I can't take it any more. This error is the bane of my existence. I mean really why does it happen after every app install? I can't take it any more.

I have done everything from reinstalls, updates to 5.0, downgrades, OS Wipes, Factory Defaults...no matter what..when I am finally back in working mode..this effing error comes up.

I just installed GT Connect 4 just to try it out. After it installed I battery pulled, to play it safe. When it came back up, launched teh app, it asked about permissions and then I got an exception fault or whatever its called. I mean come on now. Is it a bad device? is it a problem with 8900 by TMobile?



Oh and please spare me the TMobile sucks responses. Its not that.

Right, this kind of worked, but not really.

- First off it tells you to do it without the battery and it wouldnt detect it that way, so i had to do it with the battery in.
- When I got to the apps page, I deselected the problem app and when i hit next it stated it was removing BOLT, Yahoo Fantasy Football and BBM5 - all of which I got through normal means
- I unchecked those and when it restarted BBM5 was not there. It showed in My World as INSTALLED. So I chose to remove it.

Guess what happened when I restarted. I dont think I have to tell you.

Its a piece of crap. Am I the only person that gets this error after almost every third app install (or removal sometimes)? I work in IT and can reload the OS and play around with Loader and DM all day, but I can't imagine a casual user having to deal with this all the time....

I'm very happy you work in IT. You should understand poorly written applications.

552 is a bad application. It's not a piece of crap. I don't see a lot of 552s here, do you? Either from casual users or people in IT. In fact, I'd never heard of this, so I did the homework for you looking it up on BlackBerry.com. I'd say it was very uncommon.

Reload the OS with NO applications. Load them one at a time.

I wasn't trying to prove anything by saying I work in IT; so please don't use a condescending tone with me, a loyal member of this community.

552 error happens to me, like I said, after most application installs...sometimes it happens sometimes it doesn't. It has happened and has not happened after BBM5 installs, Yahoo! Fantasy Football 09 installs, and Facebook installs. I have wiped the devices and installed with no apps, MANY TIMES. Eventually it happens again....

I am a frustrated user venting to a community of people who have teh same device as me and my or may not be experiencing the same issues, and hopefully finding a permanent solution.

I wasn't trying to be condescending. You brought up that you work in IT, like that makes a difference when you have a misbehaving application. Hint: It Doesn't.

I have the 8900. I, nor any one I know (and we have about 250 8900s last time I had someone check) has this problem.

Given the lack of other responses, and the lack of 552 hits when searching, I'd say it was not a common occurance.

What version of the 8900 code are you running?

well..sorry..but your response came off that way...forget it, water under the bridge.....

4.6.1.231..I am sticking with the Tmobile official. It also happened with the original OS that was shipped on the device but I can't remember what that was.

I also tried it with OS 5.0.0.190 and not only did it happen once, but I also had a problem with DM 5 and Lotus Notes 8, so I had to go back to a stable version.

You can see at least five posts regarding these and/or similar problems I have had under my profile. http://www.blackberryforums.com/subs...ewsubscription

I must have a bad device, I guess. I am holding out for either the Storm2 or The Bold 9700with Tmobile, maybe I should just stay away from installing any new apps til then.

bye tmobile and this 8900....i am getting the tuh tuh tuh tour2....when it comes out. hopefully before the holidays...

I've the same issue. Actually second time it happened, both after installing applications from blackberry.com First one was BBM 5 and now the Tivo app. It's almost like they hired a bunch of idiots to do their programming after letting go all the good ones due to bad economy.
Pisses me off that I have to spend 2 hours restoring OS and all my apps and settings. Would not expect that from RIM.
