OMG! I may never put this thing down again. I LOVE the browser, the media player, the whole schmeel! The GUI ROCKS... And it is snappier than any of the others.

Did I mention the Browser?

[ajdaniel]

are you referring to the 8310 in general or the beta os?

[justajason]

Both! Its like the keys to my truck, they would have to pry it from my cold dead hands!!!

on 4.5 in general roblock does not work, on 4.5.0.10 and 37 empower HTML does not work. Oh yeah, UMA does not work on my 8320 using 4.5.0.37 but it works with 18

unfortunately i also discovered that this feature is finicky and i have numerous photos with this feature enabled that have no gps data. GPS in general in OS 4.5 seems to be slower to update and refresh than other os's.

So far the only outside app that is giving me problems is Opera Mini 4.1. It still asks for permission every time I try to go anywhere upon loading. After that first question it won't ask again until I close the program and reload it later. Other than that it works perfectly so just a minor annoyance really.

Google maps didn't work until I grabbed 2.1 and now it's fine. Yahoo Messenger works fine. Facebook never seems to show up when changing OSs even though it appears in the Applications list. A simple uninstall/install fixes that thought and it works fine. Only other things I have are some games and they work fine too.

Empower was the first thing to go...
However, not sweating it, since html email will be supported on 4.5 once the BIS is upgraded (I would predict simultaneously w/launch of the 4.5)

Only other app I have had issues with regarding 4.5 is iTookThisOnMyPhone, which is pretty new anyway.

FYI for people having issues w/Opera Mini, there is a new build of 4.1 you should download that goes through BIS as the APN. No issues w/4.5, works great in both .10 and .37

Have 4.5.0.46 loaded on my TMo 8320. The only problem I've run into is with BBAlerts. For some reason, it will not adhere to the schedule I've defined for notifications.

In BBAlerts, you are able to define weekday and weekend schedules used for alerting. Each of those schedules has an option box for the LED to "alert always". Even though I have these boxes unchecked, BBAlerts is still alerting 24 hours a day via LED according to the colors I have defined for each type of alert (missed e-mails, phone calls, etc.).

Has anyone else encountered this? Does anyone know how I can contact the publisher of the BBAlerts application just to let them know what I've encountered? I don't expect them to fix this right now and fully understand I'm using a beta, but I just want to make them aware of the issue in case this turns out to be an incompatibility issue with the 4.5.x OS.

I've got 4.5.0.42 loaded on my 8300 (unlocked, running on T-Mobile). Only thing not working is the well-known WMI bug. Aside from that, everything is running nicely. 3rd party apps I typically use include:
- Viigo (tango beta right now)
- MaraTick
- BBWeather
- JiveTalk
- Opera Mini
- LiveSearch
- Google Maps
...and the Docs To Go add-in that comes with 4.5 (updated OTA)

Everything on the list is working perfectly it seems.

OH -- the reason I started to post in the first place! Google Sync: seems to work *beautifully* with .42, except perhaps it's not reporting that it works? -- the update was almost silly fast: I made a change in my web calendar, then clicked the Google sync icon in the BB. It reported that the last sync had been about 10 mins ago, so I forced an immediate sync. After a couple of seconds it reported that there was nothing to sync. So I opened my BB calendar, and amazingly enough, the new calendar item from the web calendar was there already! I will experiment more, but it seems to working just fine...

Just went from 4.2 to .37 with no gliches.. Google Maps works.. BBlight works.. Have not tried Google Sync though.
