Thanks for posting this. It is working fine on my Verizon 8703e. Battery meter seems to be working as it should. Really like the html functions.

I dropped my 8830 in the ocean a couple weeks ago so I found an 8703e for next to nothing on ebay to use until the tour came out and figured I'd update my os to 4.5. I am having the same battery meter issue as some other people are mentioning, as well as the Blackberry running extremely slow, despite having over 20mb of free memory. My 8830 and 8703e before this one never ran this slow, it even has a faster processor by about 100mhz than the 8830, so why is it going so slow? Messages have been cleared, no aftermarket apps, cleared changelog. Also, it seems that the people who have installed this on their Verizon bb's don't have the battery meter issue. Any way that removing the vendor.xml file and reinstalling this could fix that? I don't want to switch back to 4.2 and Sprint is really dragging their feet as far as the Tour goes so I'm waiting until its actually in the store to get one. Thanks

BB's with Verizon as the carrier have the same issues.

Default Battery Indicator works fine on Us Cellular

Battery indicator works just fine on the Us Cellular network.

I just wish there was a way to get sheets installed without having DATA service.

I updated from 4.2.1. to 4.5 and had the same battery meter problem. I could live with that. But my Bluetooth voice transmission failed. The data stream worked well as a tethered modem , but it lost voice to Motorola H15 and Garmin GPS's. I called Sprint BB support and was told by a supervisor after 30 minutes of research that in certain 8703e Sprint BB's 4.5 will not support Bluetooth voice. He said they have had 5 reports of that problem total in their data base. HUM. So I reloaded 4.5 thinking it was an install glitch. No luck still no voice. So I dropped back to 4.2.1 per Sprint and my Bluetooth & battery meter both work fine. Always something with upgrades. Just like MS updates repair two problems and create one new one....the old Texas 2 step. Otherwise I liked 4.5 interface etc. Guess I will wait for newer version and try again.

Default Reboot Loop

I upgraded my Sprint 8703e to 4.5, and it seemed to work ok, except as soon as I rebooted, it would just go into a reboot loop.

I wiped it a few times and 4.5 always installed, but then failed on a reboot.
I'm back on 4.2.119. Works rock solid, no reboot issues.

Too bad, I liked the new OS a lot, but oh well. I guess I'll have to upgrade my phone someday.

I am wondering the same thing? Anyone have an answer to this? I had my 8703e running 4.2.1 just fine then decided to upgrade to OS 4.5 (after being prompted by Blackberry Desktop Manager v5.0 to do so)

After the upgrade I was no longer able to make or receive telephone calls on MetroPCS. I had to take it to some local hacker and pay him $20 to flash it back to 4.2.1

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am a stupid noob.

There's a newer one for TATA Indicom


Apps: 4.5.0.191 (4.5.0.318)
Released Oct 28, 2010

I can't post links so google this "site:blackberry.com/Downloads/contactFormPreload.do v4.5.0.318"

Btw, does anyone have a 4.0 OS for this phone? So tired of this slow 4.2. I need the 4.0 os, which is afaik the one on this phone when it came from the factory.

Found this on the on the bb version tracker on blackberry dot diagelic dot com
