Hi all,

I'm new on here and have had a 8300 for 2 years and just upgraded to a 8900

I have just had to send one back due to a red cross and my new one is causing no end of problems, i installed a theme called Dark Cerulean - Today / Bottom Zen, its worked fine for the past few days but i reset the phone yesterday ALT/SHIFT/DEL and now i get a java error, my phone starts with a white screen, goes to my last dialled list then connects to the browser then all my icons are reset and some missing.

I looked at the permissions and they have all changed some say default, deny and allow and some are in bold. I feel this is the problem??

Can anybody please help, after 2 years of no trouble (8300) to this (8900)

Many thanks and sorry for taking so long to join.

TRy doing a physical battery pull.

Those in BOLD means they have permissions that are different than the default permissions.

Hi thanks for the advice, i tryed this and still did not work.

Then i started getting UNCAUGHT EXCEPTION JAVA.LANG.NULLPOINTEREXCEPTION

I wiped the handset (options/security/general settings/wipe handheld)last night of all messages ect and kept the third party apps and it seems to work fine, could messages or contacts of caused this in the transfer from the old BB?

Thanks

Paul

Might be something not fully compatible with the 8900. Is the theme you are using 8900 compatible as well?

Yes it works fine on my other handset

I bet it's the theme. Some 3rd party themes cause it to freeze after a battery pull, esp if there are unopened messages. I just had one freeze my 8900 so I deleted it (I have 15 themes). It did work after a battery pull, but not worth the hassle to me. Move on.

I think you hit the nail on the head, about an hour before your reply i started to delete messages over 4500 emails and it sprung back to life, i then restored my messages from back up and it went off again after a battery pull. So the next thing i tried was marking all messages as read, it worked again.

Well done i think you cracked it, the only problem is i paid for this theme

I also need to have a today theme with messages and calender as i miss them from the 8300.

Thanks all for the help, don't tell my network operators as i have a new one coming tomorrow

Cheers
