It should... ALT + RIGHT shift + Delete.

That has worked every release of 4.5 of which I have been privy.

Myself and one of my co-workers both have AT&T 8800's and it does not work for us and we are using the right shift key. Anyone else see this issue?

Works ok on my 8800 vodafone UK.

Not had any of the problems reported....

Ever since I upgraded to 4.5 that feature does not work any more.

Hello, I just updated last night, and everything went fine. I did not have the reboot problem that people are reporting and the installation of "Documents To Go" fixed my java exception issue when launching JiveTalk. I wish "Documents To Go" was checked by default!

However, I am seeing a problem with "Send Using" when replying to email. I cannot seem to change the sent from email address to one of my other emails. Clearly, it's a selectable option because a hilight box surrounds the "Send Using" field, but I cannot seem to switch the email - none of my other email addresses shows up as a selectable option when scrolling the wheel. Before this update, my other emails would show up in a drop down box.

I have resent my Service Books, and I have verified that I do receive emails to my other addresses. Interestingly, the Crossriver application "PD Reply As New" works and accomplishes this same functionality, but I do not want to use it because it has the annoying issue where it places the cursor at the very end of the email so that you have to scroll all the way back up to the top to change the "Send Using" field. How ironic and annoying is that?! Incidentally, is there a keyboard shortcut to quickly goto this field or at least the top of an email?

Does anyone else have this "Send Using" problem? Please help, I need this feature!

Thanks in advance,

Send Using is not changeable when replying to emails. I didn't think it was changeable in 4.2.1 either but it's been a long time since I've used it.

Edit: Actually, it's likely that you were on an older version of BIS (when that was available) and now your BIS version on Cingular has been updated to 2.5.

I actually tried the ALT+ Right Shift and Delete...and it did reboot, I think in the past it was maybe left shift?

I held the ALT Key, located on the left side of the keyboard, then I use my other finger to hold the right Shift (which is tthe one that has "CAP" labelled) and then finally the Del key on the right..all keys holding at the same time and it works like a charm! Thank you.

It's never been left shift.

Anyone know if the issue where SIM cards get's fried on T-Mobile systems has been fixed?

I am on T-Mobile.
had the .37 Version geflashed from the first day with no problems.

Tim

thankyou

When you say never do you mean never in 4.5 or never ever? I ask because I only learned this shortcut on this thread and it worked on my 8800 with 4.2 using left shift

thanks for the great info ... upgrading tomorrow AM during my 1 hour conf call

Great OS,
But I lost my BBmap !!!!
I cann't download it from the browser,
any idea ???

Unable to enter text into the Google search box.
The cursor shape switches between a pointer and a hand on Google's site but it will not accept any keystroke inputs??

Anyone?

TIA

There is a thread on the Beta You Than Me forum on how to get BBMap working again.

So I installed over my existing 4.2.1 and it went quite smoothly for the most part. Google Maps that was pre-installed looked like it was going to get stuck at 10%, but after Enterprise Activation completed it is working now (as is Live Search). I'm on Rogers so no problems with BBMaps. This is on BES with a few personal accounts also synched using Rogers BIS.

My only issue from the upgrade is that my calendar items are duplicated on the BB (thank god it didn't replicated back to Outlook/Exchange). Any ideas on the best way to remedy this? Can I do a re-synch of my BES calendar only?

Thanks all for the useful info on this thread and elsewhere.

Oh, and one other quick question ... I notice that 2007 DST Patch still shows both in app loader and in the settings page. Can I remove this safely? I'm assuming that this would be in the core OS update.

Known bug in .37. Hopefully very soon you will be able to upgrade to a newer version, OR in your browser options > General Properties > UNcheck Enable cursor in column view.

That did it!

Vielen Dank.

ok so I loaded this onto my 8800 this morning.
did the memory mods per john clark.
when I try to go to options>about. nothing happens. did I take out one thing too many, or is this a known issue?

