I wonder if that's what a condemned man says right before they drop the trap door. This thread is a hoot. The same guys who are thrilled to be "upgrading" on one page of this thread are begging for help to restore their original OS two or three pages later.

The rest of us were too thrilled to even post that we were thrilled. I'm extremely glad I upgraded. I tried .42, .44, .46, and .52. Only .46 caused problems. .37 I didn't touch because I was so late in hearing about it and there was that SIM card frying thing.

Mine's stable which is good because giving up some of the new features would be tough.

I plan to upgrade OS 4.5.0.52 this weekend. Is it safe to install? What are the risks?

[Praise8320]

Shona, please read my posts. For me just a waste, I will wait for a more stable program such as "the official release."

I love OS 4.5 but for some reason I cannot seem to use the wi-fi to surf the internet. I have a feeling its due to the fact I have a T-Mobile phone but I have it unlocked and running AT&T on it. Any ideas?

[monkeypaw]

Just to clarify, this thread including the first post is about 4.5.0.37. The package version happens to be 4.5.0.52 which is confusing. But in the Options > About screen it should show 4.5.0.37 if installed.

The .52 I've referred to is a different version talked about in the Beta You than Me forum.

The prior version 4.2.2.184 was in package 4.2.2.338 so was less confusing.

Took the risk and upgraded. The upgrade was smooth. Took about 30 mins. I'll post back after a couple hours of playing around with it

Yes, please let us know how is it going? Is Wifi working very well?

[kmccarthy]

Upgrade went great. Everything is working fine (videos, youtube, wi-fi, internet, text, phone). Glad I upgraded.

[dude33333]

any problems with UMA or wi-fi? i realllly want to upgrade to new OS.

Please everyone thats done the upgrade give us some feedback on how it went and any glitches you might have noticed. I'm pretty sure im gonna do it, anyone have reasons not to?

Dude...welcome to the forums.

Did you read the first post? Did you read the rest of this thread? It's full of the answers you are looking for.

[dude33333]

ok im doing this right now. lets cross our fingers

[dude33333]

yes ive read the thread(and many other threads about upgrading the OS), im looking for any/all input from everyone thats tried this. i understand theres a risk, but it appears that was mostly with earlier releases. do you think this is a bad idea for me?

i see you are tmo with a 8320, have you upgraded?

EDIT: my profile is wrong, i have an 8320 not 8330

Also, he already answered that question in this thread. Just letting you know

[dude33333]

thank you all for the quick responses, its good to see others with the upgraded OS on Tmo, it gives me hope for my dream of viewing youtube on my curve download is %43 complete

I am just a bit cautious and am making a mental list of OS upgrade failures and successes on this forum and the crackberry forum. so far, this release looks promising, especially since i dont do the myfaves thing. again, thanks!

No problem. This might be a glitch, but youtube only works for me when it is on Wi-Fi, which isnt a problem for me. I'm either at my house (with wi-fi) or at my college (with wi-fi).

[dude33333]

hmmm interesting, that shouldnt be a problem with me for the same reason, lol. although i thought i recalled people saying almost the opposite, about the internet only working well when disconnected from wi-fi. i think they may have been European users tho...

also, any luck with streaming internet radio?

My internet works fine, just the media player gives me an error when trying to load a video. But if I'm on wi-fi it plays the video just fine.
