When you plug the device in to the PC and run Desktop Manager/Application Loader just make the box is checked for it.

THANK YOU!!! That worked perfectly. I knew it had to be a simple fix that I was somehow missing
The attachments are so easy to read with this new OS. Thanks again!

Looks like they finally arrived at the ball, version 4.2.1.195 from Sprint was on their download site today. I successfully upgraded one of our 8703e units already and am beginning to roll this out.

yep, this works great, installed it yesterday and it fixes all of the reboot issues I've had with the other CDMA v4.2 releases. FTW!

Copy/Paste functions in internet fields, for example copying email addresses, has disappeared w/latest OS. Used to be able to click in field w/trackwheel to copy/paste with previos OS. Also my browser is now painfully slow. Anyone else experiencing same problems? Advice/Help much appreciated!

Anyone tried putting this on a VZW phone yet? The GPS still does not work on mine with the latest VZW OS on it.

Thanks!

And it never will. You have to purchase VZ Navigator. If you want GPS buy a Bluetooth puck.

Bummer... I was under the impressions that it was just disabled via software and the Sprint version might unlock the ability! :(

I did NOT have to do a BES reactivation! As long as you back up everything from the Desktop Manager BEFORE the actual upgrade.

I agree! I was having constant reboots daily and after installing this upgrade a week ago I've had none at all (knock on plastic!).

Even buying the VZ Navigator program will not make the GPS work with Verizon. I tried it as recently as 2 months ago, using OS 4.2.1. I wish it did as I would gladly pay the surcharge. Verizon only supports GPS on the Pearl, 81xx and 88xx. 73

Did anyone who had a problem with 4.2 and VZW get it resolved yet? I am having the same problem of not being able to call out. They are sending me a new phone but I don't have to much faith in that.

ive been in contact with garmin support, ive downgraded the nuvi to 2.8 from 3.0, that didnt help. went back to 3.0, that didnt help.

im stumped, and pissed ive spent so much time on this. :(

Hi leo95se,

Two options:

Run your Garmin Webupdater program again. Garmin recently released a Bluetooth update from 3.0 to 3.10. This fixes the speakerphone problem.

I had the same problem with my Garmin 660 and used this solution before the 3.10 update was available.

I was running version 3.0 (you can check your version by going to Settings -> System -> About on the Nuvi) -- I had success after downgrading to version 2.4.

It's a bit of a convoluted process, but here is the procedure I followed:

1. Download the old Nuvi BT firmware from the Garmin Italy website:

http://www.garmin.it/files/FileBluetooth.zip

2. Connect your Nuvi to your PC.

3. Go into the X:\Garmin\RemoteSW and look for a file called 006B055301.GCD (where X: is your Nuvi drive)

4. Back up that file to your computer, and delete it from the Nuvi.

5. Extract the file in the zip downloaded in step 1 to the X:\Garmin\RemoteSW directory

6. Disconnect your Nuvi from your computer, and let it reboot

7. Click on "View Map," then touch the "Speed" in the lower left corner.

8. You should have the "Dashboard" view up. Touch and hold the "Moving Average" box for ~15 seconds until the diagnostic screen appears.

9. Press the "next" button until you arrive at the "Bluetooth Status" screen (5-6 screens in)

10. Click "Updt PR" and then click "Yes"

11. Reboot the Nuvi, delete the existing bluetooth pairing, and attempt to re-pair with your BlackBerry.

Seems to work perfectly now -- please let me know if you have any questions. Good luck!

They never figured it out for me. Sent me a new phone, I tried the upgrade and it gave me the same problem.

Just tried the NEW 4.2 update, and I get the same problem.

Will make an outgoing call or two, but after that all calls simply stick on "Calling."
Turn off wireless, and turn it back on and you can make calls again.
Or power it off, then on again.

It's very frustrating because I like the new OS and VZW tech is useless. They simply try to 'program' it over the air.

Definitely worth the upgrade...now you can add pictures and custom ringtunes to individual callers, send pictures VIA email and bluetooth, etc.

I LOVE IT

I'm just still waiting on verizon to make the 8703e compatible with VZ Navigator... anyone have an update on this?

Had the same problem with the stupid battery meter on the home screen. I just switched the theme off Verizon to one of the BB Dimension themes. It shows full battery levels on those themes.

[wes himself]

Anyone tried this with a us cellular or bluegrass phone?

I'm about to. my bb is just my backup so if I mess it up its really no big I can just go back to the old OS np.

But yeah just wondering if anyone else has done this.

Wes.

Wes, if you follow the directions to delete the vendor.xml file, you will be fine.

It's wonderful, the added features are much appriciated, my only problem is that any mp3 ringers play completely, what I mean is that if I have a ringer set for SMS, when I get notification I can't stop it, on 4.1 as soon as I rotated the trackwheel the notification would stop this is the same for email and the bb messenger as well. I've tried switching themes, removing and reinstalling the battery to no avail. I've switched to standard ringers with a setting of 1 for now. The new features out weigh the ringer problem, but any suggestions would be appriciated

I have the same problem since upgrading to 4.2. I've uninstalled 4.2 and reinstalled it, tried differen't .mp3's, etc. Problem still exists. Any help would be great.
