Ok! Thanks John!

Reading this thread ain't exactly got me jumping up and down to install this beta version either. I'm not seeing why you have to format your SD card to get it to work (I never had to with any other OS update) or wipe the Pearl either. There's no reason that should be needed, the OS update should take care of that stuff automatically. I guess that's why it's a beta, so people can mess with it and see what happens. I'll wait!

I will also wait, anyways there's no beta for the 8120 :(

[stlouie65]

I will give that a try. Thanks

It's just curiosity to see new features, new improvements and, same way, bugs and problems. I can say it is better than 4.2.

After two days over the correct setup of the OS i can say 4.5.0.18 works well on my 8100 (white, TIM ITALY carrier). No one of the issues signaled above. i'm waiting for a new 8310 and i'll install 4.5.0.18 too.

Ciao,
Alex

Hi folks,

Just wanted to say thanks for all your labor and patience! I am GEEKED at the features popping up in this post and am going to be keeping close tabs on testing progress from here on out.

[Enuff_Said]

4.5 works great!

I just installed 4.5.0.10 last night and its a great improvement to the bug fixes which were in 4.3... However only one problem I'm having at the moment is when I go to the media player and try to open anything I can see anything from my memory card. At the bottom of the player is shows "Scanning..." with the status bar which DOES NOT complete! Because of this I'm unable to play any mp3's or videos. Some strange reason I can see my "pictures" from the memory card though... I have a 2gb memory which has about 150mb free which I dont think would cause the problem. Any ideas?

not bad, i did it last night, too about 1 hour 20 minutes. my color pearl app isn't working, i think i have to uninstall and reinstall is.
but when you do a battery pull it takes like 5 minutes for it to turn on.
media player is slow, but i think it just needs some getting used to
i love it
if anyone is skeptical, just download it if you have like 1.5 hours. it is well worth it

and, what happened to the old stock backgrounds, i miss them
i love the l theme, was that the only one that i was supposed to get?

[isarib]

My problem is fixed!!! i just installed 4.5.0.18! and it seems to fix my problem with the media player scanning. Untill then I'll keep poking around and see what needs fixing...

Got 4.5.0.18 on my 8100 and so far I like it. I had the Scanning problem with the Media manager too. I was having a problem with Google Maps (2.0.3) not loading anything at all and found out 2.1 was out, It still seems spotty sometimes, but the soft reset it forced after installing seemed to fix the Scanning problem.

My biggest gripe right now is in the SMS menu. The fact that every message is marked with the Reply Requested red exclamation mark is very annoying. Also, the times of the messages are being cut off even though there is plenty of room in the line. It doesn't matter if I select 1 or 2 lines for each message, it will list the name and then tons of space then 5:2 instead of 5:25p or whatever.

Also Opera Mini asks for permission every single time even though I've set all its permissions to Allow. That's getting a bit old too.

I like the new style in general and the Media Player upgrades. Been pretty stable for me so far although it seems to take much longer to start up. Being able to add folders to the menu is fantastic. I like the new call screen too.

Seems to be stable for me too. i also get that reply requested in the sms and is anoying now that you mentioned it. but i can live with it and not going back to 4.2
