FWIW, I haven't seen any noticable differences in speed before/after the iPhone release date.

I seriously highly doubt it. Especially coming from an iPhone to an 8800. I did not notice any speed difference in the Edge service.

I know it might be annoying, but any news for a 4.2.2.X version for the 8800?

Regards,
Ralf

Ok, now I'm confused. This sticky thread IS for the 4.2.1.101 for Vodafone and has been for a month.

**and it is the latest as of today.

Has anyone found anything better about this firmware? Have the latest AT&T and was wondering if it pays to upgrade to this one. Thanks

After I successfully made the Update of the OS, I am having problems with my Memory Card.

I have installed a 2 Gb SanDisk Card.

I have tried everything. I try to format it bud my BB says that A media card is not presently inserted in the device.

I insert the Memory Card in my PC and I could format it (using FAT).

CBR900RR · 08-13-2007, 01:16 PM

Do you have the card install before the OS upgrade?

If this is the 1st time the card install, check under OPTION>ADVANCE OPTIONS>MEDIA CARD>

Media card support>ON
Encryption mode>NONE
Mass storage mode support>ON
Auto enable mass storage mode when connected>YES

navaris · 08-13-2007, 03:45 PM

I did have the Card install before the OS upgraded.

When I restart the BB, It starts displaying Media Card Inserted, Media Card Extracted and Format the Media Card.

I have tried to format it but I don't see that option in the menu.

If I want to install the cingular OS instead of the Verifone (Already installed) how can I do that? I already download the Cingular OS and installed in my PC.

Wirelessly posted (BlackBerry8800/4.2.1 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1 VendorID/100)

Try format it in a PC with FAT32, that's how I did mine.

I installed this on my T-mobile 8800 to get the Verizon theme and had 5 dropped calls during one conversation and 3 more in the next!!!! I uninstalled and went back to T-mobile's OS and no more dropped calls. So much for the Verizon theme

I have this OS with the Verizon theme installed without any problems. It's been going strong for at least a month. My device is a Cingular 8800.

BTW, anyone else with an 8800 feel like they been forgotten and left behind with OS upgrades? RIM already has version 4.3 available for upcoming devices and not even 4.2.2 for the 8800?

Man, I hear ya about that 4.2.2 - I'm dyin' for it to come around for my 8800. The 8820 OS, sadly, will not work for 8800 devices (doesn't work like the trick for loading the 8703 or 8707 OS versions onto an 8700).

Chainring · 08-14-2007, 10:49 AM

I've since reverted back to the T-Mobile US release of the software for my 8800. This one would have many dropouts during calls and tethering via USB on XP would disconnect many times. Back to great call quality and no disconnects.

Anyone else experience the same, and if so, what software versions have you tried?

I just noticed that the Hong Kong carrier has ver 4.2.2.90 for the GSM 8800. Has anyone tried it yet? dualband.three.com.hk/website/template?pageid=d85300&lang=eng

That's a typo. It's really 4.2.1.90 not 4.2.2.90. Sorry......
