Hey everybody,

I am getting frustrated here to the point that I almost threw my BB so I am seeking an intervention of sorts.

I love my BB, but the camera is pretty useless for me because of the encrypted pictures. I searched this forum and googled around a bit and disabling media protection is supposed to stop pics from being saved as .jpg.rem. Unfortunately, it doesn't for me. I also tried to disable content compression, no dice. I spent 10 minutes going through every context menu and option on the device and I cannot figure out how to disable the encryption for the photos.

I have saved them to the device and to the media card. I have done soft and hard reboots. I use Linux, so the desktop software is a last resort (it requires using my fiance's Vista (shudder) laptop). I need the camera because I am taking pictures of the lab displays for school and I had to email (one at a damn time) 32 pictures to myself yesterday. It was a long, painstaking process that I do not want to repeat.

Am I missing something here? I am going to upgrade the OS because I am beginning to think there is a bug either in my thinking or in the os version I am running.

Software = 4.6.0.244
Platform = 4.0.0.203

Thanks

Options > Memory > Encryption Mode, set to OFF.

There you go.

In options>Memory I have the option "Encryption Mode" set to None. That is how it has always been. It is under the Media card support option. The other available options are Device, security password and a combination of both. I tried setting it to password, then back again, just to make sure. no dice.

This is indeed a known bug in that OS version.
Upgrade to .282

Thanks Penguin! I lost a few hours of my life trying to fix a bug! Where can I find known bugs for BB OS? I poked around the RIM site, they don't seem like the sharing type when it comes to much in the way of, well, anything.

thanks sanders my problem has been solved
