Maybe its a good thing my attempt of .37 failed, now i can try this one

Thanks guys

Just curious, what carrier's version is this? Changes from .37? Worth updating?

It's from A1.

Where is A1? The steak sauce country?

Nevertheless, this .44 release is MUCH better, more stable than the .37.

Browser issues with entering text is fixed, is the biggie. I think this release was the one also that got Youtube working on mine.

I downloaded the latest OS...like it very much. My question--I now have more sample ring tones, which show up in media. But when I want to use it as a "custom ring tone" in a contact in the address book, it does not show up. Under Media/ringtones, it shows under "All Ring Tones", but not under "Preloaded Ring Tones.

Thanks in advance for your expert advice.

The lastest beta is 4.5.0.52, so this .44 a final release from carriers?

.44 release is the latest release from a carrier yes. .37 was the previous release. Both of these are official, and nothing else that you find on the net is actually supposed to be out there yet (ie, Beta)

Was this download very slow for anyone else? I'm currently only downloading at 55KB/Sec... :(

*Patiently awaits download completion*

All RIM downloads are slow for some reason.

thanks guys

they certainly are im only getting 32kb/s

Mine went pretty quick; however, I was the first to download it. Being that it's coming from A1's server, it's probably overloaded depending on how many people are downloading it right now.

ooh ooh 45 seconds! Yay!

after all that wait i get setup initialization error guess i will try redownloading

anyone know what version BES i need to be running in order to view HTML emails?

Also, will my all my settings that are backed up on my BES load via enterprise activation without problems?

Same error as .37

Multiple computers, latest DM, steps followed EXACTLY. Even used a seperate data cable. Keep getting "Fatal error occured trying to update device" immediatly after it shuts off the radio.

You need BES 4.1.6 or a "hacked" 4.1.5.

darn. I'm running 4.1.3. Is 4.1.6 available for download from Blackberry. I only see a sp5 on thier site. What else will i be missing if i'm running 4.1.3 besides html emails?

Everyone happy with v4.5.0.44?????? Should i do it?

You will still get BIS emails in HTML. BES 4.1.5 is the latest release. 4.1.6 isnt out yet. Search the forums here and you will see that jibi has posted a way to enable HTML email processing on BES 4.1.5

Looks like the leaked beta is still newer than this official one.. Any users try RSA software on this version (which does work on the .52 beta)

Works smooth as silk for me, Thanks.

Only took 20 minutes to upgrade.

I just finished upgrading my Curve... I was on the .42 beta and the OPTIONS | ABOUT would not open... after this upgrade, everything so far was good til I modified the alx file taking out alot of what John recommends in the free up memory instructions he has posted.. Now the About is not opening again.. anyone else having this trouble? Is there something that needs to be there for this to open?

If you read the JCMOP thread (John Clark's Memory Optimization Process) you will note that in removing the VAD voice activated dialing, you won't be able to use Options > About.

Use ALT + rightSHIFT + H instead, or ALT EACE. Same difference, same screen.

LOL... I read but apparently didn't read enough! Thanks much!

Works like a charm on my phone. Wee!

Presently have 4.5.0.37; and am not having any significant problems to speak of. Can someone tell me if it's worth it to upgrade to this newer version, and what will be different?

thanks

What carrier is this from?

Appears to be Austrian Vodafone.

@ CSO -- scroll up to my post #6

Thanks alot

Darn, I just upgraded to .37 two days ago, and now this new one came out! Guess I'll upgrade again in a few days when I get some time!

Can anyone provide a link to this post, I have searched with no luck.

"John Clark's Memory Optimization Process"

Thanks.

Seriously??

It's in my signature....in red.

Sometimes that which you seek most is not hiding and lies just before you... Ancient Chinese proverb - Not - I just made that up.

Found the link, thanks.

And also installed 4.5 flawlessly so far.

The connection breaks in the middle of the download!

make sure that the file saize is correct after downloading

Could some one tell me how to check version of BES? If it's not 4.1.6, what would be the problem for me?

Also, does any of 4.5 support Chinese/Japanese/Korean?

Thanks!

thanks! Any adverse effects to enabling HTML email processing on the BES?

oh man! In the process of updating. I think its pretty much done but the BM says Task in Process, Connecting to Devise and i have the white screen & hour glass but its been like this for almost an hour. Any thoughts? I'll keep my fingers crossed....

Keep it, don't unplug yet. I have seen it take an hour and half if you have lots of messages, phone logs, etc.
