It seems to be working fine. It's likely an issue with your browser. Did you try clearing your temporary internet files? Also, popup blocker might be blocking it. You can also try T-Mobile but you'll need a TMo number to get through to the download page.

Thanks,

A temporary disable for Norton Internet Security resulted in me being able to see the Download button, it was not showing while security protection was active.

I wonder why AT&T only have the 4.2.1.96 available.

Thanks

They just haven't released a newer version yet. You can run the Tmo version on your AT&T device. It doesn't change your device to TMo. It only loads the later OS version and you get to take advantage of the bug fixes included in the later OS versions.

Twice I have had the problem after the upgrade, same day (today), loss of data capability, had to remove the battery to clear, no clue as to what the cause was except I was in the browser when the problem occurred. I'm beginning to suspect the problem is beta testing via field upgrade.

RevMen · 08-31-2007, 04:48 PM

After upgrading I also was stuck on lowe case edge. I fixed it by pulling the battery and the SIM card.

I fixed my emails by deleting and recreating the accounts in my t-mobile account. Not a very elegant solution but it worked just fine.

Still have problems with dropouts. I'll probably downgrade to .73 when I have a free evening.

I unpacked the new OS, ran it, removed the vendor.xml file. Started DM, plugged in the BB, had gone through the setup wizard, but shortly after clicking the "install", the installation failed with:

"A fatal error has occurred while updating your device's software. Please try again."

I killed DM, restarted it, and now I get a small pop-up window as soon as I connect USB cable into my BB:
- window title: "Email Settings"
- text: "A necessary application is missing from the device. Use the loader wizard to reinitialize the device"
- "ok" button.

Any ideas what could be causing this?

PROBLEM RESOLVED: a reboot by removing the battery got rid of this particular problem. The upgrade is underway. Still, if anyone has an idea as to the possible causes of the above problem, it would be interesting to hear.

Hi all just upgraded to 107 all well and relatively easy upgrade.

my device is being upgraded to .107 as we speak, hopefully it works better than .64, which wasn't bad but was VERY sluggish and it was very inconsistent with it polling of my work email thru IMAP.

dwp1975 · 09-01-2007, 01:50 PM

finished my .107 upgrade, all seems well so far, OS seems zippier than the .64 but that may just be that it's a fresh install and all the cache and such has been cleared. I'm not thrilled with the UI though where the changed the menu to the icons. Hopefully the issue of my LED indicator turning off randomly will cease in .107

I'm REALLY getting tired of having to throw in my negative 2 cents worth, but once again I put my trust into the hands of the people at RIM and T-Mobile only to get messed over one more time!

T-Mo pulled their previous version of their "new and improved" updated software to release this latest version. Once again I sat at my pc for a half an hour waiting for the download and installation to take place with hopes that it would fix the bugs that have been affecting my phone. But guess what people, upon trying to type my first sms I noticed that the problem with repeating letters is still VERY evident! And it's not my phone. I've sent in phones for exchange more than 5 times now for the simple fact that the people at T-Mo were unaware of the problem and thought that switching out phones was the answer!

I'm tired of RIM not taking the professional responsibility to fix such a major problem and T-Mobile for not checking it before releasing yet another poor version of software.

(Wasn't aware I could edit, thanks again John!)

Ricardo,
If you want to state your frustrations here that's fine but take the f-words out Please! Edit your post or I'll remove it.

PS....this was already stated in this thread. A simple read of the thread would have told you that the multitap issue has not been fixed. Learning to use SureType fixes the problem, too.

riccardojr · 09-01-2007, 07:29 PM

Sorry if I offended you or anyone else and yes my words were probably a bit too harsh. I should have looked at previous posts before spouting off at the mouth but by now, after NUMEROUS downloads, installations and re-installations of older software I wasn't thinking quite as clearly as needed. The fact of the matter is that I (we) pay more money on a monthly basis for this phone and services from RIM than most other phones on the market and I personally depend of them for a living as well. If our payment is late, they cut off our service and we are no longer able to use our phone. Why should we accept anything less than a functional phone! I don't think I'm out of line or am asking too much, just probably should have stated it with a touch more eloquence!

Thanks for the note John.

The multitap issue has been around since the beginning of 4.2.1. It's actually better than it was with the first release of 4.2.1. There is also a bluetooth stack issue that RIM has not addressed in 4.2.1 that was not in 4.2.0. I agree with you, both of these issues should have been fixed long ago but they're not. I've been disappointed in RIM's OS releases as well.

Again, Please edit your post above.

I've never experienced problems with T-mo's 4.2.0 multitap, what could have gone wrong when they "upgraded"? Anyhow, enough with the negative stuff on my part, let's hope that our input will at least help fuel them to get back to doing quality work and producing solid products. Ferrari doesn't send a car off the line without a gear shifter, why should Blackberry be any different!
