Does anybody know what the SD sizes are supported now?

Not sure what they are officially but I've got a 2GB and 4GB that work great...both are Sandisk...

Check out the FAQ: What type and size Media Card can I use in my device? - BlackBerryFAQ

Not liking the new address book; 2 lines per contact. Would of been nice if they gave you the option to use 1 or 2 lines.

If you change the separator to Stripes, it's a little easier on the eyes.

Thanks for the info, my 6GB SD finally works! And having the option to have a Playlist, waited a while to have these little features work.

Do you have any ideas when version 4.5 will be available to use on an unlocked ATT 8820?

After a full day of being pleased with the upgrades in 4.5 I needed to use Telenav/AT&T Navigator and was surprised to learn that it is not supported on Vodafone v4.5 even though Telenav Navigator is available in Europe, go figure, now I guess I’ll have to wait until AT&T releases its version of 4.5. Anybody got any suggestions?

Pls help me.

I used ATT Nav on 4.5 without isuue.

Updated mine yesterday and no problems so far whatsoever. BBmaps works, sdcard works, browser works and the OS seems much faster. I really like the new media interface. FWIW - I am on the TMO network.

After I installed 4.5 it reloaded all of the apps including ATT Navigator, it wanted me to reregister, after entering my name and email address clicking the trackball it goes through the login process and returns a message reading "ATT Navigator Not Available" which is not true since its showing up in the applications log, any suggestions. Everythings else works perfectly.

Are there more default themes available for 4.5 like there was for 4.2? The 5 available on 4.5 are pretty underwhelming.

Overall it's a quality update, but I recommend the full wipe before installing it.

Update your Blackberry.alx file removing any reference to _vendorid=

...save and sync...there are quite a few nice ones. I like the Dimension L myself.

Oh ok, I'll do that when I get home, I actually have a blackberry.alx file that was already modified, I always just copied into the directory when I did 4.2 installs. I did that again with 4.5 thinking it would work, and I was dead wrong. Didn't load any themes at all anymore, I had to do it again from scratch. Thanks for the help.

Anybody figured out how to get BBMaps working on a ATT device with 4.5

Before I take the plunge, has Yahoo Messenger been observed to work with 4.5 yet? Or do I need to be the guinea pig? (Being on ATT I had to go find the service books myself in order to get it to work, so I am reluctant to mess with success at this point.)

I may as well ask about JiveTalk while I'm at it...

There's another thread or two in the Beta You Than Me forum that talk about BBMaps and Google Maps on 4.5.

JiveTalk works fine... don't know about the standalone apps as I delete them and load JiveTalk instead.

Thanks, I'll go take a look at Beta You Than Me. If JiveTalk works then I should be fine if Messenger doesn't, though I have become attached to Messenger (despite having paid for JiveTalk).

I got a couple of emails in the usual hypertext format this morning then suddenly found my emails coming through in wonderful Technicolor and if I do menu/download images, complete with images. I get a daily art newsletter which I was considering unsubscribing to as it was becoming a chore to read. Now it has become something to look forward to every morning; a new painting every day. Great! I'm on UK O2 and I guess they just updated their network. They may do a 4.5 release?

All carriers should be releasing 4.5 over time.

Took the plunge and updated my 8800 on ATT last week with 4gb san disk memory card
-Initial upgrade didn't work with my memory card - the constant rebooting problem
removing the SD card did help though and used it very briefly
-Decided to wipe clean the 8800 and start from scratch by using the JL_Cmdr tool
-Reinstall 4.5 and reloaded back up, and my third party software one by one, a clean
wipe and install is definitely the way to go, I agree with that statement
-The memory card is another story....I backed up and reformatted the card, empty not a problem with the 4.5 and 8800.
-A simple copy and paste...caused the rebooting problem, so I bite the bullet and send the pictures from a mac via bluetooth to my phone, one by one ( I did created the folders first though through the phone)
-I finished one folder through sending via bluetooth it took...
-Subsequently I had luck by copying an entire folder directly on the memory card..where I avoided to copy the .bat thumbnail file...

Not sure if I was lucky or if there was some sort of logic behind it...but it seems like starting with some manual picture downloading and then complete copy and paste of entire picture folders did work without the 8800 to reboot.

All in all, I am pleased, the OS seems to be faster..and the new media application is quite good...however, don't see it as an earth shattering evolution though, I guess once the new BIS software gets loaded in the US, maybe something else will surface!

No other issues to report...in the way I am using my phone from the previous OS; but also no real improvement to call quality, or so..either, hence, I am not sure if there was anything on that end that has been corrected or got better, at least I don't detect it.

I do see that the fonts and overall visibility of text has improved..web browser and email.

Thanks to the forum and all the helpful tips and tricks, it definitely help to educate myself upfront

Cheers,

DataViz has released Documents To Go Standard Edition 1.002

Welcome BlackBerry 8800 User!

Thanks for the tip - removing the memory card solved my problem, however I can't get the bluetooth to enable. It just hangs....... any ideas? Thanks

Worked fine for me, except that out of all my apps, JiveTalk does not work--everything else seems fine. I keep getting NullPointerException errors. I may need to delete and reinstall it. But otherwise I'm very happy thus far.

Wirelessly posted (BB 11020)

Did you install docs To Go? You need docs to go installed or some apps throw those errors, including jiveTalk

I was running the latest Rogers 8800 code before the upgrade. I'm noticing that my battery life is taking a hit with 4.5.

Anybody else noticing this?

Well, there you have it...is there a "D'oh!" smiley? :D

I'll report back once I get that done.

I've actually noticed an improvement...I can probably get 5-7 days if I'm not GPS'ing.

8800 on TMO

Stuck.

I have the berry icon/ pc icons showing on my handheld.

The DM screen shows "Task In Progress - Retrieving wirelessly delivered app modules-
Retrieving module "GoogleSync_40_en.cod"

Its been stuck there for about 50 mins.

Ideas?

TIA

That did it--everything running beautifully now. (Aside from my having destroyed another Seidio holster--I am hard on equipment, apparently.)

Anyone have any ideas how i can get Telenav/ATT Navigator or BB Maps to work on my 8800 since installing vodafone.de 4.5. Everything else works great.

Anyone tried 4.5 on a UK T-Mobile 8800? I only ask as the first post has a warning that it can fry the sim, but I dont know if that is T-Mobile US, UK or both.

Finally got it loaded and running but Jive Talk will not start up.

"java lang. Null Pointer Exception NUL" is the pop up error message.

Anyone?

Already asked and answered in this thread:

http://www.blackberryforums.com/gene...tml#post984880

Are there a lot of benefits on upgrading the software on the 8800 ? It looks to be somewhat difficult to do if you mess up on the upgrading process.

It looks like that the calendar reminder shows up on the home screen if I missed the event when the initial reminder pops up, after i upgraded to 4.5. Going back to the "old event" and removing or going into the actual event, plus changing any of the settings doesn't help to removed the missed calendar event count.

I am able to get the reminder removed by hardreset the unit...I remove the battery...is there another way to reset? There used to be the alt-num=del , but it doesn't work in 4.5 I believe..

My version of 4.5 did NOT have any Docs to Go application thus I have NO registration number thus I CANNOT even load the standard edition (or premium edition).

Anyone?

TIA

any news yet if it came out in cdma yet?

Hi - one thing I noticed about 4.5 is that the <ALT-CAP-DEL> does not do a soft reset to my Blackberry 8800 anymore. Is there a new three key stroke command for this?
