I was close

Any other info necessary when switching to new version or simply download and install new desktop and uninstall the older one?

Awesome! I'll be installing this later tonight before the studying starts! Thanks for the report Lunkhead!

To clarify... this is not a new desktop, it's new device software.

1. Make sure you've got the desktop software installed.
2. DL and install the new device software on your PC.
3. Find and delete/rename vendor.xml
4. Plug Pearl in via USB.
5. Fire up Desktop Manager and it should detect the new device software and guide you through the upgrade.
6. DO NOT quit or unplug Pearl until the upgrade is complete. There is a long pause as it gets close to finished and you may think it's hung. Just be patient.

If you are at all unsure of this process, just ask!

Anyone... please correct this if I've misstated anything.

Everything sounds good on this new OS but i hope it fixes the noise crackling on my Blue Ant X3 bluetooth headset.

---You can disable auto backlight feature.....!!!!!!!
---New Tim Theme (ugly)
---When you type the words are highlighted grey.. very strange. could be tim theme

I think I just felt an earthquake from 800 nerds dropping what they were doing and rushing to their PC to upgrade.

The PTT contact list makes me scroll to see my whopping 3 contacts - small bug there.

From Mobile Network, you can do a Diagnostics Test. This might not be new, but I never noticed it before.

801.

(God I'm a nerd.)

799... I already got it

Thanks for the head up rivviepop.... You ROCK!

Should I wait for Jibbi to modify the alx or just install this now...hmmm

------IN media... there is an option to "Activate Handset Speaker"!!!!!

this force music over bluetooth headset????

nope...

--- New icons and graphics across the board.
--- In vodafone today theme... all day events are now listed

I haven’t experienced any problems with any of my videos.

--- new popup when you open an app that wants internet, or device access. Much more clear and understandable...

this is a pretty substantial update if you ask me

@rivviepop

I have noticed a slight issue with SyncJe... The 1st few times I ran it i went to white screen out.. Closed it out and no issues since..

SyncJe 2.11 ver

It had been running like a raped ape with NO issues until the OS upgrade........

How can I get this back to the scroll down version?

Good to hear, thanks.

I'm not as brave as some of you, and I may just wait for the Cingular/ATT official release. Or maybe I'll get more adventurous as the night goes on...;)

I don't think you can.... I have been playing with it and this is the ONLY thing I do not like.... When it flashes to full icon mode I am finding it hard to see when some of the icons are highlighted... Specifically, Pocketday Sports and Beyond411

my browser doesn't work... when i reboot i get a browser windows with a 404... this is bothering me.

Breakage is always good! AND Fun!!!!

Thank you all for the information, links, and reports on the new upgrade.

Is there a way to back up the current OS just in case? Call me paranoid but I prefer to have a safety net just in case.

ok... browser is now working... not sure about the reboot 404.... maybe berry411?

Browser has been rebuilt..now a desktop mode... has a home section as well as a better menu... seems to render much better... also preview area of website... very cool stuff

just download the .71 package and stash it, just in case.

Same here..... Always boots into the browser and it locks up.... Just menu and goto home screen.... The browser works fine after that.... Just on reboot seems to be the issue

I noticed there's only English UK listed in the Language and Input Support section when going through Application Loader Wizard and selecting the applications to update. Anyone have any comments on this? I'm looking for English US or does this not matter?

Bradley

Got the browser issue pegged! It's trying to download the OZ client!

Why the heck would they change the way a theme behaves? I want my list back. I hate these icons.

Can anyone who upgraded confirm this?

Itching to update, just because i want the latest and greatest. This and the TMo Zen Icon change are holding me back.

Got US English on mine....

English US is always included which is why it is not an option during the install.

Thanks.

One more quick question. Does anyone know how to save your Opera Mini Bookmarks? I just upgraded to Opera Mini version 3.1 and lost all my bookmarks. It will happen again when I run this update.

I don't think the DM backup will save these since its not a native browser. I would rather not save them all to BB Browser and then back up.

@d_fisher

Any idea on the browser at boot issue? I have tried everything I know and still nothing... It is trying to load the OZ client....

Is this provider dependent (TMO-users) or does it happen to all (including Cingular)?

Steve

Should just be T-Mo'ers....

you can download .71 of tmobile or cingular theme.... install... copy the 100 zen theme file from the old version to this new version... it should then load the older theme with the list...

or use apploader to delete the new tmobile theme and then load the older one.

Did ask for permission to install anything first? Try denying the request. Or try going to the Application Permissions options and deny it there.
