i use enter to make another paragraph when texting... this is important to my line of job where i have to make bullet points.

If you go in your options. There is an option "Press enter key to send" . Change that to "No"

I have installed and i have all the new features but one strange problem. When people call or SMS it does not associate the correct contact informaiton with the call log or SMS log. Any suggestions?

[g1n]

that's normal if you're using encryption....u have to exclude the adressbook from encryption....(Settingsmenü -> security -> encryption -> encrypt adressbook -> no)...iÄm using german OS...so i really don't know the english names for the menu-options.

in fact....this os-version is such a crap. my screen often freezes or shows nothing (white backround)....6 restarts in a few days...horrible battery life.

I am actually starting to like this new OS, after I accept that it seems to take up another 12 mgs than 4.6.

I understand that they are working on getting the wap shorcut to this site fixed so that it will work in OS 5.0

I was having a problem with generic icons showing up for the three Documets to Go programs. The Dataviz support page was not particularly helpful which said that the icons came bundled with the RIM software and were a part of the operating system. After a number of uninstalls and ots reinstalls did nothing to get back the program specific icons, I noticed on the Dataviz site an alternative method of installing Docuemts to Go instead of ota. That method called for downloading and putting the installation program on the mass storage card and running it from there. It then looks similar to an ota installation to the bold. The clue that this might solve the generic icon problem that I was experiencing was that there is one installation file for OS 4.5 and 4.6 and another file for 4.7 and 5.0. When I reinstalled off of my sd card using the 4.7/5.0 file, the specific program files reappeared.
I presume that for the reinstall ota, the Dataviz site did not recognize that I had a different OS from 4.6 and kept reinstalling the Documents to Go files for 4.5/4.6

Interesting how different folks are having differing results. I upgraded from 4.6.0.304 with the following results.

My boot up time is basically unchanged. Battery noticably improved. I had to do the Browser fix. Camera bug is there but it's a non-issue. No self reboots that I have noticed. I haven't seen the memory leakage that some have experienced. (good thing to because I only had 10Mb's left to start with) I don't have the VVM with AT&T so that's not an issue. I like the changes to SMS as well as viewing my pictures.

I'm very pleased with the new OS.

I like this new OS as well, BB seems visibly quicker.
However I encoutered two bugs:
- I cannot turn off displaying of "My Number" on the home screen while calling, although I did turn on and off the toggle in the Phone Options multiple times
- I have mistakes in association of SMSs to correct conversations (I do not have address book encrypted).
- NYTimes reader doesn't work with this version

So I wait for the newer version of OS 5 to upload

I have upgraded to 5.0.0.411 and I have noticed that the battery lasts longer..

[YBH]

Hi, having poor memory problems after going to this OS (starts at about 18mb then goes to 4mb quickly). I'm fairly sure it aint 3rd party apps (only got Viigo, G Maps and MSN, Yahoo messngers plus Quicklaunch). Some have suggested that there is a Swedish network vers of 411 which may work better that the Bell vers. Is this possible? (initial thoughts are that they would be exactly the same)? also if I want to switch do I have to downgrade then upgrade?

Thanks for the help.

OK, I just loaded up 5.0, and my most frequently used icon is no longer there for music/video. I would open it, menu click and "explore". Where is the file explorer in 5.0? I've read that it is built into 5.0, but I see it nowhere.

[Xaneth]

OK, I set up my left convenience key for "File" which opens the file explorer, but where is this icon supposed to be? Must be buried somewhere? I don't see it under applications... Show all, shows nothing...

[ultraImAn]

can i install the new OS on my Maxis (Malaysia) carrier?

[bghadban]

So i tried to install 5.0 on my 9000 with Rogers, i deleted the Vendor.xml file. When i went to do the upgrade, I saw 5.0 on the list, but when i click next it says that there is no updates available for my phone. I'm currently running v4.6.0.303 and would like to get 5.0 installed. Any tips on what to do? Thanks

Okay, I'm having problems installing this here.

I've installed both the Asian and the Multilanguage version and it keeps showing downgrade. I've tried manually selecting the Platform.alx file and tried to get it to manually load but it keeps showing a downgrade and a previous version of 4.6.

Is there an additional step than what is normally done when updating an O/S

Thanks,

I am with Rogers and had no problems upgrading. I followed the instructions above, except that I use desktop manager instead of loader.exe, as I find that DM works better for me in order to reactivate on BES.

[briandewitt]

I'd just like to +1 the fact that even though I followed the instructions in post 1, page 1, (and have done many upgrades to many different Blackberrys) I too am unable to get .411 installed on the galpal's Bold 9000.

Its on ATT and currently running 4.6.0.297 (4.0.0.247) - the last official release from ATT as far as I know.
