I have a question about the upgrade. I did everything successfully to complete the upgrade from bharti, but now instead of letting me use GPRS to send SMS messages it will only let me send them over GSM. Did we lose this option to use the data plan to send SMS? I always put GPRS, not GPRS preferer, not GSM.

Can anyone help me with this, or is it something that I will have to deal with using this new OS? Will this also affect my pooled messages when using Yahoo IM?

GPRS has never worked on mine....ever!

I'm running Telstra and mine is set on GPRS preferred.

There is a thread about it on the TMO network and how to use the settings for sending SMS messages over GPRS. Look up members "DavidE & Jibi" they have threads on the subject. It has worked for me as I only have a limited number of pooled messages and would easily go over due to heavy usage of Yahoo IM.

I'm not 100% sure on what I did to fix this, but it works as it should.

try going in the the section where you choose to display message count & / or application name.

disable it.
reboot the phone
enable it
reboot the phone
purge messages etc. (not necessarrily in that order)

sorry i don't have a step by step how to on this work around, but my unread message count is working properly, when I originally upgraded to Telstra, I had the negative count.. but it's all good now.

I still have this problem - have tried purging, rebooting, etc in numerous orders and nothing... Any ideas as to how you got rid of those annoying negative numbers?
Thx

I don't see that?! Where do you find that from?
