Do I have to install each update leading up to 4.5.0.55 or can i update straight from 4.2 to this?

Just install this one. No need to install the others. Just follow the instructions in the first post.

Hi folks,

I've noticed that every time I activate the speaker phone the Blackberry does a hard reset within a few seconds. I've tested this a bunch of times - the phone works fine, then I activate the speaker phone and it crashes. Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks,
Ian

I have multiple times, tried reinstalling DM and redownloading the update. I still get an error once the installation begins. It turns off my signal and then proceeds to connect and automatically spits out "A fatal error has occurred while updating your device's software. Please try again." I'm not sure what else to try. Any suggestions? Just keep trying again?

Just upgraded everythings great and atleast 2mb more free memory very nice!

Ian, are you running this specific OS release and this happening?

Have you done a battery pull reboot?

Yes - this OS version (though I noticed crashes during phone calls in the last version too - I just didn't notice the link to the speaker phone, so didn't test it).

I didn't realize a hard reset was different from a battery pull. I jsut pulled the battery, waited 30 seconds, put it back in, and tested again. Same issue. I do have BSmart installed - seems to be running fine. I also have Viigo installed (the beta version). I have a MicroSD card that I formatted with the last version of 4.5.

Is anyone else seeing this behavior?

Thanks,
Ian

I just installed this version, and I have no idea how it happened but BES reactivated on its own without may knowingly doing anything.

I've been told 4.2.2 and higher will activate automatically but I've never experienced it myself. I always start it myself.

It's a relief that it worked with this version as my IT guy must think I'm nuts. The automatic part hadn't worked in the prior upgrades; hopefully they'll continue to do so with subsequent ones.

thanks

No, 4.5.0.81 is the bundle version. 4.5.0.55 is the app version. If you type alt + e a c e you'll see the bundle version listed.

You are up to date.

Im still getting that weird message about not having message services configured. I also get it when trying to reply to text or emails but not all the time. Im gonna do a wipe and reinstall. Other than that, this .55 is much quicker and the 3 MB i found have nothing to do with wallpapers, etc. i always remove those

Just realized that Empower works again with this OS. It didn't with 4.5.0.52. Somehow I thought Empower would need an new update to work again. Must have been a bug in prior OS.

Just testing .55 on wap forums and so far so good.

It'd be nice if a1.net actually responded.

Aaaaaaaand....it's back.

When upgrading the OS using a non-vendor release do you lose the programs that the vendor set the phone up with. For example: I am with ATT and have the ATT Navigator. If I use the A1 release, which appears to be the most recent, will I lose that program?

Not if you tell DM to restore all apps. It backups even OTA apps. This is by far the best of the releases. It's much more snappy than the prior ones.

Anybody having volume issues with media player? Volume sucks but its really bad on videos. I may be going back down to .52 tonight.

It does for me ........ 2 OS upgrades in about a week and both activated without any input from me at all.

So now I think that'll be #3 ............ maybe this weekend ......... to tired now.

still not working fully for me. As I've said before emails with attachments are essentially frozen, can't open the attachment and the menu key doesn't work. And also as I've said, Empower and BBSmart have told me the problems some of us are having is the result of OS4.5 compatability, and that they're coming out with upgrades soon.
