Has anyone tried .219 with the visual voicemail?

I've seen it posted, but don't want to install it yet.

Visual voicemail doesn't work yet, lack of service books.

I know visual voicemail doesn't work. I was just wondering if anyone here has tried .219

Hello all, is there anyone out there that has put 216 on a vodafone uk and can tell me if service books need to be resent, i remember i didnt have to do it for 190.
Cheers
Simon

I have just put 216 onto my unbranded Bold. Now whenever I turn on the phone from cold I get : Uncaught exception:net.rim.device.api.i18n.MissingResourceE xception
Any ideas why?
I also have 2 Blackberry Maps icons both say the same as above when selected and refuse to load.
I have tried resending the service books to no avail.

JW021979 · 01-20-2009, 03:11 PM

Ok. Now fixed it. Removed Blackberry maps completely then reinstalled. Got rid of all error messages and maps now working.

Go figure. However, if you are on BES, I would not upgrade the OS without knowing the IT people are available just in case you need to reactivate on the server.
I am upgrading to .216 now so I will see how this one goes.

By the way, I did need to have a new password generated for enterprise activation when going to .216. As noted in a previous post by another contributor, others on BES were automatically reactivated on the server when going to .216. As noted in my earlier post, I did not need reactivation on three previous OS updates. I do not know why some OS updates required reactivation for me and others did not.
My caution remains, if on BES you cannot predict if an OS upgrade will require reactivation, so only do it if you know your IT people are available to reactivate/generate a new password, if required.

how can I install the update with mac os x?

ifonline · 01-23-2009, 08:20 AM

You can't. Best bet is to find a Windows machine. And trust me when I say virtualization of Windows on a Mac is flakey at best when it comes to updating a BlackBerry.

eriknino · 01-23-2009, 01:15 PM

Install windows on a Mac with Bootcamp.
Blackberry Destop works fine then is my experience.

In fact, I have been using Fusion 2.0 with Windows XP on my iMac for several months, and the BB updates, OS installs, etc., all go without a hitch. I don't know about other virtualizations like Parallels or one that Microsoft may provide for limited use.

BlackBerry Desktop Manager just offered to install this on my unbranded, unlocked Bold. The first time it didn't work, and I got stuck with a 507. Second attempt it worked. I used Windows 2000 in a VMWare virtual machine on Linux, which probably didn't help.

ifonline · 01-24-2009, 07:18 AM

I have discovered that virtualization doesn't play well with DM. My suggestion from many, many hours of frustration: just use Windows to update the OS. Simple as that.

Tiger Chen · 01-24-2009, 10:27 AM

When I try to download the OS, the message come up:
We apologize but your IP comes from a country which does not permit downloading of our software. For further information or assistance, please contact...

I'm in China. Can somebody help to load somewhere I can download? Thanks a lot!!!

dwella · 01-24-2009, 11:08 AM

Google proxy servers and use that. It will change your ip

It's a drag, but the only version of Windows I have is Windows 2000, and Windows 2000 can't boot my PC because it's too recent. I'm not willing to throw a hundred bucks away on Vista just so I can upgrade my BlackBerry!

Back on topic, the 216 software seems way better. I was on 185 and it crashed every time I tried to show it to anybody. 216 hasn't crashed on me yet.