TeritaM, if you read all of my post about memory optimization you'll see I mention that that happens when removing voice dialing. You can use alt + rt cap + h to get basically the same info.

^^cool beans. thanks!

yay, update for my backup :D

also do we have to be on a certain version of BES?

You don't need any certain BES version in order for OS 4.5 to work. However, BES mail doesn't support html email until BES v4.1.6

Just updated to 4.5 so far no problems!

I am running an AT&T 8800 and based in the US but currently in Australia. Roaming okay, VPN and sync'd fine and expect no issues, any one got a reason to suggest I'd have problems doing the upgrade while here?

yuhuuuuuuuuu thnx before Js

Well I took the plunge and uipgrade went well. Notice the moonscape pic is no longer there and sadly, I thought it was one of the better backgrounds. Anyone have it to send?

I loaded the new OS as well and I noticed that I am not able to open any attachments! Any suggestions are much appreciated!

Did you check the box in the application loader for "Blackberry Attachment Service?"

Let me check it right now, thanks for the suggestion. Mr Bean you're a gem, fantastic it works .... ! NOT!
It lets me see the attachments but when I click on them to open them there is no activity whatsoever!
I just noticed that after I did the update the DM gave me a message that an error had occured and that it had to be closed; any ideas?

UPDATE:

I was just looking over some files and I noticed that the file I downloaded which was supposedly 4.5.052 is actually this file

XXXXX 4.5.0_rel52_PL2.7.0.55 XXX.XX.X.X.XX

so now I am completely confused ...

I just looked in the handheld and it says v4.5.0.37 platform 2.7.0.55!

I still cannot get all attachments to open! Does anyone have any suggestions on where to look for a fix?

Every program seems to work fine!

I have made/received a few phone calls (long ones) without the calls dropping!

The trackball was not lighting up all the time, but after a battery that appears to work just fine!

Also, is there a check-list that could be used to verify that all the settings after the OS upgrade are correct for optimal function?

hi im a newbe in bb use, i was wondering if i can use this upgrade with a bb 8800 with movistar carrier and a locked phone!!!!!!!!!


tnx guys

Update went fine in my own Blackberry 8800. Much improved!!

A user I support was having issues with battery life on his 8800. After I did the normal fixes short of reloading the OS I figured since he was using whatever t-mobile put on it 9 months ago I figured I'd update to 4.5 on this one as well. Result was constant reboots. His use of the device is email checking and an occasional phone call so there's no odd applications loaded, MicroSD cards in use or anything of the sort. I reloaded it once with his original backups and once clean. Same issue.

I downgraded him to the latest OS that T-Mobile provides and the device is working fine. I'm not going to pursue it any farther with that unit considering his usage of it.

Very strange that there should be such a difference.

Does anyone know if it is possible to get my BB 8800 to play music through the auxiliary input jack in my car stereo system?

Yes. You'll need a 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter, though. You can get one at www.seidioonline.com

My wife uses her Pearl all the time in the car.

I have a 2.5 - 3.5 adapter that i got at Radio Shack and it still dosent work, i also have a usb input in the car stereo and the usb connection dosent work ether, do i need adapters specific for BB?

The adapters from Radio Shack don't work. Yes, you need one specifically for the BB. The link I posted above will get you one that works.

I just bought a Motorola T505 Bluetooth adapter for the car. Transmit audio and music to the car stereo. I'm very very pleased with it.
MOTOROKR T505 - Motorola

OK... so I must be totaly lost... maybe its cuz I'm a bit green on hacking my BB compared to some of you in the forum... but is there any chance on getting some help or suggestions?

I tried the upgrade, love the spell check, but other than the spell check it seems to have been a BIG waste of 4 hours and a massive amount of frustration.

according to horizonwirelessonline.com

apparently as of June 07, 2008:

8800 4.5.0.52 release 75

If I can't get my problems solved, how do I go back to my old version?
