It makes perfect sense.

The sound quality for the new OS is much, much better than the older 4.2...and if you think it's sounds great on the loudspeaker, wait till you hear it on the earphones, with equalizers and all...

Really, really good for a smartphone..

You could install with the 4.3 DM. I found the roxio was much more stable in the 4.3.
I also have 2 other OS on my computer. I have had no problem putting a new system on with out having to remove it.
I just don't understand why I am not authorized to view the page from my computer. This is strange never had that problem. My security settings have not changed. Windows XP home on gateway computer

wow this is much nicer. is there anyway to remove the constant "scrolling" noise u get from the cursor in the browser? thats annoying.

The hidden icons reappearing seems to be connected to the BB Dimension Today Plus theme. When using the "regular" Dimension Today, they stay hidden.

But the ALT Enter still doesn't lock the keyboard.

alt enter for me brings up a list of languages

what do the numbers stand for in the various 4.5 versions? that is re the official versions which number (4.5.0.62 or 4.5.0.44) is the one we look to for the most recent?

when i upgraded to the .037 version of this OS, Google Maps and Blackberry Maps were both screwy. Google wouldn't work at all and the icon for Blackberry Maps disappeared. it didn't matter how many times i uninstalled and installed Blackberry Maps, the icon was never shown. can anyone verify that either or both of these apps wok as advertised on the latest build?

Everytime i try and download it starts off fine and then slows down and just stops downloading. guess i will have to give it a few days to calm down...

Not all carriers support BlackBerry Maps. If your carrier doesn't support it then you won't get a service book for it. If you don't get a service book for it you won't get an icon for it. Google Maps has issues with BES and Application Control Policies.

Use this link to get an older version of BBMaps on your device.

quick question...what happens if you forget to delete the vendor file?

[John Clark]

It will brick the device.


No, seriously...the OS just won't load. If the OS loads then you have nothing to worry about.

[RaQHoliday]

I'll be trying this one tonight.

[owen824]

cool, as i forgot to delete it as i was in hurry. was going to meeting so kicked it off before i went. came back and all was done and everything seems to be working. hopefully it will solve the issue of the browser not working that i had with .37.

[John Clark]

The vendor.xml file in many of these betas is empty so deleting it isn't always required. However, it doesn't hurt.

just choose to disable the language menu thingie, it should lock the phone.

although i have noticed that with the zen theme, it will not lock with alt-enter unless you are in the main screen and not the zen 5 icon part... strange but oh well.

Yep, just tested. Turned off the Language selector, went back out to the main (5 icon) screen of my zen theme, pressed ALT + Enter and it opened the application that was highlighted. Pressed menu to go to the screen with all the apps and tried again and it locked.

They're different builds -- just like software on your PC. Official releases are whatever versions the carriers decide to release.

Oops! Ignore that. I misread. John Clark has the correct answer below...

It's a CYA clause. The assumption is that the latest DM will give you the least amount of grief. Of course, the assumption is that the latest DM isn't buggy (not always the case). I'd say just don't attempt an OS update with a version of DM that's too many iterations old.
