I recently got a 8700c Blackberry, apparently the voice reception is quite bad. I also cannot play .wav files on my BB!..I have read many posts in this forum and all say that cingular has not realeased a hot fix or new os for BB 4.1! from what i have read that the new OS will fix the voice quality as well as allow .wav files to be played!..
any comments?

Where, per chance, did you read that the new OS would allow .wav files to be played?

[DuckWingDuck]

Search or read other posts?? Surely you jest NJBB!!!

Seriously - I had not heard that at all...
.wav files?

I think he meant you can use your 8700 while riding a "wav"e.

the base Cingular 4.1 release left out a lot of functionality that is found in other OS versions. if you mean play .wav files from a BES, no. if you mean otherwise, it should.

[kuttakamina]

BB Tech support had also mentioned that the new OS or hot fix would allow ".wav" files to be played! but i see none being released soon..

For what it's worth, I put 4.1.0.286 on my 8700c and can now use wav files as ringtones.

Hope this helps.

My version is 4.1.0.194 where did you get a hot fix from?

[NJBlackBerry]

It's not a hotfix. It's a new version of the handheld OS

Hong Kong CSL is 4.1.0.286

[kuttakamina]

Well, I have Cingular and i don't see 4.1.0.286 on the software download page for Cingular!! what if i download and install the OS from Hong Kong CSL any ramifications?

So this solves the voicemail in a .wav file problem.

[kuttakamina]

has anyone installed the 4.1.0.286 on cingular BB

[NJBlackBerry]

Only most of the people on this board.

There is a .300 or .310 somewhere around. I am running .286 from T-Mobile.

Cingular has been a bit behind in releasing updates. And T-Mobile, for obvious reasons, does not have a version posted.

[kuttakamina]

so will .286 or .300 or .310 installed on cingular BB work?

I too would like to know if this fixes the problem? Will try it out Monday if nobody knows.

[NJBlackBerry]

I believe it allows you to play WAV files as ringtones. I am not sure if it fixes the "voicemail WAV file" dilemma.

[junior1790]

do a search for "bharti" it is a newer os for your bb, should give you better functionality. Just be sure to follow seattles instructions to the letter...

[kuttakamina]

does it fix the voice mail .wav issue?

[kuttakamina]

ok, so no one has answered my question or is it an unspoken yes..can i install .286 or .300 or .310 or "Bharti" to fix .wav issue..
