Welcome to the forums.

What do you mean "carrier settings?" The 8830 is a CDMA device, all users that installed this OS are CDMA users.

I installed 4.5.0.127 on Monday (02/23) and seems to work pretty well. I had been running .101 for the past few months because I really wanted to get the HTML email functionality and Doc2Go but I experienced a lot of memory leak issues. With .127 it seems that memory is not leaking as much but not fixed completely.

Coincidentally, I got an email yesterday saying Sprint just released 4.2.2.365 that now includes HTML email, Docs2Go and busy search. I don't understand what it took so long for this to be officially released for the 8830. Why is it the redheaded stepchild? So will it be another couple years before 4.5 is certified for the 8830?

I have two small applications running in the background. But, they were also there when I was on OS 4.2 and the battery drain was no where near as significant as it is now. In fact, I had Viigo installed and running and that just exacerbated the problem even further, so I have since removed the app.

Follow the steps very close and make sure to check the box to perform a backup. It will then restore your data. Your settings should be restored as well.

Had to back out 4.50 on my 8830/Sprint..kept locking up; went back down to 4.2.2/Rel 385; only way to unfreeze it was to do a battery pull; anxious to see i9f others have same problem

I installed the 4.5.0.135 on my BB8830 over the TMO 4.5.0.177 (not realizing it is indicating a lower version) and my device is snappier in operation. I did have to resend my service books and reinstall my Documents2Go Premium again. That aside, I'm am pleased at how nicely the device is working. I'm checking the memory leak thing and will share later. Correction: The 4.5.0.177 wasn't a TMO OS it was a Bell OS I installed.

I had that problem, first with the .77 beta back in August and then last week on installing the .127.

It appears it may be related to the SD card and more particularly, MAYBE the music folders. Try erasing the thumbnail.dat files found in your music and maybe other folders. It may be an index created with 4.2 and screws up the 4.5 when it attempts to read/process those files. The other suggestion was to not have any subfolder in music but shove all of the mp3 files into the one music folder (I had them by composer). It may take a while for it to index once you reload but it may not actually be locked up.

Good luck

I guess us Verizon folks can't get this update, at least, not with .127 already installed. I get a prompt that I can DOWNGRADE.

I want the separate executable file.

I wonder how this direct download to the BB works when you attempt to sync with a second machine which does not have the new OS upgrade installed????

Thanx for the tips..I do have multiple folder layers in my photo section on my SD card..I'll hold off now upgrading as the last couple days have been pretty painful getting my BB back to useful..I did see some memory leak with 4.5 (while my BB was actually not locked uP) so I hope this gets fixed..

BTW, how does one get the html in emails? Do I have to enable this with a
browser option on my BB?

I believe if you go back a couple pages you can see where
jsconyers helped me out on this same matter.

[scubajwd]

Sorry, I glossed over those posts not getting their
full content; I've tried pushing the service books but with 4.22 I
doubt I'll have the email displayed like I see in my Ipod Touch

[jsconyers]

You need to upgrade your OS to 4.5. Without 4.5 you will NOT receive HTML email.

[high5theblind]

I tried to read every message thus far but will it work for Sprint? I just upgraded to .135 from .101.

Also, if anyone had the same as me are there any differences in the new OS?

(sorry for 2 questions)
