release, I still have the following themes:

BB Dimension Icon
BB Dimension L
BB Dimension Today
BB Dimension Zen
Verizon

just upgraded. only took about 30 minutes. all is well. on the latest os!

one thing i noticed that is a bit weird. prior to upgrading to this new os, when i would delete email it would ask to delete it from handheld. now it only gives an option of delete or keep. how can i get it back? i am using bbsmart email viewer.

Go into the "offending" email mailbox and then hit the Blackberry key. Scroll down and select options, and then select Email Reconciliation. You will notice that the "Delete On:" option will have changed to Handheld. Change it back to Prompt. I noticed that upgrading to the Sprint OS changed this setting. Apparently, it changes your "default" email only.

Also, you may want to resend your service books. Occasionally after an upgrade you will receive mail and in the headers it will say "Received using: Unknown." That will give you the problem you are describing. Resending the service books will solve that problem and your settings will come back.

No changes seen yet. Anyone else?

Do you mean from .65 (Telus), or from .60 (Verizon)?

From .65 I believe I see better memory management, but haven't noticed anything else good or bad.

so by installing the above OS for my sprint phone i should be able to install applications from the device manager on to my phone am i correct? pleasse let me know it takes forever to download and install thanks.

so if i already installed the cd that came with my new 8130 , how come i cant still add applications onto my BB via the Device manager? do i still install this thing or what?

It's a large file..download depends on your connection. Install to your PC is fast.

Does anyone who was running .60 and moved to .71, did this solve any memory leak issues?

You probably only installed the DM and not the O.S., it does not come with the BB. That is the software that is actully on the BB and this is what you need on the computer to be able to load aps from the DM.

I still see the memory leak in this release. I was down from 14mb to 6mb yesterday before I reset.

Jared

Wild...what are you running?

Most of the memory leaks have been fixed with the later OS's. Memory leaks are now usually due to poorly written 3rd party apps. What 3rd party apps are you using?

I'm upgrading right now from .60 (VZW) to .71.... wish me luck! For those who deleted unwanted themes, languages, voice dialing, etc, are you deleting directly from the phone itself? Or is it from the Desktop Manager??

also, the 3rd party apps I plan on running are: Tetris (Handmark), GMail app, Google Maps and Texas Hold Em (Handango). Any experience of memory leakage with these?

Wirelessly posted (BlackBerry Pearl 8130: BlackBerry8130/4.3.0 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1 VendorID/105 UP.Browser/5.0.3.3)

It's probably easiest to delete the from the Desktop Manager, as you're asked to confirm all the installations. I use all those apps except Tetris without major problems. I have a VZW 8130 running Sprint software. I used the Telus software as well.

I just got my 8130 last week, it came with this latest version of the software.

I'm seeing pretty bad memory leak; earlier today it was steady at around 13mb, but it has been dropping all evening and is currently at ~6mb.

I deleted the sample video, other languages, sprint music store, brickbreaker, and a few other minor apps; all extra pictures/ringtones/music etc are on the memory card.

Extra apps I have loaded are: yahoo messenger, opera mini, sprint navigation (telenav), google maps, bb weather, sprint tv, handmark blackjack, and softreset. Oh, forgot that i also have pocketday.

This memory leak issue is pretty disappointing, 2 days ago I lost all my messages, sms, call logs, and over half of my 200+ contacts!! Luckily I was able to restore from backup, and regained most of my info.

Just thought I would share information, possibly see if we can find out what the culprit is... (maybe a particular program?)
