i have a Tmobile 8100...and everything is ok.

I'm sure that it is since it's a German release. The "M" in the file name indicates MultiLanguage.

This OS is MultiLanguage.

The filename beginning with "8100M_xxx" the 'M' indicates Multi-Language.

I just upgraded my bb today and everything seems to be working beautifully. I do have a question however about the music over bluetooth that was supposed to be enabled in this release..... has anyone figured out how? I have just a standard bluetooth earpiece but figured this would still work for listening to music, but I cant get it to work.

Any ideas on what I need to be doing or if anyone has had success with this option?

Thank you all in advance,
Smassie

Are you sure that this O/S update wouldn't fry my card on my T-Mobile BB Pearl 8100? From reading the posts some users said it was okay, so I just installed it ahead but just to make sure is it still safe? What would happen? The main post said that in a week it would fry out. Does it explode or fry my battery or anything? I just want to make sure that this is safe for my BB that is all.

Shaythong--the "fried" SIM cards were primarily reported from TMo users, on the 8320 BlackBerry model, using OS 4.5.0.37 version. Could it happen to yours? i don't know know, maybe.
Is it it likely on a 8100, i don't think so.

I think you are safe.

I am not aware of that feature being added--could be, but unawares to me.

Good luck.

I'm having trouble Gmail. When I start gmail I get this:
Error: an unexpected error occurred during program execution. Please try again.

However it loads fine and I can read my email. I do not get notified like I used to though.

Then when I exit gmail I get this:

Uncaught exception:java.langNullPointerException

Any fixes?

I'm using an 8100 v4.5.0.37

You are using the GMail application?

In your OS upgrade, did you load the DocumentsToGo application? If you didn't, go back and add that in the AppLoader process. For some reason, many third party applications such as JiveTalk and others do not work without DocsToGo loaded--and get that same error--until loaded.

Good luck.

I was basing my assumption from an article on PC Mag:

I had assumed that it would still play on a single earpiece, but perhaps I am mistaken. I will keep searching and if all else fails, wait for an official TMo release and read the notes. LOL

Thank you for the response though J, I appreciate that.

Edit: Added link to PC Mag article.

I will assume (and stand to be corrected) that you must have a stereo earpiece to gain that feature. I'm betting a standard earpiece won't be upgraded with an OS upgrade.

Thanks for the information. I have just installed the new OS and it's been loading a little slow, but I heard after a day or so it would load faster. The only problem is the white balance in the camera. I hope they fix it up soon.

When I installed it I ran the configuration tool and it showed up with multiple languages, not just English.

Is there anyway to restore the normal address book display instead of the blocky fat lines?

repeat:

I know u said it is multilanguage, But when I try to change the language it only shows me English, not another language only english, don't know why... I installed this OS posted here and followed the instructions as posted ...peace...

Edit:

Lol, I installed the OS on a T-mobile BB 8100 and it only shows English language and I also just installed the OS on a normal BB ( unbranded ) and It does shows Support on multi languages, any clues why this happens ? ...peace...

Peace x2.

In your OS load, you would have been given a choice in App Loader to install or not (check or UNcheck) the boxes for the other languages. You must have left them unchecked, not to load.

Thanks for all the info in this thread. Upgraded today and all is working fine. Seems slow, but hopefully it will speed up over time.

Good luck and welcome.

I'm now using 4.5.0.42. Everything works fine except the camera is still bad.

upgraded windows crashed during upgrade messed up my phone completely lost everything but ended up wipping it installing the new firmware and all seems to be good atm

Please check the language at the door...

Thank you.

The AIM and Windows Live Messenger wont work on my phone after it was upgraded / added to the device.
when i try to sign on it says "service not enabled for handheld"
does anyone know how to fix this?

very buggy. very slow...

i cannot understand y you made it sticky...

because it is an official release from a carrier.

I can't get 4.5 on my device, I've downloaded 4.3 dm and device software from AT&T yesterday. I deleted the xml file like it said and I still have 4.2.1.96. WHAT NOW?

Double check to make sure the vendor.xml file is gone. Even if you checked before, check again. C:/program files/common files/research in motion/apploader

If that's gone, make sure you installed the proper OS version and for the proper model.

it's gone I have the 8100c software from AT&T

You need to download and install the OS from the link above in the first post. Then delete the vendor.xml file again.

ok--should I get the device software as well?

Where is the English version on Vondafone? I can't read this at all, the 4.5 on blackberry.com did'nt work yesterday either?

Stereo Bluetooth works for me connected to my Pioneer A2DP enabled car stereo. I didn't have to do anything special, just paired the phone and the deck, and when playing music on the 8100, click menu, then click "Activate <insert name of your BT device here>" I would assume that if the connected device has A2DP capability, then you would have the above mentioned menu item.

Having issues with PhoneFusion Voicemail on 4.5. Back to SimulSays.

You can use Blackberry Desktop Manager tool 4.3. 4.5 (and 4.6) is still in development. The device software (4.5.0.37) is multi-language.

Download the 8100 software from the first post and install it, then go to the folder C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research in Motion\AppLoader and delete the vendor.xml file. Then plugin your blackberry and run the desktop application, it will ask you install the new software and backup the files.

I already have 4.5.10. Think ill just stick to the problems I have with this one and not go for any new ones lol. Only realy wanted it for St bt anyway and that works so I'm happy.

I need to know if the 4.5.0.37 will mess up my phone if I update my devise without a data plan, it said to do something wirelessly in order to send and recieve messages?

This fixed not only the Gmail problem but also the Opera Mini problem as well.

Thank you!

Yes, you can update without a data plan.
