I get this msg...

The blackberry desktop software does not have blackberry device software for the device that you have connected to the computer. Contact your wireless service provider or system admin

Your profile says you have an 8800. Do you have the 8320? Did you download and install the OS from the link in the first post of this thread?

I just picked one up today 8320, the phone's OS is the newest version; I didn't have to download it.

If you want it to show up in Desktop Manager/Application Loader you have to download it and install it to your PC.

never mind 27MB is the most I can get :S

One of us is misunderstanding. If you already cleaned the help files and languages why do you want to use JL_Cmder? JL_Cmder wipes the phone and you have to start over. Why are you wanting to wipe the phone?

adventure, excitement. oh wait, a Jedi needs not these things...

everything worked out fine thanks John, just took long time to reload... like 10+ mins

Wirelessly posted (BlackBerry8320/4.2.2 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1 VendorID/100)

Just downloaded it, at least that 10mb thing went away

All is well in the tmobile land for now

So in light of other OS threads, is anyone discovering any bugs in this firmware yet?

So far my only semi-complaint (not really a complaint) is that joining WiFi networks can be a little slow and every once in awhile doesn't work. I can turn off wifi and turn it back on then it associates faster sometimes. Every once in awhile the first launch of the BB browser stalls on wifi, but if you hit ESC then reload it it comes right up - I think this is pointing to slow association as well, or maybe it's dropping packets.

That and I always seem to associate at 48Mbps instead of 54Mbps with several access points. No idea what's up with that...

No other buggy behaviour though with the features I use, it's rocking like a champ.

any new themes in this os?

There are no new themes.

There can be only one T-Mobile ZEN, highlander.

What was the point of adding the new Blackberry.alx? I didn't get any new themes.

I have all the themes, now NEW ones though, it has been established there were no new themes with the OS.

Yeah, I deleted the vendor.alx I've done this process on two previous BB models without any problems. This time all I have is BB Dimension Icon, BB Dimension Today, BB Dimension Zen, and TMobile Zen (the themes that were originally on the BB). Which extra themes do you have after completing the process?

My app loader wasn't working, so I did this update according to the steps in this thread, my device updated, and my app loader started working fine... but my desktop software still says 4.2.2.14

Everything is working fine, but did I do something wrong?

The only discrepancy I can notice is this odd set of characters when synchronization begins... looks something like "?????.. Intellisync..?????"

That's correct. RIM provides several version numbers: the "package" version number (the whole bundle of software) is .333, the OS itself is another number, the "platform" is another number, and the desktop manager is yet another number. You've got the right one.

Hmmm...I don't see that when I sync...where does this display (PC? Dialog box? Where? or is it on your Blackberry?)

EDIT: oops - didn't realize which thread I was in. I may, in fact, be wrong about the DM version number - I have an 8300, and I'm not sure which DM you should have in this load of the 8320 OS. Hopefully somebody else will chime in. However, the concept remains: separate numbers for each component of the package.

You're fine, that is the right version number for the Desktop Software. The number 4.2.2.171 that you see in this thread title is on your 8230 itself, go to Options -> About and it should say "v4.2.2.171 (Platform 2.5.0.24)" - this is what everyone has right now.

Check your languages -- that's a way I've seen characters for which you don't have the fonts/etc. in Windows display as; you might have some language left on the device which you don't need. (check Input Support while you're there, they go together generally) Fire up the App Loader and it should be easy to spot any leftovers.

My new 8320 came from T-Mobile with v4.2.2.171 installed already. Cool.

Simply deleting the vendor.xml file won't give you the rest of the themes. You have to replace the BlackBerry.alx file too with the one from the first post in this thread. The extra themes were the O2 Today, O2 Zen, Rogers Zen, Telefonica Zen, both Vodafone Today (green and red), AT&T icon and Orange icon. I wish the BB Today Plus was available (with the correct date format) though.

Yes, I know. I forgot to mention that I did replace the vendor.alx with the modified Blackberry.alx . I've successfully done this on two previous BBs. This time I only have the themes that came with my Curve.

Dunno what to tell you. I did the same thing, deleted the Vendor and BlackBerry files and copied the edited BlackBerry file over and they were all there. Afterwards, I deleted some of the themes via the java folder along with the myfaves crap.

Hi John, et al.

I have tried on my 8320 curve both with and without homescreen dialing on to hit Alt and Enter to lock the keyboard and It is not working.


It seems to do something different. Most, if not all of the time tho, I go get 2 lines that says English - United States and English - United Kingdom.

Can someone help me or put me in the right direction as to 1. what this is and 2. how to lock the keyboard

thanks
Eric

Try holding down the "mute" button for a couple seconds-- that should give you the uber keylock

That works, thats a step in the right direction, but that's just the 'Standby' mode.

Isn't there a keylock shortcut that should work? any idea what I was getting with that English USA, etc?


thanks to all for reading and anyone who can help

Without Homescreen Dialing on, the magic key is 'k' to lock it. Bring up the menu and as you scroll over icons look for an underlined letter (like the 'A' in Address) and that's your hotkey; find the Keylock icon and you'll see that the K is underlined.

Out of curiosity, how is the keylock any better than standby mode? From my experience standby completely obsoletes it-- same protection from accidentally 'booty calling' someone without the annoying unlock key-sequence

Thanks it isnt the alt. It works. Thanks again so much. Just out of curiosity, I googled, found alt k in these forums, where would I have found that??

It's nice to know that too. Thanks. I just mainly wanted the lock and to know if I was doing anything wrong

thanks

Right here baby, the FAQ:

Home Screen Shortcuts - BlackBerryFAQ

BBFaq is owned/operated by the same person (team, really) that runs this website.

Keylock leaves the screen on - I slip my 8320 out of the sleeve an inch or two to check the time, missed calls or messages and stuff like that - when it detects you're un-holstering the backlight turns on (it's that little magnet in front of the case). In standby it's completely off and useless for quick looking.
