Wirelessly posted (T-Mobile 8100)

Disregard my comments about the backlight coming on when a message is received. Turns out it has nothing to do with the OS. It had to do with a new option in pocket day beta that I loaded after the OS upgrade, and I just now found.

Aha!

i updated my 8100 with latest update v4.5....55 and maps doesnt work, is that normal, does it support it?

thanks

It requires a service book in order to work. Some carriers don't send the service book. Go to Options >Advanced Options >Host Routing Table. Hit menu and select Register Now.

ok i did that and rebooted the phone....

am waiting for it to start again....

by the way, the phone is very slow......

i read that camera can record but its not, i must be missing something or mistaken

The 8100 does not support video recording. All the other models do, though.

The phone will be slow for a while, while it scans the media card. Once it's done with that it will speed up some.

ok thanks for clearing that for me....

so if i flash my curve 8310, it will record? i wanted to try things on the 8100 first as this is my first try and wanted to play with the pearl....

yes, the 8310 will get a video recorder (as long as you have a media card inserted.)

any software version recommended? yes, i have 2gb card in it

thanks a lot.....

as for my 8100, maps still not there......i can see them under applications but no icon.....how can i launch it?

It needs the service book. No service book, no BBMaps. Just like the browser.

how do i get that?

i clicked on register now......nothing happened

I don't know for every carrier, but some carriers don't send it at all. I can't recall if Rogers is one of them. I know AT&T users can't use the new BBMaps.

well, it works on my curve 8310.......

so, does that mean they send it?

is there any other application that i can use on the pearl then?

Do you have a BBMaps service book? Look in Options >Advanced Options >Service Book.

yes it is there....

Just wanted to say thanks, and great find. Been away for a little while, just found out about 5.2 at work, yesterday, came home to try it, and to my surprise(and delight), found .55. Great early B-Day present 4 me, I have my camera back, and all issues I had with .37 are gone. I love it.

i have put 4.5.0.55 in my bb.but it dont have chinese language.any idea how to add chinese language in it..

This particular release doesn't include Chinese language.

ok so im updating my bb rite now and ill let you guys know how it goes......
