Everything was going so welll...
then this afternoon when I launched Google Maps, I received an "Uncaught exception Error: Google Maps is not responding..." when it loaded to 90%.
Rebooted, retried, removed, rebooted, reloaded, retried. Same error. Battery pulls did not help. Anyone else having this happen suddenly. Google Maps had been working.

OK, just found in another Forum that this IS an issue with 4.5. I guess I'll have to wait for a Google update.

It's a BES issue. This tells you how to fix it.

Just upgrade to this version. So far so good, YAY ! Everything works great, checked out all apps, no issues so far as I can see, inc Google Maps. Looks a lot better than before.

I see there are versions of 4.5.0.42 for just about all blackberries. 8100, 8110, 8120, 8300, 8310, 8320, 8700, 8800, 8820. I wonder if that's usual or a hint that .42 will be the defacto standard to start things off.

Some carriers could release that version .42, but later versions are out and about now.

This OS will load on any carrier's 8310 model as long the user follows the instructions below exactly as written.

Filename: 8310M_PBr4[1].5.0_rel52_PL2.7.0.55_A4.5.0.37

Package Version: 4.5.0.52
Consisting of:
Applications: 4.5.0.37
Software Platform: 2.7.0.55
File name: 8310M_PBr4[1].5.0_rel52_PL2.7.0.55_A4.5.0.37
File size:80 MB

Click here to download:
Hilfe & Support / BlackBerry / BlackBerry-Handhelds / BlackBerry Curve 8310 vodafone.de

Instructions for installing on ANY carrier's 8310:

1. Make sure you have the latest version of Desktop Manager installed.
https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads...93E4F3BB068C22
2. Download the above file to the PC then install it to the PC by running the file you downloaded.
3. Locate the vendor.xml file and delete it. It's located in c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader
4. Plug in BB and Open Desktop Manager. You should be prompted to upgrade.
The process takes about 45 minutes to an hour depending on how much data you have to backup and restore during the process. Once it's done loading the new OS it will reboot (it may do this twice during the entire process.) You will see a white screen with an hourglass for up to 20 minutes at a time while the DM says "waiting for initialization."
If you end up with a white screen with small icons and the number 507, simply connect to DM again and run application loader again and it should load the OS to the device.

To find previous versions of the OS for this device, click
HERE
can it be used on BB 8300?

NO. Hence the BOLDed portions of that post noting it is for the 8310.

My "only" issue with 4.5.0.42 strangely enough is that I do not get the voicemail message indicator?

Absolutely everything else I use (including MapQuest) works perfectly but no voicemail waiting indicator???

I do get the "Missed Call" message on the BB Today Screen and that is OK as a workaround (for now)... anyone else seeing this? I use an unlocked 8310 on TMO///

I see that 4.5.44 supports UMA which must mean it *works* on an 8320:

http://www.blackberryforums.com/beta...ease-62-a.html

This thread of some older 4.5 releases seems to be inconclusive/negative about UMA working:

http://www.blackberryforums.com/beta...-8320-a-2.html

Anyone tested 4.5.0.52 to see if UMA works with it? I know it is not published to work for an 8320 but it doesn't seem like the 4.5.44 can be that different. I might try it tonight but was wondering if anyone else has so I don't waste my time.

**EDIT: Please disregard this post. After more reading it seems 100% that .37 doesn't work for UMA. I got confused between the .52 package version and the .37 os version.

just for clarification...can you guys post if you are using the beta .37, beta .42, the official .37 or any other form of the 4.5 OS. i thought the thread was about the officially released .37, but all those other numbers have been discussed here. i was trying to figure out if i should upgrade to the officially released .37 or not. im getting impatient waiting for the official at&t 4.5 release.

also if you are on the officially released .37 what are the pros and cons to it? so far it seems like its all good...stable, fast, and other stuff (memory leaks?)

thanks in advance...

I would say to keep all Beta talk in the Beta forum, but here it goes, the voicemail icon missing is a bug that right now is limited to T-Mobile.

What are the black squares next to every open SMS text, and why are there red exclamation marks next to every few SMS texts?

For SMS I don't have boxes or exclamation marks, just the regular checks and envelopes.

Another successful install! Just picked up the 8310 and immediately installed 4.5.0.37 Everything works great! Although I did have one minor hang up.

The phone would cycle through and keep rebooting. I read some articles that mentioned that it had to do with the media card. So I backed it up and reformatted it in the 8310, then reloaded the media. The issue still occurred, I then started navigating through the media and isolated it to a specific pictures folder I had previously created on my 8100. Come to find out it was a specific picture in the folder. Whats strange is that the picture displayed fine on the 8100 with no problems. Oh well needless to say, that picture was deleted with the quickness!!!

Default upgrade - 06-19-2008, 11:35 AM

I did the upgrade, and everything seems to be working EXCEPT the voice note application. After I record a voice note and try to play it back it reads "The media being played is of an unsupported format" anyone have any ideas or sugestions?

Thanks,

Craig

Question Video camera with 4.5.0.37 - 06-19-2008, 12:07 PM

Installed 4.5.0.37 on my 8310 yesterday. Looks good so far with one exception. I cant seem to get the video camera to work. When it opens, I can get it to start recording by clicking the trackball, but it only shows a black screen, and then if I try clicking anything else it stops and the whole phone freezes, and requires a battery pull. It has also affected the regular camera, which prior to the upgrade took pictures wihtout a problem, but now only shows a black screen and also requires a battery pull. As an fyi I did add a 4GB microsd card. Any ideas? Thanks.

