After the update everything works fine except that I have very low memory. Down to 4MB at times. So I removed the stock wallpaper and folder images again and also deleted some other 3rd party apps I used, such as the Opera Mini browser, Handango, etc.

I just did another battery pull and now I'm at 13357756 Bytes. Before the pull I was at around 12MB.

Right now I have the following applications installed:

AIM 2.0.46
AvantGo 1.0.28
BlackBerry 4.5.0 Core Applications 4.5.0
BlackBerry 4.5.0 System Software 4.5.0
BlackBerry Attachment Service 4.5.0
BlackBerry Maps 4.5.0
BlackBerry Messenger 4.5.0
BrickBreaker 4.5.0
Browser 4.5.0
Documents To Go 1.002.016
Email Setup Application 4.5.0
Facebook 1.2.0
Google Talk 2.0.46
Help 4.5.0
ICQ 2.0.46
MemoPad 4.5.0
Password Keeper 4.5.0
Phone 4.5.0
Sudoku 1.0.10
Tasks 4.5.0
Windows Live Messenger 2.0.46
Yahoo! Messenger 2.0.46

Any idea why my memory is so low?

Does this OS support Chinese Character?

Wirelessly posted (BB 11020)

This release of it does not support Chinese. Maybe one of the Asian carriers has a release of this version that includes Chinese. You'll have to check around on their OS download sites.

Yeah if u look at my post it says i deleted it. Nothing happens.

Your PC is on Vista? Excuse me if you also stated this in your post.

I know of at least two others who are having a struggle getting OS 4.5 recognized to install, who are using Vista. I don't know the correlation, but there is something going on not popping up the "new OS install" functions.

I'm currently having the same problem installing 4.5

Running windows XP

Nope im using XP

it is strange tho, after i delete the Vendor file I went back to double check that it was gone and all the menus disappeared, the RIM folder goes straight to a Blackberry Folder instead of what usually came after clicking the RIM folder.

So is the OS installed or not?

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Shared\Loader Files
In this folder should be a folder corresponding to the version of software you've installed

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader

That is where the .xml is located

you can't find it anywhere else... it started working after i deleted it from there.


Oh im retarded btw.

thanks for the help Jsaunders

nope not installed, i dont really understand what the deal is, im very computer savvy and have installed many upgrades before. I think I will just wait untill TMO official release. I can be patient. Thanks ne ways JS.

Double-check that you have the most recent BB Desktop Manager

(Im currently at my cubicle at work as an I.T. guy, and this stuff still gave me a problem)

Hey you learn something new everyday in this industry.

yeah i had 4.5 downloaded

I'd be curious if you uninstall DM4.5 and load DM4.3 what happens... anyone willing to try, that is having issues loading the upgrades, when all else has failed.

I have been using this release for about a week, and almost everything is working great. I can't get google maps to work though. It starts to load and the progress bar gets to 90%, then it asks for permission to access info that may identify my location. Then it hangs and I get this error: "Uncaught exception: Application GoogleMaps(262) is not responding; process terminated."

I have removed all of the google apps and reloaded them. Then I tried removing only google maps and reloading it. Same problem every time. Any ideas?

Thank you.

I installed right over 4.2 (shutter) .. yes that old.

HUGE IMPROVEMENTS in the OS .. seriously I dont' know why I didn't jump on this sooner!

thanks!

grinella, I don't have a solution for you (sorry, i'll leave that to the experts on here), but just wanted to let you know I was able to successfully DL Google Maps and get it to load. I'm on Tmo as well.... so it "should" work for you as well.

Did you optimize your BB memory and maybe alter something you shouldn't have?

The Google Maps issue is a known issue if you are on a BES AND have an Application Control Policy on your account on the BES. There is no workaround as of yet without removing you from the Application Control Policy.

You can download and install an older version of Google Maps:
