2009
Rate This
Update time! On 10/14, BlackBerry will release a Maintenance Release (MR) for the BlackBerry 8330, 8130, and 8830 handsets. It will post to Sprint.com/downloads on 10/21/09.
The new software version is 4.5.0.175 bundle 295.
The BlackBerry 8330, 8130, and 8830 MR fixes the following issues.
Display:
If the customer received a new email or SMS text message, the Home screen might not have displayed an indication of a new message received.
Wireless Network:
In some cases, the signal strength indicator (RSSI) might have fluctuated randomly and the customerxxx8217;s device might have appeared to have a strong connection to the wireless network, followed by a weaker connection.
Messaging:
Previously, if the customerxxx8217;s SMS delivery option was set to immediate, their device might not have sent the SMS message immediately as expected
If the customerxxx8217;s were sent multiple MMS messages, they might not have received all of the MMS messages.
Phone and Voice Dialing:
If the customer received a phone call there might have been a delay in audio routing between the time they answered the call to when the recipient heard their voice.
Hold tight for the update next week, and post your experiences / thoughts when it arrivesxxx8230;

This has been the best OS release for me since 4.2.2. The memory management is sooo much better that VZNs current 4.5 release. the only issue I have is the about screen does not work. I have seen that is some of the 4.5 betas, looks like it came back for this release. No biggie though.

I see, you posted in the 8330 thread so I assumed that's what you meant.
Looks like the latest available from Sprint for the 8830 is 4.5.0.135.

Yes, you can load any 8830 OS onto your Verizon device. You just need to follow the instructions above and remove the vendor.xml file.

Try following these steps:
BlackBerry - Update your Device Software
I believe 4.5.0.175 is available for the 8830 for Sprint if you go to the above site and check for upgrades.
There is no downloadable file that I am aware of.

4.5 upgrade / memory leak fix
I just ungraded yesterday ( a very painful process) after having recurring memory issues which many 8830 owners are familiar with. It seems to have fixed all the issues and the device is much more responsive. I strongly recommend any of you with old OS versions to upgrade ASAP. Note that if you are not very BB savvy and PC competent you should let the tech support walk you though the process as it is very painful and if you could create a mess. Enterprise users may or may not have to re-authenticate to their exchange server depending on how the backup goes. In my case it just continued to work but it might be a good idea to have your IT guy on standby. Good luck!

US Cellular has .169 which what is listed in this thread and is the most current available for download as of this posting.
You can load .169 on any carrier branded OS (Sprint, Verizon, etc) by following the steps listed above.

So, I have been running this load for about a week now. The memory utilization is a drastic improvement form .138. I was having to reboot my device on a daily basis, watching my memory go from 6MB on the reboot down to 300K by the end of the day. Now, it hovers around 2-3MB for the past 3 days. Awsome!
Now the bad. I too have experienced the chirping during phone calls. It is not every call and, in fact, it has only been a small number of calls. It is tolerable and if it is only going to happen on random occasions, I can live with it. The memory fix is too vast an improvement for me to whine over chirping on calls.

I'm also noticing the chirp. It's annoying, but I can live with it for the better memory management.
