Don't know about that one but now I can watch videos full screen I was not able to before.

Maybe it's my imagination but after my restore I gained 4mb of free space. I do softreset regularly and had just done one before the update.

daver42 · 01-30-2008, 03:20 PM

Hmm, after the update, Google Sync no longer works. When I try to sign in, it tells me that the certificate isn't trusted and then tries to access my keystore. I put in my keystore password and then it tells me that IT Policies restrict it from installing the certificate. Anyone else seen this?

** Update **
Everything's working fine now. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Google Sync, but it still gave me the error messages. Me being my OCD self, I wiped the handheld and reinstalled Google Sync, restored my data, etc. Things are looking good.

Its working fine for me. Whenever I update the OS, that is one of the things that requires being setup again, but its working fine.

BBCasual

When I updated, it changed my font back to the default. BBCasual 7? Man...to be young again and have good eyesight. I'm using BBCasual 9 and sometimes I have a hard time reading it.

Anyone who's upgraded had issues, prior to the upgrade, with dropping signal from 1XEV down to 1X or 1x? Since the upgrade, have you noticed an improvement?

I've got the 8130 on Sprint and like the device quite well, but I have to cycle the radio on an off multiple times a day to get EVDO. I've read a few posts where this is an issue for other and wanted to know if upgrading to the latest version of the OS was worth the effort.

Ominx · 01-30-2008, 08:00 PM

I live in a known fringe EVDO area, and still jump in and out of coverage. But all phones do that here, so I don't consider it an issue. The upgrade is fairly painless though, so I would give it a shot to see if it helps you.

oldspice · 01-31-2008, 12:16 AM

I just may have to try that out. I'm in a pretty consistent EVDO area and my 8830 stays connected just fine. We'll see.

I noticed the same thing, so I don't think it's just you....

Full screen video is more reliable for me...w/.81 I would sometimes be unable to get back to full-screen if used any controls while playing a video...so far .97 goes back to full screen smoothly if I use controls to rewind or FF while watching a movie.

Why is the official Verizon Wireless software download website so slow in posting these software updates? They haven't even posted the last update from AllTel yet.

Because carriers won't release updates unless it seriously improves/fixes the device. It takes too much time and money to test and release these incremental updates. OS 4.5 is probably in testing now though with all carriers. I'm just glad RIM gives us the ability to update our phones regardless of carrier. That's a big step up from Palm and the reason why I left that platform.

To add on...Verizon won't post another carrier's update. If/when they do post an update it would be to fix issues specific to VZW customers (like an incompatibility with VZNav), or to fix issues that their customers are complaining about that wouldn't be fixed by having them upgrade to an existing release from another vendor.

The last time I called VZW for support (I know, a silly thing to do) one of the things they asked was "Have you upgraded to the latest release from another carrier, and did that help?".

I agree w/the above comment that the next update likely to come from VZW will be OS 4.5 release, which includes Docs To Go, among other juicy bits.

Well...I tried:

m.vtap.com - works perfectly, no more pause/skip every 30s
youtube mobile - works perfectly, no more pause/skip every 30s
blueapple - same problem I've had before...I get audio but no video :(

Hmmm, I don't think its the upgrade - My Alltel .81 release is working fine now on m.youtube.com without pauses, a week ago it was pausing. Maybe Verizon changed something.

Here's a good selection of radio stations from SomaFm.com:

Redflea · 01-31-2008, 03:57 PM

Thanks, that's interesting...it is odd that others on Verizon were getting the pause while others weren't, just a few weeks ago.

Oh well...it's gone, so server or otherwise, I'm a happier camper.

Redflea · 01-31-2008, 07:02 PM

Yeah, I'm running .97 now.

You're pretty lucky to not have to run the VZW OS for weeks waiting for an upgrade...

I used John's excellent instructions in this thread...had already been doing some COD removal but his helped me to really clean things up.
