in follow up to my previous post, I completed the upgrade and so far everything is working flawlessly. The at&t theme loaded automatically without me having to alter the alx file and my internet works great through both the browser and opera mini. Hopefully it continutes to go this smoothly

John Clark · 05-01-2007, 07:14 PM

Since I upgraded to this version, most times when I type, the keys don't keep up with me and their is a delay. It is very annoying many times.

Is this delay more inherent in this upgrade and/or too many programs/memory usage on my 8100?

Thanks

Thanks

this happens to me when my battery is nearly dead....

do you ride out the batt or keep it topped off ?

hkozlovsky · 05-03-2007, 07:56 AM

My battery definitely is going through its last stages (full strengght lasts now about one full day) but this problem seems to happen even after it has the full charge.

I figured it. Have it working fine with unlocked vendor themes. Thanks

My first post here

Anyway I just switched from a Treo 680 and got a BB Pearl (CSL Hk Branded), currently using it thru my local telco here in the Philippines under Smart Tel.

After thinking it through I decided to take the plunge and upgraded my OS from 4.2.0.64 to 4.2.1.66 a few days ago. I am glad to report that I am a happy camper

for everything works and the only bug i encountered so far is the previewing of the preloaded tunes which i just did to test based on the bugs posted here.

Basically I wiped my Pearl using JL_Cmder and did a clean install from there. Also edited the blackberry.alx for me to access the vendor themes which is sweet. Will update again if I do encounter problems.

I believe you are referring to the browser option to have a cursor. When you're viewing a web page simply click the menu button and select "Desktop View." That will give you the cursor in your browser. To change back simply click the menu key and select "Page Overview."

Ohhh ok. Thanks a lot! ;)

Ok I have searched but cant find any info on removing the message history from a text message. I know you can do remove history from each message but there is a way to disable it totally. Anyone know how? Looked in SMS options and general sms options as well.

-Thanks.

I have a GPS puck and use the Telenav software (though, the same issue was happening with BBMaps). My BB would lose it's bluetooth connection with the puck and I would have to turn off bluetooth and then turn it back on for it to reconnect. To be clearer: my Pearl would connect to the puck and I was able to use Telenav successfully. When I reached my destination, I turned off the puck and quit Telenav. Then later, when I got back in the car, I would turn the puck back on and start Telenav. It would get to the point where it was getting the route, but then stop and say it lost connection with the puck and never regain it. The only way to make it work again is to turn off bluetooth and turn it back on.

This NEVER happened with the previous OS (Cingular .71) and I've been using the Telenav for more than a month now.

I also had issues with my Samsung BT headset and call quality after the upgrade.

Anyone else with BT issues, either headset, GPS puck, or others?

I know this is a bit late, but I experienced the same issue today after upgrading. Are you still having this problem? I'm in the process of doing a wipe and restore.

Forgive me if this has already been answered; I perused the thread and didn't see it.