No voicemail on TMo, that's correct. I had the same issue so I looked at the alternatives.

YouMail - Cell Phone Voice Mail with Personalized Greetings and Online Retrieval

I tried this out and am now a fan of this service. It's great. I get an email that has the voicemail transcribed in it as well as a .wav attachment of the voicemail. I can also call in to my voicemail, just as I would have before. Even when the voicemail issue is fixed, I'm sticking with this service.

Default Video Issue - 06-19-2008, 01:41 PM

When I record video, for some reason it shows 0KB as the size, and does not save it to the memory card. Anybody else experiencing this? Any suggestions? Of course I have done the battery pull etc. Thanks!

Well well, the "missing songs" bug is still here in 4.5

After a soft reset, when i enter the media player for the first time, i see a note at the bottom screen saying it's searching for music (must be building a tags database, new message that didn't show on 4.2).
When it's done (very long btw), i go into the music section, and there i don't find every albums i have on my memory card..
A big pain in the ass.

Is someone else having this problem? I assume it shows up only when you have a lot of music in your card (i have about 4 GB).

I also noticed that after each soft reset, available albums in the music section are not the same, it seems completely random.

Is there a way to officialy report this bug?

Just dont understand how that is possible......can anybody shed some light?

Well I tried downgrading back to 4.2.2 to see if I could get my regular camera working again (since it was working right before I tried upgrading to 4.5.0.37) and after downgrading it still doesnt work - when I click on camera i just get a black screen, clicking on any key or button does absolutely nothing now, and requires a battery pull to start over. Any ideas or help would really be appreciated.

I had 4.5.0.18 earlier and now use 4.5.0.42.

In both, the Media Player is superb! I've had zero issues and I have a nearly full 8GB Sandisk microSDHC. Scanning is pretty quick too... as is searching for a song/artist/album too.

The problems you describe were true with a 4gb card on 4.2.2.184 as well as a 6gb card on any 4.3.x.x when I tried a friend's 8130.

Strange... which OS version do you have? All of my songs are MP3s and are organized in the Blackberry/Music folder as follows:

Artist name/Album Name/songs 1-n ...

John - Thanks for the pointer.

This is a nice service, works very well. Right now it is "free" but it is likely to see either a charge or advertising I would guess in the near future...

Try using JL_CMDR to wipe your device, then reload 4.2.2

I have installed it, and i feel my blackberry snappy, it faster web browsing. I dont know if its because im on Vodafone Spain. But since 4.5.0.18, i feel my device responsive. I use google sync, and now works very well. No more slow network connections of falling out of GPRS to gprs when in intensive use.

The card is a 8GB Sandisk (not bought on ebay, not a fake).
The only difference i see is my music collection is in AAC HEv2 (M4A files).
I use the OS from this post (4.5.0.52).
Scanning after a soft reset is very very long like 5 minutes.

What i don't understand is that it doesn't skip the same albums for each scan!
I can see all the albums (same folders structure than you) in the explorer view though, and can listen to them.

But not from the main music section, and that's really annoying, critical for me, because i bought a blackberry (and this one particularly) to use a music player.

I feel for you, man. This was soooo annoying prior to 4.5.0.x ... The only real difference I see is the AAC files. Could be the issue (not a lot of folks are using those on BBs) but the symtoms sound just too identical to the pre-4.5 releases for comfort, though?

Did a clean wipe, Installed it with modfications, thanks to john clark and everything seems to be working just fine. The html browsing and video camera are wonderful!!! As someone mentioned before, the software does feel more responsive.

When it's done (very long btw), i go into the music section, and there i don't find every albums i have on my memory card..
A big pain in the ass.

Is someone else having this problem? I assume it shows up only when you have a lot of music in your card (i have about 4 GB).

I also noticed that after each soft reset, available albums in the music section are not the same, it seems completely random.

Is there a way to officialy report this bug?
I would compare the tags for your missing songs with the tags of the ones that are there. Bad tags will cause them to not show up.

successfully installed, no drawbacks - only positive feedback from my side. glad I did it, it works great. only issue I have is with the theme, I'm on Precision Zen but it has top strip from the default Vodafone theme.

With the chance of sounding ignorant, and please forgive me if I am wrong, but is it possible that you meant "John Clark"?


As Always...

Happy Berrying!

Tags are good.
And from one soft reset to another (and from one music scan to another), songs retrieved in the database are not the same!!
Really wierd, like if blackberry scanned randomly, and didn't go to the end of the scan.

Scan takes more than 5 minutes. Is it normal?

I'll trty to recompress my flac collection to mp3 instead of aac ( :( ) and see what happens.

bikedogrun, what caracteristics are your mp3s? (bitrate type and rate).

5 minute scans are "NOT" normal, mine (w/ 7.4GB of MP3s) are 1-2 minutes maximum.

My MP3s are 128kbps @ 44.1 khz / stereo (2 channels).

Good luck with this...

Anyone notice that "H" while in your inbox no longer shows you your hidden messages. Any fix or suggestions to fix this?
