I'm on T-Mobile US, using an 8800 and upgrading to this release (Vodafone 101). Do I use the edited BlackBerry.alx and LBS.alx from T-Mobile or Vodafone?

[John Clark]

Use the .alx that matches your OS version number under the correct BB model number (pay little attention to the carrier name.)

Just curious, what exactly does the Vendor.xml file do?

Im on T-Mobile,

I think there is a conflict with this software and the T-Mobile network because my audio drops out regularly to where people cant hear me after a long conversation for about 10-20 seconds.

This was never the case on the older OS I was using,

Anyone else experiencing this?

The vendor.xml file simply tells Desktop Manager to only load that carrier's OS to that carrier's model BB. Nothing is lost by removing it.

Not a bit. My reception and call quality are great.

I recently upgraded to the BB 8800 from ATT and was told about this forum from the sales agent. If I upgrade the OS as described above do I download all three downloads and install or do I download and install indvidually? Thanks for your help.

well after a few days with this OS and a couple of re-installs (screen balnks here and there for a second and SMS takes time to go, web is slower and getting errors) now I think I am going to try the AT&T release and see what happens with that one.

Did the AT&T OS fix the problems you were having?

So far the at&t version has been holding good. But telenav stoped working and I had to download the newer version. Still having a bit of an issue when it comes to media net and browser connection as it is taking a long time (side by side on another BB, theother wored and mine came back no connection).

I had the same problem with slower load speeds. I kinda just attribute it to the large number of iPhone ppl using up the EDGE bandwidth. AT&T programmed their towers to give priority to iPhone users who loading web content etc ...

I am experiencing this exact problem. It's super obnoxious. A google search (that took me to pinstack) leads me to believe that it is a software issue with some of these versions, but depending on what region you're in (I'm in Denver), you might not run into it. I'm going to load the old T-mobile OS back on when I get home from work, hopefully it will go away.

are you able to upgrade OTA?

no, you must download the file onto your computer and install it with the desktop manager.

Color me skeptical on that. Is that just a rumor you heard, or can you point to some solid evidence and statements to that effect somewhere? I'm generally doubting that's true, but **if** it is, and the Apple fanboys with iPhones are really being given preference over long-term AT&T-->Cingular-->AT&T customers, then I'd sure like to know it to raise holy hell with them. FWIW, I haven't seen any noticable differences in speed before/after the iPhone release date.
