Instructions for installing on ANY carrier's 8310:

1. Make sure you have the latest version of Desktop Manager installed.

2. Download the above file to the PC then install it to the PC by running the file you downloaded.
3. Locate the vendor.xml file and delete it. It's located in c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader
4. Plug in BB and Open Desktop Manager. You should be prompted to upgrade.
The process takes about 45 minutes to an hour depending on how much data you have to backup and restore during the process. Once it's done loading the new OS it will reboot (it may do this twice during the entire process.) You will see a white screen with an hourglass for up to 20 minutes at a time while the DM says "waiting for initialization."
If you end up with a white screen with small icons and the number 507, simply connect to DM again and run application loader again and it should load the OS to the device.

Any benifit to upgrading from .44? Just installed that last night

Wirelessly posted (Breaking Ball)

Over the past week or so, I've noticed a decrease in battery life with .52.



I'm giving it a few more days before I consider going back to .48

Installing this one as we "speak"...

Guys,

What's the difference, assuming there is, between the 4.5.0.37 and this latest one.

Anyone tried both ?


Ray

Yes I have. I tried .37 and hated it. A big broswer glitch and could not post in forums from it. Also, got many java.lang errors while trying to run some different 3rd party apps. Using .52 is much better! Definately worth the upgrade.

Same here. I just installed 4.5.0.44 yesterday and don't really feel like doing all the steps to free up the memory and unlock all the themes again. I like having the newest official OS installed but if there isn't much of a difference in performance then I think I'll just stick with .44. Especially since I haven't had any problems with it and have about 24-28 MB free.

This is the most stable of all the 4.5 OS's released so far. I would recommend upgrading to this!

Hmm..I don't know....

I've been having the 4.5.0.37 OS for my 8310 for a couple of weeks now, and it's working just fine..! I had almost zero glitches uprading and using many of even the 3rd party apps ( I have eOffice, Nav4All ).

unless this new OS has something VERY special, I think I'll just stick to what I have...

Does this lastest OS have something better than the .37 ?


Ray

It fixes issues with entering text in the browser, sending voicenotes via BBMessenger and is overall a more polished release. Suit yourself.

OK, cool...thanks, JohnC

Well, as I said I have no issues with the .37, so I'll stay where I am.

At least for now....:smile:


Cheers
Ray

i think this will be this afternoons project at work

I'm assuming this still applies?

bearing in mind I have the latest device and desktop manager and was prompted for a back up this am I should be alright.

You should be.

Do i have to uninstall .44 from my laptop before installing this one for upgrade?

other than fixing some things are there any niceties in here?

no, keep it in case you want to go back.

you can delete it if you like and get it later if needed but it won't do any harm to have it
