Message Filters No Longer Work After BBM 5.0.0.33
 

Hm... prior to upgrading BBM to 5.0.0.33 on my Bold running 4.6.0.297 (2nd Edition), I could go into the messages application and filter messages using shortcuts for saved searches, such as ALT-G for Gmail, or ALT-O for Outbox, ALT-P for Phone Records, etc.

Now, after installing the new BBM last night, the shortcuts no longer work. When I press ALT-G, for example, nothing happens. This is true for both preset search shortcuts and ones that I created myself.

I just did a little digging, and it seems that filtering doesn't work at all, whether accessed via shortcuts or via the search function. Dang.

Is anyone else experiencing this? I used the shortcuts often to help maintain my message application.

Interesting. Mine seem to work fine after the update.

I lost my message filters as well but a quick battery pull appears to have resolved the problem.

Yeah, as it turns out, all I needed to do was a battery pull to get everything working again. I know that a battery pull often fixes oddities such as this, but I didn't consider it necessary as the BlackBerry rebooted after installing BBM 5.

Oh well... live and learn as they say.

Thanks.
